Degrassi Mini Review: Good Times

[WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS]

Dave and Bruce sit back, relax and watch (and mock) the cheesiness that is Degrassi.

 After a rash of extremely weak minis (so bad I refuse to mention their names), Degrassi bounces back with one that made me laugh my butt off.  It restores my faith in the producers’ abilities to churn out extra content that’s just as entertaining (and maybe even moreso) than the actual episodes.

Only SPINNER gets to notice Jane's boobs.

Jane and the band are having practice after school, but it keeps getting interrupted: Anya storms in mad at Sav and Jane for getting Holly J and Declan together (ruining her English project).  Chantay comes in and chats with Danny, and Declan and Holly J crash the practice too.

While Jane’s frustrated by all the distractions, Bruce sits in the background with Dave, providing mocking commentary about what’s going on.  It’s funny how he mention things about everyone in the band (and their counterparts) being nonstop drama, and one of my personal faves, noticing how Chantay’s always been a background character.

"So you want me....to lend you...my girlfriend?"

The great thing about Good Times is that each part is funnier than the last.  Parts 1, 2 and 3 are the setup for Part 4, a ridiculous exercise of Degrassi’s self awareness.  It knows it’s an overdramatic, overly cheesy show; it’s funny that Bruce vocalizes said cheesiness by listing all of the hookups on the show, while the cast just sits there soaking it all in.

The icing on the cake is when Bruce reveals in Part 4 that he’s got a thing for Jane, and thinks that since Jane is the only one who has only had one love interest on the show (Spinner), he should have a love affair with her.

If only he knew about Jane and Declan…

….OR DOES HE????? (The music = hilarious)

“GOOD TIMES” FINAL GRADE: A+

    FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!! FINALLLY!!!

    We finally get some alli, but why does it have to be with Johnny? Oh well it looks good and all Alli’s eps are good.

    I’m starting to think that Dec used Clare to make Holly J jealous and Clare finds out and snaps…cant wait.

    Yes, it’s very funny how the news was revealed, and NOBODY has bombarded The Exec with questions on Season 10, as he said we could. I just find it rather odd.

      ok ya no. anya is a piece of crap. i mean how can u seriously pick her? shes an ugly geek that deserves to get her heart broken by a hot, too-good-for-her Sav. and if you promote this clip you must of had to seen her god-awful smile. She is probably going to end up stalking sav. and if ur other favorite person was paige u need to get some help. some serious therapy. she was a phycopath that supposedly got date raped and is a baby about it.

      The Mini “Good Times” can be seen on Teennick.com If you live in Canada you can probably find it on YouTube.

    I saw the first 3 parts of this mini on youtube but cant find part 4 and i looked on teenick.com to see it but its not there either. :(

    Shannon, the NEW Mini is on TeenNick.com, but they haven’t posted the link yet cause it’s not supposed to be released yet. If you know your way around Teennick.com you can find it, cause I have already watched Pts 1,2,4 but Pt 3 isn’t working, but it would give a Major Secret away. The only thing I will tell you is that it involves a sleepover with Leia, Chantay, Holly J, and Anya.

        Okay, you’ve convinced me! Here is a WARNING for everyone. SPOILER ALLERT!!!! IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW MAJOR INFO DO NOT WATCH!!!! Also if you are going to comment on the Mini make sure you don’t post any major info about it.

        degrassilover, before i watch it and spoil something for myself, can u tell us please if its a spoiler for why can’t this be love? or just for something that hasnt been seen in the US yet by has been shown in canada?

      • Heather
        April 2, 2010 at 5:47 pm #

        I am actually extremely happy that Sav is going to break up
        with anya because then he has a chance for hotter people…
        NOT PEOPLE WITH UGLY BRACES
        ok? Because Anya shouldn’t even be on Degrassi because people
        with bad teeth that need braces should NOT BE ON TELEVISION.
        just sayin’

      • Kary
        April 2, 2010 at 6:29 pm #

        Are you high on crack? Because I don’t understand your hatred of people with braces. Half of the people on Degrassi have had braces at some point.

      • Heather
        April 2, 2010 at 8:41 pm #

        alright obviously since u created this site you have o be somewhat intelligent but your opinions are awful. Not true at all. can u count? about 5 out of like 60 characters had braces. and they looked pretty bad. i mean most of them were at least good actors but anya cant act for her life. so to hav an actress that is dropped dead ugly, with no acting skills, and a creepy stalker smile mixed with braces. so ya no anya just shouldnt be on degrassi anymore.
