You've got Degrassi and Rosco at 8 - The N Has Got It.

The N is starting up it's summer schedule this week, with new episodes of many shows, including "Degrassi - The Next Generation." Nearly everyone who knows us has heard us sing the praises of this cheesy little TV show as being the new "My So Called Life," the holy grail of Teen Dramas. Ironically, The N has also started running My So Called Life, you can compare and contrast the two.

They're running "every episode ever" all week, with season four starting this friday at 8, 10, and 12.

Unfortunately most of America won't get to see the show as it's running on Canadian TV and exclusively on The N here in the states which is generally only included in Digital Cable lineups. Known as "Noggin'" during the day, The N (the-n.com) is a new breed of cable station, pulling in a highly specialized programming schedule to appeal to a very tight demographic. Amazingly, they have yet to (and hopefully never will) leverage that marketing pull, choosing instead to only show station-branding commercials and fun little in-betweeners. We originally started watching for the Daria reruns, and got pulled in by their other shows.

If you're not up to date on the show and have some time to kill, watch the marathon this week, and then tune in for the new episode. Call me a dork, but I've been waiting all winter! Bring it on!
