In the news: Degrassi creator interview

Damian Holbrook of TV Guide interviews Linda Schuyler of Degrassi (the details refer to the American airing of the show):

  • Preview! Degrassi: The Next Generation Makes a Bold Move
    “Now, Degrassi as a series is still about first-time experiences and we were intrigued by the idea of a young person who has always been the alpha dog in high school and what happens when they get to [college] and you don’t have that throne anymore.”

In the news: CTV’s fall schedule

Lee-Anne Goodman of the Canadian Press points out the lack of new Canadian shows:

  • CTV congratulates itself for U.S. shows it’s picked up for fall in glitzy launch
    “The network’s Canadian shows, in fact, weren’t highlighted till midway through the launch, when Brent Butt took to the stage to promote the upcoming season of the beloved hit sitcom, “Corner Gas.” “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” “Whistler” and “Robson Arms” join “Corner Gas” on the slate of returning Canadian shows, but there were no new ones on the schedule.”

Marise Strauss of Playback notes a conspicuous absence:

  • CTV drums up drama
    “Absent from the CTV schedule, however, is the homegrown comedy Jeff Ltd., which aired on Saturdays.”

In the news: Degrassi ratings

Marise Strauss of Playback reports on ratings:

  • Degrassi holds its own
    “Degrassi: The Next Generation ended its sixth season on Monday, drawing a respectable 520,000 viewers to its finale at 9:30 p.m. ET on CTV despite airing opposite CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada, with 1.9 million, and Global’s 24, which grabbed over 1.2 million. The teen drama managed a season-to-date average of 522,000.”
