I liked "Boy Meets World" very much. When I started watching it, I didn't like it so much. The first season, when Cory was still a little kid I didn't like so much. But when he grows older, "Boy Meets World" gets better. You see how Cory (the main character) and his best friend Shawn live their lives, how they deal with problems typical for their age, how they behave, their relation with their teacher Mr. Feeny. This is a very good series that is at some moments very funny, at some moments very moving. This is a series that will certainly touch your heart. The acting is very good, and the music is very good, especially combined with the emotional scenes! Some episodes are excellent, some may be a bit less, but in general this is an excellent series that I recommend to everyone!

I grew up watching Boy Meets World. It has always been my favorite show. They talked about everything from a child's perspective to a teenager's perspective to an adult's perspective. The relationships and problems

that faced Cory and Topanga, Cory and Shawn, and the whole bunch face everyday teenagers today. It is completely understandable, and can always make you smile. I hope it continues to air on ABC and Disney Channel. It is an inspiration to children. Boy Meets World shows all of the hardships that children can have. From Shawn's parents splitting up to his dad dying. They show the progression to a wonderful relationship between Cory and Topanga. Some episodes can make you laugh and some can make you cry. It is like a Friends episode for children. It is a wonderful story of friendships, relationships, and life.

Boy Meets World is a show that reminds me a lot of NBC's 'Friends,' except for teens and younger children. Ben Savage leads the show as the character Cory Matthews. BMW shows the hardships of life from a young kid, a teen, a young adult, and finally, an adult. The show does a great job of adding humor in a lot of aspects of the show. As Cory goes on, you can see that he is maturing with time. I grew up with Cory, and he shows how hard it can be. The show does a good job of developing Cory, giving him the girl of his dreams, a loyal friend, a caring family, and a teacher/principal who has always been at his side. The show has everything that makes a good sitcom, comedy, drama, romance, and the occasional deep trouble that every teen gets in. BMW ended 5 years ago, but it is still one of the most watched shows on TV on the Disney Channel and ABC Family.

It's just so much fun to watch this show, and watch the characters develop so well. It's just a shame that none of the actors from the show besides Rider Strong and Will Friedle have gone on to bigger and better things. Look for Ben Savage to star in a movie next year, that's looking very good.

9.5/10 --spy

Boy Meets World is a great show. The first show is as good as the last. It is perfect for the whole family. There is no need to worry about swearing, nudity, drugs, or anything like that. Kids can enjoy it. There are characters that everyone can fall in love with. It is hilarious but still covers real issues like bullying, relationships, and other things that children and teenagers may face.

For those who haven't seen the show, these are some of the best/main characters: Cory- whinny and annoying, but a good guy with a great life; Sean- Cory's best friend, rough around the edges, but a great friend; Topanga- Cory's girlfriend, Smart, weird (in the beginning); Eric- Cory's brother, extremely funny, kind of like Joey from friends; Matt- Sean's half brother, good looking, rich, smart; Mr. Feeny- Cory, Sean, and Topanga's teacher from the first season throughout high school to the last season, gives great advice; Angela- Sean's girlfriend in high school and college.

With this much of a variety in personalities, this show has a character everyone in the family can enjoy.

Boy Meets World is unlike any children's show ever made, or any show for that matter. In an era where every show has to have an angle, Boy Meets World stands out as a story about flawed characters just trying to navigate life. It teaches us so many lessons and I will never forget it as long as I live. Shawn taught us that we can all overcome whatever life deals us, and that you can never judge a book by its cover. Topanga taught us that it's OK not to be perfect, but we can all try. Cory taught us that it's OK to ask questions, to not have all the answers. And Mr. Feeny, well, he taught us everything. He taught us that, above all, we should be good people. He taught us that there are lessons to be learned in all aspects of our lives. Boy Meets World was a great show because of the parents. Corys parents make just as many mistakes as he does, and they're not afraid to admit when they do. But that's not to say that their children don't respect them, don't come to them for advice, and don't always know what's best. Never has a show made me laugh and cry so much. Never has a show so effortlessly addressed the problems we all face. Never has a show been a better demonstration that you don't have to be blood to be family. Full of good values, lessons, and funny plots, Boy Meets World is the show that I keep coming back to. Because never has a show meant so much to me. Never has a show meant so much to us. We will never forget you, Boy Meets World. You made us all better people.

Maaaybe I'm biased because I've been watching BMW my entire life, but even as an adult I will play the show and still laugh. This TV family is like my extended family <3.

This show was the Disney Channel Show that the Magic Kingdom didn't originate. Boy Meets World was one of the bigger hits that ABC TV had during the Nineties for family audience. The Kingdom soon remedied that and it was run on their network in syndication and later Disney put out the current Girl Meets World about the next generation of the Matthews family.

William Russ and Betsy Randle were the parents of Will Friedle and Ben Savage. The show centered around younger brother Ben playing Cory Matthews and we see him first in Middle School then High School and finally college. The American public watched the family grow up and mature all under the tutelage of William Daniels playing both their neighbor and teacher who traveled to each grade. Not like that usually happens, but we accepted it because the show was so easy to take.

Ben also met the love of his life which has continued in Girl Meets World, Topanga played by Danielle Fischl. She's a lawyer and a mom on the current show, but she was a young hippie refugee in middle school. Weird and out of place, but she had something intriguing and special for Savage.

Best friend Rider Strong was part of the growing up process. It's interesting to see how they've brought him back in the new show. Strong hasn't quite settled down yet as an adult.

The most intriguing character for me was carefree Will Friedle. I remember seeing his goofy character of older brother Eric take on a strictly serious persona when he had to recite some Shakespeare. I was blown away by his talent and ability with the Bard. I hope he's done that for real in his career. I also hope Girl Meets World brings him back.

Boy Meets World is what family entertainment should be about.

BMW is a show that can't be taken too seriously. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the first 3 or 4 seasons are the best but then it starts to deteriorate. Season 1 is a show you could watch with your 7-10 year old children but season 2 is where they "age up" the characters. Characters change and plot lines change which is why you can't take the show too seriously. Let it be your comfort show! This show has a lot of nostalgia for us 90s kids. Teens today might not like it as much because the "family sitcom" is basically non existent in 2023. For those who don't already know, Danielle (Topanga), Will (Eric), and Rider (Shawn) have started a re-watch podcast called Pod Meets World and they are currently going thru the series and giving their own opinions and comments about the show. I find it very entertaining and it makes me appreciate the show even more! Give them a listen and give the tv show a try! 9/10.

"Boy Meets World" came out when I was fifteen which means I was just young enough to have an interest, but just old enough to ensure I probably wouldn't be a long time viewer. I probably saw the first two or three seasons and fell off after that. The boyhood exploits of Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) with his friend Shawn (Rider Strong) and eventual love interest Topanga (Danielle Fishel) were funny, but I couldn't help but want to compare Ben's show to his older brother's show: "The Wonder Years."

I never got fully vested and drawn in by the show which, to my surprise, lasted eight seasons. So, for the couple or so seasons I did watch, I rate it a 7/10.

I remember this show from my youth, now my family are watching entire series on Disney Plus. This show does a lot of things right. It chronicles the life of youngster Cory Matthews and how he handles growing up from elementary through college years. His group includes his family. His mom and dad raising 3 children always have the right answer for Cory and their other kids. His best friend Shawn Hunter who lives a troubled life is fighting his own deamons, however the two friends would do literally anything for the other. Cory does find himself in trouble from time to time, but he has a teacher/principal Mr. Feeny who pours love and discipline into him, Mr. Feeny becomes one of the biggest influences in Mr. Matthews life. Then there is Topenga. They have been friends for a very long time. They eventually become high school sweethearts and write one of the greatest tv sitcom romances ever. This is a really good show that can get goofy at times, but they handle teen issues with dignity and care. One of the things that make this show so fun is the number of actors that made appearances on this show. Too many to mention, but it is fun when they show up on the screen.

I also watched Boy Meets World while i was growing up and for the most part it was entertaining, heart warming and fun.

Cory was funny when he was younger but he seemed to lose the fun as he got older, i know he went to uni and had commitments etc. but it's a kids show and he grew up just a little 'too' much, on the verge of fuddy duddy, whilst Shawn was all over the place, amazing their friendship even survived such differences.

Topanga was more interesting at the beginning too; she was kooky and eccentric but by the end all she cared about was marriage and babies (it seems that's what they think all girls think about when they hit 18)

Eric meanwhile grew considerably dumber and the parents were awful with their sugar coated advice and mr. Feeny's life lessons were just stomach turning.

Cory and Topanga ended up not going a second without professing their love for each other and saying things like 'we've loved each other since we were three years old' Yeah right, he never seemed that fond of her at age 11 when it began, it ended up so sickly sweet and the drama often so depressing that it was hard to even call it a kid's comedy anymore.

Good early on, Eric one of the best back then, and really liked Minkis but the later series were hard to watch for fear of bringing up your breakfast.

As a 43 year-old, English teacher, I must admit "Boy Meets World" has some of the most intricate scripts I have ever seen in teenage shows. I sometimes ask my students to view the day's episode at home and come back ready to discuss theme, plot, character, etc. Some students admit to liking the show after a few viewings. Once they understand each character and the force that drives him/her, the show pretty much seems to flow and attract the students.

Oh, yes, I am also addicted to it. I only wish I had followed it through its regular seasons. Watching the re-runs on the Disney Channel is not all that good. They skip episodes and repeat others too often.

In 1993, ABC Studios came out with a coming-of-age comedy television show that was family-friendly, despite tackling some heavy issues. It starred Ben Savage as Cory Matthews. He was flanked by his best friend Shawn Hunter, played by Rider Strong. Together they tackled the highs and lows of growing up in 1990s suburban America.

As a boy that entered sixth grade, in the 1990s, I could relate to Corey, as he would deal with everything from family matters, to school issues, to love. Even though, I did not experience everything that he did, the realistic way in which the show handled these situations gave them even more of a sense of relatability. Despite being a show geared toward teens, this show did not dumb down the humor and story, or pull its punches at the serious moments. The comedy landed, for me, as well as the drama.

Admittedly, the show quality did seem to drop, after season five, when they started targeting the show to an older audience. They, also, added some new characters to the cast and dumbed down the main character's brother. The production quality, also went from a 1990s comedy set to a modern Disney Channel lighting. Despite this decline in quality, the last two seasons had a few good episodes and the show finished strong.

Seasons 1-5, I give a 10/11; and, over-all I give this show an 8/11.

I love this series. I've watched it like 10 time entirely from beginning to end, and I still do. This it the type of series that still makes me laugh even though I've watched it so many times. I still cry at the last episode. This is the type of series which you ask yourself why did it have to end. It is great. You really get to see how the love between friends get bigger and how the love between a couple matures. I think the reason this series is so great is because not only is it about comedy it is also about love, family, drama, and hope. Almost everything you can expect from any series you can find it in this one. For those who haven't seen this series I advice you to see it cause I know you wont regret it. They give it in ABC Family every day except on week ends. See it! You wont regret it.

Maturing is realizing that Shawn and Angela were the superior couple! In my version of events they end up together idc idc. Girl meets world doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. The show itself is amazingly still relevant and was such a comfort for me as a child. I remember with my first paycheck at 17 years old I bought the entire series on DVD. The acting was superb for a group of young kids they brought those very important storylines to life.

This is my all time favorite show. I will be 42 in August and I still feel like I'm in school again when I watch this wonderful show. :-) My mom and I always enjoy watching it together. Even my boyfriend likes it. It is definitely the type of show the whole entire family can enjoy together. I especially enjoyed how well Mr. Feeny taught everyone so well. The characters are unforgettable and I would most definitely recommend this show to anyone young or old. From the first time I saw the pilot episode, I knew this was going to be my favorite show in the world. It will definitely be on one channel or another for years to come and enjoyed by fans of all ages.

Simply Put, Boy Meets World is one of the most well made shows of its genre. The Show has endearing Characters, Great acting,lots of comedy drama and real life situations you can relate to or went through throughout The characters age throughout the show ( pre-teen to adulthood ). There is also enough variety throughout the season to keep you hooked until the very end, which will leave you wanting to keep on watching even after the final episode. Fortunately, you can, now that the sequel has been released. Girl Meets world is a Sequel to this series and worth watching as of now ( 7 episodes so far) if you do love Boy Meets World.

It started with a nice premise.. it was fun to watch the pre-teen Corey and his confusions towards adolescence.. that is only for first two seasons.. once he becomes an adult, the story lost its novelty.. it becomes just another sitcom heavily flavored with love, sex, breakup etc.. we have 1000s of other sitcoms and movies which do the same thing.. watching it for 100 episode with teen kids is a pain.. really im asking, 13 year old kids do so much of make-outs in schools and home ?? sex is the only problem in this side of the world ??

I don't know why, but for some reason, Disney is getting rid of their best shows and putting in new ones that are pointless to watch (ie: "Brandy and Mr. Whiskers"). But "Boy Meets World" is one of the good ones, unfortunately being pushed off to a later and later time.

This show is good for a number of reasons. The actors are hilarious, all portraying very different and very real characters. Cory's brother, Eric, is my favorite, because every show needs a little slapstick humor.

The story line is fabulous. Unlike other shows that portray sappy, stereotypical teenagers doing things no one in real life would ever do,(See "Lizzie McGuire") this show contains humor and drama held together with definite realism. The show deals with a lot of the things that teenagers go through, while making it still entertaining to watch.

I love this show, and personally don't tire of it. It is great for all ages. The younger shows have more humor and are better for younger children, while the older ones contain more drama and are great for teens to watch. I personally like both, and sometimes my dad watches with me.

Overall, this is a great show, and should not be kicked off the air.

This is one of my favorite shows. The acting is good, it's consistently funny, etc. But, it can also be very serious, and deal with some pretty serious problems, but it's not dark or anything, it's a funny comedy that people of all ages can enjoy. I especially love the later episodes when Eric becomes a complete moron. That was when Will Friedle really started to show what a great actor he can be. =] And Rider Strong is also amazing. Shawn, of course, had by far the hardest life of any of the characters, and Rider Strong is just..a really, really good actor, especially when he has to act serious or upset. William Daniels was perfect as Mr Feeny, there will never be another teacher on any TV show that will be as awesome as he was. All in all, I hope the reruns stay on TV for a long, long, time because this is one of the best shows ever. =]

There's some hokey dialogue some times. Some filler or cringey 90's moments. The show doesn't feel that rewarding or special to watch with some not so special kind of style in Season 1 to 2. Most of the episodes felt safe or searching for rare gem moments. Morgan was also annoying until they somewhat unexpectingly replaced the actor with another Morgan, but older. The only thing I remembered that other Morgan said booger. Shawn was at times the typical stupid goofball we know and watch. Despite all of that. I'm glad I watched this show, despite the unfunny dialogue that can be distracting at times. I will say it's not that bad. At least 60% of the time you will get a laugh or smile and even a hard laugh at times. The messages and themes of the episodes are really incredible for a simple kids show. I know this show has a lot of music playing in the messages to make it easier to feel something. I do think if you get rid of the music, it still would take some emotion from me anyways because I feel the importance of them each time no matter how simple or important. The characters no matter how dull they can be at times, they are solid characters for what this show is going for. Obviously Feeny and Shawn are the two best characters of this show and the other characters aren't so low to the scale at all. They still hold the show together and still are a joy to watch. This show gets better after season 2, but you can still see some good episodes in the earlier seasons. Overall, there's a lot I didn't go over that will give you a better understanding on what I witnessed through this show. However, I still am glad I can show you as much great things this show has. To be honest I would enjoy this show a lot more if I actually watched the full series when I was younger. Didn't even finished season 1 for some reason, but I regret it. However, I can't figure out what's waste and what's worth my time unless you look back. I don't regret my childhood because I still got to see the gem no matter how old I am right now. So, is it dated? Sure. Could I give this show a realistic rating? Sure. Do I think this show deserves a 10 for actually trying to be a good shower of life. Of course. Even when they get older it's like the are still young inside and they don't try to be hardcore edgy, but just deal with realistic problems that they go through when they feel one thing or a change happens to them. Even though this show is meant for kids around elementary, middle, or even high school. I feel like even as a young adult or no matter what age you are, it's like you need to at least watch the show in order to have a good life. I know that sounds really silly because I also believe if you hold on to something without letting it go, what reward will you get from something that attaches to yourself where it controls your life big or small? Even though I believe nothing should be pleasured over in this world. I feel like this show can be the only thing I need to really give me the comfort and figuring myself out phase that I would need to hold onto even though I know I don't need it. Also the ending was so joyful but also sad, even though you do see them in Girl Meets World and know they are doing fine in the show. It's not one of the best shows of all time. It's one of the most important shows of all time.

"BOY MEETS WORLD," is my opinion, is a pure ABC hit! I can't recall every episode, but I still enjoyed it. It's hard to say which episode was my favorite. However, I think it was always funny when a mishap occurred at school. I always laugh at that. As a matter of fact, I think just about every single one of Mr. Feeny's (William Daniels) lines was funny. It would have been nice if Lily Nicksay had played Morgan on the show throughout its entire run. Everyone always gave a good performance, the production design was spectacular, the costumes were well-designed, and the writing was always very strong. In conclusion, I hope they bring it back on the air for fans of the show to see.
