«I love degrassi»
When I was entering 8th grade we got more channels because we wanted all the channels we had so I got the n and it had some of my favorite shows on their which were on Nickelodeon. Then I heard of Degrassi and the first episode I watched was Relax in Season 2 and I thought it was great so then I watched more and more and the first season I followed with new episodes was Season 8 and I loved the new cast because after seven seasons it's time to move on to a new cast and get rid of the old one. The Season 9 box set is coming out on July 20 and I can't wait to add it to my collection of the first eight seasons and then their having in September Season 10 and I can't wait for that my favorite season of Degrassi is Season 7 because it raps up the final story between the Manny,Emma,Liberty and Toby storyline and they all graduate and move on but in Season 8 Manny,Emma,and Liberty are still together but then after the episode in Season 8 Touch Of Grey. Liberty doesn't return which was weird because Emma said that Liberty joined a sorority but she never did. They did rap up Manny's story when she goes to Hollywood and I also heard that Emma and Manny are in the newest Degrassi movie. I just love this show if your a fan of Drama this will be one of the most intense drama's you'll ever see from season 1 to present. I will always love this show. I bet they'll go up to Season 12. This show will always have more reasons to continue writing and I hope it will be like that.

«Weak Season. Good DVD.»
The Season:
This season on Degrassi it's out with the old and in with the new. As this season introduces many new characters and drops many of The Next Generation Originals besides a select few (Emma, Manny, Liberty and Spinner). I feel that was one of the problems with this season, I felt there wasn't enough closure with the originals who were dropped, although some of them do appear in the "Degrassi Goes Hollywood Movie", but I'll get to that later. As I mentioned earlier Season 8 introduces many new characters this season and brings back the Lakehurst kids (Holly J, Anya, Jane, Sav, Johnny and Bruce) who were all introduced in Season 7 (besides Johnny, who was introduced in Season 6). I feel that is another problem with this season, WAY to many characters! Some of whom hardly get any character development at all (Leia, Blue, Bruce). Many of the plots this season were a real bore, and a lot of it was relationship drama. I did like a handful of episodes this season though (Didn't We Almost Have It All, Bad Medicine, Jane Says (A-Plot Only), Heart Of Glass, Danger Zone). But in my opinion this season was kind of like somebody threw up, as in I thought it was a mess. From randomly introducing plots in an episode then randomly dropping them, and how everything was wrapped up within an episode, and way to many new characters while they also try to pay attention to old ones. Overall I give Season 8: *** Stars or a C. Now lets move onto the DVD.
The DVD:
Now while I overall didn't like this season of Degrassi, I thought the DVD was great! Echo Bridge Entertainment is really good with putting good extras on their Degrassi DVD's. A lot of the Funamation releases had very boring extras like the Degrassi Flipbook and Trailers for anime shows and old episodes of Degrassi. But on the Echo Bridge releases they put the online mini's, on the set material, and deleted scenes from the season and the movie. Much more well balanced for an extra features disc, in my opinion anyway. The Season 8 DVD set also comes with the 4-part finale turned movie "Degrassi Goes Hollywood", in widescreen. All of the episodes, features and the movie seem to be in good quality when I watch them on my TV, better quality then the Season 7 DVD which seemed very grainy in quality when watching it. So overall I would give the DVD: ***** or an A. Now here's my mini review of the "Degrassi Goes Hollywood Movie".
Paradise City: Degrassi Goes Hollywood Movie:
"Paradise City" or "Degrassi Goes Hollywood" is the 4-part Season 8 finale turned into a 90 minute feature-length film. This is the first ever Degrassi: The Next Generation Movie and it's not that bad. The film brings back some characters who were absent for all of Season 8 (Paige, Marco, Ellie and Craig). One of the things I kept wondering throughout the movie is how Paige ended up in Hollywood working for the Heidi Montag parody, Hailey Montel. It just seemed so random, as the last time we saw Paige she was working for Andrea and was dating Griffin. Also she had an HIV plot that was never wrapped up (Season 7). I just don't like how it showed her in Hollywood with no explanation whatsoever. Paige's part of the plot also felt very rushed to me, and it seemed like she regressed to her Season 1-self. And it sucks because Paige is my favorite character and to see her regressed within 90 minutes was lame. Manny's part of the plot also seemed rushed and she was also randomly dating her drama professer, that was completely out of nowhere. The greatest part of the movie is surprisingly Ellie's part. I was very surprised when I enjoyed Ellie's plot the most, I thought her plot was going to be so boring. But it was actually good as they brought back a very old plot from Season 3 with her dad returning from the war with PTSD. Very good to see Ellie be pretty much all wrapped up. But as for the overall movie it was just okay. I give Paradise City: Degrassi Goes Hollywood: **** Stars or a B.
Okay man that was a long review, thanks to anyone who read all of it and remember "You can make it through!" Haha.
