I know! A lot of what goes on in the new series would NEVER have made it onto the original! Could you picture Spike and Liz in that same position?

(Well, actually, I probably could.

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....

So is remembering Kids of Degrassi Street like remembering the first season of The Facts of Life when they were in the junior high school before the addition of Jo?

Actually, what's really weird is a lot of the Degrassi characters (Wheels and Caitlin, for sure) were in Kids of Degrassi Street, but none of them were playing the characters that they would initially play on Degrassi Junior High/High.

I guess in one weird way, it was like watching a television pilot that kicked off a successful show, with the parts being played by other people.

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.

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

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.
