We'll admit it: The real reason we're checking out The Disney Channel's "Boy Meets World" spinoff "Girl Meets World" is because we always wanted to see how "Boy Meets World's" Cory and Topanga turned out. On June 27, we'll get our wish as the two characters, played by Danielle Fishel, left, and Ben Savage, center, reprise their roles in the new series. With this "Boy Meets World" reunion, maybe there's hope for some of our other favorite shows. Here are nine more we want to see reunite.
Claire Danes, left, is likely too busy (fighting terrorism as Carrie Mathison on "Homeland") to play Angela Chase on a "My So-Called Life" reboot, but we'll settle for a reunion special. What do you think, Danes? (Bess Armstrong, who played Patty Chase on the series, is also pictured.)
Loyal fans of Paul Feig's "Freaks and Geeks" have been waiting for a reboot since the show was unceremoniously canceled in 2000, after just one season on NBC. Some of the cast, such as Seth Rogen and Jason Segel, went on to appear in Judd Apatow's "Undeclared," which also only ran for one season -- this time on Fox.
The cast members of "Party Down," including Lizzy Caplan, left, and Adam Scott, have been hard at work on their respective film and TV projects since the Starz series was canceled in 2010. Despite low ratings, the comedy received rave reviews.
Fans of Joss Whedon's "Firefly" have been begging for a reboot of some sort since the drama went off the air in 2003. Nathan Fillion, center, now stars on ABC's "Castle."
Before you note how upsetting "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" was -- and don't even get us started on "The New Class" -- a "Saved by the Bell" reunion could be pretty spectacular. Mark-Paul Gosselaar must think so, too. Why else would he have appeared on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" as Zack Morris in 2009? Come on, Tiffani Thiessen. Do it for us.
We love watching Connie Britton, left, on the small screen as Rayna James in "Nashville," but we'd be lying if we said we didn't miss Tami Taylor in "Friday Night Lights." And maybe series star Kyle Chandler, right, could take a break from appearing in movies such as "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" to appease us?
Now that Debra Messing's "Smash" has been canceled, maybe she'd be up for reprising her role on "Will & Grace." The comedy -- starring Megan Mullally, Sean Hayes, Messing and Eric McCormack -- ran for eight seasons on NBC.
We miss curling up on the couch with the best mother-daughter duo known to TV. No matter which way you spin it, a "Gilmore Girls" reunion, starring Lauren Graham, left, and Alexis Bledel, is a great idea.
We hadn't put much thought into a "Step By Step" reunion special before "Dallas" actor Patrick Duffy said he was on board. But now that we know he's game, why not?
- The Disney Channel's "Girl Meets World" will premiere June 27
- The series is a spinoff of ABC's "Boy Meets World"
- It will focus on the tween daughter of "Boy Meets World's" star characters
(CNN) -- The Disney Channel's "Girl Meets World" will meet its eager audience in June.
The cable network has announced that "Girl Meets World," a spinoff of '90s comedy "Boy Meets World," will have its official debut on June 27 following a four-hour marathon of "Boy Meets World" on June 15.
"Boy Meets World" ran for seven seasons on ABC between 1993 and 2000, and starred Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel. The two actors played Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence, a pair of friends who later become love interests and eventually marry.
The "Girl Meets World" spinoff has Fishel and Savage reprising their characters, except they're no longer the story's main focus. Instead, "Girl Meets World" follows the coming-of-age tale of Cory and Topanga's tween daughter, Riley (Rowan Blanchard). The couple also have a young son, Auggie, played by August Maturo.
The new Disney series is expected to hit many of the same themes as "Boy Meets World." That show followed the mischievous adventures of Cory and his best friend, Shawn (Rider Strong), and "Girl Meets World" pairs Riley with a "bold" best friend of her own, Maya. And also like its predecessor, the central characters start off in middle school, where Cory Matthews works as the girls' history teacher.
While the plot will focus on Riley and her friends, there will be no shortage of "Boy Meets World" characters in the spinoff. Rider Strong, William Daniels (Mr. Feeney), Lee Norris (Minkus) and the actors who played Cory's parents, William Russ and Betsy Randle, are all expected to appear.
For fans who can't hold out until June, Disney's also offering the series premiere via its digital service, Watch Disney Channel, starting May 21 for verified subscribers.
"Girl Meets World" will premiere June 27 at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT before moving to its regular time slot of 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on July 11.
