Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving

[puszysty]

Degrassi: The Next Generation My college roommate got me hooked on this one. I thought I wouldn't like it because it's a show about teenagers, for teenagers. But turns out it is 10 times better than anything on Nickelodeon or Disney channel. They aren't afraid to go there on all sorts of issues. (Probably because it's made in Canada and they don't censor as much as we do here.) Real issues, things real teenagers actually deal with! People get bad grades, STDs, families aren't always happy, there's even a school shooting in season 4. Probably the most realistic show about teens on television.
(Bonus awesome points: the shows creators name every episode after an 80's song).

Me tooo! I loved Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High and was so prepared to hate this incarnation. Loved it.P:-) Sad when Emma finally graduated. Seems like yesterday when 14-year-old Spike found out she was pregnant with Emma. Goodness.
