Review: 18 to Life off to strong start

1 Comment

From Mike Morrison of Mike’s Bloggity Blog:

  • Review: 18 To Life
    “Right now the strongest aspect of the show are the teen’s parents. Similar to Dharma and Greg, Tom and Jessie’s parents couldn’t be more different. Tom’s are a conservative jewish family, while Jessie’s couldn’t be more left-wing. The dialogue between the four differing adults is sharp and funny. It will be interesting to see how the parents deal with each other, now that they are related.” Read more.

Interview: Stacey Farber of 18 to Life

From the TV Addict:

  • DEGRASSI’s Stacey Farber Grows Up
    “As any fan of DEGRASSI will tell you, Ellie Nash didn’t have an easy time of it. During her time walking the hallowed halls of Canada’s most infamous high school, Ellie dealt with an alcoholic mother, her own proclivity for cutting and one failed relationship after another. Perhaps wisely, Ellie never actually walked down the aisle… although tonight, her portrayer, Stacey Farber, will take that gigantic step thanks to her new role in the CBC sitcom 18 TO LIFE.” Read more.
