Degrassi TNG wasn't bad the first couple of seasons. It had good storylines with Craig and abuse, Sean, Marco coming out, Jimmy getting shot and crippled. It had good continuity with Spike/Snake and Joey too. It started getting stupid with the Liberty being pregnant storyline and J.T. selling drugs and getting murdered. Seems so out of character for those two honestly. Liberty was like the Lucy of TNG. J.T. was sorta like Joey but not as cool. You couldn't see it. Maybe Spinner, Jimmy, Sean
All of the show was shot on location, in real settings, not on sound stages. Made it feel authentic. Must of have been a major bitch to film though so I can see why the same technique wasnt duplicated.
I fucking hate the "new" Degrassi. I liked maybe the first 5 seasons. They should have just stopped the show instead of bringing in new characters and turning it into a fucking soap opera.
Yep, it was big. There was a DH: School's Out TV movie that came right after DH which you can find on youtube by searching "DH SO 1/8". I agree, the next generation didn't have the magic that the old one's had.
