Degrassi - the next generation
my friends from canada have been raving about this show forever, so recently i started tivo-ing the whole series (which repeats on 'the-n' (aka noggin) all the time). i have to say after watching a marathon, i'm totally addicted!
not only is it one of the most honest shows about young teenagers, but as the promos go, the show 'goes there' with topics and storylines that NONE of the primetime youth marketed shows dare to go.
what makes it even more amazing is the fact that there's no 'lesson' learned after each issue is brought to surface. the kids just deal with it and work their daily lives around it; making 'degrassi' one of the most strangely realistic shows on television. who knew that a show aimed at teenagers can be both juicy and well written at the same time?

Yeah, Degrassi "goes there" alright, but Noggin in it's infinite wisdom about what is and isn't appropriate for its viewers, doesn't. Aside from editing, the crap out of their episodes, they don't even air some of them at all. I was blissfully unaware of this until I actually logged on to this web site:
