Is Degrassi REALLY the next generation?

well, they call it the next generation becuase there was Degrassi Junior High or what they call now Degrassi Old School. It has all of the parents on that show and it comes on The-N also.  They called it the next generation from that.

Sure it can. Just not successfully. Unless they try somehow to tie the others in. Like introduce characters that were cousins, or co-workers of "Joey", or "Rachel". And even then I think it would be a stretch. I just never liked spin-offs for that very reason. They try to hard. It always feels a bit contrived.

Usually, I'd say "yes", that we were given a preview of their lives to come. But on THIS show, lately, they've all been hallucinating a lot (like Sean repeatedly seeing that drug dealer, way before he actually showed up), and imagining other things that aren't there (Esp. Christian during sex).\n\nI say that the whole future "vision" was just a surreal bad dream, brough on by their surreal lives and probably occurred mostly in Sean's mind. He hallucinates the most (remember the talking head during his recertification...or was that Christian? Gaa! I can't take it!).\n\nI love this show, but they are REALLY tapped!

I don't think so.\n\nThey just grew up a bit (like we all do).

No, I don't think so.  There are some friendships developing, which is to be expected.  But as far as popularity, no.

Surprise.  Another cry of racism on television.  Has five seconds passed since the last one?\n\nThe real answer is --- nobody probably ever woke up and went "oh, my God --- we should have had three Asians on our show instead of just two!"  \n\nSorry... this just sticks in my craw every time someone brings it up.\n\nFRIENDS had several minority characters circulated through the supporting cast over the many years it ran.  You could just as well ask why there weren't more characters in wheelchairs...  more characters who like hats... more characters with names beginning with vowels.  It's incidental.\n\nFRIENDS was largely about relationships.  Two or three interracial relationships over the span of a decade in six characters' lives in NYC is more than you might find in a real sampling of six random New Yorkers, so I read those stats as appropriate, maybe even progressive.\n\nAs for the comment above about how everyone wanted Ross to go back to Rachel when he was with the Asian gal, everyone would have wanted him to go back to her no matter who he was dating.\n\nInstead of obsessing over a (for all intensive purposes) "Dead" show, why not tune in to show support for current shows with more racially diverse casts?  America votes with its remotes, after all.

It's hard for me to pick between The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine as the one favorite.  TNG really hit its stride starting in its third season and had some absolutely magnificent episodes in seasons 4 and 5 (such as "In Theory," "Darmok," "Cause and Effect," and "The Inner Light," just to name a few).  DS9 was darker and more spiritual, exploring the Bajoran civilization as well as the Gamma Quadrant with subtlety and grace.  It also had some great individual episodes, especially "Far Beyond the Stars."  In my opinion, TNG at its best was better than DS9 at its best, but over the course of its entire seven seasons DS9 was better than TNG over the course of its entire seven seasons.  So I guess I'd have to call it a tie between TNG and DS9.

Degrassi has thus far dealt with very mature topics, such as homosexuality, rape, various sex-related subjects, suicide, and even a school shooting.\n\nYou can watch that show, and know that things just like that happen at your school everyday... \nOne tree hill and The gilmore Girls are how teens deal with each other, Degrassi is how teens deal with everything else

THESE ARE THE SERIES I LIKE 7TH HEAVEN , CHARMED, SUPERNATURAL, GILMORE GIRLS AND SMALLVILLE AND DEGRASSI THE NEXT GENERATION.. I THINK ONE OF THOSE WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE ESPECIALLY SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL OR CHARMED WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE HOPE THIS HELPPED...

From what I have heard it isn't very likely that there will be another movie from The Next Generation Crew. There are currently talks about doing a Voyager movie, but it may be hard to fit into the overall Voyager timeline. \n\nOne possibility is to do a movie with the current Enterprise series, but that will only take place after the series has been completed. So it may be awhile before we have any other Star Trek movies.

No, it's true pal. Latinos will be the majority followed by whites, then blacks. But only for about a generation. Then the blacks will pass us up. \nNo worries. I'm moving to Canada anyway. I love my country. Fought for it and put my life on the line SEVERAL times for it. But it's too corrupt and it's not going to get any better. Love my country, hate my politicians.

nope, the show ended after gt.  the last series that had anything to do with the guy that created the show was Z, but i forgot his name.  GT was more like a bunch of fans essentially making new episodes.  they had to buy the rights or sometihng from the creator to animate GT.

Perhaps this will one day be answered!  If SG-1's tendency to re-visit plots, places, and people from previous episodes is anything to go by (and it should be, given that the two shows share writers, producers, directors, etc.) then they may come back to it again at a later date.
