Does anybody think that the cast and crew focused too much on girls here? I get that this show is titled "Girl Meets World" but I'm a male fan of this show and was surprised at the amount of girl fans that they showed in this behind-the-scenes episode.
Thoughts?
More girls probably came to the taping
shareThis felt less like an episode Girl Meets World and more like an episode of Donahue. I felt like I was watching a talk show.
That said, I did like the joke about Smackle not having been on the show enough.
As for the ratio of females to males in the studio audience, well, it's not exactly surprising. After all, it is Girl Meets World... And it is one of the rare shows that has gender parity.
I did like the moment at the end where Rowan and Sabrina discussed how they first met. Their friendship seems genuine (really, the whole cast seems to get along, which is nice.)
LOL @ fans "fighting" over Ben Savage.
LOL @ "You just didn't want to write a regular episode".
It was cool seeing fans, various pairs of best friends having their own "Bay Window" moments.
Cecilia Balagot is quite cute without glasses. (No pedo.)
It was good to see clips of older episodes, some of which I haven't seen since at least 2015. It's crazy how much they've all grown from the pilot.
Sabrina is incredibly charismatic, but we knew that already.
Those bloopers weren't all that funny, but oh well.
I wish Rider Strong could have made a quick appearance.

This was probably the most interactive episode in the show's history.
shareNo, i don't think they showed too many girls.
Great retrospective on the series. I'd say skip on to about the 18-minute mark though; the first part of it is a little too "scripted" of a documentary to me, and doesn't really do much for me.
I wish that they made mention to their homeschool teacher who passed, but no such mention was made. I also wish Rider Strong was there, even though he wasn't a normal cast member. Not that he needed his own panel chair, but maybe even if he was "directing" it or something. During the Q&A, the cast should have probably thought of some more diverse questions than pretty much always asking: "Who's your favorite character?"
Anyway, it just goes to show that the series certainly was impacting for individuals, even if it's mostly elementary and middle school girls. It also shows that despite the stupidity the show sometimes brings (probably too strong of a word, given that it's all relatively good by DC's standards), there were just some glorious moments that stuck out, and this "episode" really showed them throughout all three seasons. It also just goes to show that I don't think this series should have ended already.
I'm going to miss it.

bmw actually did it better this was more of a thank you because were getting canceled episode
shareThis was enough to make a grown man cry. Case in point, Me! Lol. I'm 23, crying crocodile tears over a Disney Channel show. I could tell Ben Savage got a little choked up at the end but he held it in. This is TWICE he has to say goodbye to Cory Matthews and this time it's permanent.
shareI'm 21 and i went into a week long depression over Lab Rats Elite Force ending. I was also ticked that they left us on a cliffhanger. Hmmph Disney get it together: P

Most of targeted audience is teen girls. Also depending on the age of the male fans there is a certain creepy feeling to see them in the audience.
shareOnce I realized what the episode was going to be, I turned it off, just, no thanks. Doesn't sound like I missed much. This show has been more of an obligation-watch for me anyway, so wasn't going to waste all the time on this kind of an episode, unless a bunch of original cast had come back.
