Canadian Melodrama - Is there a better pastime?

BEST PURCHASE EVER!!!!!!!!

A few months ago, I made the best buy ever. What better way than to wile away my sorrows than a piece of 80s Canadian kids soap opera gold?

Seriously, how can you go past Joey Jeremiah and The Zit Remedy "Everybody wants something...they'll never give up...." and how about Wheels? Positively the most unattractive kid on earth - he had it all. Giant square glasses, bad skin, he wore skinny jeans and let's not forget the fabulous mullet! And how can you forget 'All The Way with Stephanie Kaye!'?

Pure and utter genius of children's television! Cos how can you criticise a show that had a 13 year old punk teenage mum, or a kid who tells a girl he likes that her eyes are like 'pimming swools', or girls that wear dresses with the belt or hot pink leggings or shave the top of their head but not the back (ie Liz the animal rights activist)? And a show in which the 'hero' is a cocky little hobbit (he he he...cocky!) chasing after a girl who looked exactly like my brother in the first few seasons? You just can't. It's addictive.

If anybody would like to partake in some filmic genius at some point, be sure to give me a call and me and the Degrassi Gang will be waiting! But for now, some lyrical poetry....

Wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely
Gee, I've gotta go to school
I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take it
I wonder what I'm gonna do.
But then I look around and see that someone is smiling right at me
Wait! Someone's talking to me,
Hey, I've got a new friend.
Everybody can succeed, all you need is to believe
Let's be honest with yourself.
Forget your fears and doubts (.....note: pronounced dotes! he he)
Come on give us a try at Degrassi Junior High!
