And that is why it's cancelled

Just got done watching the Boy Meets World finale, and they basically crapped on all the lessons Cory and Topanga learned back then.

Exactly. They live in a creepy cult-like isolation bubble acting all sanctimonious and preachy essentially petrified of the world and teaching their peers about the mistakes they make *much* to the smug self-satisfaction of their babysitter Cory and also bask in their own glory.

This show wasn't a "on a very special Blossom (or Good Luck Charlie, since you tweens can't remember the '90s). It was a heavy-handed scare tactic by a moron executive producer who has NOOOO business writing for a kids' channel.

Instead of celebrating the achievements of growing up, like going to a dance and having your first kiss (...maybe!), they went:

The "big bad world is so scare-we!" (in baby speak) and Sawyer McBadass is smoking pot in the boys room and the entire world may join and become a pot-smoking zombie society, so we better band together and drill into his head being self-righteous is a more powerful high. The fact it that will also make us grow a glob of wholesome goodness is just our second orgasm.

The show was a F-up from the first episode. BTW, go watch the early Full House episode when DJ goes to a dance and Uncle Jesse catches her w/ a beer in her hand. Yeah, it had a serious message about doing the right thing and being unjustly accused, but it struck the right cord of overall sitcom comedy and a LITTLE dose of lesson teaching. Michael Jacobs NEVER got this!!!!!

You know when I first started watching this episode and the London thing came into play I thought it would be one of those episodes that had an alternate ending just in case it was canned. You know if it was cancelled they would move to London if not they would stay. But it didn't seem that way.

"Who lives, who dies, who tells your story"

Half of these "life lessons" on GMW are basically redundant.

Realistically, Topanga would have taken the job in London. But, Michael Jacobs wanted to follow the same format of BMW by having her make the decision to stay in New York.

If you remember, Topanga gave up on Yale to go to Pennbrook so that she could stay together with her husband. They made that quite clear again in the series finale of GMW.

It was way too lame and predictable. There's nothing really challenging about Riley meeting the world if she continues to get her way most of the time. This is why BMW will always be vastly superior to this show.

True, maybe the cancellation had some influence. Even if it did continue into a fourth season, they would have had her move back to the states anyhow if she had taken the job, as somebody else on here had mentioned.

Oh well, good riddance. Disney severely limited a lot of touchy subjects that would have been better suited on another network.

I definitely agree. What this show needed more than anything else was an episode addressing how dangerous and unhealthy Maya and Riley's relationship was. They basically spent three years advertising codependency as a virtue and telling kids that they cannot function without the constant presence of a best friend who is tied to them for life. The fact that those girls would literally die if they were separated for more than a day actually is a little disturbing. Since the episode was written with the possibility of a fourth season, I do get them not wanting to write off the entire cast. Still, it would have been so much better if Riley and Maya learned that things change, especially when you're as young as they are.

If it had moved to Freeform you would've ain't seen nothing yet for melodrama!

He/she or whatever must be a Trump voter.
