    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.

    Brings back the joy of being a kid

    It was a cute show. Predictable, yes, but cute none the less.

    It isn't supposed to be the creme de la creme of cinema. It was a show for kids to watch, and that was the target audience.

    It is similar in style to Saved by the Bell, however without as much sparkle. SbtB was the hit, and this show was simply an attempt to recreate the magic in a different setting.

    I was among the many who loved shows like this, at one point I wanted a channel of nothing, but shows of this order. It reminds of a time when life was simpler and the hijinks only caused problems for a few days or a few hours.

    So although it isn't terribly original, it was fun to watch and those among the intended audiences understood that.

    "USA Low"

    I see then IMDB did not print my first review of this show.Why not?It is only USA High,as bad enough as it is.

    In short this is a recycled Peter Engle teen show,with the Saved By The Bell mode used for the show,which is bad enough as it is.

    You have Thomas Magiar and Josh Holland playing the two studs.You have Elisa Lyons and Kristen Miller playing the two hotties.You have Marquita Terry playing the token black girl,who has too much of Stuart Scott disease in her.Plus you have James Madio playing the Screech role only that he is short,not dumb or ugly but he is the odd man out here anyway.

    There you have it.Pure Saved By The Bell redux.Same old plots,same old bad writing,same old format,same old bad acting,same old Peter Engle making money again.

    Considering it is the same as SBTB,Califoria Dreams,Running The Halls,Hang Time,One World,and City Guys.USA High is something one can say safely,"I have passes this way before".

    Right.A dull sitcom without cute actors to make you forget the lack of entertainment you see on the show.A Peter Engle show can be anything more can it?

    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.
