Boy Meets World
This beloved coming-of-age sitcom follows Cory Matthews from sixth grade all the way through college and marriage across seven seasons, and the content grows up right alongside him. Early seasons are quite tame and family-friendly, but later seasons introduce increasingly mature themes including implied sex, underage drinking, domestic violence, and adult relationship drama.
Best suited for tweens and teens (11+) who can handle real-life topics handled with warmth; early seasons (1–3) work for curious 8–10 year olds with a parent nearby.
