I see then IMDB did not print my first review of this show.Why not?It is only USA High,as bad enough as it is.
In short this is a recycled Peter Engle teen show,with the Saved By The Bell mode used for the show,which is bad enough as it is.
You have Thomas Magiar and Josh Holland playing the two studs.You have Elisa Lyons and Kristen Miller playing the two hotties.You have Marquita Terry playing the token black girl,who has too much of Stuart Scott disease in her.Plus you have James Madio playing the Screech role only that he is short,not dumb or ugly but he is the odd man out here anyway.
There you have it.Pure Saved By The Bell redux.Same old plots,same old bad writing,same old format,same old bad acting,same old Peter Engle making money again.
Considering it is the same as SBTB,Califoria Dreams,Running The Halls,Hang Time,One World,and City Guys.USA High is something one can say safely,"I have passes this way before".
Right.A dull sitcom without cute actors to make you forget the lack of entertainment you see on the show.A Peter Engle show can be anything more can it?

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.

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.
"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.
Yes, I like this show. Though it is just "Saved By The Bell: The Collage Years" - "California Dreams" + "Saved By The Bell"...good copy-off huh? Now if you've seen ALL of Peter Engel's shows you know one thing, all just rip-offs "Saved By The Bell". This time it is different. Instead of just using regular humor they use offbeat humor. Stuff you won't find on the "Saved By The Bell"-ish shows. A great show...backfired when William James Jones came.
