On June 17, 2013, Disney Channel officially greenlit a series order for Girl Meets World, which began production that summer. On January 23, 2014, the first-season order was increased from its initial 13-episode count to 20 in order to make a full season.
Ultimately, Girl Meets World: Season 1 was at its best when it embraced the family dynamic -- and that extended to Maya, Farkle and Lucas. Girl Meets Brother, for example, was great because it showed a different side of Riley's relationship with Auggie and, by extension, Maya.
