Between
Gossip Girl,
Greek,
Privileged, and
90210, plenty of shows these days are competing for my teen-TV-loving heart. But deep down, nothing will ever replace my darling
Degrassi, which returns to The N tonight.
This is going to be a pretty big year of transition for my favorite Canadian school kids: Emma, Manny, and Liberty are moving on to Smithdale University, while many of the current Degrassi students — including Darcy (Shanae Grimes, in what's apparently her Degrassi swan song) — welcome new siblings to the school.
If you've missed hanging out with Zack, Kelly, Slater, and Screech at The Max, you might want to see if your cable package includes The N. The network just bought the rights to all six seasons of the show, and
episodes will start airing in January — hopefully at a more decent hour than those 7 a.m. airings on TBS.
Who's excited for tonight's return of new episodes of
"Degrassi: The Next Generation"? Besides, um, me? The show's most recent U.S.
The kids of
"Degrassi: The Next Generation" have never had it easy, with a steady string of absent fathers, Internet stalkers, pregnancies, senseless shootings, drug overdoses, and the like. But the
most recent episode went one step further by killing off lovable goofball J.T. Yorke, whom longtime fans will remember as the skinny kid who beat people up with his school mascot costume.
Finally, Friday night brings the
"Degrassi: The Next Generation" episode that we've — OK, I've — been waiting for: Someone's going to die. The episode already aired in Canada, so the outcome is already all over the Internet, but I'm still excited to see how it plays out. Have you been able to resist Googling to find out who dies?
