I can't really criticise them in the context of a PG mailing list, because they're in a totally different genre and different rules apply to their creative merits. >The US's next-door neighbours have a pretty good track record -- I'd say >The Kids of Degrassi Street and Degrassi Junior High are almost up there with >Press Gang for brilliance, but before you start flaming me, I strongly >emphasise the 'almost', but I'd say they're at least in the same league... I always *loathed* the Degrassi shows. I remember hating it every time they took Doctor Who off air and replaced it with these whining, pathetic kids. (How I remember it, anyway.
