Boy meets world should have ended after Season 5

[LincolnHeightsfan]

Who else besides me absolutley HATED the last 2 Seasons of this show? They really started running out of ideas, and having Cory and Topanga get married when they were only 19 years old was absolutley stupid! Also I haven't seen a lot of episodes from the final Season. Can someone please explain to me what everyone's living situations were? I know that in Season 5 Shawn moved in with his half brother Jack and Eric, and then in Season 6 Shawn moved into his own room on campus and Rachael moved in? But what happened in Season 7? Anyways I think that the series finale should have been at the end of Season 5 with the gang graduating High School and going their seperate ways, and Feeney retiring. It would have been the perfect ending to the show if it would have ended then. The last 2 seasons storylines started to be absolutley goofy and wacky. Boy Meets World no longer seemed like Boy Meets world. It just seemed like another wacky show like MAD TV or something. What do the rest of you think about the last 2 Seasons?

I don't think it seemed like a different show. The show's premise was still the same: Cory was trying to learn abou the world, which was exactly what was going on. Getting married by the end of the series was gret, because it really showed how in love both characters were, and it really was a great way to end the series.

Here were the living situations in the final season:
*Cory/Topanga lived in the married dorms
*Eric/Jack lived together
*Rachel was a dorm supervisor, so lived by herself
*Shawn/Angela lived in Eric/Jack/rachel's old apartment

I think that's everyone.

Great post rosanne

Personally I love Seasons 6 and 7, much better than most of the seasons except Season 5

Agree- I like the seasons pretty much from latest to earliest in that order.

Actually, I like most teen/family sitcoms that way like Full House, Family Matters, and Saved By the Bell. For SBTB, I like the College Years the best.

To answer your one question, in Season 7, Shawn lived in an apartment with Angela, and Jack, Eric, and Rachel shared an apartment (if my memory serves). I liked the final two seasons. However, having Mr. and Mrs. Matthews have another baby so late in the series did not make a whole lot of sense, IMHO; especially when we hardly saw the baby at all during those last two years. Not to mention the fact that they aged the baby by about 3 or 4 years in the series finale, which really made no sense at that point, being that the baby was born only one year before. I also did not like how the writers "dumbified" Eric. Those were my only pet peeves about the final two seasons of the show. Cory and Topanga's marriage was no surprise to me.

Boy Meets World was great for the first three or four seasons and OK for the fifth one but I agree it should have ended after season 5. I hated the addition of Rachel and the dumbing down of Eric, and in general the writing went down big time the last two seasons, especially the last season.

I agree that in the last two seasons of the show, the quality of the writing went down significantly. There were also more dramatic storylines during those final two seasons. Home Improvement was similar that way, as well. When sitcoms begin to turn dramatic, it's a sure sign that the end is near and perhaps, it's time to end its run, just my opinion.
