Default Reply here if you feel Step by Step was better than Boy Meets World

I know Step by Step wasn't that mch of a hot when it was on ABC but it was more watchable than Boy Meets World. It seems like 80% of the BMW eps was about the relationship of Cory and Topanga. Couldn't they think of anything else?-lol On the otherhand, SBS had Tall Goofy Cody, Dana, and JT. Much better show

Boy Meets World was and is a much better show than Step By Step.

Agreed. After season 3 of Boy Meets World it turned into another Joanie Loves Chachi. The first 2 seasons were really good. Season 3 was ok too, but after that I didn't like the show much. I like Step by Step better.

Nope Boy Meets World was better, Step by Step in later seasons became the Lilly Lambert Show

The thing that made the later years better (to me) was that all the characters got funnier. I didn't mind the Cory-Topanga storylines. It also had the Shawn and his brother storyline, Shawn and his girlfriend storyline and Eric getting into college and trying to keep up. The parents and Morgan were seen less and less as the show went on. To me, the heart of the show was season five. So much happened in that season (funny or dramatic). It was also Eric at his comedic best.

Don't get me wrong, I love "Step by Step". But better than "Boy Meets World"? No.

This has been an opinion of TVAdam.

I agree(of course ), plus the Cory and Topanga off and on was for one season, yeah that's a whole lot

Alot of SBS fans complain about how too many storylines revolved around Lilly Lambert in the later seasons of SBS, so much that she got as annoying as Michelle on Full House

I thought Season 5 of BMW was pretty weak. I think I would rather watch SBS than that.

To me (and I'm not trying to start an argument, honest ) season 6 was the weak season. In season 5, I watched it every Friday. In season 6, I stopped watching halfway through.

Also, in my opinion, seasons 3,5 & 7 were the show's best.

As for SBS, I liked the very first season alot. It was still good after Cody left. However, I still laughed more at BMW. I was more invested into the lives of Cory, Topanga, Shawn, Eric, Feeny and the rest than I was to the Lamberts, Fosters and Cody.

Again, I liked both shows, though.

I would have to agree that SBS was much better than BMW. Although I enjoyed the early seasons, the latter ones Ben Savage was just such a whiny little b*$&h and I just couldn't stand it.

Step By Step is one of my favorites, But Boy Meets World was in a league of its own, Especially the last few seasons. BMW Was probably the most randomly hilarious show of all time.

Stuff like Cory having a poster of celery on his wall...Genius.
