This summer, The Disney Channel is premiering Boy Meets World's new spinoff, Girl Meets World.
Girl Meets World Sneak Peak (2014):
Cory will be Riley and Maya's History teacher, while Topanga will be the owner of a so-called "trendy after-school hangout that specializes in pudding."
What the hell did the writers do to Cory and Topanga's stories, again?!
Whether you're an adult, "tween," or teen, who watched the original Boy Meets World series, Cory, Topanga, Shawn, and Eric left Pennbrook and headed straight to NYC on the series finale. Topanga was offered a so-called "dream internship" at a law firm.
How did Boy Meets World end with Topanga interning at a law firm to NOW being an owner of a teenage hangout, specializing in pudding on Girl Meets World?
I hope the writers explain this huge change between both shows. Boy Meets World fans already stated their overall opinions about Girl Meets World, as well as Cory and Topanga's new stories.
On Hypable, here's what some of Boy Meets World's fans said:
RealOnigokko: "Cory's a middle school teacher and Topanga runs an after-school joint and they can afford a high-society New York City apartment? Ima go ahead and call bullsh*t."
Chris: "'Riley’s mom who owns a trendy after-school hangout that specializes in pudding.' so she's not a lawyer? Guess they wanted to make it "fun" for the kids who will be watching it........"
skecchi: "Nice to see the series get a spin-off. I fear though that because the show is for disney channel, it wont be well received by a wide audience range. If it were on ABC, the tone of the show can be adjusted and would be fitting for mature and young audiences."
Daniel Rubin: "To me, Corey was the lamest part of the show. By the end, he was like a 70-year-old man. Shawn, Mr. Feeney, and especially, Eric, were the best. Feenay! Fuh, fuh, fuh, Feenay!"

First ‘Girl Meets World’ teaser trailer released: Make your own world
Last night, I talked to some of my former Xangan friends/subscribers on Facebook about Girl Meets World. Neither of us have any high hopes for this series, nor do most of Boy Meets World's veteran viewers.
I am completely aware that Girl Meets World is meant for the female "tween" demographic much like Boy Meets World mostly pandered to the younger male demographic.
However, Cory and Topanga's stories have been re-written WAY too many times. This can most definitely be said for Topanga Lawrence-Matthews.
Regardless of the age and gender of viewers watching Girl Meets World, Boy Meets World's fans will be disappointed. The writers did NOT stay mostly true to the original characters, stories, and themes.
Taking that into consideration, this only shows that those writing Girl Meets World at ABC Disney have very little integrity, IF they actually DO have any.
Whether or not the writers choose to acknowledge Boy Meets World's fans, we will still be the main viewers watching Girl Meets World.
The spinoff won't necessarily win over our viewership. Reading Girl Meets World's synopsis alone is enough to repulse the original audience.
Hopefully, the "tween" actresses on the spinoff will have enough acting skills and charisma to carry the weight of their own characters, along with such poorly re-written Boy Meets World stories.
Cory and Topanga each have their own history, as well as the original show's history. With Girl Meets World premiering on The Disney Channel compared to ABC like Boy Meets World, Girl Meets World has a lot more adversities to overcome. This is all I have to say, for now.
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Do you think Girl Meets World has a fighting chance or do you expect it to be canceled?
Let me know what you think!
