Reasons Why Girl Meets World Is Bad to Watch

These are reasons why you should think twice before watching Girl Meets World.
The Top Ten
1 Riley Sounds Like She Has Snot In Her Throat

Eh, it's just how she naturally sounds. Even though this show ruined Boy Meets World in my opinion, it's still better than Pig Goat Banana Cricket (another Nickelodeon abomination, which I believe is worse than Breadwinners).

Riley doesn't sound like she has snot in her throat. She is a very unique person. Girl meets world is an amazing show and I absolutely love this show. The list is terrible and I don't agree with anything on this list.

Even of I hate this show for the plot and characters (except for Cory 'despite his new attitude', Topanga, and Shawn) I have nothing against the actors and their voices, it's just how they naturally sound.

Yea what happened to her voice? Is she not done with puberty? Anyway she really needs to fix her voice so it's not annoying. And for you people writing all good things I think your on the wrong website so

2 It Is Boring

It would be the only good show if it had traveling for example, China and share facts about the countries instead of sit at school and interrupt teachers. That would be a great impact because it's called Girl Meets World, not Girls Learns World.

Okay, for those saying that it needs more farts and toilet humor, you're disgusting. Has nobody noticed that?

UniCupcake, a TopTenner against gross humor, but for TwilightKitsune, and oddly enough, Rainbow Dash! just because I like TwilightKitsune does not mean I can't like Rainbow Dash. The only fans she doesn't like are the cyberbullies. :P I don't like them either.

I thinks some people don't understand the connection between past and present, history is shown through the traits of the Countrys heroes and what they did.

YES!
I haven't smiled 1 sacond watching.
I want an episode when Riley is stuck in a hole and Maya 4 once saves the day and not Riley, BUT every episode has to be the same...*sleeping*

3 It Ruins Boy Meets World

I don't mean to be rude or cruel to people who like it, but personally, I just believe that it was a bit inconsistent from Boy Meets World, and they have different styles, both in characters and acting. I view them as completely separate things. I watched GMW first, and then, when I watched BMW, my mind was blown and I was hooked. Some of GMW's plotlines and characters broke that amazingness. Again, no offense to people who love GMW-- it's just not my cup of tea.

Have you guys watched the interview about the spinoff of boys meet world and girls meet world. Like seriously so what if they created girls meet world based off the original the boy meets world cast didn't seem bothered when the creator did girls meet world.

Ruins the characters actually, I don't recall cory being so goofy that he runs from topanga who's running around the house with a chicken on a fork. The freak? And they said they weren't going to be goofy parents. HA what a joke

Gosh guys, I think that GMW delivered the messages just as well, but in a slightly patternede and modernized way. BMW was pretty straightforward with the morals..

4 They Play the Laugh Track a Lot

Yo, my fam I went to one of the airings and they basically just had a sign that turned red when you had to laugh. I am serious as anything bro. I ain't lien

They have a live studio audience, but even that audience isn't supplying the majority of the laughter we hear. The show isn't even funny enough for that, IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. I smiled maybe a few times but that's it

So what? The shows funny and that's why they do it, stupid!

It sounds like "Okay, everybody laugh! "

5 The Jokes Are Not Funny

Watch the beginning of the episode girl meets farkle's choice or whatever, rowan/riley was doing way too much and maya was over the top like it's not even funny why are you cracking up? The show is stale in comedy, just like all the other Disney shows so people need to stop pretending that it isn't.

Focus too much on being serious and not enough on the comedy. sometimes I cringe, othertimes I do kinda laugh here and there, and then most times I rethink my life choices because the jokes are so bad.

They're always so serious all the time so when they actually try to be funny, it always end up being goofy and annoying.

They are like "oh my SOUuLlL" followed by "how ha doing honey" and then"wow you are really against Texas partner" Guess the characters.

6 It Is Pointless

All their episodes are just plain stupid and pointless. Like Girl Meets Bear when Riley lost her dumb bear and everyone pitched in to help...The problems are so small, but they make it as if it's so big. Like Girl Meets Fish. That was probably one of the dumbest episodes...

It is so not pointless I mean there a life lessons! HELLO
There is a little something in it for everyone. But if I really think a bout some shows do have some flaws and some people just think there are no flaws in any type of show. But anyway this is just my opinion.

Exactly, they claimed they would be different from all other Disney shows but it's all the same. Unfunny, characters you want to slap or tell to shut up with their whining and basic problems that can be solved in one day, and definitely stereotypical characters

It pretty much is mostly due to its teenage stereotypes, pathetic humor, and jerky characters.

7 Auggie Makes You Want to Sell Your TV

They literally have a laugh track after almost everything Auggie does...and he's not even that funny. And why have his parents become okay with him being married (or whatever he is) to the controlling, bratty neighbor girl? I think at first Topanga was mad, but now she just sits and smiles like it's the cutest thing in the world. He. is. Five. He does not need to act like he's an adult all the time because one day he will be one, and it will be the hardest part of his life. What are they teaching little kids? That even though you're not even in elementary school, you need to be in a relationship? It's bad enough Maya and Riley are hardcore flirting in 7th grade, but seriously Auggie? YOU ARE FIVE! And honestly, I think Charlie from Good Luck Charlie was way cuter and smarter.

Why does a 5 year old have to be in a relationship. Disney's obsession with couples is getting on my nerves. For example, I'm 15 and I've never been in love and I live a perfectly goid life, but on Disney Channel almost everyone has a love interest, which can ruin a lot of things.

I am a huge girl meets world fan but I don't like the Auggie and Ava storylines I think they distract the main story. They are cheesy

Auggie would never would want to make me sell my T.V. and he is so cute and adorable! Sometimes I wish he was my little brother! SO CUTE

8 There Are No Black People On It

There are no black people in any Disney shows, only That's So Raven, Shake It Up (Zendaya is considered black), Good Luck Charlie (Teddy's friend Ivy), Jessie (Zuri), and the upcoming new series K. C Undercover (Black parents, and Zendaya again) I think Disney hates black people, I'm even considered black in my school because my mom is Black and Indian, which leaves me mixed because my dad is just plain White.

Who cares, that just means that there are not many black people. That also means that those people who are black just don't want to be on T.V. or they just didn't like the audition for that black person. BAM! ANSWER!

What about Zay! He's one of my favorites. I mean who doesn't love Zay. Who cares! It's just a race dumbasses. Maybe Black people aren't interested. By the way, having a whole black family is racist, and having a white bestfriends, wow even more racist. And people wonder why I hate K.C. undercover.

Not every show has to have a black person on it just like every show doesn't have to have a white person in it and this is coming from a black person.

9 It's Basically the 'Maya Show'

At least she's not annoying. Though she can be a little dumb, it takes three hours for Sabrina Carpenter's character to read 7 pages. Like what the heck?! I can read 655 pages in less than that amount of time.

That is just who her character is and maybe it is the Maya show because Maya has jade a rough past so maybe they just think that people will want to know more about her life.

You could be right. And I agree because I'm not fond of Maya due to her similarity to Shawn. And I loathe bad girls just as much as I loathe bad boys.

Maya is literally the only good character in this show FACT (besides the characters that were also in Boy Meets World obviously).

10 It's Always About Girls

I'm a girl, I'm sick of a lot of the repetitive kid's shows today, and I think that Disney needs to get new writers and plot lines. Though I have nothing against the actors, actually I sympathize them a bit. Basically what we're all saying Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network is be less stereotypical, get new and original plot lines, not have them so integrated into the same universe, destroy the laugh tracks, branch out a bit with your casting like more diversity, get different types of characters, and most importantly put some more effort into everything. Just because we're children and this goes for the little kid's channels too, it doesn't mean that we don't deserve shows with actual effort in it. Change your ways, be original, and you all can get even more people of all ages back.
That's all I have to say,
Anonymous.

I understand the show is GIRL meets world but honestly, they don't represent girls at all. First of all, Maya and Riley are so uniform to every other best friend group on T.V.. There's the smart, hardworking, good girl (although I wouldn't call Riley THAT smart) and the reckless, carefree, lazier friend. Sound like iCarly much? Shake it Up? I haven't even watched Best Friends Whenever very much but I'm pretty sure it's the same there too. Is this the only friendship worthwhile? Where the two friends are complete opposites but can bond over hardcore flirting with boys at age 12? That brings me to my next point. Yes, girls have crushes in middle school, but that does not mean they should encourage kids to start dating as young as possible! I mean during the first episode I was appalled at how they were sitting on some random guy's lap on THE New York SUBWAY! Yes obviously he turned out to be their best friend (after one episode-_-) but what are they suggesting? That it's somehow safe to ...more

The entire story revolves around Riley and Maya with Lucas and Farkle doing whatever at some point. I just love the prejudice it's like someone other than Riley and maya try to leave the classroom they get detention but Riley and maya can because they are entitled as main characters and they don't care so they skip class whenever the feel like it. Nice role models Disney. And the one point where "daddy yells at Riley" she acts like she has the worst life ever and why does daddy hate her. Oh yes and why is Riley always concerned about dating when she's like 13? I know I'm getting off topic but this show is just..

Girls, girls, girls! Boys, boys, boys! Kiss, kiss, kiss.

I hate this show with all my heart. That's the reason why kids in my grade "date" each other.

The Contenders
11 It Always Has to Have a Cheesy Moment In Every Episode

I was watching this at my boyfriend's one time, since I talk about this show to him a lot. But when we watched SoL (Secret of Life) we were both cringing even before the theme song started. My boyfriend then said he hates this show. Afterwards, I had to leave. Ok, that's a totally different story. But the point is, is that on that day it made me realize how cheesy GMW is. The unrealistic dialogue. The humor. How preachy it is.

The moments don't even make sense. The characters aren't characters aren't characters, they're plot devices to move the pathetic excuse for a story along. Nothing they do makes the least bit of sense. They try to be sentimental but come out as stupid.

Actually, I disagree with this. It doesn't have to have a cheesy moment every episode. It has to have about 20 minutes worth of cheesy moments every episode! In fact, every episode pretty much IS a cheesy moment!

I'm like for once have a episode that is funny, interesting and never cheesy. I always get so mad when ever something really cheesy happens

12 Too Much Relationship Drama

Yas Lucas should've just picked Maya, and Riley should've gotten over it and gone out with someone else to make things less awkward

Girl Meets World is like a soap opera. Every time you watch it you want something different, but you end up getting the same old "Who does Lucas love more" storyline.

Don't let your young girls watch Disny it teaches "you only need a boy to be happy without one your nothing."

Disney is obsessed with romantic couples and it's annoying.

13 Cory and Topanga Act Like Boy Meets World Never Happened

The parents are not even scrict.. They let their kids do WHATEVER they want. In the first episode, the parents did not want Riley and Maya together. Then, suddenly, they let her go with Maya! Thanks a lot, Disney!

Sometimes they do act like BMW never existed. Like in Girl meets I do. Cory said that he never saw Shawn happy. when I heard this it kinda hurt, cause I'm a BMW fan. Shawn and Cory has had tons of happy moments,but apparently they want to act like it never existed...nice going writers

And why the freak were they acting shocked by maya's ways? The freak? Haven't the two been friends for a while, wouldn't you know how she acts by now and her family situation.

Yes they do. There's flashbacks all the time

14 Repeats the Same Lesson

Hey this episode about the secret of life this episode too this episode this episode too! come on where's the good lessons. I'm sick of this friendship junk I want some serious moments

What about the lesson that Communism is bad? They had that in there once.

This is true, actually.

15 It Always Happens In New York City

Maybe that's because where they live? Not every T.V. show is placed in New York and that's a stupid reason to not like a T.V. show.

HELLO!
They live in New York. What do you want them to do go to a different state or country in every episode! WOW! JUST WOW!

Just because Jessie does it in NY city, doesn't mea Girl Meets Wart can. Are they trying to steal the Jessie fans?

That's where they live, stupid! And They went to Texas, and Pennsylvania!

16 It's Racist

I dislike that they replaced Angela with Shawn. It couldv'e been so sweet and interesting to see Shawn feel betrayed by her leaving him and finally against himself falling in love again. Plus, Topanga legit has no friends so... They took one of the only mixed racial couples on disney and replaced her with the typical blonde. It's just annoying to take something so sweet and special and make it the same as everything else.

17 It's Too Unrealistic

U guys, so you are telling me that this is really unrealistic blah blah and that iron man, batsman etc are realistic. It's a show you all need to relax like I get it not everybody gets a happy ending but ITS NOT REAL so you guys need to chill

Dialogue/Getting on a cheerleading team when you stink/Leaving class whenever you want/Having kids on your campaign team/Having Cory be the leader of everything (the debate, the spelling bee, etc.)/Talking in class whenever you want to = Unrealistic

That is so true. Nobody is going to be able to just walk out of class for no reason, or get on the cheer-leading team even though she stinks, or basically
do ANYTHING that Riley does.

Yeah, the situations make no sense at all and they say stuff that leaves you scratching your head.

18 They All Talk in a Sorta Poetic Serious Way

Good way to put this...No one in the world speaks like this unless they are giving a prepared speech. It makes all the characters sound really deep and wise unless you listen to what whey are actually saying which is nothing.

Yeah I noticed this.

19 There Are Too Many White People On It

Zay was thrown in as the "token" black kid and Angela will be made the bad guy so Maya can have a perfect family for (white) Disney...typical

There's hardly any diversity in any of these shows today.

This accusation was made by a racist.

20 Maya is a Bad Example of a Friend

Okay I do have to admit Maya is a horrible friend, she pushes Riley on the subway so she lands in Lucas's lap and then she starts to develop feelings for him, while Riley had started clearly throughout the whole T.V. show that she has had feelings for Lucas next Maya "becomes Riley" and tries to tell Riley how she feels about Lucas, in New Years she's dating Lucas I'm sorry what? It's a rule that even if your friend says they're over them or says you can date your ex you don't do it! Maya is a horrible friend I don't see why people like her at all.

Maya is actualy a good friend. She liked lucas for a long time but kept it from Riley because she wanted her friend to be happy. I've never heard Maya insult or degrade Riley for anything. Riley is who I'd say is a bad friend like in Girl meets Jexica when she said to lucas and Zaya that shes better than maya right and said it twice that she was. Riley also looks down on MAya saying that she'll have multiple husbands in that same episode... She BASICALLY said that maya would have commitment issues... that's not what a friend would say. I was even shocked when she said that. So Riley is a bad friend, I don't see how maya is.

I think that Riley's more of a bad friend than Maya. In Girl meets Jexica, Riley told maya that she'd have multiple husbands and one of them would not be lucas.. The lucas part is not what throws me of its what she said about Maya having multiple husbands! This means she's saying Maya will have commitment issues. Then in that same episode when she creates a profile named Jexica, Lucas and Zay and farke comes in and tells them that the "jexica girl" is very intriguing and that they get her. The Riley asks while Maya is their "better than Maya? " then says Its again but this time not in a questionable tone " better than Maya." I think Riley looks down On Maya and doesn't think she'll get to her fullest potential in life.

Maya in GM Texas, takes Lucas away from Riley, breaking her heart. then, in girl meets beliefs, Maya suddenly tells Riley she iS TIRED of her and doesn't wanna be her friend anymore. I also think maya uses rileys good girl image to get out of trouble and ia bad influence. she has convinced riley to not study, sneak out of her house, and stay out past curfew. Personally I think Riley is more deserving of Lucas than Maya is.

21 Riley is a bad friend to Maya
22 It Teaches Kids Bad Lessons

Disrespecting any kind of authority figure, making the main characters dress like supermodels, letting a 5 year old remain in an imaginary relationship, spending too much thoughts on dating, implying that it is okay to be self centered, trusting strangers, responding to the girl at the back wearing glasses with 'yuck' are some of the bad lessons it teaches kids.

Pros: It reaches kids good lessons and morals.

Cons: Can GMW at least show that we can't always get away in middle school? Or you won't always get what you want? And to follow the rules? My best friend is so messed up. GMW is her favorite show, and I want her to watch it in hopes of the show positively influencing her. But instead, she's becoming WORSE.

Yes it does. Girls shouldn't be worrying about a boy at that age. have the mentioned college or how important school and an education is! No. It really upsets me because I know that speaking out in class, having a rebellion, letting my friends off the hook for doing bad stuff and figuring out if a boy will be my boyfriend will not defy my future.Hate Riley, honestly

Mayaville running in the school with paint on their faces. Talking in class whenever you want to. Leaving class whenever you want to. Always getting what you want. Those are some examples of bad lessons.

23 There's no Mr. Feeny

He appeared twice, and he's gonna appear in the next episode (Girl Meets I Do).

Um...yes there is

He should be the best teacher handling Maya's bratty behavior

24 Its Theme Song is Irksome

I feel like it gets stuck in my head when my brother plays more than one of its episodes. Same thing went for the theme song of Shake It Up.

25 There is No Real Relationship Between the Characters

I feel like the cast are just forced to be "friends" you never really see any real genuine connection between anyone. Lucas and riley are a couple now...but they act like strangers. The writers doesn't give any depth in their little group intead its like they''re all together but aren't even real friends. Unlike Boy meets world where even the new charcters like Angelina showed us the realtionships she had with people like topanga, cory, and shawn.

Yeah, Riley says she loves Lucas but she always makes fun of him for his Texas ways
