    This is the worst show ever!!

    This show is really bad. And I mean really, really bad. Marquita Terry is the worst actress I've ever seen. Her character is so stupid. She's too overpowering. She's so jealous that she forbids her boyfriend, Christian, from having any fun. Christian is so dumb, I don't see how he ever made it through kindergarden. Ashley's accent is so fake!! Her character is dumb, too. I mean, come on, no one's that stupid!! Jackson is so girl-crazy. He just focuses on girls and music. And if he hasn't had his big break yet, cut out the music pro talk already!!!!!!! Lazerini is dumb, too. He acts like a caveman!! No respectable human being acts like that!!! Lauren's character is fake. Eleana Lyons needs to go to a better acting school. Mr. Elliot is a total idiot! No headmaster acts like that, especially if he wants to keep his job. He just flirts with Miss Dupree' and he's got to be about twice her age!! This is a really poor show, the acting is bad, and the plot outlines are stupid and unrealistic. Don't waste any of your time on this show.

    Epic in television

    This show is raw, funny and oh so original. The plot was superb and the acting was some of the best I have seen in a long time. I must say the high light of the show was William James Jones who played Dwane "excess" Wilson he was the real reason I began watching the show (great actor) but I was pulled in by the talents of Josh Holland, Elena Lyons and Marquita Terry. Now if they would bring this show to DVD I could feel complete. This show definitely gets an A+ from this satisfied fan.

    International students attend an elite academy in Paris

    I grew up on "Saved by the Bell", and I don't see any previous plot holes changed here. Now that I look back on it, SBTB was dependent on a lot of suspended disbelief, and not that of sci-fi movies or action movies. They were just stupid things, like scams that would never work, a very close knit relationship with your principal, the same room for every character but just with different posters up on the wall. USA High is all that, plus a complete lack of character development or charisma. I can't even bear to watch the end title, the music, fake scenery and dialogue are corny, transparent, and aren't even remotely funny.

    A GREAT SHOW!!!

    Usa high rules! In a good way, it's different from those other teen shows. It's not set in the U.S., instead, it's set in Paris! The characters are from different background and very well-developed on this show. All the girls are hot. The funniest is Winnie, who's a sexy black girl with a whole lot of attitude; Ashley is next, who is a pretty blonde with a perculiar view of the world; and then comes the lovely Lauren, who's the nicest; and last but not least, Mrs. Gabrielle Dupree, who is one of the sexiest teachers I've ever seen. The boys are Christian, who's Winnie's boyfriend and is somewhat spacey; and Lazz, who's strange but very funny; and Jackson, the ladies man; and finally Mr. Elliot, the widowed father of Ashley who likes Ms. Dupree. This show was always good. Some episode rocked while a few were lame. Excess, the newest character, was okay, but not as good as the rest(he was better as Tony Wicks). This show wasn't as good as SBTB: College Years, but it lasted longer. I would rate it a 7/10.

    Hee hee, I like this show.

    Guilty pleasure, obsessive addiction, refusal of maturity..........?

    Whatever you want to call it, I like this show. See, like any dedicated adolescent, I'm a big advocate for Peter's productions. And although I'll always favor the earlier escapades of Zach, Kelly, Slater, Jessie, Lisa, and Screech (though I'll forever dislike Screech), this one has affectionately annoyed and endeared me enough to increase its viewing audience.

    Hey, I don't mind. I'm apathetically inclined. I'll allow myself to be captivated by the lives of the obviously toooldforboardingschool actors and their heyI'mlivinginParisinthisreallybigroomandIhavealotofmoney. Because I like the European setting. The unrealistic dorm sizes. Lauren Fontaine's wardrobe. Its all innocent and unimaginative fun. Something I've always enjoyed partaking in. Thanks for not letting me mature, Pete.
