8/17/2006 - 601- 602 TVGuide Preview; The N

 

TVGuide.com just released an article on the state of Teen TV. In it they reveal a lot more information on the main plot of Degrassi: TNG 601-602 "Here Comes Your Man." As well as some information on The N's other shows, South of Nowhere, Beyond the Break, and Whistler. 

First off as speculated 601-602 will be about Sean's return to Degrassi, and the disastrous effect it has on Peter, Emma, and Sean, and what happens will quote; "blow a few minds."

As far as the new season of South of Nowhere, returning alongside Degrassi. Spencer and Ashley deal with the morning after, and Aiden tries to figure his mess with Madison out. Later in the season we get addiction, hate crimes, outings, death, and long lost siblings.

Finally on other returning The N shows. Beyond the Break will be back for another season, and season 2 of Whistler is still "up in the air."

Read the whole story here. Here are some excerpts below:

"Davis: I guess the question most teens would want answered is when is Degrassi: The Next Generation coming back and what can be divulged about the new season?
Nollinger: Degrassi returns Sept. 29 (on The N). None of the episodes are ready for previewing yet, so I haven't seen anything. But I have learned that the sixth season opens with a two-parter called "Here Comes Your Man," which ought to blow a few minds: Bad boy Sean is back in town. I don't want to spoil it for everybody, but let's just say that's not good news for Peter and Emma — or even Sean, for that matter. "Disaster" is actually a pretty good word for how things turn out by the end of Part 2...

...Davis: What have you heard about Season 2 of South of Nowhere (The N)?
Nollinger: It's going to be a barrel of laughs — not. Spencer and Ashley wake up totally committed to each other after having finally spent the night together in the first season finale of "Degrassi, American Style" — I mean, South of Nowhere — but something's going to happen right away in "The Morning After" that makes Ashley push her new gal pal away. And Aiden wakes up with Madison and immediately starts trying to figure a way out of the mess he's gotten himself into. Down the road, addiction, hate crimes, outings, death and the arrival of a long-lost sibling are all in the mix. Face it: Life in L.A. is really, really hard...

...Davis: Is it true that The N ordered up another season of Whistler?
Nollinger: The jury's still out on that. I think it's an interesting show, and the folks at The N had high hopes for it. But the numbers were pretty disappointing. The rationale for the show was that it would attract more boys to the channel, and it did that. But girls pretty much tuned out. So we'll see. Beyond the Break, on the other hand, is definitely coming back next year. I find that show sort of tawdry and lame, but I guess more kids are interested in watching girls in bikinis than guys in snow parkas. Go figure."
