Reviews  

Warning : There are  some spoilers in here   but we tried not to be have a lot t of them. 

       

        The Boy Meets World Spin-off  , "Girl Meets World" is coming to Disney Channel  , it  is created by the same who created the series exactly.   Anyway, I watched the first episode on  Disney's Watch Disney Channel   , they released the first episode before it airs on TV so I decided  to watch it advance then review it here.  

     First , some continuity : the series takes place about 13  to 14 years after   the series finale of "Boy Meets World" (2000)  with Cory and Topanga  now was parents to two kids , the main character  Riley  and her  little brother Auggie.  Also Cory and Topanga  are still living in New York City. 

      Now to the series , the first episode is what I watched.   It's not hard to drift in comparisons of characters for instance , Maya (played by Sabrina Carpenter ) is much like Riley's  version of Shawn Hunter  and Farkle  who seems a  bit like Stewart Minkus ( according to Wikipedia : he's Minkus' son) . The series takes place with Riley  in 7th grade   ,  like Boy Meets World started with Cory in 6th grade. I also liked they named the  middle school  is named  James Quincy  Adams Middle School  alluding to season 2-5's John Adams High of BMW where   Cory , Shawn, and Topanga went to middle and high school.    

         Hard to judge a whole show from it's first episode but  it was enjoyable enough , Riley and Maya  have that same best friend bond that Cory  and Shawn  had in the original series. We meet Cory and Topanga and they still are just as in love as they were at the end of BMW. The Sad thing is we didn't see a lot of her I hope we see more in episodes to come. The fun part is also seeing Jakee` Harry  appearing when needed on the subway. Then there is Farkle ,who loves saying his name alot , he reminds me alot of Stewart Minkus  over does assignments (how was he allowed to bring lit sparklers into a classroom? ) He likes to flirt with Riley and  Maya  and apparently other girls.  If Wikipedia is right he might be Minckus' son  so if that is true that would be fun to see how is father turned out.  We also had a scene with Riley and her brother (no name mentioned but reports show his name is Auggie) the younger brother  but could he be Riley's version of Eric or Morgan  (maybe both combined) , we will have to see more of him to figure out his character  ,it was a brief showing.  The episode itself is about how Riley wants to be more like Maya , a bit mischievous and takes changes , though this doesn't go well.  She also meets a new boy  that in Disney  Channel style she has a crush on.  Also at the end there is a surprise.  

    My thoughts : 

Should Boy Meets World Fans  watch ? , I think that BMW fans will enjoy it , just remember the show was made for Disney Channel viewers first and it's not the same era as the original series. It has some  funny  times and heart warming times.    It has an early feeling of a  Disney Channel series ,like "Lizzie McGuire" where the show felt realistic with some goofy moments  and of course ways less like more  current series ,which is a good thing as Disney Channel is calling it a family series   , like they called Good Luck Charlie.    Hopefully the show gets even better after episode 1 and has some repeat airings on ABC and ABC Family ? please. 

Girl Meets world  premieres June 27th at  9:45/8:45c On Disney Channel.   You can watch the first episode now on Watchdisneychannel.com   and coming June 13th to Itunes for free.  

Thanks for reading.
