I watched it (hanging head in shame) and it wasn't as bad as I feared. And their strategy not to allow reviewers to watch it paid off, according to Ad Age, anyway.
I caught you on the Radio, Dennis. Missed half of it and didn't even realize it was you until the end, but it was interesting.
As far as 90210 goes, I thought it was terrible and reminded me why I like Degrassi. Everything on 90210, every issue, was handled in a juvenile way, and everything was all hunkydory by the end of it all.
And seriously, being friends again by someone who plagiarized you? My brother had trusted a classmate on a project, who ended up having plagiarized a lot of it when having to do his part, and in the process, my brother almost got kicked out of University, and not without a lot of upset due to this classmate. Never spoke to the jerk again.
The roll-your-eyes moment for me was the plane to San Francisco dinner date. Really? Come on, now. That was just absurd, even for 90210. The problem I see is that it feels stuck in the 90's instead of really being with the times. Sure, the technology has improved, ie texting, computers, but all of it happens without a care for logic. That was passable in the 90's when the internet was just taking off, but, I think we live in a much more critical age these days, because we expect more. Not only that, but I think it should of taken a different tone than what it had. Maybe darker and more serious to go with the times.
I feel bad for Shanea Grimes who left the success of Degrassi for this, though I understand that it will open doors for her. And hopefully it will improve.
