Degrassi The Next Generation

For some reason, a lot of the TV shows I like tend to be teenage dramas.  I don’t really know why, but I do.  There are really 3 shows that I like in the genre. Dawson’s Creek, Everwood, and Degrassi The Next Generation.

You’ve probably heard of Dawson’s Creek.  You probably haven’t heard of Everwood.  It was only on for 4 seasons.  Degrassi TNG I’m pretty sure you haven’t heard of.  It’s a Canadian show.  I started catching bits and pieces of it in the morning before work.  I kind of started getting into it.  Now I watch it on DVD from Netflix. It’s still on the air.  I think they’re just wrapping up the 6th season.  I’m just starting season 5 on DVD.

It’s kind of weird watching Canadian TV.  They are pretty much like Americans.  The main difference is the way they talk.  Movies and stuff really exaggerate how they talk.  Oot and Aboot.  The way they say sorry.  It’s different, sure, but they just ham it up to make fun of them.  It’s a really sweet show.  One of the things I like most about is that the teenagers actually look like teenagers.  You don’t have 30 year olds in high school.
