Echo Bridge Entertaiment has announced July 20th as the DVD release date for Degrassi Season 9. That’s a Tuesday, and it puts it right during the beginning of Degrassi Season 10’s first week of episodes.
Of course the DVD will have all of the usual stuff: bloopers, deleted scenes and minis. Ever since Echo Bride took over distribution of the dvds I haven’t had a reason to complain about the extras…they’ve been plenty and great. I expect the same from Season 9.
They also have a description for the Degrassi Takes Manhattan movie:
Best friends and Degrassi grads Holly J and Jane head to NYC filled with hopes and dreams—Jane’s to front an indie band—Holly J’s to shine as a TVM intern in Times Square with Declan at her side. But along the way, they’ll have to deal with unexpected love and Fiona’s insecurities. Pool parties, Park Avenue, a race home to break up an unlikely wedding. Degrassi Takes Manhattan and lives change forever!

One thing I’m wondering is what the price of this DVD will be. I remember back when Degrassi boxsets were in the $40-50 price range. Then with Season 7 and 8’s boxsets they dropped down to about $30. And for the past several months the prices of Seasons 7 and 8 have been slashed 50% or more. Out of any store selling them, Best Buy has the cheapest price anywhere: they’re $9.99 each.

I’m kind of disappointed with who’s on the cover…
The people I believe deserve a spot on the front (for being heavily focused on in season 9) are:
Peter, Alli, Holly J, Riley, Clare, Declan, KC, Jane(she’s not really in the season, but she DOES have a large role in the movie)
Sorry Spinner and Sav.

There really isn’t a difference but personally I would much rather have the box set over just a skinny little DVD case! If I got the skinny DVD case I wouldn’t feel complete.

I much prefer the covers of the DVD sets from seasons 1-6. These are just so MS Paint. What’s the background supposed to be, anyway? And those quotes are super tacky.
I also want to know WHERE these elusive season 9 promo shots are! TeenNick used to have those huge season flipbooks full of promo photos on their Degrassi character pages but there’s been nothing, this season. Kary, might you have a link to them, somewhere?

Uh-uh. Something must have changed, because my boxed sets for Seasons 2 and 6 both have 4 discs in 4 seperate cases. Disc 4 is always the extras. Except for Season 1, which only had 3 disks, in which case Disc 3 had the extras, and the episodes were all on Disks 1 and 2.

Is it me or is this season kinda boring?
Like idk, i enjoy it somewhat and it was better than season 8. But i still dont think it was that good. I mean we got Holly/ Declan overkill. Nobody really had a plot to themselves, everything was kinda shared with a couple. Well except for riley. I love the new additions, but i feel like we barely seen them. All Jenna did was act like a ho, fiona barely did anything. Declan did tooooo much, but dave was evenly balanced. Idk when i like think in general, i kinda think this season is a disappointment. like there were really only a couple good episodes, everything else was mediocre.
I’m still annoyed at how they did the whole Jane and Declan hooking up thing and them acting like it never happened. That still kinda annoys me just because i think they should have been hooking up for more than one episode. Ash/Craige/Manny lasted at least 3-4 episodes. With this everything happened within like 2 episodes and then Declan declares his love for Holly J. The Alli sexting should have lasted like 3 eps. Shoot to thrill should have been a b plot. then there should had been another when Jonny sent it to bruce and then finished with You Be Illin. All the characters who were worth watching Season 8, were downgraded this season. Alli, HJ, and Peter barely got any good storylines, except Alli. We all know peter should have relapse something like that shoudl have lasted longer.
Sorry for the rant but i just had to say that…Degrassi is starting to let me down slowly.

Jane tries to stop an unexpected wedding? There has been a lot of speculation about Spinner and Emma, which scares me. Spinner has done a lot of stupid things over the years, but hooking up with Emma would be the worst. Who would actually want to spend the rest of their life with somebody as heinous as Emma?

Yeah I thought at first it would be Manny and Jay’s wedding. Then I wondered who Emma would marry. But if Jane is breaking up the wedding I’d imagine it being Spinner’s.
So I too am wondering if it is a wedding between Spinner and Emma.
At first I thought the wedding would be in NY and that way it would be like one of the Degrassi kids trying to stay in the country or something. But they make it sound like it’s going to be taking place back in Canada.

Is Degrassi Season 9 going to be a box like a thick box like the rest of the other dvd’s or is it going to be a slim DVD case? Because they had slim DVD’s for Season 7 and Season 8 that came in a packaged deal. I am afraid that they will only sell slim ones because i like having the boxed set.
One more question:
In your picture who is that with Ellie? It looks like bronco from Degrassi High and I was like that can’t be him, but that looks a lot like him so I was just wondering.
Thanks for the help!
