Student Bodies

I really like this series, and it shows that there are people with worse problems than yours! Great concept, and the acting is good as well. It's surprising that all of the people on this show are actually over 20, but play 16-17 year old kids! I wish it was still going!

This is a teen sitcom I honestly miss. Where I live, it was shown at 6 a.m. on Saturday mornings, so I would have to wake up earlier than usual to tune in. And I did! This teen sitcom was better than practically all of that T-NBC junk on the air now. The show had a talented cast, clever (and realistic) dialogue, originality (the comic scenes are uproarious), and reality. For a teen sitcom, it surprisingly had teenagers acting the way modern teenagers really do, not like little kids in teenagers' (actually, 20-somethings') bodies. A great teen sitcom that just could not find its place on television.

Cody Miller (Jamie Elman) is a cartoon drawing student at Thomas A. Edison High School. He is enchanted by new girl Emily Roberts (Nicole Lyn) who convinces him to start a school newspaper. The arrogant Victor Kane (Miklos Perlus) and his photographer sidekick Flash Albright (Jessica Goldapple) already have a school paper. Cody and his friends, Chris Sheppard (Ross Hull), fashionista Mags Abernathy (Kate McIninch), ladykiller Romeo Carter (Mark Taylor), and klutzy Grace Vasquez (Victoria Sanchez), have to share the paper with them. After Emily, Cody would date Grace, Holly Benson (Katheryn Winnick), and finally Kim McLoud (Jennifer Finnigan).

This is a Canadian tween show in the style of Saved by the Bell. The kids are eminently nice and cute. The show is bright and quirky. Cody and Emily are a bit bland as the lead couple. Grace is a much better and nicer fit. Her departure does create instability. I thought that Flash would be a good fit for Cody's next girlfriend. They seem to be grooming her for a bigger emotional role. Instead, they added Kim played by the super adorable Finnigan. It's not bad but that's three similar characters as his girlfriends. This lasted three solid seasons which is fair for a high school show.

There was one kid in this who stains my memory. They called him 'the prince of the ground.' People kept finding him staring at the water in toilets. Every SinGle DAY of this show he'd stare at 2 low quality pictures of the moon (one showing the entire moon, the other showing a close up of its surface) as he walked passed a circle of 12 kids who were sharing their thoughts.

I think this show is fairly good! Well acted and a good script. Good thing to watch right after school!!! It makes you feel better knowing that they are going through worse problems than you!
