Student Bodies is a syndicated television comedy program that was produced in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from 1997 to the end of 1999. While a live-action series, animations are used throughout as thoughts and imaginations. The segments are usually dark and comical. Though the show enjoyed much bigger success in Canada, the show was originally made for the American market under the distribution of 20th Television and aired on many Fox affiliated stations for one year. The show aired in Canada on Global and YTV. It has been called "an imitation of Saved by the Bell" by critics, and featured an ensemble cast of high school students at Thomas A. Edison High School.
No one seems to appreciate Mags' fashion column, and this seriously interferes with her dreams of stardom! But someone does notice -- Victor -- who is always looking for a weakness in the ""Student Bodies"" team. Victor attempts to woo Mags by offering her the job of Style Editor on ""The Student Voice"". With the help of Flash, Victor's flattery and persistence pays off, and Mags crosses to the other side of the newspaper office. As part of her new job, Victor asks her to write an expose on ""Student Bodies"". Things on ""Student Bodies"" start to fall apart as everyone realizes how much Mags did. Later Cody overhears Victor tell Flash that he's just using Mags to get her expose on the others. Cody wars Mags, but she doesn't believe him... at first. When Mags realizes what Victor is doing, she outsmarts him, and goes back to ""Student Bodies"", and to her real friends.

While another group of students produces a video tribute to class bombshell Morgan, Emily discovers Cody's cartooning talent, and suggests that as their new project topic, but Cody doesn't want his talents seen by anyone else. The group decides to go behind Cody's back and make his drawings their project. Chris, seeing a way to make some money, prints up hundreds of copies of Cody's comic -- the first edition of ""Student Bodies"". Cody is appalled at having his artwork about the school (despite the fact that his name isn't even on it), and so is the vice principal Mrs. Morton. When she discovers who the authors of the comic are, she forbids them to make another. But a reminder from Emily about 'freedom of speech', the comic is allowed to live.. for the time being.
There's a ""Back to School"" dance at Edison High, and Chris asks Kim to be his date, and her friend Alison to be Cody's date. Cody is stunned. First because he has no idea what Alison looks like, and secondly because he can't dance! Romeo suggests that Chris teach Cody, and Chris promises if he can't teach Cody, he'll cancel the date. So Chris, Mags, Romeo, and Emily all try to teach Cody to dance. Then a beautiful girl comes in an introduces herself as Alison. Now Cody is fascinated and really wants to learn to dance. But Emily isn't that thrilled once she finds out how much Cody likes the other girl. So with a half hour before his date is supposed to start, Emily is teaching Cody to dance. When a slow song comes on, Cody and Emily dance closely, looking into each others eyes. Later at the dance, while dancing with Alison, Cody finds that he really isn't looking at Alison, but across the room at Emily, and she's looking back.

But Chantal thinks Cody is speaking for himself and not for Chris, and gives Cody a huge kiss that Flash just happens to catch on film! Now Chris is mad at Cody, Emily is not impressed with the photo, and Cody has to clear things up with Chantal!

The humiliation causes Victor to, accidently, bump into Nick while holding his lunch.
Morgan tells Chris she needs his help and asks if he's free on Friday night. Chris, tongue tied and smitten, agrees to pick her up at 7:30. Chris is so pumped about his 'date' with Morgan, that he asks Flash to come and take pictures at a posh French restaurant, he enlists Romeo to write a romantic love song, and hires a gorilla-gram to deliver chocolates and flowers to Morgan in English class. Chris' friends are a bit skeptical about the date, so Cody asks Morgan, who tells him that Chris is getting her out of the house so she can go meet her real boyfriend. When Cody tells Morgan that Chris thinks they are dating, Morgan tries to tell Chris differently but he won't listen, and even hires a limo for their date. When Chris and Morgan arrive at their restaurant, with Flash, Romeo, and Morgan's 20-something boyfriend Kyle are waiting, Chris is dumbfounded to find out that Morgan really was just using him to get her out of the house. But all in all, by the end, his evening didn't really t
