I'm wondering, now in their newest season since some of the characters are in college, if their focus will change much (really pushing issues that aren't usually discussed on tv), or if they'll stick with the issues they have been working with.

Now, in my twenties, they're less so, so it doesn't hold the same appeal for me, although I still think it was fantastically honest, and I think its cheesiness was often the result of 'real' dialogue. I mean, how trite and over-anaylitical was the dialogue from Dawson's Creek, in an attempt to sound sophisticated and witty? They say the most obvious, unsophisticated things on Degrassi, but I think that's largely what teenagers WOULD say.

I only started to watch it when Bitch Magazine would mention it over and over and it fills my need for a soap operish show. The seasons have been released on DVD, so if you like NetFlix, you can probably get it off of that if you're ever interested. I just really wish it or a show equivalent to it were more accessible and not on cable. Especially since it's on the N: I only have the N because of a special cable deal, and when that runs out, I don't think I'll still be able to afford it. Yes, it can be pretty cheesy.

By the time I realised TGN was playing, I was well into my twenties, and it wasn't so much :p Plus, it's broadcast all over the place so I have no idea when it's on :( When I started watching, I was about ten and it was the most awesomely confrontational thing I’d ever seen.

They're highly addictive and tackles much of the same issues as the original series. However, it's interesting to note that there was an incident where the N (the station it's broadcasted on in the states) wouldn't air the episode about abortion, but they have so since.
