I don't think that Netflix will save this show at all. Netflix has a lot of show including Fuller House, Orange is the New Black and a couple of other shows as well. The chances of that happend is not very good.
What's your point? You think that Netflix has a full schedule and can't find a time slot to add something else? If that's the case, have a little bit of info for you, there are no time slots.
This is a case of supply and demand. The demand is there, so if it's reasonably possible to do it, they most likely will. I say "reasonably possible" because, obviously, they would have to negotiate contracts, cost, etc. If it turns out to be cost prohibitive, then obviously, it won't happen. If Disney has a say in it and decides it doesn't want to lease out the rights for more episodes to be made, then it won't happen. I know that Jacobs is looking for a way to continue the show, so I doubt he would be reluctant to hear any offers. As for the cast, if there is new life to the show, with potential for growth, I'm sure they would be on board for that. If Blanchard and Carpenter are hoping to expand their career, continuing the series on a new network could benefit them. They would be more likely to make new connections, which in turn can open doors to roles in movies or other shows.
The more known their names become, especially if they are seen as talented actresses, the better chances of expanding their careers and becoming someone like Shailene Woodley. Her most well known role is (was) as a girl named Amy in The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Now she's been in several movies, earning a name for herself and her talent is getting more noticed. I'm not saying that the show is responsible for her success, but she undoubtedly benefited from it and that assisted her with the roles she has gotten. Either because her acting in the show proved to be a selling point, or people she met due to the show, word of mouth, references, etc.
So, if Netflix picks up the show (or Freeform, etc), then more mature topics could be introduced and give them a chance to show their talents in how they portray the characters handling those situations. As it is, they have shown they can perform the roles of kids. They need to be able to show they can perform more mature roles, for their benefit. (Our benefit too, of course, as we would get to see the GMW story continue.)

The demand is there
Really? Your understanding of supply/demand economics is about as good as most Republicans. In that you think that if you say "supply and demand economics" enough you can fool most people in to thinking you understand it when you very obviously don't (and then run the country into the ground for decades and decades).
You need to look at the following link:

A crappy family movie from two or three years ago beat Girl Meets World. Plus reruns of old shows on crappier time slots did almost as good.
It's time to get woke. THE DEMAND ISN'T THERE.

First, I tend to lean towards Democrat, not Republican. Second, I know what supply/demand is and it means more than just what you think it means. I've taken and passed economics, thank you.
When I called Netflix recently about an issue, one of the things I mentioned was about the idea of Netflix picking up the show. The guy I was speaking with mentioned that they had been getting a respectable number of similar requests. As in, a lot of requests, by different people (ie, different accounts). When I say that 'they' had been getting requests, I mean besides just that one representative that I was speaking too. No matter how you try to spin it to make it sound like there's no demand, it doesn't fly. I also recall reading that Jacobs is looking for someone else to pick up the show, because of the amount of interest there is (from fans) for the show to continue.
Trust me, the demand IS there. So, don't think of me as a weak minded fool that you can talk your bullcrap to and expect me to blindly believe it over my own knowledge and common sense.

So you barely understand the words "supply" and "demand" when used in a sentence together then?
BTW when you were looking at the ballot for either Hillary or Trump I bet you were dumb enough to vote for Bernie. You certainly look dumb enough.
Second, I know what supply/demand is and it means more than just what you think it means.
So you're a mind reader now?
I've taken and passed economics, thank you.
From DeVry?
When I called Netflix recently about an issue
Oh so you're also a news source with enough reputation that Netflix is going to give you more than just a standard PR friendly answer?
Is your last name Drudge?
The guy I was speaking with mentioned that they had been getting a respectable number of similar requests.
And this guy you spoke to is in charge of new show acquisitions right?
As in, a lot of requests, by different people (ie, different accounts).
And by "a lot" you mean millions and not just hundreds or dozens right?
When I say that 'they' had been getting requests, I mean besides just that one representative that I was speaking too.
Yeah probably a whole two!
No matter how you try to spin it to make it sound like there's no demand, it doesn't fly.
Yeah because when a few dozen angry people who waste their time on IMDb call Netflix it represents a large TV audience!
don't think of me as a weak minded fool
But that's very easy to do because you really are a dumb as you look!
that you can talk your bullcrap to and expect me to blindly believe it over my own knowledge and common sense.
But my bullcrap is based on actual real common sense and your knowledge and "common sense" is based on delusions bought from a diploma mill on a degree that isn't even worth the paper it's printed on. Maybe as toilet paper?

You see, you haven't provided anything except for failed attempts at insulting me and my looks. You are nothing but a troll and your troll powers have no affect on me. Good try, but not phasing me a bit. All you're doing is providing that you are full of crap and have no real clue to what you're talking about.
