Girl Meets World not the only show that teach life lessons

I'm glad you brought this up because as somebody who has followed children's programming for almost 20 years... Across all networks... All children's TV teaches life lessons even if older viewers don't recognize it.

Many older viewers tend to watch children's TV and simply comment on the "lame humor", or how they can't relate to the characters, or situations because... Well, they're older. Of course, they aren't going to find the same things a 12-year old finds funny, but they mistakenly write off this age disparity and claim shows are badly written and/or don't teach any life lessons as a whole.

This is false.

It's ironic because kids don't like to be talked down to (hit over the head with an idea), yet if this element is missing, many older adults will claim there is no educational value in a show... Even if a show conveys its life lessons in more effective and subtle ways.

Talking about GMW in particular, it failed for precisely what you wrote above:

Girl Meets World just talk about life without living it or doing it.

GMW existed in it's own false reality, so far removed from any semblance of realism. It tried too hard to be preachy instead of tell funny and thoughtful stories where the characters learn from their mistakes without it having to be spelled out for them. This is the key element Michael Jacobs seems to have forgotten (or perhaps, never really understood)?

There's no reason to think if GMW got a fourth season, it would suddenly change storytelling styles.

What do we want? More Asian actresses and actors. When do we want it? Yesterday!

There are a butt-ton of shows on this very *beep* network that teach life lessons. But people are so blinded by the nostalgia factor they just immediately crap on them.

And they wonder someone like Crotch Rocket of the glorious woman-seducing pelvis has to show them the way.
