Girl Meets World (2014–2017)
10/10
New and Nostalgic at the same time
27 June 2014
I grew up on Boy Meets World. I tuned in to ABC every week to see what was new with Cory, Shawn, Topanga, Eric, and the rest of the gang, and I still watch it on ABC Family. Since finding out about the reboot of the show through Girl Meets World, I knew it could go one of two ways. 1. It will be down-right awful. Sure, sometimes BMW could get a little cheesy, but this is Disney, it could be cheesy to the 100th power. It could be over-acted, pay no homage to all that made BMW great, be poorly written, and just be ridiculous... ORRRRRRR 2. It will be awesome. It will draw older viewers (who may now be parents of the show's target audience) in with the nostalgia of BMW, not only with cameos of stars from the original series, but also through plot lines, quotes, and details that any BMW fan would instantly grasp. It will be appropriately acted, and well written.

Thankfully, after the pilot episode, I can say that the latter statement is true. I can't wait to tune in to future episodes and relive my childhood through the next generation. I believe it can stand alone without the throwbacks, but I can't say that wasn't what made me love it.

Cory and Topanga forever.
