Why is Boy Meets World on TeenNick? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TMC · 08-15-2017, 03:32 AM

I mean, TeenNick as it is today, pretty much airs sitcoms (primarily the newest ones with the oldest being iCarly, Zoey 101 and Victorious) from Nickelodeon. Boy Meets World is a major distinction as been airing every weeknight at 9 PM for over a year now, finishing off the TeenNick lineup and leading into NickSplat.

I guess my main question is why TeenNick is airing this one Disney-owned property (wouldn't it be more logical for BMW to air on Freeform) next to everything else that's Viacom-owned. It's just a bit of an odd balance if you ask me. Besides, Boy Meets World is also a slightly more inappropriate and heavy subject-filled show than all the other shows on TeenNick that air before it.

Maybe their rationale is that BMW makes sense as a lead in for NickSplat since it bridges demos thanks to the Girl Meets World sequel series.

I wish I still got this station. Airing Boy Meets World in primetime is great. Freeform isn't exactly family friendly any more, their originals have gotten pretty racy. BMW aired there for awhile but they got rid of it a few years ago. And they never gave it a nice primetime slot. Didn't TeenNick air the Degrassi shows for awhile? From what I've heard Boy Meets World is more family friendly than Degrassi.

Bad decision removing it. My reason for wanting TeenNick no longer exists.

I am not surprised to learn this. With a name like Free Form, what else would they be showing?

God bless you always!!!
