Collegekid2008

One of the best of the early episodes.

This episode pits newly related step-siblings Toby and Ashley against each other in the election for Degrassi Community School president. Toby as the campaign manager for his best friend J.T. and Ashley running for herself.

By the end of the episode Toby and Ashley are beginning to connect with each other as well as beginning to understand that they don't need to dislike each, and that they should get along if they want to survive middle school.

This is coming from an American who first saw these shows on DVD.

Having not seen the original series yet when I began watching these episodes it was a bit too nostalgic for me at the beginning with the flashbacks to the original and what not; but at the same time it made it that much better because we were not being introduced to the characters anew just updated on their lives. It was like trying on an old glove after a few years.

The sub-plot of the episode and the beginning of the series was also well done with the internet dating and things.

The cast and crew were also very well chosen and performed their roles quite well.

This is coming from an American that has only seen these shows in the DVD format.

This is just the second part of the first episode.
