I will never understand why Degrassi Jr. High has such a big following in the States. There has been some damn good Canadian television… but this wasn’t one of them. Anyway, the IMDB offers up this interesting little tid bit of Canadiana Lore for us Kevin Smith Fans:
Ben Affleck has turned down the chance to make a cameo appearance in Canadian TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation, despite director pal Kevin Smith’s desperate attempts. Jersey Girl director Smith will fulfill a life-long ambition when he appears in three episodes of the show, a spin-off of his favourite childhood programme Degrassi: Junior High, which ran from 1986-1991.
Ummm… appearing in Degrassi was a life long ambition? Dude, I think you’re great and everything… but you need better dreams.
