In most topics, I would see someone say that "The first season of BMW is not that good." I really don't understand why because for me, it was the funniest season because the lines were absolutely funny. The fact that kids were saying those lines made it more funny. Young Morgan made me laugh a lot too. Can someone please enlighten me why most of you don't like the first season?
shareThe first season was fantastic. Those people are crazy. Season 5 is when the series went bad. Season 4 had some good episodes but it didn't meet the standards of the first 3 seasons.
shareI LOVE the first season and hated the last season. Of course, by the final season the once great BMW had simply gone the way that all shows do. It just no longer had it. It could not recapture it's former glory, and it was best to end it and have it be remembered for what it once was. Season 1 had something that no other season had. Innocence. Season 2 sort of had that, but not really. They made a mistake jumping Cory, Shawn, and Topanga to high school so quickly. They should have had them be in middle school one more year, and then put them in high school in season 3. I remember how strange it felt when they changed Shawn from living just up the street to living in the poor end of town. And then they introduced Mr. Turner. I liked the character of Mr. Turner, but he had to grow on me. I felt at the time he was introduced that he was a bit too edgy for BMW in the early years. He would have been a better fit in the later seasons. Same is true for the bullies. Harley, Griff, Frankie, and Joey. Again, I liked their characters, but felt like they came in too early. They would have fit better later.

Season one honestly in my opinion felt too much like an update of the old Dennis the Menace sitcom with Cory as Dennis and Feeny in the Mr. Wilson role.

It's really good the first year, I wish it had stuck to them being kids a few years longer. It feels much more grounded and pure. It also feels like a comedy without any of the drama weighing it down. I liked it best then and now.
shareI actually love the first season because we are introduced with character which was Cory and I love some of the lesson that go along with the first season I felt like we grew up with the character from boyhood and him becoming an adult so I don't dislike the first season I love it it's probably one of my favorite seasons because of the lessons that went along with that season
shareI love the first season. It's very different from the rest of the show, but I still like it. I wish they'd kept Minkus on (but darn Torkelsons for wanting him back for a failed revival/remake of their show). And Jason...I know he was in more than the first season, but since he was there he gets talked about. I wish there had been more Jason. I wish he'd made it to the end of the series. In TGIF terms we got a consolation by having him play Rich on Step by Step but Jason on BMW was far funnier.
shareIt was too kid friendly and didn't dwell on the deeper issues that that the later seasons did. No stuff about sex. No stuff about colleges, work, finding one's role in life. etc
A lot of season one basically went out the window -- Eric transformed into an idiot, Topanga became normal, Minkus was gone, Jason was gone, the third friend was gone.
It was an okay season. But not as good as the others.
