Among the many problems is the life lessons. First of all, on GMW it seems like the school literally revolves around Riley. Yes on BMW, the weekly class lessons did always relate to some issue Cory, Shawn, or Topanga were facing, but it didn't feel like Mr. Feeny was specifically constructing his lesson plans around them, and then the life lessons didn't feel completely stupid and barely related to the actual problem.
Also having Cory take the role of Feeny was odd given he's in the learning phase and doesn't have Feeny's years of experience and yet everything he does/says is meant to be sage like Feeny. Cory's parents even went to Feeny for advice from time to time. The characters don't talk like human beings, they talk in circles like weird robots programmed to tie everything they say into a vague life lesson. The life lessons they try to impart don't have any connection to reality. The serialized stories were handled terribly, and most of the time, the show couldn't even construct a single-episode plot that made logical sense, was well paced, and resolved itself. It didn't help that Riley was raised in this bubble. It was never Girl Meets World in the same way Cory met the world because Riley had Cory and Topanga as parents and lived under their shadow and story, both in and out of context of the show. So she had a best friend at birth with Maya but had to have their friendship be compared to Cory and Shawn. |

Because I love to see people come back with more wisdom and growth, I prefer Girl Meets World. I love seeing Corey, Topanga, and Shawn share what they have learned with today's youth.
