The only question will be how many actors will play Topanga's dad in this series if he's in it at all.

Wonder Years > Boy Meets World; Fred Savage > Ben Savage; Danica McKellar > Danielle Fischel.

During the run of their series Topanga was hotter than Winnie, but Danica has the victory on that in present time. I don't look back fondly of Winnie Cooper after watching the series again on Netflix. She was a first-class bitch.
I agree with you on the other things. Wonder Years was a better series than Boy Meets World, but it's also wrong to compare them to one another. They aren't really that similar other than having two Savage brothers in them and having on-again off again girlfriends. The series to truly compare the Wonder Years to is probably Freaks and Geeks instead in both style and content. |

I remember finding Topanga funny looking (and I believe the characters were my age), so when they grew up and she just got hot I wasn't sure if this was a case of 'delayed attraction' or she she just blossomed out of nowhere.
Was it her that changed... or me? |

Both?
New detail is that Corey is probably going to be a 7-grade teacher just like Feeny and his daughter will be in the class. I guess "MR. MATTHEWS " will change to "MS. MATTHEWS. " |

Obv you do cause the only reason anyone is excited about this is a girl y'all though was hot when yr little nuts dropped is in it.. Doesn't matter that it's a Disney show geared at and based around 13 year old females..

Also, it wasn't a bad show to begin with. Yes, Danielle Fischel got a lot of guys into/through the onset of puberty, but the show was actually pretty decent- and not just watchable for the utterly fuckable woman she grew into in the show's run. Hopefully, the new one wouldn't just be slapdashed together to cash in on nostalgia and actually be well written and executed. Then, it wouldn't be "guiltiy pleasure" territory where we're watching it with our kids (or not) simply to undress Topanga with our eyes. Also, bullshit on Wonder Years. I don't look back fondly on that show because Winnie Cooper was a whore who fucked over Kevin every opportunity she got. Goddamn cockteaser. That's all I remember about the whole thing. That, and Fred Savage's JFK impersonation for some reason. |

We're the same age. Topanga started getting hot around season two which was the first year of high school. Not sure when you're delayed reaction was, but it was about that time for Corey and most of the male audience of the same age myself included.

Kris P Lettus knows a lot about a show that is only an idea at this point. All that industry insider knowledge paying off.

If we watched the original without lusting over Mr. Mathews how are you ignoring we can do the same with his daughter? If we're to do it at all?

I actually agree with Kris P. If it's on the Disney Channel, I don't think the writing or subject matter is going to be geared towards 20-something males and this thread got kind of creepy.
TGIF was more of a family night of television. I don't watch the Disney Channel, but I'm pretty sure they're not targeting the 18-35 demographic. If this was going on ABC, I could see it, but not the Disney Channel. |

Now that I think about it, this show would fit perfectly on Wednesday nights with Modern Family and the Middle if Disney wanted to go the family route, which makes it all the more likely this is just for the kiddies.

I watch Power Rangers, dude, but on point;
I have a strong feeling that the writing will be smart enough to keep original fans in mind, otherwise they would have reboot the whole thing. Why bring back Cory and ToBANGa if the target audience were babies during their era? It's similar to bringing Tommy back for one PR season (also a Disney move) knowing the only people marking out would be those in their 20s/30s. They know what they're doing and our reactions are part of the plan. But if you're creeped out then whatever. |

Just because you watch Power Rangers, doesn't mean they're writing for you. Again, Disney could have put this on ABC if they wanted people in their 20s/30s to watch for Cory and "ToBANGa." Instead, they put it on the Disney Channel.
Do you know who the Disney Channel targets? Quote:
That's straight from the company's press guide and no where do they mention anyone over the age of 15 and I doubt they suddenly feel compelled to go after 20/30 year olds for that channel's viewership. I'm not trying to piss on anyone's viewing habits or judge. As long as you're entertained, that's cool. Just don't forget you're watching a show on the Disney Channel based around a 13 year old girl, try to justify it because it includes some character you used to jerk it to when you were 12 or assume that the inclusion of "ToBANGa" is because Disney wants an influx of 20/30 year olds watching their show based around a 13 year old girl because they used to jerk it to the character playing her mother. |

it's not like Boy Meets World was written for 20/30 year olds either and it's great. |

It's great to you because it was geared at your age demographic when it was aired..
If it debuted today, you wouldn't be a fan.. |

Probably not, and I probably wouldn't be a fan of this show if I weren't a huge fan of the original show. Anyway it doesn't really warrant arguing about so I am not going to do it.

Don't know if this series will be able to have the serious issues episodes that Boy Meets World had. TV writers today seem content with making tv series without "very special episodes" concept because they don't think children today can handle it. Maybe they can't. TV used to have a social conscience, but now I think it's just all for entertainment.
