Degrassi: The Next Generation, Season 5 [DVD]

Haven't seen season 5 yet since I don't have "The N" on my cable package and have to wait for all things Degrassi to hit DVD. However, if it's even half as good as seasons 1 through 4, it's gonna be a 6+. This has been, without a doubt as far as I'm concerned, THE BEST and most realistic television series on the air EVER! It all started with "Degrassi Jr. High" in the mid 80's, turned into "Degrassi High" after that, and then took a 13 year hiatus between the time the character "Spike" had her baby and her daughter, Emma, became a 6th grader. I sent my 13 year old niece all of the original & next generation DVD's and apparently she has become the most popular girl in school because not only does she have the "coolist uncle" around, but they (the other kids) are actually learning from this show! Real world, Real life, Real situations.

In this season, a lot of more stuff happens. Emma deals with Anorexia, Paige has troubles with her sexuality with Alex. Spiner is allowed to come back to school and makes a new friend Darcy, Manning acting career is ruined and Peter does something bad to ruin her reputation, Jimmy tries to get back into basketball, Elie becomes the new drummer for downtown sasquatch and Later Elie gets closer to Jimmy, Mr. Simpson cheats on his wife Spike. Jay and Silent Bob make two more apperancesJ.T gets Liberty pregant and gets a job to support them, Later J.T even overdoses on prescription medicene. Jay and Alex gets starring credit, so does newcomer Peter and Mrs. Hatzilakos. Alex, Elie, Marco, Paige, Hazel and Craig graduate at the end of the season and Ashley returns at the end of the season

I love the cheesy escapism of this Canadian teen soap, in which every episode is A Very Special Episode. Watch Manny pursue acting, Emma struggle with anorexia, Liberty and J.T. deal with possible parenthood, Craig make it big in music, Spinner try to redeem himself, Jimmy struggle with his identity post-parapalegia, Paige explore a different aspect of her sexuality, and Marco come out to his Dad. And more. The stories seem a little better fleshed out this season, perhaps because of the back work done in season 4. In addition, the writing seems snappier and funnier, but I could have just been tired from being up all night with the baby;) Pure escapist fun. A guilty pleasure for those of us far past our high school days.

I LOVE THIS SERIES! I have watched and re watched this series about 5 times and i will do it again! it is so amazing and to see all the characters grow up to who they are today. I LOVE THE OLD CHARACTERS, but not so much the new ones. PACKAGING WAS VERY GOOD AND COMPLETE!

I have never really watched Degrassi when it first aired, until one day I watched it at a relatives house, and since then I fell in love with it. So I decided to catch up with all the things that's been going on and I'm getting to know all who is who by purchasing from Amazon and I'm just enjoying all my Degrassi dvds and I'm still purchasing them until I get them all.

gives you an outlook of all the things that actually happen now a days at school from bullying, peer pressure, teen pregnancy, cheating, sexual orientation and even death. its really pushy and everyone likes a show that actually has you going wanting for more

I LOVE Degrassi! And I finally had an opportunity to finish my collection of whats on DVD.

I loved season 5, it was one of my favorite seasons. I just loved Manny, Spinner, the beginning of Palex, and sadly enough the end of Jimmy and Hazel. Its a good buy and reminds you of how good degrassi used to be before they start being all about shock value.

A truly fantastic series that I have watched as a kid!Great lessons to be learned for when you have your own children and the trials they can face.

Awesome shape
