Disney should be sent to detention for passing off such aural plasticity [laugh track], unfairly fouling the repute of the live-audience sitcom. But the rest of Girl Meets World does its job of bringing tween-based family viewing into the 2010s. Read full review

Replicating the beats of that previous show isn’t as important to Girl Meets World’s potential for success as reviving the spirit of its inspiration. It’s there in measured doses in the pilot, bolstering the broader jokes, staged performances from child actors, and requisite feints toward classroom puppy love. Read full review

A cute half-hour that capably introduces new characters and sets the table for the new series. Read full review

Girl Meets World does improve significantly after the pilot, but it has yet to recapture the warm spirit that made Boy Meets World shine. [27 Jun 2014, p.58] Read full review

It has more of the feel of a traditional family sitcom than the louder, jokier competition on Nickelodeon, but the humor is still pretty broad and the plotting blunt for anyone outside that age group. Read full review

I have seen every episode of Boy Meets World.

I have watched all 7 episodes of Girl Meets World, and I can say with certainty that I will watch every single episode of this as well.

Thank you Disney!

It is important to remember you cannot rate an ENTIRE season based on one pilot. I still enjoyed this pilot, and it definitely lives up to the original. Also, I have seen the next episode on the watch disney app, and it was even better than the first.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My theory is that if you hate it, don't comment. Certainly don't insult. Professional reviewers (as opposed to critics) loved Rowan's performance.

I love it. It captures the spirit of BMW. Like that series this one allows the kids to discover truth and how the "world" works guided and pointed by their parents. It feels good all the way through.

And while the line "Well done, Mr. Matthews," is poignant, what is left unsaid, though it is very apropos, "Well done, Ms. Matthews."… Expand

I was afraid that it would follow too close to the current pattern of live Disney Channel Shows which personally have not always been my cup of tea, mostly due to less-than-par writing, over-the-top characters serving as weak role models and usually unappealing plot lines. I may be an adult and I know these shows are not meant for me, but I know damn well they can do way better with their shows and this is where I feel that GMW steps in, or at least is on its way to.

I have watched every episode thus far and have made a few conclusions; the first is that this is a great cast. Not just the return of Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, but the kids are incredibly likeable and while they do mirror their predecessors, they are able to stand alone and don't feel like carbon copies. Rowan and Sabrina prove to have a great kinship that puts the bonds on other Disney Channel shows to shame. Is it cheesy and crazy at times? Of course, so was BMW, which I can appreciate and anyone who watched BMW from the first season would see that too.

Now the one downside that I feel about GMW is how it is so "moral-driven." Now, it's common knowledge that good kids shows will try to make the viewer learn a lesson and great kids shows can do it in a way that is smart and subtle. GMW ain't subtle. It has gotten better since the pilot episode, but the writers need to trust in their audience that they will understand what is going on without it being explained right at the beginning of the episode and then over and over again within the half-hour time span. It makes the characters seem so self-aware of the issue that they will address in each episode that it doesn't come off as natural. It's clear that the writers are trying so hard when in reality they don't have to. People may try to chalk that up to the acting, but really if the dialogue was written with less exposition in mind and allow the characters to speak a little more in the way real kids would, then I think that GMW could be the triumphant and worthy successor that we have all been waiting for.

I do hope that with time, GMW will find its own place in the world like BMW did because it truly has the capacity to be great.… Expand

One of the most insulting and pandering shows I've ever seen.

The characters are completely unrealistic and unrelatable, the acting is wooden, annoying and awkward to watch, the writing is about what you would expect from Disney Channel: very on the nose sort of talking down to its audience and explaining every little thing with no subtlety. Tons of pointless, embarrassing fan-service and very boring predictable stories that don't try anything new. If you like Boy Meets World do not watch this! I cannot stress that enough. Don't make the same mistake I did. Because this show is just awful. The only reason I give it a 1/10 is because I don't believe in giving things a 0/10. If I did you best believe this garbage would have it.… Expand
