Today the cast of Degrassi is shooting Season 9 promos/elements for The-N.  I know I have a lot of disdain for The-N in general, but I’ll give them credit where it’s due in a heartbeat; they put together AMAZING Degrassi promos.  Even if the promos severely overhype an episode (which they usually do) they realize that’s the entire point of a promo…it’s supposed to suck you in…and it works. 

If you have The-N I’m sure you’ll see the promos start probably sometime in September.  If not, ACESonline will grab copies of the promos and post them on youtube when they start running.  Below is probably my favorite Degrassi promo ever created by The-N, the Spinner vs. Johnny DiMarco promo. I absolutely loved their promo campaign they used to hype up Season 7.

They’re at it again…The Exec took several tweets to talk about Degrassi’s new theme song in Season 9:

Looks like we will update the theme song, using a male lead vocal this time..

whenever we update the theme song there’s been a huge reaction that people don’t like it… till the next time we updat it lol!

But this time I actually think most people will like it! Think Elvis Costello meets Jonas Bros with a hint of retro Beach Boys-ish BG vocals

Oh, and some cast members singing…

This will be the first time Degrassi has used a male lead vocal for the opening theme.  The theme song has been updated (even if slightly) in Seasons 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.  Personally, Season 3′s theme is my favorite.
