90210 (TV series)
On January 13, 2013, the President of The CW Mark Pedowitz stated that though "90210" doesn't have a season 6 renewal in place, the show would most likely be back next year (possibly for the final season if it were to be canceled) due to him being a "big believer in giving fans a very satisfactory conclusion" for a long-running show. However, on February 28, 2013, The CW Entertainment President, Mark Pedowitz, announced that "90210" would end its run after five seasons and 114 episodes.
Degrassi
"Degrassi Junior High" aired for 42 episodes from 1987 to 1989. Later, much of the cast continued over into the spin-off series, "Degrassi High", with some extra cast members and a new high school. "Degrassi High" aired on CBC and PBS for two years from 1989 until 1991. These series are often compared to "Saved by the Bell" and "Beverly Hills, 90210", the latter of which began airing in the United States at the same time, except "90210" used actors who were in their twenties to play teenagers, whereas "Degrassi" used people who were the same age they were playing. As with "Saved by the Bell", "Degrassi High" follows teenagers going through everyday normal teen social issues, but problems are not solved within the episode; some plot-lines often continue through multiple episodes.
Unlike "Saved by the Bell" or "Beverly Hills, 90210", "Degrassi Junior High" and "Degrassi Junior High"'s low budget production offered a more authentic portrayal of average school aged students which the audience found to be more relatable. Cast members often did their own makeup and wardrobe. Additionally, both "Degrassi Junior High" and "Degrassi Junior High" were filmed in actual Toronto area schools rather than in television production studios.
