A very Happy Birthday to Girl Meets World star, Peyton Meyer! He is 15 years old today! I remember 15. Boy Meets World was still on the air and in syndication - so much Shawn! - and I got my first CD player and the *NSYNC self-titled album, and it was the best birthday ever. I hope Peyton feels the same way about his birthday today.

If you want to share your birthday wishes, he's obviously @peytonmeyer9 on Twitter.

After a successful first taping, Danielle Fishel took to Twitter to congratulate the kids, and the congratulations just could not be stopped. Hopefully with all of the positive feedback, they'll add more tapings sooner than later and your friendly neighborhood Amanda will get to go. It sounds like it was a total blast.

Congrats to everyone on the Girl Meets World cast and crew, and congrats to the audience, too, for making this taping a success.

As you know, tonight was Girl Meets World's first live taping, and no, I wasn't there. I don't want to talk about it. But as you can see from these Tweets, Maitland Ward from Boy Meets World was there and posed for some pics with her former castmate Ben Savage, and new generation stars Corey Fogelmanis and Peyton Meyer. Much like Rider Strong, she visited during the pilot as well.

I don't hate Rachel, but she better not be living in the crawl space with Uncle Shawn.

Girl Meets World: I Will Love This Cast?

Episode #2 of GMW begins this week. First is in the can. U will love this cast.
— Mark Blutman (@BlutmanMark) November 14, 2013

Exciting! And I will love this cast? It's time for a breakdown of awesome.

Ben Savage as Cory Matthews

I do believe I was introduced to Cory when I was 9 years old. I'm 30 now. I wouldn't exactly be excited for Girl Meets World if I hated his cootie carrying behind. Love status: love

Danielle Fishel as Topanga Matthews

I wanted to be Topanga Lawrence as a kid. No, I don't mean 16 year old me wanted to be an overachiever and a lawyer.  I mean 10 year old me learned to love my fro-y hair and started meditating to see if I could achieve nirvana and float. I'm a much more vapid and shallow shadow of that pre-teen, but Topanga taught me to always follow the beat of my own drum. Love status: tried to be her

Rowan Blanchard as Riley Matthews

I have a sickness. That sickness is I will watch anything Joel McHale is in because he's wildly talented and what if he takes his shirt off? So I may have seen Spy Kids 4. It doesn't matter how many times. I came for the McHale and stayed because of how amazing Rowan and Mason Cook were. I was also very supportive of Mockingbird Lane and NBC are fools for letting that slip out of their grasp. Disney has some intelligence. Love status: how can anyone born while I was in college be so talented?

Sabrina Carpenter as Maya Hart

Sabrina impressed me greatly this past summer. Like everyone else who has Netflix, I super got into Orange Is The New Black. Amazing show, I saw it three times in two months. One episode features the background of a character named Alex, and she had a very prominent tormentor in her childhood - Sabrina Carpenter. She played a pint-sized rich witch (blogs based on family shows should have family friendly language) so well, I'm really excited to see her play the opposite. Love status: amazing

August Maturo as Louis Matthews

I know August from Weeds. I didn't know I did until it was mentioned he was on Weeds, but then I remembered the character instantly. He is super adorable, which is a selling point for me because I rarely like little brother characters (Cory was simultaneously a big brother). It could be because I have two real life ones and TV really downplays how awful they are, but I digress. August is so sweet on Twitter that  despite loving my jerk brothers more than anything, if there was a brothers draft, I would have delayed my picks about 21 years to recruit August. Sorry Rich and Rob - I just can't imagine August making up stories just to see how much trouble I'd get in for the giggles. Love status: want him to give my brothers good brother lessons

Corey Fogelmanis as Shamus Farkel and Peyton Meyer as Tristan Friar

I don't know these boys that well. That's okay. I know they already have amazing chemistry with everyone else, and that's good enough for me. Love status: free pass

So I'm not going to love this cast because I already do. Girl Meets World is going to be amazing.

Girl Meets World: The First Episode Is In the Can

#GirlMeetsWorld just finished our first episode. Simply INCREDIBLE. 2nd day with my wonderful cast/crew and we are already a family. ❤😊❤
— Rowan Blanchard (@rowblanchard) November 13, 2013

THIS IS A RUMOR.  I AM SPREADING RUMORS.  THIS IS COMING FROM A PLACE OF EXPERTISE, BUT I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING FOR A FACT AND AM ONLY SPECULATING.  THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY FACT, BUT AGAIN, A RUMOR.  Needed to get that disclaimer out of the way.

Given how quickly the episode filmed (only two days), and given this thing called child labor laws and given how much of the cast is children, I have a theory that they simply re-shot scenes of the pilot.  The pilot wasn't going to work as is, as it was, because of Teo Halm's now defunct character of Elliot Matthews being in it.  However, it did have Feeny and they probably really wanted to keep that.  At the same time, they needed to introduce August Maturo's character of Louis Matthews and possibly Peyton Meyer's character of Tristan Friar.  I can't prove it, but it's much more likely that's the case than they filmed an entire episode in two days with strict child labor laws and the fact it can take up to 12 hours to film 4 minutes (I have a background in film).

However, it is exciting to know the first episode is done.  Take back everything else I said makes Girl Meets World real, this is the second most real thing about it.

The first most is when it actually airs.

I Am Loving How Close the Girl Meets World Cast Is!

The kids went trick or treating together as the Scooby Doo gang!  Can you think of any other group that would better signify how close friends they've become, when the first table read is still five days away?  The chemistry on Girl Meets World is going to be amazing!  And, seriously, how adorable is August Maturo as Scooby Doo?  They all look great, though.

The kids from the cast of Girl Meets World attended KCA Dream Halloween last night, wearing handmade steampunk costumes created by @glitterguru for @urchinsproject.  The entire event was for Keep A Child Alive, a group dedicated to bringing HIV treatment to affected families in Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, and India (@keepachildalive).

In attendance were Rowan Blanchard, Sabrina Carpenter, August Maturo, and Peyton Meyer.  Cory Fogelmanis was unable to attend because his homecoming dance was the same night.

The kids looked great, it was for a great cause, and it seems like everyone had fun.  For more photos, check out the kids' Twitter accounts: @rowblanchard, @SabrinaAnnLynn, @AugustMaturo.
