AMS, I am such a dork, I got such a grin on my face when I read that. :lol: It's cheesy but please stick with it! My two loves, Lucy and Caitlin. :wub: You'll see a couple of familiar faces. You have to watch all five seasons, Jr. and Sr. high, they go by like *that*! TNG got me hooked, but I honestly think it was watching the original series that cemented my love of the franchise.

:lol:

One thing I love about the whole franchise is how they're never afraid of to go head first into bringing up old stuff. They don't overdo it in a contrived way, but it comes up when it should. Even people who only know TNG and never even heard of the original series can sing that song for you hahaha

I'm gonna start watching tonight. The two shows make a combined total of 70 episodes, so that won't take me long to get through at all. I peeked at the very beginning of the first episode and this warm feeling just came over me when I saw all the little 80s kids running up the school's front steps. Some things never change.

Looks like I won't have to wait, found the episode posted on degrassi-junkie.net

I am not done watching, but I must say that Spinner and Emma have lots of chemistry.

I swooned when they mentioned that Science Fair project Spinner helped Emma with all that time ago. :wub:

Ooh, I can't watch that fuzzy video lol The beginning looks interesting, though. GOOD GOD (Allah?), that Sav is sexy as hell in that little bit where Danny and them get him out of class. And Jane! Jane! She's gorgeous!

Glad to see Cassie and Sarah's names in the credits, as well as the Stepto.

None of the links work now, I am guessing the execs got wind of it and took it down.

Well I got to see them, and all I can tell you is that it is an excellent start to the season. They no longer have "The Next Generation" in the title, it is simply Degrassi. They have also done away with the freeze frame ending shots. It definitely resembles a soap.

It was probably time to drop "TNG" though I'm a little uneasy with this show getting the "mantle" if you will, I guess it's only fair as it's the longest running series in the franchise. I'm still hungry for more late thirties/early forties drama with my Caitlin, Lucy, et al, though I think Pat Mastroiannininni (sp?? Joey Jeremiah) said he was done.

That's great to hear! I'm glad that the show's off to a good start. Okay, I just went to TeenNick and I feel like such a little girl, quizzes like, "Who's Your Ultimate Summer Boyfriend?", "Which Degrassi Guy Should You Date?" :lol: There's also a little blurb that say's that Holly J. auditioned for the roles of Emma and Liberty ( :blink: I guess she wasn't racially specific in the casting call).

They currently have 19 full episodes online and stupid me should have been on this weeks ago because they're inevitably going to get bumped with the new season rolling.

    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point. 
    • At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.
    • I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space.
