    Best and Worst of Degrassi

    in Degrassi [V]

    · Edited by love21

    As far as least favorite characters go I think mine would be...

    Imogen- I go back and forth with her. Sometimes she's okay and I like seeing her on the screen, but then there's time where they amp up the childishness in the character and she's annoying. Overall if I had to pick one of last years seniors to stay she wouldn't have been my choice, but she hasn't been too terrible this year. I would have let her have her endgame with Fiona.

     

    Jimmy- My least favorite of the original bunch, mainly because of what his character became after the shooting. I hated how he treated Hazel and in some ways Ashley during their breakups. He wasn't a complete jerk and I like some aspects of his character but I feel like he became more of one in the later seasons. His plots were kind of a mix. Some were good (i.e. Can't Hardly Wait) while others were boring (i.e. Broken Wings). Either way I wasn't too sad that he wasn't focused on post graduation.

     

    Mia- Liked her in season 7 when they did stories focusing on her baby daddy issues with Lucas. I mainly disliked the direction the character went in in season 8 and 9. Randomly paired with Peter, very little responsibility in raising her daughter, became a model out of the blue, etc.

     

    Part of me wants to put Clare but I don't know. There's a lot of good times with the character and I will probably miss her once she's finally gone, but I also remember in season 11 when she was on my nerves so badly and recently she's been annoying about her Drew drama.

    I liked Adam somewhat but he wouldn't be on my top 10 favorites list either. The only storylines of his that really appealed to me are the transgender related ones like My Body Is A Cage and Cry Me A River. He didn't do enough interesting things otherwise, but I was starting to become interested in his character again with the Becky romance until they killed him off. One thing I liked about his character though is he kind of mingled with everybody. Best friends with Eclare, brother to Drew, good friends with Dave, had that one plot with Maya's group etc.

     

    I really liked Eli. Had he left at the season 12 graduation I would have thought highly of him at the end of his run. What they've done with him this season doesn't erase what I liked about season 10-12, but they're making it easier not to miss him once his time on the show is up.

    Natasha "Natalie" Green: Jewish, Adopted and Sexually Liberated

    I remember that one. It's been a while since I saw it. Natalie had a lot of good heavy issue type episodes. My favorites are the one where she almost gets raped on the way home from the costume party, the one where her dad dies, and the one where she had sex for the first time.

     

    I rewatched one of her episodes the other day, the one where she runs for mayor and Blair dresses up in a kangaroo outfit and gives her details anonymously. That was a kind of weird one that I had zero memory of from back in the day.

    Dorothy "Tootie" Ramsey: She Used to Wear Roller Skates

    in The Facts Of Life [V]

    I like Tootie. I think I probably liked her character best in the later seasons when she matured a bit and wasn't as hysterical. Around season 3-5'ish she was pretty annoying at times. Maybe even season 6. In "Working It Out" especially I think she was pretty annoying when Mrs. Garrett was trying to get through to Blair and Tootie was in her face whining about how Mrs. Garrett gives Blair more freedom.

     

    I also liked how Jeff stayed in the picture for 4 seasons since the other girls pretty much had a rotating door of boyfriends. All of them had at least one steady boyfriend but I liked how we got to see Jeff a lot. I was happy they got engaged in the final season and it probably would have been better to marry them off instead of Jo/Rick.

    Before the Retooling: Nancy, Molly, Cindy, Sue Ann, Mr. Bradley and Miss Mahoney

    I love both versions of the show but I think they made the right decision. One because of Jo, and two because narrowing it down allowed them to keep the show on longer and focus on the same characters. I can't imagine the girls plus Sue Ann, Nancy, Molly, Cindy all living together in one spot after their Eastland days are over like they got to do with the smaller group of girls. They probably would have had to let people go once they graduated and brought new faces in. 

     

    I'm glad we got to see the other girls as extras every now and then. Sue Ann was one of my favorites in the beginning along with Natalie. In fact when Nick At Nite ran this show one of the things that drew me in to watch it was they'd always put Natalie's "happy magic marker" quote in the promo.

    Marco with depression would have been an interesting storyline. I also felt like after J.T.'s death they missed a perfect opportunity to give Toby a meaty storyline. His best friend died and then he lost his other closest friend on the show Rick two seasons earlier. I liked that they addressed Toby struggling and coming to terms in the season 7 premiere though.

    Favorite Episodes: You Take The Good

    in The Facts Of Life [V]

    · Edited by love21

    I love so many episodes. I pretty much love every episode that isn't a spinoff attempt. Some of my all time favorites are:

    Season 6 "Working It Out"- Everyone worries about Blair's excessive dating after she broke up with Cliff.

    Season 3 "Fear Strikes Back"- Natalie gets attacked on her way home from a costume party.

    Season 5 "A Death In The Family"- The one where Natalie's father dies.

    Edna Garrett: Our Moral Compass

    Edna Garrett has served many roles over the course of her show; from the live-in supervisor, to school dietician, to managing two shops. Most importantly she was the girls role model, and was always there for the girls to turn to when they needed advice. Unfortunately she left us too soon to get married and join the Peace Corps.

    Talk about all things Edna Garrett here. Favorite moments with the girls, favorite moments in general, least favorite Mrs. Garrett moments etc.
