Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001)

Watchseries; Degrassi: Next generation is not just a show about teens living in the suburbs, going to some high class high school, and living a great teen life.

It is following in the same footsteps as its predecessor Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High. It is a great show for teens today to watch and be addicted to, because I believe it has some pointers for teens today. It deals with Relationships, Experimenting with Drugs/Alcohol, Teen Pregnancy, Relationship Abuse, the dangers of on line chatting, Sexuality, things that really do happen in real life. I my self am an adult in my early 20's and I find my self in front of the T.V. every time it is on, even if it a re-run I still watch it because that is how good this show is. I give this show 4 out of 5 stars. This show truly is a real life show for real life teens.

Degrassi: The Next Generation watchseries. Degrassi is a wonderful canadian made show based in toronto, ontario. Degrassi tackles many sensetive issues with great care including race and racism, cancer, rape, the death of a parent and school shooters as well as many more.

The way these issues come about is carefully developed making the issues not seem black and white but multi faceted. Just like in real life some times there is pain and anguish but no real resolution all thats left is to try and comfort each other and move on, only taking with you a hard lesson. There is much more I could say about Degrassi but I'd rather just say give it a shot.

After Degrassi High went off the air in 1991, I thought it would be the end of a great Canadian series forever. But in October 2001 I was so happy to see Degrassi The Next Generation.

Of course I have compared it too the original show and I like it even though the new series does not take place in a real school as the original series did. It's nice to see some of the original cast members like Mr. Raditch and Snake (with less hair this time around!)

I'm an American and let me say that the majority of television shows in America aimed for children and teenagers are full of CRAP!!! Once in a while there would be a comedy show that tried doing a special episode (drugs, racism, school shootings) while making the characters more retarded than the common person. Degrassi: The Next Generation on the other hand, is a show from Canada in which it deals with various teenagers coping with life while in high school. There are too many topics going on in every teenagers life ranging from Internet predators, sex scandals, school shootings, discrimination, murder, drugs, rape, pedophilia, coming out of the closet, framing people, jealously, etc., that there's not enough time to deal with all topics. Degrassi is the type of show that handles every situation very well along with making sure that the characters aren't stereotypes from Saved by The Bell or any Disney Channel show. I don't know why some people complain that this is a show taken itself way too seriously, believe it or not, they are showing what it's like in real life to be a teenager put in dangerous situations.

Degrassi is a great show for teens as well as adults. It deals with many important issues including teen pregnancy, homosexuality, losing family members, drug abuse, bullying, puberty, and child abuse. This show teaches many important lessons that everyone needs to know.

Once you start watching this show, you start to think how much your life relates to it. You begin bonding with this show.

I give this show four stars because this show deals with problems calmly, but effectively. It is not only a drama, but also a slight comedy. I recommend this show to anyone.

If you are truly a person, this show is a must-see. There is no reason to not see this show.

Watch it on Digital Cable channel 109, Noggin. It comes on everyday. Check your local listings.

This may not live up to the level of the original '80s Degrassi series, but I still think this is the best (new) show ever for the set age group (preteens and teens). This NOT a fluffy and unrealistic show like Dawson's Creek or Saved By The Bell; it deals with issues many kids face in real life (discrimination, drugs, rumors, and so forth), and often like in real life, things don't just get back to normal at the end of each episode.

The characters on this show range from fantastic to 'eh.' My absolute favorites are Terri and Sean. Terri is VERY sweet and goes to show you that you don't have to be underweight to be beautiful. Sean's often misunderstood. Most see him as a rebel, but he's really a sensitive and loving kid who comes from a bad family.

Tobey and J.T. are great together, though J.T. gets on my nerves sometimes. I don't care much for Liberty or Paige for the fact that they're a bit over the top. Emma's self-righteous at times, but she's still a good character (she's also the daughter of one of the original Degrassi characters, Spike). Manny, Ashley, Jimmy, Spinner, and Craig are all okay too. (I'd say more about these characters but I don't want it to get too long!)

Degrassi: TGN is a breath of fresh air from all the crummy teen shows on nowadays. For one thing, you really can relate to certain characters and plots (I can really relate to the pilot episode where Emma finds out that someone she meets from online isn't who she quite expects. I wasn't so careful about who I talked to online back when I did). But I REALLY hope that Noggin also airs the original Degrassi series someday. That would be incredible.
