I mean there's no way it could possibly hold up to its competition. Boy Meets World was one of the best shows to ever be on Television. The Family Values, the Moral conflicts, the relationship between viewers and characters. It was perfect.
Girl Meets World is definitely different.
So far the only conclusion that I can come to is that Boy Meets World related with their audience while Girl Meets World tries more to entertain their audience.
Cory and Shawn were representatives of our time. Riley and Maya are entertainers of this era. Think about it. Unless every kid in school these days can play instruments, draw perfect art, sing extraordinarily well, and look hot doing it.
Not to mention Riley's character is just dumb as a brick. She's adorable, I'll give her that, but especially for someone with a teacher for a father she is absolutely clueless. At least Cory had the smart-alecky logic of a normal kid.
I watch the show because I owe it to Cory and Topanga to do so. They raised me and I cannot thank them enough for that. Riley is adorable and the message of the show isn't a bad one. It will just never measure up to that of Boy Meets World.
