Even though Season 8 has been completely forgettable, seeing this cover art makes me excited for the DVD.  For me, the DVD is kinda like the “second chance.”  I didn’t like Seasons 5 and 6 all that much until I went back and re-watched them on DVD.  Season 7′s DVD confirmed that the season was a borefest after the sixth episode (Death or Glory).

But even then, outside of the episodes themselves the Season 7 DVD is the best dvd since Season 2 in the “extras” department.  That’s mainly because they FINALLY included the Degrassi Minis.  Season 8′s extras look to be great as well…hopefully they will include more than one episode with commentary.

This also makes it official that the Season 8 DVD will indeed be released on September 1st.  The only thing I dislike about this poster is it’s somewhat misleading.  The “Starring” section names Miriam and Cassie, but they’re barely in this season compared to other stars.  Lauren, Stacey and Jake, as well as all of the “Guest Stars” only appear in the Degrassi Goes Hollywood movie…WHICH IS AT THE END OF THE SEASON.  I also find if funny that they’re treating the Degrassi movie as a BONUS…it would be added to the DVD regardless because it’s technically part of the season’s episode count (819-822). Oh well…I’m still stoked!
