Degrassi Goes Hollywood

Well I was actually very pleased with Degrassi Goes Hollywood. The hype was not all for nothing. It was a very good movie. The first half hour was kind of boring and I was thinking "it better get better." But it did. The story started developing and getting very interesting. Well I do not need to say why it is good, it speaks for itself. I stayed up late watching it taped because I was out, and as of this writing it is almost 11:30 CDT so I better get to sleep.

Thoughts on Degrassi Goes Hollywood

Last summer I watched Degrassi: The Next Generation a few times and never really got into it. So I did not initially plan to watch Degrassi Goes Hollywood. However, the commercials have been shoved down my throat so many times that I eventually decided I am watching it. For the past couple of weeks I have been watching the Degrassi reruns to brush up so I can kind of have some idea what is going on when I watch the movie.

Well today they are advertising "tomorrow the wait is finally over." Well this is not the movie I have been waiting months for. iFight Shelby Marx was the movie I waited months for and that has been over and done with for five days. Yet they have been pushing Degrassi Goes Hollywood longer and more aggressively than they ever pushed iFight Shelby Marx. Is the former suppose to be bigger than the the latter? Is the latter merely a warm up for the former, just as all those great episodes leading up to iFight Shelby Marx were great warm ups for it? That makes no sense given that Degrassi only airs on The N and not the parent channel. Yes I know they are two completely different genres of show, but they have the same fan base I would venture to say. The movies were advertised on each other's shows and they are both teenage shows. Bottom line, why are they airing the Degrassi movie less than a week after the iCarly movie and giving it more hype.

Despite this lack of logic, I am feeling optimistic about the movie. I do not expect it to be awesome, but in watching the reruns I am starting to become a fan of Cassie Steele. She is very talented in both acting and singing. She delivers "Life is a Show" very well. Anyway, I will be taping the show as I am always out on Friday nights. So I will watch it either late Friday night or early Saturday. There is also a remote I will be headed out of town on Saturday, and if that is the case I will take the tape with me and watch it at my grandparents place.

iFight Shelby Marx Review

Well "iFight Shelby Marx" was the best episode ever, but to be honest it was not as good as it was it was hyped up to be. Miranda and Victoria made a deadly combination, along with Jennette and everyone else. And Wendy was included in this one, which never goes unnoticed by me. The subplot with Spencer's allergy problem was okay but unnecessary. Instead of it, they could have added more substance to the main plot to make it even better. But all in all it was awesome.

I was wondering if they would advertise Victoria's new show during the movie, but I know that it is not planed to start until 2010. But they did advertise a new game show. I am not aware of any game shows currently airing on Nickelodeon or that have aired on Nickelodeon in the past few years, but I have memories of some good game shows they had back in the 90s like "Nick Arcade" and "Legends of the Hidden Temple."

So where do we go from here? Was this the peak of iCarly or is it only going to get better? I look forward to Victoria's new show (if the Lord tarries), and I expect to like it better than iCarly because it's Victoria. I am a bigger fan of her than Miranda, despite being a very big Miranda fan. As I said in my Testing True review, I think True Jackson, VP will soon be sandwiched between iCarly and Victoria's new show. But Nick must think that the show has a future because they have come out with a real life Mad Style line of clothes based on the show. I think they should follow suit with iCarly and Zoey 101. How about coming out with real life Blix drinks. Or--not a serious--start a real Pacific Coast Academy. I am a teacher and I could take a job there.

Well between now and the premier of Victoria's show, we have more iCarly episodes to enjoy.
