Degrassi: It goes there! - Page 2

HEY you are talking to Degrassi's biggest fan.. I loved Degrassi Junior High...

Geeky Moment: I remember the two part episode which was the season finale that had Degrassi Junior High burning up.. So next season it became Degrassi High... I loved that show..

For a while they were playing the old episodes and I watched the new ones, but they are not as raw as the old ones... good to see Joey, Snake, Spike and Catlin as adults in the new ones...

I'm happy that so many of you like Degrassi. It was and still is a part of Canadian television...probably one of the most successful Canadian series ever made.

But, did you guys know that it actually premiered back in 1980 under the title "Kids of Degrassi Street?" It ran on and off for a few years before Degrassi Junior High came on in 1987.

And, now we have the newest incarnation of Degrassi, which is currently in its sixth season...and admittedly, I don't find it all that bad.

(of course, having Snake and Spike still with the program helps a LOT!)

The one thing I do like about the new series is that if you were a total DJH and DH fan then you would know that the new series really had some good back story to work with and they did.. When Emma met her biological dad ( Shane), When Wheels came back to town with cancer, having Mr Raditch the first couple of seasons! And of course poor Joey trying to travel back with the Zit Remedy...

Would really love to see an adult Lucy. On D:TNG... I remember her lach-key/shoplifting storyline, not to mention getting felt up by that creepy teacher, and having the abusive boyfriend and losing her best friend L.D. to cancer.. she had some good story....

Haha! I didn't watch it often as a kidlet, but caught it here and there. I'm pretty sure it was whenever we had cable, but I couldn't remember the channel for the life of me.

I will admit that I have caught a few D:TNG episodes, but without cable or satellite (won't be a problem in 2 weeks!) I haven't even bothered in this last year and a half. I never really went out of my way to watch it, but those marathons can get awfully enticing.

got to watch spike and snakes wedding.... dang!

i am obsessed with degrassi. i do not feel the need to hide this fact.

many more people than i ever expected seem to be fans of the show... when i write about a recent episode in my live journal i got comments from people of all ages who i had never expected to be fans... took me by surprise...

yes, then fast forward 20 years to Natalie's daughter attending Eastland.

That is what got me hooked. It is as bad as a 90210 girls marathon on Lifetime.

What are you cookoo bananas!

I was shocked when they killed JT, but the followup episode was kind of blah. What is with the "girlfriend" anyhow? Liberty is the mother of his illegitimate, given away for adoption child.

Does anyone know when it comes back? It has a weird season schedule.
