Girl Meets Rah Rah Episode Taping (Girl Meets World)



Girl Meets World is definitely one of my favorite shows on Television.  So during summer, I couldn't resist going to see another taping of the show.  The episode title was "Girl Meets Rah Rah"



We got to the studio at around 2:00pm and the line was already getting long.  It was a really hot day, so we packed some drinks and snacks in a portacooler and we even had some pizza delivered in line so we had something to eat.  A word of warning, there is "No" bathroom close by, so if you need to go you will have to go to the Starbucks which is a few blocks away.

Anyways we waited in line for a bit and they let us in around 4pm or so.  Phew!  Thank Goodness because it was really getting hot at this point.

When we got in we had to line up by the side of the building.  They let the VIP Guests go in first, but we were inside shortly afterwards and the seats were not even filled up.

They let the kids sit up front!  (Yay!) so I got to see all of the action.

The Audience Warm-Up Comedian got us all excited!  He asked us if we wanted to meet the cast!  We all screamed, "Yeah!!!!"  He said he would see what he could do.  He asked if we wanted prizes!  Everyone screamed!

It's so exciting seeing the set and all the familiar places we see on the show like the Living Room, Riley's Room, Cory's classroom and the school hallway. They look much smaller in person but when you see them in the show they look huge. 

After the producer, Michael Jacobs talked with us for a few minutes.  He said that the episode lately have been pretty heavy, so this episode was supposed to be a lighthearted episode.  He then introduced us to Micky Dolenz from the Monkees who was involved in the show.



Also in the audience was actress Salma Hayek and her family.  I didn't see them sitting with us, so maybe they had seats elsewhere.

Rowan and Sabrina were really friendly and would walk by the audience and say Hi! or wave to us!  Everyone was excited about that!  

During the audience contest, I sang "Take on the World" and got a t-shirt for a prize.  Too bad it wasn't a Girl Meets World T-Shirt!

The show was about Riley trying out for the Cheerleading squad, something that she has been trying and failing for the last few years.  A poignant quote from show from a historical figure was the basis for the lesson in this episode.  I can't spoil it so I won't post it here.  Also Cory (Ben Savage) has a dilemma in being a teacher and a father at the same time.

After the episode was finished taping, we saw some taped portions of the show with Perez Hilton in it, which was hilarious.  The audience was split in half and one side could meet Sabrina and Peyton, while the other side could meet the other actors who weren't ready yet to greet them.  I got to meet Sabrina and Peyton, but also Ben Savage too who was walking past them when they were doing autographs.  I got Sabrina to autograph my CD of "Eyes Wide Open"  She was so surprised to see that I bought it and brought it to her to sign. 

 
Again like last time they rushed us after we took a picture. It was hard to talk to Sabrina but she was really friendly and took her time in meeting with us.  August Maturo grabbed the microphone when we were in line waiting and he did a Q&A session with the audience. It was really cute!


I didn't get to see Rowan or Corey as they were still talking with the other guests backstage.  It was around 7pm when we got out of the studio and it was a fun end of summer thing to do!  Can't wait to tell my friends when we go back to school.
