      2014 Kids & Family Comedy List
      84% Tomatometer 19 Reviews 85% Audience Score 100+ Ratings From 1993 to 2000, viewers followed the relationship of Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence-Matthews on "Boy Meets World." More than a decade later, the couple's daughter, Riley, is trying to navigate her 'tween years -- and problems that go with them -- especially in regard to bonds with family and friends. At John Quincy Adams Middle School in Manhattan, Riley finds being a student more difficult because her dad is a history teacher there, and she's in his class. Her mom, a lawyer, is involved in her social life and owns a trendy teen hangout. Among Riley's classmates are best friend Maya, crush Lucas, and quirky Farkle, son of Cory and Topanga's peer Stuart Minkus. Read More Read Less

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Though not quite as comical, Girl Meets World sweetly shares the nostalgia of its predecessor, Boy Meets World, with its young audience while providing positive moral values for today's youth.

      Kelly Lawler USA Today It ran for just three seasons but had a charming young cast and updated issues for Cory and friends to deal with in the modern world. Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Marc Snetiker Entertainment Weekly GMW does improve significantly after the pilot, but it has yet to recapture the warm spirit that made BMW shine. Rated: B- Jun 27, 2014 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Tediously self-referential and sweet to the point of cloying, the show has an appealing lead in Rowan Blanchard, which, based on past performance, might be enough. Jun 27, 2014 Full Review Andre Meadows Black Nerd Comedy The two lead girls in this are awesome...Whoever did the casting for those two? Very good job. Mar 3, 2018 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Spin-off series has multi-generational appeal, OK lessons. Rated: 3/5 Jul 2, 2014 Full Review Bri Lockhart The Young Folks I think it's a cute show that has potential and the nostalgia factor on its side, even if the Disney Channel cheese is a little hard to look past sometimes.

      Will W A great spinoff legacy of a great show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Kyle C Terrible, just terrible. Boy Meets World was of its time, it resonated with the world in a weird, whacky and humorous way. GMW is a tacky rip off of the original that has no base or attachment to today's society. It is just another remake with gender reversal. We can do SOOOO much better people. How about some original thinking!? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review meshal m meh boy mets word was so beter Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/14/22 Full Review Audience Member Eu amei completamente !! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A show that relies to much on it's predecessor considering much of the target audience wouldn't have seen it. It provides a some laughs and morals but fails to be it's own unique show Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the first season of this show. It was full of Disney Channel cheese, sure, but it kept my attention with some fun throwbacks to Boy Meets World. I also liked the performances of Mya and Farkle. The nostalgia is strong with this one and with me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
