    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.

    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.

    This is, without a doubt, a show for and about teens.

    Girl Meets World is a perfectly pleasant Disney Channel show.

    Though it is not exactly in the spirit of the original, it should satisfy any "Boy" fans eager to see it.

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

    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]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link 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."    … Full Review »

    This has renewed my faith in television. So good to have a great tv show with a positive message. Really good. Great characters, fun/fresh writing, it appeals to me as a 30 year old, my sister as a 15 year old, and runs the whole gambit.    … Full Review »

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. So I will stick around, because it is good, even though it is not a BMW remake, it is its own series that WILL stand on its own.… Full Review »
