Student Bodies

for a half-hour show that deals with teens in and at school, this one actually has humor and truth to it... unlike saved by the bell and all the other useless 30 min teen 'fashion' shows that are produced and re-produced in the US, this one (made in Canada) is actually interesting without having that sick candy taste of a feeling... the truth and humor are helped by actual decent acting, which is pretty rare of tv shows, let alone 30 min ones that deal with teens... im also glad to say it's filmed in canada, my only problem with it is, it seems that the show is set somewhere in the US, and that takes away from an accomplishment for the Can producers and writers of the show, they should have kept it Can. all the way, oh well, cant be 10/10 all the time, its at least an 8...

I simply love this show and never miss it since I discovered how GOOD it is. Not always realistic, but sometimes it REALLY is. The balance between the real actors and their cartoon equivalents is great. I was really surprised to find out it was filmed in my hometown, MONTREAL! Way to go!

Cody Miller (Jamie Elman) is a cartoon drawing student at Thomas A. Edison High School. He is enchanted by new girl Emily Roberts (Nicole Lyn) who convinces him to start a school newspaper. The arrogant Victor Kane (Miklos Perlus) and his photographer sidekick Flash Albright (Jessica Goldapple) already have a school paper. Cody and his friends, Chris Sheppard (Ross Hull), fashionista Mags Abernathy (Kate McIninch), ladykiller Romeo Carter (Mark Taylor), and klutzy Grace Vasquez (Victoria Sanchez), have to share the paper with them. After Emily, Cody would date Grace, Holly Benson (Katheryn Winnick), and finally Kim McLoud (Jennifer Finnigan).

This is a Canadian tween show in the style of Saved by the Bell. The kids are eminently nice and cute. The show is bright and quirky. Cody and Emily are a bit bland as the lead couple. Grace is a much better and nicer fit. Her departure does create instability. I thought that Flash would be a good fit for Cody's next girlfriend. They seem to be grooming her for a bigger emotional role. Instead, they added Kim played by the super adorable Finnigan. It's not bad but that's three similar characters as his girlfriends. This lasted three solid seasons which is fair for a high school show.

I really like this series, and it shows that there are people with worse problems than yours! Great concept, and the acting is good as well. It's surprising that all of the people on this show are actually over 20, but play 16-17 year old kids! I wish it was still going!

Pretty bad acting and writing but the show is just a low budget kids show so you get what you pay for and what you should expect. Better than many, not as good as many others.
