    AWESOME

    THIS SHOW IS REALLY COOL. I have seen it many times. It shows how 2 different people can become best friends. I think that its a great show to watch with friends and i was sad to see the series end. :(

    I wish I was in Canada

    You Canadians really have your stuff together. You show all the oldies but goodies. This YTV sounds interesting and I would love to have that channel if it means I could watch this show. I adored this show! I cannot explain how upset I was that I didn't have the premium channels back in the day and would have to wait for Disney's free preview weekend to watch this show. Canadian based teen shows are really good at hitting the nail of teen life or emerging teen life. Mess like Dawson's Creek are ridiculous compared to this show and "Higher Ground". I loved the dynamic of the 2 lead characters. They dealt with a lot of issues you wouldn't think to address, and did it without an ABC After-School Special quality about it. It was very blunt and "this is what it is", now deal quality that I liked. Laura Bertram is a tremendous actress. I remember her from a lot of childhood shows like "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" and was just wowed at my young age by her talent. I can't even remember specific episodes, but I hope they add it to the WAM! channel. Might write a letter...lol. Seriously, it was a great dramatic show about entering adolescence and the issues we have on the way. Awesome piece of work!

    Sweet Show

    I cannot even fathom that someone just said Saved By The Bell was better and that it was more fun. Of course it was more fun, it was unrealistic, they were all "perfect" looking, (with the exception of screech of course)they hardly EVER were in a classroom and they spent most of their time at the max. How realistic is that? If someone was sent to the principle's office as much as Zac morris was don't you think they would have had a meeting with his parents a loooooooooooooong time ago? LOL geez.

    I like ready or not and degrassi junior high because the kids aren't painted up. They are real looking kids with real problems. They weren't 24 year olds playing 15 year olds. They're was a kind of innocence about it's lowbudgetness. Canada seems to hit it right on the money with their teen dramas.

    But hey, they also made Avonlea and Anne Of Green Gables.

    great show

    This was a really great show, and I remember watching it on Showtime when it first started way back when. I'm 22 now, and would probably watch the show today, because it was light, and the humor worked really well. I don't remember everything about the show, but I do remember that it was definitely quality television, and so much better than the teen stuff on today, which is utter crap.

    Amazing coming to age show

    Ready or Not was in my opinion one of the best teenage shows ever! The show followed two long time best friends Amanda Zimm and Elizabeth "Busy" Ramone through there years of middle school and high school. This show dealt with what every teenage girl goes through: puberty, boyfriends, first kisses, and heartbreak. Ready or Not also dealt with everyday problems. Some of them were rasicm, homophobia, eating disorders, peer-pressure, and many more.

    I first saw this show on Disney channel and was immediately hooked. After it was taking off Disney I started to see it on Showtime. Watching the shows on Disney now, I am VERY shocked they ever aired this show, even though they didn't air a few episodes. The characters were amazing. Busy was the somewhat independent free thinker who didn't obsess over boys while Amanda was the complete opposite she was a boy crazy person who always wanted to fit in. The acting was incredible and I truly miss this show and the cute theme song!!
