Boy Meets World vs. Girl Meets WorldCurrent TV shows watched by children are constantly compared to children's TV shows in the early 2000s and 1990s. It is said the latter has more substance. This topic asks the writer to compare two television show from different generations. "Girl Meets World" is a continuation of the popular 90's show "Boy Meets World". It picks up with the daughter of the main character from Boy Meets World, Cory, and his childhood sweetheart/wife Topanga. Analyze the difference of themes and how the themes are handled in each show. Take into account the difference of society and maybe even technology at the time of each show's popularity.

Why Harry Potter Appeals to Adults as Well as Younger Audiences | |
In the world we live in today, everyone wants what they want on their own terms. In the case of television, it’s being able to watch their shows whenever and however they want. Online streaming is affordable, easy, and so accessible I do in fact watch it more than television. The only reason I still watch television at all is because my shows aren’t put online until much time after a season airs leaving me with spoilers that make me not even want to watch it. | Netflix and Streaming: How Television is Changing |
Love this show, great summary. It raises awareness about a lot of different things in a cohesive manner. | An Introduction to The Fosters |
I also think an important point is that many adults my age (20s) grew up with Harry Potter. As adults, Harry Potter reminds of our child and gives us something to share with a younger generation because it is timeless.
Also, I do agree that adults like myself appreciate the themes in the novel more. For example, friendship. I value friendship so much more today than I did when I was 10 years old. It is because of this, that I can connect to the relationship between Harry, Ron, and Hermione now more than I ever could as a child.
