O.T.: Degrassi (Or However It's Spelled)

Just watched an episode of it for the first time - the one where the cheerleader is the victim of date rape. In summary it was tasteless, classless, humorless, meaningless drivel - the very antithesis of "Daria". I've seen a few episodes of "Just Deal" and that isn't a bad show, but "Degrassi" was revolting.
