‘Girl Meets World’ episode 8 preview: When will the next episode air?

There is something that fans of most Disney Channel / Nickelodeon shows know a thing or two about, and that is waiting a long time to get some new episodes of some of your favorites. Rather than giving you an entire season at once, they are much more likely to give you a big clump of episodes, and then put the show on hiatus for a while.

This is true now for “Girl Meets World,” as well. Tonight’s new episode “Girl Meets Maya’s Mother” may as well be the summer finale, since it will be the last installment of the show for at least a few weeks. Disney Channel has not publicly announced a return date yet, but we would imagine it would come back next month given that there are some seasonal episodes coming that will need to air at the right time.

One of the good things about the show, or really any show, taking this sort of break is that it helps to figure out what can be improved, and what can be diminished. It feels like we’re starting to see “Girl Meets World” find its rhythm already, as it is learning that there needs to be a little more humor than there was in the early episodes, while still keeping some of those trademark “life lessons” that the show is known for. Also, give Topanga a little bit more to do! She has been vastly under-utilized through some of the early installments this season.

Of course, we will be back to give you a full review of tonight’s episode later at the link here … but remember that the show is starting at 9:45 p.m. Eastern due to a special presentation. You can also sign up now to get some further scoop on all we cover via our official newsletter.
