While I never got into Boy Meets World outside of the occasional episode, Girl Meets World seemed to draw me in more. The Disney Channel series follows Riley Matthews, daughter of Corey and Topanga. Before everyone needed to have a daughter (and they do have a son), what would you call it if focused on younger brother Auggie? Another Boy Meets World? In this case, focusing on the daughter opened the door to new stories, and while characters from the original show would show up (one of Riley’s friends is the son of one of Cory’s friends), none of Riley’s crew is a replacement for the original. You can enjoy both shows and see the torch passed on. You know, what Star Wars should have done, but right.
To finish this year’s Christmas offerings I am able to bring you the episode “Girl Meets A Christmas Maya”. (Too bad the original show didn’t think of that title meme. It works really well.) Riley’s best friend Maya is having her first Christmas with her mom and Corey’s best friend Shawn, who is dating Maya’s mom at this point in the series. Sadly, he doesn’t appear in the episode. The subplot involves Riley trying to get her friends into the spirit of Ecret Anta (that will make sense when you watch the episode…I’m allergic to pain). Will it be a merry Christmas? Watch and find out. Enjoy, and I hope you have one, even if you don’t celebrate the holiday.
