Ready Or Not: A Defining Canadian Teen Drama Of The 1990s
Ready or Not (1993–1997) stands as a cornerstone of 1990s Canadian television, offering a nuanced and heartfelt exploration of adolescence through the lives of two best friends, Amanda Zimm (Laura Bertram) and Elizabeth “Busy” Ramone (Lani Billard). Airing for five seasons and 65 episodes on the Showtime Movie Channel (1993–1997), Global Television Network, and later The Disney Channel (1996–2000) in both Canada and the United States, the series captured the messy, authentic struggles of teenage girlhood in suburban Toronto.
