Girl Meets World, overall, is cheesy, but I really wonder if Boy Meets World wasn't also cheesy and I didn't notice because I was a kid and the issues were more relevant to me?
That said, I still watch Girl Meets World, because I have to know what happened to BMW characters, and I love the nostalgia of the whole thing.

I wondered that too, but I finally decided that what I don't like about GMW is the "my parent's are sooo dumb, especially my dad" angle that BMW didn't have.

To be fair, BMW did in fact have the "Corey is sooo dumb" angle.

Why weren't more fans of this show concerned about this? They never actually said whether he lives or died? Did they just move right on la dee da like it never happened?
I watch every episode but my favorites are definitely when they bring old characters back.
I think GMW has some of that modern typical Disney humor that's over-the-top and makes adults look stupid. I mean, BMW had some of the goofy humor too, but obviously it was much better.

Agreed. I don't like Topanga's character now. She's almost ditzy, and she was NEVER ditzy in BMW. She was voice of reason, the smart one.
I don't know if the writing for her is terrible or if her acting is just bad.

I don't think GMW portrays the parents as dumb. It's just the over the top teenage/Disney physical humor they use. I don't always like it, but I can't stop watching, lol. (Edit to add: and parents/adults don't generally act over the top all the time. Whick makes them appear dumb/goofy).
BMW was slightly darker but still had physical humor now and again to break up the more serious topics. But was also a prime time show on a major network.
I will say that when Topanga took over the bakery, I thought "if she stops being a kick ass lawyer to run the local bakery, I'm going to be pissed!" .
