Three days until the most go-therest season of Degrassi ever...


Degrassi is the best show on TV. Period. Trying to argue differently is like trying to argue that Tom Cruise is straight--there's just no evidence to support it.

Here are the top 10 reasons why Degrassi is the best show ever made (and why I'm so excited for Friday's episode):

1. It goes there
2. It's Canadian
3. It's been on since 1987 and still has some of the original cast members
4. It deals with way important teenager issues--like the clap and manorexia
5. Jay and Silent Bob are huge fans (so huge, that in season 4 they're on the show playing themselves)
6. It's totally multicultural
7. All the episodes are named after 80s songs (West End Girls, Eye of the Tiger, e.g.)
8. It tackles social issues America doesn't have the balls to touch (A two-parter from season three called "Accidents Will Happen" was not aired in the US at all because it dealt candidly with abortion)
9. It's totally explosive.
10. God said so.

If you have never watched Degrassi, then you have never experienced true happiness and I pity you. If you have, get ready baby, because this season is going to be more explosive than ever!

Degrassi's new episodes start Friday, June 29th at 8pm. Go www.the-n.com for more Degrassi stuff.
