BOY MEETS WORLD Spin Off Series in Development at Disney Channel w/ Savage and Fishel - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The world has met Cory Matthews — is it time now to meet his daughter? The Disney Channel is in the early stages of developing a Boy Meets World sequel series called Girl Meets World, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Sources say that the cable network is trying to land original series stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel to revisit their roles of sweethearts Cory and Topanga, who married before their ABC sitcom ended its seven-season run. The new series would center on their preteen daughter.

Since wrapping Boy, Savage’s TV guest-star gigs have included Bones, Chuck and Without a Trace. Fishel’s post-Boy work includes National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze and hosting Style Network’s The Dish.

I really like this idea!!!

They would HAVE HAVE HAVE to include of course Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, but also, I would like to see some of the old characters too. Like Uncle Shawn!!

Oh, and Eric!!!

I would also want Feeny to return if that was possible?!

But this is awesome news!!!

I love this idea. I hope they do it and, I wish more shows would do that.

If it wasn't on the Disney Channel I would be more excited-lol I would rather see a family type sitcom then a preteen type show.

This might be tough to pull off on a network like Disney. I will say that if Eric comes back, he acts like he did in the beginning of the series and not like the idiot he was in the final couple of seasons. Everything he said and did in the past couple of seasons annoyed the hell out of me.

Eric was fine in the final seasons, he truly had a heart of gold

I think this series sounds good, I would rather it be on ABC Family than Disney though. Disney will eff it up

retrofan05 · 11-03-2012, 05:13 PM

I like the idea in theory, but Disney shows today are so overly goofy and cheesy. I just worry that the show will be riddled with overacting and an obnoxious laugh track. I think "Girl Meets World" would fit better on ABC Family or on ABC's Friday night comedy block with Last Man Standing and Malibu Country. ABC Family for instance, is already airing reruns of Boy Meets World, so it would fit perfectly there.

I would prefer it too be more family and, real life orriented aswell. But at this point i'll take what I can get. I hope it's god and, they don't make it too goofy.

Well, if it's on Disney, let's hope it's more like Good Luck Charlie and less like A.N.T. Farm.

I'll second that!!!

Even though I love A.N.T. Farm, it is goofy!!

Good Luck Charlie is exceptional!!

But I think if it's on ABC Family, it'll give them more leeway to talk about more serious issues that Disney tends to shy away from.

Agreed. If they're going to make a true sequel, it shouldn't be a watered down version of the original.

Agreed when is it supposed too start? Anybody know?

PrettyinPink55 · 11-05-2012, 12:10 AM

I think it's still in very early development stages and that they haven't even gotten Ben or Danielle to sign on.

Lily Nicksay played sister Morgan during the first two years, before getting replaced by an older actress.
