Degrassi is the absolute best show on television, and anyone who disagrees clearly hasn't seen what I have seen while watching. It shows every part of teenage life, including geeks, nerds, drug addicts, jocks, devout religious followers , homosexuals, preps, handicapped, diseased, addicted, snobby, sleezy, backstabbing, and beautiful. With over 30 characters, no personality is missed. Each character reaches his or her nadir at one point or another, which makes their drama filled recovery all the more entertaining.
At any saturnine moment in my life, as lame as it sounds, this show has been there to make me happy and help me "deal." I will not say I am obsessed with the show, but I am ADDICTED! I mean, it's really not a big deal that I am friends with a lot of them on Facebook or that I wish them Happy Birthdays... :(). I think the show is like no other teen drama, and it's the original. I strongly dislike all of these knockoff shows who try to recreate the groundbreaking things Degrassi did. *cough Secret Life cough*
Besides that, no other show has as large a cachet in my heart as Degrassi does, in fact, Degrassi's cast are the people that I would choose to meet immediately if given the choice. It's almost as if Degrassi and I have formed into a coalescence, I even speak with a Canadian accent at times to mimic the actors... uhh (awkward). I think, being completely straight forward, that Canada should abrogate the laws that set the borders, and then the cast of Degrassi can come and visit me. We can hang out all the time and be best friends. Is that too much to ask for? You can be the judge.

Hey! I thought I'd comment on one of your posts, because you were the first comment on mine! So my really good friend is also obsessed with Degrassi, and I've never really had time to sit down and watch it. I really want to start though!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I thoroughly enjoy the fact that the character Jimmy on the show, is currently my favorite rapper Drake. He's fierce.
