I care about the characters for some reason. On the original Degrassi I just simply got into the stories and the characters, I felt like they were schoolmates of mine as opposed to just a tv show I was watching. I like the new show mainly because of the cconnection to the original.

I guess I pretty much feel the same as you. Did you know the old Degrassi was the top-ranked show in Canada during its run and I believe TNG also holds that distinction. Ironnically, the original was on the CBC network while CTV carries TNG. Wonder why the network switch?

Yes, I read recently that the show was the most popular show on Canadian tv. It's cool. I've just always been a big fan of teen shows, I dig Radio Free Roscoe (airing on The-N) as well.

You mentioned JT's hair, I wish Marco would go back to the style he had when he first started on the show. He's getting a bit too glammed out. It's a cool show though. I'll get the dvd set when it comes out, they'll be the "Director's cut" episodes so we'll see whatever The-N was too afraid to broadcast on tv. If they ever release the original Jr. High and High on dvd, I'm getting those too.

I know what you mean about director's cut. It seems the N episodes are only about 22 minutes long. There's always a 3-4 minute video after the shows. Also, did you see the episode where terry was hospitalized. The acting between Spinner and Paige seemed really forced. What did you think?

I didn't like the scene where Spinner was about to punch the guy (I forget his name) then ran off crying that he was the same violent way. I was watching that scene and thought that could have been done better. I hope they don't do any more abusive boyfriend episodes.

Did you notice on the Battle of the Bands episode the girls had great drums sounds on their song but no one at the drum set!!!

Seems to me The N ruined the fluidity of the series by not broadcasting the 2 episodes involving Manny's situation. Emma and that girl fighting seemed just outrageous. Of course that girl was with Sean's "group" but there was never any sign of friction between the 2 previously.
