The-N/CTV TO AIR SEASON 9 IN DIFFERENT ORDERS

25 Jun

WARNING!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT NEWS

If you’re someone like me who keeps up with the show as it airs on both stations (whichever one is ahead at the time), this is going to confuse the hell out of you. The Exec posted a brief tweet that said The-N (U.S.) and CTV (Canada) will have different broadcast orders for Degrassi Season 9. For example, CTV may air Degrassi in the proper order: 901, 902, 903, 904, 905, 906…meanwhile, The-N may decide to air it in this order: 901, 902, 906, 904, 903, 905.  No word on who’s airing what, when.

The-N and CTV already air new Degrassi episodes on different dates, but they’ve both always aired the episodes in order: The-N breaks up the seasons into “mini” seasons they  run during the Fall, Spring and Summer. CTV usually just airs the first half of a season in the Fall, then airs the rest in the Spring.

NOW with the different broadcast orders coming into play, it’s going to take a little work to keep up with which episodes will be airing on your network, so you don’t think you’ve somehow “missed” an episode.

Half of Degrassi Season 9 Scripts Written

25 Jun

l-r: Alli (Melinda Shankar), Clare (Aislinn Paul) and KC (Sam Earle).

Gotta love how Stephen and Stefan are keeping us updated about what’s happening on set via Twitter. The Exec said they’ve finished the read-throughs for episodes 911 and 912. The scripts have been written, but they haven’t revealed the episode titles yet. We only know titles for the first 8 episodes:

901 – Just Can’t Get Enough Part 1
902 – Just Can’t Get Enough Part 2
903 – Shoot to Thrill
904 – Close to Me
905 – You’ll be Illin’
906 – Wanna Be Startin’ Something
907 – Beat It Part 1
908 – Beat It Part 2

The Exec also said 911 and 912 will deal with KC and Clare (as well as Allie, Holly J and new characters Fiona, Jenna and Declan).  He’s said KC has a big storyline in Season 9, so maybe this is where it all begins for him.

Are You Wearing Degrassi?

25 Jun

It had been a while since I’d checked out the Official Degrassi Store (and by a while I mean YEARS), and I was pleased today to see they’ve FINALLY added a Degrassi tee (for guys) worth wearing!!

Of course it’s for both guys and girls, I meant the tees they have excusively for girls (Spirit Squad and Old School Degrassi tee) are much cooler than the unisex ones.  The Degrassi Signature tee is lame, and as much as I love J.T., his t-shirt is lame because I could make that myself and it look just as good. 

I love how they went back to the old school Degrassi Panther logo.  I’m sure I’ll get around to ordering one of these soon, and I’m prepared for all the ridicule I’ll receive (I’m 25 btw).  If you’ve got a neat idea for a tee that isn’t in their store, sometime down the road I’ll show you how you can easily make your own Degrassi tee at home.
