History YMMV / GirlMeetsWorld

*** However when you take in the fact that Shawn was taken in by a cult Cory's actions make much more sense.

** When Maya complains about wanting a back rub in "Girl Meets The Forgotten", Riley happily volunteers to provide one. Maya then responds that she doesn't like Riley's back rubs, since it feels like spiders running up her back, and Riley then tries to convince her to let her do it anyway.

* LesYay: Rosie McGee’s attempts to befriend May Clutterbucket in “Girl Meets 1961” have more subtext than was probably intended. Rosie watches May from across the club and writes about May in her journal before sharing a look with her across the crowded room, which could be platonic enough. However, Rosie then introduces herself with the (essentially a pick-up) line “You are really interesting-looking. Are you as interesting as you look?”, makes a big deal of choosing to sit with May instead of anyone else in the club, and calls May beautiful after her performance. Not to mention Rosie continuing to write about May long after May abandoned her and naming her daughter after the last place she knew May was heading…

* TheWoobie: Seriously, poor Maya. She has a worse family life than most of the other youngsters in Disney media, and that's saying something. Within the first 7 episodes of the series, it's already comparable to Shawn's family life from ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' but it's not been played for as many laughs as it was with Shawn.

* BrokenBase: While the series is generally liked for what it is judging from the ratings, fans of the original series, both critics and public alike, can't seem to agree on whether or not ''Girl Meets World'' lives up to its predecessor.

** The lesson in "Girl Meets Popular". People are very divided on whether Cory's reprimand was ok because Riley committed cultural appropriation, a good way to make Riley realize how far she'd gone in order to be popular, or Cory humiliating his daughter (with the help of her best friend) in front of the whole school for a minor reason.

* WinTheCrowd: Upon initial reports of the ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' producers looking into producing a SequelSeries following Cory & Topanga's daughter, the original audience wasn't sold on the idea. They began to turn around after Ben Savage & Danielle Fishel agreed to reprise their roles from the original series, and more of the original show's cast voiced their support for the new show.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Any time that Topanga begins to show her StepfordSmiler tendencies.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Several so far.
** Lucas and Riley's conversation at the library in ''Girl Meets Boy'', where he talks about helping a horse birth its colt. It's the first real connection that we see the two make.
** In ''Girl Meets Father'', when Cory goes to Maya and asks her to dance during the 'father-daughter' dance. What makes it especially poignant is how Riley looks into Cory's eyes as he comes up to her, and steps aside for him to approach Maya.
** Maya's return of her locket to the rightful owners in ''Girl Meets The Truth''. Taken to TearJerker levels when Maya puts the locket around the little girl's neck:
-->'''Maya''': "Never lose this."

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Lucas turning down Missy's offer of a date with her (after she blows off the idea of a group date with Riley, Maya and Farkle) is impressive for a seventh-grade boy. Made even moreso by his thanking Missy for [[ShowSomeLeg showing off her leg for him]], and by Maya's visible surprise in his blowing Missy off.
** The last four words of ''Girl Meets World'' (the pilot episode): [[spoiler: '' "Well done, Mister Matthews." '']]

** Four words: [[spoiler: '' "Well done, Mister Matthews." '']]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the pilot, when Auggie says that he and Riley are twins, Riley looks at him and then looks down at her chest before saying, "No, we're not." (Minor, but still counts.)

CrowingMomentOfFunny: The way Riley ends up in Lucas' lap (after their initial MeetCute) on the subway:
-->'''Riley''': "That was ''great''!"
-->'''Maya''': "You're welcome."
-->'''Riley''': "What it that was ''the best moment of my life''? What if ''nothing else'' ever happens to me ''again''?"
-->''(Maya smirks as she takes Riley's hand from the rail - and Riley squeals as she stumbles backwards to land in the SassyBlackWoman's lap. They look at one another: Riley is pensive while the woman is slightly annoyed.)''
-->'''SassyBlackWoman''': ''(to Lucas)'' "It's for ''you''."
-->''(The woman hands Riley off to Lucas.)''
