Gail PenningtonAug 1, 2013

Season 1 Review: It's kind of charming, and sporadically funny, but nothing special. [23 Sept 1993, p.8G]

David HiltbrandJun 26, 2013

Season 1 Review: Savage's sarcastic bon mots sound distinctly more like the words of a grown-up gag writer than they do the spontaneous utterings of a preadolescent. Even though they've dumbed him up since the Borscht Belt pilot, his character is still overwritten. Read full review

Ed BarkAug 1, 2013

Season 1 Review: Boy Meets World isn't as classy as "The Wonder Years" - the opening episode doesn't show much willingness to color outside the lines, which Fred's show often did. But the chances that Boy Meets World will stay around are quite good. [19 Sept 1993, p.9C]

Hal BoedekerAug 1, 2013

Season 1 Review: The marvelous Daniels rises above the cuteness, but he deserves a worthier foe than the loud, whiny Savage. A St. Elsewhere rerun, anyone? [23 Sept 1993, p.7]

Ginny HolbertAug 1, 2013

Season 1 Review: Borrows heavily from both "Leave it to Beaver" and the original "Dennis the Menace." [24 Sept 1993, p.57]

Ken TuckerJun 10, 2013

Season 1 Review: In this trite show about the family and school life of an average 11-year-old, [Ben] Savage's crack timing only makes his glib punch lines seem that much more unconvincing. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bland gruel. [24 Sept 1993, p.E1]
