KaveDweller February 8, 2016 Share February 8, 2016 Oh, goody, another "-ism" episode. Is "commonism" a real thing? I don't know, but when I first saw the title I thought it said "Girl Meets Communism."

absnow54 February 13, 2016 Share February 13, 2016 Why do I feel like this episode was written by Hillary Clinton? Have they almost run out of season 1 episodes from the vault?

TVFAN February 13, 2016 Share February 13, 2016 I agree that the writing for the show is uneven. Some episodes are very good, but this one was quite simply stupid. Cheating is the equivalent of communism?????? Huh????????? And the idea that Maya was somehow learning from copying answers from Farkle was beyond absurd. You don't learn from cheating, and sending the children who watch this show the message that you do is utterly irresponsible. If Disney and the writers are attempting to teach some sort of lesson, they failed miserably. Riley, Farkle, and Maya would and should all have been suspended from school for some period of time.

prican58 February 13, 2016 Share February 13, 2016 I've gotten off track on this show so I need a little help. This is still season 2, right? Disney chops the seasons up like MTV does with Fakin' It and how USA splits up its shows into winter and summer seasons, right? So, I did stumble upon an episode where Farkle is less nerdy and needy and he was taller, more serious and without the young Bieber hair style. When did this change happen and why do we see throwback Farkle here? Are the eps being shown out of sequence? Clue me in, folks.

bettername2come February 13, 2016 Share February 13, 2016 I like anytime they use "(gasp) Topanga!" and Cory saying "darling" but the story was weak. Also, "Teacher of the year!"

Texasmom1970 February 14, 2016 Share February 14, 2016 Ugh, this episode was awful. I agree, and I unabashedly love this show but this was crap! The only good thing about it to me was Zay. This is one episode where I wish they would have went the standard after school special route. Give a clear message you cheat you get in trouble. Not them spinning it as wonderful now Maya's learning, with the commie stuff.

SmithW6079 February 14, 2016 Share February 14, 2016 I think the most humane thing to do at this point is to send Riley to a special school. Mainstreaming is obviously no longer working. I always got the impression that Topanga knows her daughter is an easily led moron, but in this episode, I think Corey finally faces the fact Riley is an idiot. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/38663-s02e28-girl-meets-commonism/#findComment-1958063
