Having finally accomplished all the world-meeting a single girl can possibly do, Disney has canceled its Boy Meets World revival Girl Meets World. The Topanga-heavy spinoff series—which starred Rowan Blanchard as the daughter of Ben Savage’s former Boy, Cory Matthews—ran for three seasons, i.e., long enough for pretty…
Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.
Now that the first two seasons of the show have covered all middle-school concerns (including whatever happened to Minkus), Girl Meets World is ready to introduce itself to high school.

Really dialing into its core demographic—fans of decade-old gossip journalism and pictures of celebrities with semen crudely drawn on their faces—Disney Channel has announced that Perez Hilton will be guest starring on its second-season sequel series, Girl Meets World.

Recently, a TV spot was unveiled for the follow-up to a beloved, decades-old series greatly anticipated by audiences around the world.

Disney Channel has yet to announce a premiere date for Girl Meets World, forever procrastinating the assignment of a calendar date to the twin pinnacles of the ’90s nostalgia movement and this reporter’s career in TV criticism.

That makes sense, considering it’s about the Girl who meets World—and it’s…
The TGIF sitcom Boy Meets World had a long and fruitful relationship with the poetry world, from trenchant commentary on why poetry readings make good makeout spots to collegiate experiments in poetic expression to the multi-episode “Shawn moves in with the Matthews family” arc written by Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney.…
