No guest stars this time, but Fred Savage was at the taping, supporting his brother who directed last night's episode too.
I wrote up a few thoughts this morning for my facebook friends, so I thought you guys would appreciate it too:
Last night, I got a chance to see a taping of 'Girl Meets World', the sequel show to a show I love dearly, 'Boy Meets World'. I just wanted to share a few thoughts: 1) it feels right, and just like its predecessor. Fans worrying that the show will Disney-fied, it's not. The original series writers are writing this as well, so the tone and feel is exactly inline with what came before. 2) Rowan Blanchard and Sabrina Carpenter are excellent as Riley and Maya, and they're so lovable, just like Sean and Cory were. The chemistry is great, and they feel real. 3) Ben and Danielle are just as amazing now as they were before. The chemistry is still there. Cory and Topanga haven't changed at all. 4) Michael Jacobs said he wasn't willing to bring the series back if it wasn't going to be as good as what came before. He's very protective, and he knows that the fans are too. They took their time to greenlight it and make sure it works, and it shows. 5) I loved what I saw, and I think it's going to please old and new fans alike.
We actually saw two episodes, because they showed us the pilot before the taping began. It was the sale's pilot, but it was good to see a completed episode to gauge what it would be like. And it was exactly what I was hoping for. There's a lot good to be had here, and I'm just glad that they took it seriously. I would have hated if this didn't work, or felt like fake version of what we saw before. But it feels like a real, solid continuation.
I can't wait for it to premiere in June.
