Was it a worthy successor?

I'm asking this because i only saw the first half of the first season and then left because it feeled like any other Disney Channel kidcom with BMW characters in it.

To any one who has seen the whole show so far: Did it got Any better? Or you felt it stayed as another Disney Channel Show that didn't even explode its predeccessor's style?

Lets be honests BMW hit their spot from in 3rd season, the previous 2 are totally generic sitcom about a kid learning lessons but once they grew up and it got into mature and weirder stuff it became a memorable show.

Did GMW showed that in any of the seasons or at least showed some promise of getting there in the future?

I believe it picked up after the season 1 Christmas episode. Yes Ben Savage still played a goofier Cory Matthews than from BMW but I believe season 2 it picked up steam and was improving. I need to add I'm not the demographic the creators were looking for either as I'm in my mid 30s but I grew up with BMW and for some reason kept coming back.

It was great - until the writers killed it when they turned it into a soap opera with a triangle plot.

No, it got worse.

Don't watch season 3, it's mostly boring as hell.

I do believe the show had potential but too preachy at times.

To ask your question, no. The show got more generic & lame after the 1st season, so I stopped watching it halfway through.

No

It was didactic and suffered being on Disney. Had it been part of ABC Family/Freeform it would've had more room. Also it should've followed a male teen named Riley who was competently intelligent but had a sense of wonder, not a pre-teen social retard with lesbian tendencies.

It was starting to improve in the third season...somewhat. Though, it still had limitations being on Disney, as I had pointed out under another topic.

If GMW had continued into a fourth season on a different station, then I might have had a different opinion.

So, to your answer your question: No.

The love triangle was becoming annoying at this point, and the focus shifted towards the costar of the show.

Very disappointing.

I think the only way Girl Meets World would have been able to continue for season 4 was if the show moved to another network to handle the more mature issues during the high school years which would have been nice to see. Personally Maya was a way more interesting character than Riley was even though she was seen as the younger female version of Shawn. While love triangles aren't always a bad thing but when that's all the show becomes about then it is a big problem.
