Degrassi: The Next Generation - J.T.'s Farewell Music Video

I had originally uploaded and designed this video last year just shortly after the original episode aired as part of a Filmmaking editing project. The intent of the video was to show the "memorial" type video that Mr. Simpson (Stefan Brogren) had arranged in the episode, but, that we only saw snippets of. Unfortunately, it was removed from YouTube after about a month.

In the intervening months, I have decided to reupload the video. There's no telling how long it will stay up, so, enjoy it while it lasts.

If you've ready my reviews of the seventh season of the show, you'd know that I'm of the opinion that the episode quality has gotten steadily worse since J.T. was killed off. Originally, season seven was supposed to deal with the repercussions of his death and the ongoing rivalry between Degrassi and Lakehurst. Unfortunately, the majority of the season has been littered with bad sitcom fare, inexplicable plot twists, and unlikely pairings of characters while the Degrassi/Lakehurst rivalry was resolved off-screen. So, in retrospect, this video not only serves as a farewell to the J.T. character, but, in my view, the better years of the show, because, it's all been down hill since "The Bitterest Pill." Enjoy!

This is what I had for the original video:
"On the heels of the character's death in the episode "Rock This Town", comes a music video detailing the character's most important moments throughout his six year run on "Degrassi: The Next Generation", set to 'Better Days' by the Goo Goo Dolls."

@poodlestyle33 that would be AMAZING if the creaters of this show decided to incorporate Liberty and JT's son into the show somehow :) I would love to have a TRUE new generation and see the kids of Emma, Manny, Toby, Liberty, Paige...etc....:)
