South Park and Girl Meets World

Anyone been watching S18 of South Park (I realize that it has only just started) or S1 of Girl Meets World?

Any thoughts about any of it?

[quote=demonicrack]I really enjoy GMW. I think the BMW fans aren't really growing on it is because it's a little more disney channel-y rather than the original. However wasn't that the case for most of BMW S1? I mean it did have some hefty lessons in there but it was mostly just young and dumb stuff.

I think once it passes the beginning phase, they can move into more risky stuff. The writers themselves said they want it to be like BMW, or not be restricted to a point where it loses its core elements. But keep in mind, the leading actress (Rowan Blanchard?) is the same age as her character so they shouldn't or can't go into the sex and drug portion of life.[/quote]

Yea, i am hoping the same for GMW. I really don't think it's possible though for them to go into riskier stuff while being on the Disney channel though. That company is like Nickelodeon where it must always be kid/family friendly. They need to be a different channel that will allow them to be riskier. We'll see in the future though. It would be awesome if more of the BMW cast starts to show up.

I just watched the newest episode of South Park last night, matter of fact. Was pretty drunk but I laughed my ass off. Was surprised, as usual, about how far the show is willing to go. Which is nice to know they haven't lost their touch.

Yeah, Boy Meets World was pretty bad at the beginning, imo.

What's your favourite episode so far of GMW?

girl meets world felt like a try-hard rehash on boy meets world. I watched the first two or three eps but it felt so fake....like I can still watch eps of BMW and they're not always great but the heart is still there. GMW is just a bunch of forced jokes and fan servicing to the people who watched the first show (ie. Farkle, smart younger sibling, 'bad' best friend) it's dumb.

The main problem is it's on Disney channel. BMW wasn't that great either but the cast were allowed to do things that made the show more enjoyable then. Since it was on abc family/TGIF. Any show on Disney or Nickelodeon is going to be more kid friendly. Which isn't going to help bring the audience that was attached to BMW back for GMW.

[quote=OnlineMusic]I really enjoy South Park. It's one of the few shows that make me lol, but I haven't kept up with current events so I miss a few jokes and references.

GMW I don't care for. I liked BMW when I was a wee lad but I caught an episode this morning and realized how annoying the Cory character is.[/quote]
I feel like south park is sort of layered in that way. It's got a really like superficial appeal as a result of all the vulgarity and stuff like that, and then it has a deeper appeal as a result of its satire and stuff.

What didn't you like about it?

@mitarumetaro: Nah BMW was on abc family/TGIF. That's why they were allowed to do more adult references and not be so cheesy. GMW is alright but not really that good. Hopefully if it continues on as long as BMW it will get better.

[quote=Omniscient1]Girl meets world is okay but it isn't like Boy meets world. The fact that it's on Disney channel really makes the show more childish I guess? Idk what word to use so that's the best i can think of right now. I hate the laugh tracks in tv shows or at least obvious laugh tracks.[/quote]

Wasn't Boy Meets World also on the Disney channel?
I couldn't even get through the most recent episode. I was cringing so hard, it was almost painful.
I've felt like some of the episodes were pretty okay though.

[quote=Phonetics]the last episode I remember was the pinewood derby. so i haven't kept up with south park for like...5 seasons? i should watch more because matt and trey are hilarious.[/quote]
I just watch random episodes on the internet
