Ready or Not (1993-1997 Complete Series)

Ready or Not is a Canadian teen drama television series that aired on the Showtime Movie Channel (April 3, 1993[1] – 1997) and later on The Disney Channel (April 4, 1996[2] – 2000) and Global Television Network for five seasons and 65 episodes between 1993 and 1997 in both Canada and the United States.

The program follows two teenage girls in the suburbs of Toronto, Amanda Zimm (Laura Bertram) and Elizabeth "Busy" Ramone (Lani Billard), throughout life's struggles as well as showcasing the different households they grew up in. Amanda was an only child raised by liberal former hippie parents including a Mother that was into New Age philosophy and often tried to incorporate it into her parenting while Busy was from a more conservative and traditional Italian Canadian Catholic household with three older brothers. The show began as a short film and was titled Thirty-Two Double A. Eventually the producers saw that the show had the potential to be popular and turned it into a series. Throughout the show's 5-year run, the girls matured from the sixth grade to the ninth grade. The show ends when one of the main characters (Amanda Zimm) has to move to the British Columbia Coast. Her best friend on the show, Busy Ramone, stays behind.
