the only difference in boy meets world is the laugh track does anybody feel like this show is somewhat similar to the wonder years.

I no its a little different setting in both shows Dragonflies but look their were 2 boys and one girl on the wonder years and their were 2 boys and one girl on boy meets world, also the wonder years was about a teenager growing up in the 1960's and boy meets world was about a teenager growing up in the 1990's.

I always thought it got those comparisons because of Fred and Ben Savage being brothers. I guess you can find parallels between the two, but I think you can find parallels in most shows if you stretch enough.

There's some similarities between Kevin and Winnie and Cory and Topanga. And of course both shows star Savage's , but they're still unique unto themselves. Personally, I think TWY is a much higher quality show. Much stronger overall. That's not to say I don't like BMW.

i dont seem them being much alike the wonder years is about the 60s and 70s
very different time then the 90s.boy meets world though there were some cheesy episodes over all to me was a much enjoyable show.

Asides from the Savage Brothers, no. WY was more pop culture and less Comedy I think.

I don't really consider the two shows the same (one was a single camera period piece show w/ narration while the other was a multi-camera, video taped show set in the present) other than, they both aired on ABC and they were both "coming of age" shows starring one of the Savage brothers.

I would like to consider BMW to be a more sophisticated, or less cheesy equivalent to Saved by the Bell (it debuted in 1989, so technically, it's more or less, a "pre-'90s show").

Boy Meets World I think, owes more to Dobie Gillis than The Wonder Years.
