The show will be fine if the cast gels. It'll be the highest rated show on the network no matter what.

New opening please!!!!

Nene is leaving

The show needs to go back to focusing on half of it being law and the other half being order. To much of their personal lives and I don't care.

!!!!!!!!!!!

I f-cking hate Rollins and 90 percent of it comes from the episodes revolving around her personal life.

Shocked at Kim Fields. I hope she doesn't come on here looking crazy like Kenya.

This is not surprising. I believe the cast will be everyone minus Porsha and Claudia (possibly Phaedra) and a new woman.

Yes she has. LOL

Brandi is out

I watched Episode 2 (missed Episode 1 and don't care to watch) the show is BORING without Mariah. She had a sparkling and bright personality that was perfect for reality television. None of the other ladies have it. Toya is such a dumbass, Heavenly is a condescending platypus looking heifer, Lisa Nicole is boring, Jackie is forced... Simone is the only personality that remotely entertains me but she's not enough.

#Bye #JusticeforMariah

In general it needs to get back to the fun, that originally set it apart. I'm all for shade and occasional arguments, but Atlanta used to be LOL funny to me.

Yep. Season 3 is the epitome of this to me. The show has gotten so ugly and dark. They all hate each other it's so much vitriol.

Atlanta already bled like a million+ viewers this season.

Yeah I was just about to post this. Funny enough the show is still far and away the highest rated show on Bravo. thats how huge it was last season. That's why folks like Claudia,Phaedra, and Porsha need to be fired. They also need to find married women next season. Kenya needs to be the only single woman and they need to focus less on "reading" and "shading" and let stuff happen naturally.

Lmao. So Kristen was in the middle of talking and she walked away?

To be honest, none of their other shows ever grabbed me the same way Degrassi did.Maybe because I was never in the right demo, but still...

Radio Free Roscoe was boring as f.uck, South Of Nowhere also looked boring, and Instant Star was an abomination.

South of Nowhere was alright for its first two seasons but it's last sucked. They killed off one of the siblings and his brother started a relationship with his deceased brother's pregnant girlfriend. I had to tune out. The show I hated most was that show with the girls who were surfers. I forgot the name.

All My Shadows did you ever watch The Best Years? Fantastic show but it got low ratings and canceled after Season 1, their was a fan petition that got it a 6 episode Season 2 and it still got canceled lol it is honestly the best show The N ever aired besides Season 3-5 Degrassi.

I hope they bring all the old episodes to Netflix. He'll even the 1980's Degrassi episodes too!

I paid it dust. I'm tired of Mama Joyce and her sisters.

Yall remember them wasting an A plot on Spinner and Manny getting together only to have them break up three episodes later when Spinner told Jimmy he was part of the reason Rick shot him? They didn't even have a formal break up he just showed up to school the next day looked at Manny and she paid him dust.

And I forgot to mention U Got the Look. The beginnings of Manny being the "school slut" in Emma's word (fast forward a year later and Emma is sucking Dick in the ravine and contracts gonorrhea lol)

Manny: He said no visible underwear. Do you see any underwear?

Emma: No

Manny: Good. Because I'm not wearing any.

I was like YAAAASSSS

Netflix needs to snatch this show up. Binge watch fantasy.

To sum up my feelings for the whole show, I think they excelled at dramatically portraying mundane teenage issues during the glory days. They didn't rely on a huge events and gimmicks to get you watching -- it was truly a slow-moving, character-driven soap for teenagers with plenty of episodic plots thrown in. Unfortunately, once the original crew was gone, TPTB succumbed to pressure to make the show glossier and less believable. They got a lot of that original flavor back later on, but I think upping the episode counts for each season was a huge mistake that might have ultimately led to cancellation.

I'm trying to think of what place a show like this could have in the current TV landscape, and I'm having trouble coming up with a definitive answer. It did so well for so long on a US network that wasn't widely available at the time, but I think that popularity leveled off at some point. Maybe if they'd moved it to Nickelodeon proper or to MTV (which did air day-after encores a few summers ago), it would have kept the momentum up. But whatever, it ran for 14 seasons and nearly 400 episodes. That's an extraordinary run that no one saw coming, and I'm proud to say I'm a fan. Time for someone to start the reruns from episode 1.

Yes to the bolded especially those faux Gossip Girl characters Declan and Fiona. They also kinda stopped casting regular looking teens. Miriam McDonald would have NEVER been cast on Degrassi had she been born 10 years later. She developed into a beautiful woman but chile those first 2 or 3 years.... Lol I couldn't imagine going through puberty on television.

I thought season 13-14 was a pretty good season. At least when it comes to the character of Zoe Rivas. Her stories have been good. Her coming for Maya over Miles and starting a "FaceRange" page of Maya being scantily clad to her being sexually assaulted by Becky's brother. I also thought her sexting story with getting the spirit squad to sell their nudes for money was good too. Especially, when she got Frankie (Miles' sister) to take the blame.

Yeah, her sexual assault is a modern spin of Paige's rape, but it was good. Again, I feel like Zoe is a good little scheming minx for the show and she has breathed some new life into the show.

I also enjoyed Tristan having affairs with his creative writing teacher, and him eventually becoming involved with his best friend, Maya's, ex-boyfriend (Miles).

I do feel like these last two season though that they had a hard time figuring out what to do with the outgoing seniors [Ally, Mike, Drew, Claire, and Jenna].

I'm sad if this is end of Degrassi but I do hope all these actors land on their feet. I feel like most of these youngsters have real talent. I feel like Degrassi was always a good start for young Canadian actors.

I like Zoe too. She's the strongest of the newer characters. I feel sorry for having to work with the people who play Miles, Maya, and Frankie. It must be like working with cardboard cutouts. I hope she finds work after.

I'm still PRESSEDT that Cassie Steele didn't blow up in the acting or music world. She's amazing. Drake knows he could have put her on a hook or something.

Penis pump was in Season 4! My memory's going to crap. LOL!

Long post alert! All My Shadows you better read all this I like your feedback lol

Firstly, 14 years?! This show was a low key underground icon, it's crazy to think that this show which was so popular among my group of friends only hit 1 million viewers ONCE in its entire run on The-N/TeenNick. (I am feeling nostalgic thinking about The-N when it was strictly 6pm-6am and had shows like The Best Years, South of Nowhere, and Radio Free Roscoe *sigh* )

Secondly, let's marinate on the fact that the two most famous Degrassi alum are Aubrey Graham and Nina Dobrev. So random! LOL. I love Drizzy though.

Ok as far as my favorite storylines and characters, this show was everything to me Season 3-5, 6-7 were bad when I first watched but in hindsight were strong seasons that just suffered from the fact that they followed behind much superior seasons.

Season 1-2: These seasons were good for what it was, but seeing as the kids were in 7th and 8th grade there wasn't much room to do much of anything. Season 1 was particulary "childish". The strongest episodes from these seasons are Jagged Little Pill (Ashley taking ectasy), Paige's rape, and the two parters dealing with Craig's abusive dad. I also liked the one lead plot Hazel had but other than that I pay these seasons dust.

Season 3: It's pretty much unanimous among the Degrassi fandom that this was the best and strongest season overall. Every character had an A-plot, and it was a really good season as far as character development.

Favorite episodes: Pride (Marco's coming out was phenomenal and I could relate), Should I Stay Or Should I Go? (The Manny/Craig/Ashley triangle was flawless), Gangsta Gangsta (the end of Sean and Emma, and the introduction of Jay and Alex), and Accidents Will Happen (Manny is bae and the abortion episode was everything.) Other gems include Take On Me (the Breakfast Club episode) and the episode where JT bought the penis pump.

Season 4: The first half of this season is the best stretch of episodes the show ever had. Ghost In the Machine (Paige's rapist going to trial), King of Pain (Marco coming out to his mom/The return of Rick), Anywhere I Lay My Head (Ellie confronting her alcoholic mother), and of course the classic Time Stands Still two parter when Rick shot my husband in the back! The show went off the rails with the Craig going bipolar storyline and the introduction of Silent Bob or whatever his name is lead to the most horrendous subplot ever. The only bright spot of the second half of the season was Secret (Emma giving blowjobs in the ravine) and West End Girls (Manny v. Paige for Prom Queen)

Season 5: It was a dip in quality but the show was still strong. Venus is my favorite Manny plot ever and the "I'm gonna be famous" boob flash is iconic in its own right. This season was the first time I began to take Spinner seriously and I loved him and Darcy. His isolation from his former friends and him embracing religion was different and I liked that. JT and Liberty's pregnancy storyline could have been better handled and I don't like the awkward position the writers left them in, but I guess that's true to life. Not every high school couple stays together through that. Ellie and Craig were lame, and I was so happy to see him leave. Manny and Craig 2.0 was random and left a lot to be desired. Paige and Alex was random, but yet somehow it worked. I usually enjoyed Emma during these seasons but the anorexia episode was some of the worst acting Miriam McDonald ever did, Cassie Steele carried that episode as usual.

Season 6: I abhorred this season when it aired, but looking back it was really good. The Sean and Emma reunion was the worst plot the show could have ever went with. They were not that great, Ellie and Sean were far more popular and he should have came back for her. Darcy's plot with the posting pics online was good, but I hated she and Spinner broke up. Jimmy and Ashley 2.0 was a fail on many levels, and I feel as if Ashley was with him out of sympathy. The bright spot of this season was the scene at the end of Rock This Town when the gang learned JT had died. Once again Cassie Steele and Daniel Clark delivered amazing performances and the episodes when Paige dropped out of Banting.

Season 7: This season had loads of potential with the Lakehurst/Degrassi merger but it fell flat. Bright spots of course were Darcy's rape storyline. I really thought Shenae Grimes was going places after she got the 90210 gig. Roping Snake into it and having her accuse him of inappropriate behavior was interesting, and I felt they could have done more with it. Manny and Jay were a cute couple, but I felt they could have done so much more with her and Emma that season. They really made alot of missteps, probably because they were trying to prep us for the new characters. Mia/Sav/Holly J/Anya got on my damn nerves and I was not here for the newbies. Spinner's cancer storyline was a bright spot, but I hated his pairing with Jane. Also hated how we never got any real follow up on how Jimmy and Ashley dealt with Ashley deleting Jimmy's verse from her demo. We also had the awkward plot of Jimmy blackmailing his father about an affair so that he would let him get stem cell surgery. The most offensive plot was the finale centering about Liberty screwing around with Emma's boyfriend Damian. Really? SMH.

Season 8 and 9: Horrible

Season 10: This reboot provided us with the only strong season of the later years. The transgendered storyline was the brightest spot of the reboot as well as the introduction of Eli.

Season 11-14: I didn't watch consistent enough to have a real opinion but Cam's suicide seems like the best material out of these 4 years. They clearly have NOTHING on the golden years.

Overall, this show was amazing and thought it took a severe dip in quality for some reason I always popped back in to check it out even though I am old as hell. It'll feel weird not seeing Degrassi on TeenNick. It was literally there since the beginning on April 1, 2002 and outlasted EVERYTHING the network has ever aired. Wonder if they will abandon original programming all together.

Andy said he wanted Caitlyn Jenner lol...: I don't believe the story about Kathy.

Paige was my everything. I'll never forget the hallway fight she and Manny got into during season 4. "Big words for someone picking up my leftovers." Bam! Manny kicks her in the ass! Cue slap from Paige and it was on! Once the old school kids were phased out I was done. RIP Degrassi.

Yaaassss I'm really about to go purchase Season 3-7 on DVD right now

Empire nominated for Program of the Year, Best New Series, and Best Drama at the TCA Awards and Taraji was nominated for Best Individual Achievement in a Drama Series.

They've changed networks like 4 times in Canada. It should've ended years ago.

I really hope they bring back some of the older characters. We don't have to have them in any in-depth story lines but I'd like to see them again. I know Drake/Aubrey Graham would NEVER. LOL!

I preferred it when it was just these chicks as the show was popping with just 6 and didnt need all that extra nonsense. Mona keeps introducing new chicks hoping something will stick bc theres no direction. It reminds me of NYC after Chrissy left. What kills me is that they all get their own talking heads as if they are main chicks

This is exactly what I was thinking! Season 1 was so good because their was focus and the show was about the women in the main opening. Now it's just so schizophrenic with all these people and you don't know who will even be on an episode week to week. It's too much.
