USA High

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.

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.

"USA High" is by far the best of the Peter Engel teen comedies. Instead of relying on just tired old one liners, the show emphasizes humor based from good character development. The cast is one of the best on any show currently running. The show borrows from other shows, not just other Peter Engel programs. It is part "Save By the Bell (but much better), part "Friends," and part "Three's Company." One down side is that the show has been thrown off balance with the exit of Lazzarini and the entrance of Excess.

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.

F-

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.
