Girl Meets World: First Look at the Matthews Family Portrait

[Art Barr]

Just finished it so here are le thoughts:

Laugh track needs to shyt makes the show seem bad and amateur when it really isn't

Dialogue is meh but I can forgive that because the characters and the story is very well defined and sometimes the dialogue is potent, just like Boy Meets World but also on the nose....also just like Boy Meets World

As long as Corey and Topanga are there are I'm good but like someone else said, this is more of a show for a new generation so I know a lot of our generation may feel hustled or duped but they shouldn't.

Farkle is funny but he isn't the new Minkus because apparently, he's got older chicks in the subway knowing who he is and giving him props

Everything feels very convenient on the show which I think is a function of kid sitcoms now, which can be forgiven because the show has potential and pilots often feel like that. Mya is a very dope character

With all that said, I do not like how the writers completely missed a poignant moment between Corey and Riley: Corey and Shawn did the SAME EXACT SHYT with the homework walkout, complete with a "Look for, the Union Label" song and dance and that was a perfect moment to have Corey tell Riley "Yeah, I actually would do that and I did but I learned from it, just like you will." I'm not saying they have to completely make him into Feeney but it just irks me when writers play lose with continuity and conveniently forget shyt for the sake of forgetting. Corey even flashed a look like this girl doesn't know, I pulled that shyt 20 years ago

All in all, good first episode, not great, definitely looking forward to the rest

good luck asking for plausible continuity with this wack Gen on anything.

Spoiler

I don't think they killed off Mr. Feeny. It's probably more that they live in NYC now, and don't live near him. It wouldn't be plausible to have Feeny (and the rest of Corey's family and friends) live in NYC also. Feeny was on that poster saying 'Stay In School' behind him, so it looks like he's still teaching or lecturing somewhere.

Well Boy Meets World's continuity has always been pick and choose so I think it's an in-joke now at this point

Hope they do this analysis after every episode

Might as well make this the official thread..2 more hours until the premiere, I'm gonna watch but things won't get interesting until the second episode since a lot of us have already saw the 1st show a month ago.

gotta remember boy meets world started off childish and grew up with its audience they still got time only thing that bothers me is its disney

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

If you're a grown ass man watching this you need to slap yourself. Give no fukks about growing up on the OG show. This show is for preteens, teens and tweens.

shyt isn't gonna last 7 years, but I'm interested to see if it becomes a generation defining show.

Riley gonna be one of the child stars who has ass pics later tho I can tell

 

[HipHopStan]

There's going to be a new generation of kids wondering and asking what the hell kind of name is Topanga now.

which version of Boy Meets World? The show was constantly retooled as the kids got older. Other than the Farkle parts this show is decent.I don't reall

It's ok. People forget Boy Meets World started out strictly as a kids/family show where some corny thing happened in that first season

Pulled in 5.2 million viewers
