Does anyone remember the original series? With Joey Jeremiah, Snake, Caitlyn, Wheels, etc. It was great. I wish they would bring it back to tv.

we watched some in school before....lol and I was Degrassi the next generation...

This was my favorite show as a teenager!!!!Why they ever stopped playing it,I'll never know.I just found out something strange:that when they used to play this on PBS they censored it AND stopped showing episodes before they showed them all.I believe the last one they showed was The Fire one....which I always assunmed was the last one.Theres also a Degrassi movie that wraps up all the loose ends and tells you what happend to everyone.This stuff is for sale on amazon.com and half.com.I just ordered myself the Degrassi High boxed set for my birthday so I can re-live the experience.I'll show it to my daughter Cailtlyn(Yes...named after a Degrassi charactor!) when she's old enough to understand.
JOEY JEREMIAH ROCKS!!!!!!!!

It is so cool to find another Degrassi fan. That is so cool that you named your daughter after Caitlyn. I have always loved that name. Have you got your tapes yet? If so, is it like you remembered? I actually have been on Amazon.com & Half.com looking at the tapes for the last couple weeks. I would love to get the whole series, but I havent decided whether I want to spend that much money on it yet. The Jr. High & High series plus movie would be like $350.00. That is a lot to spend, but I bet it would be worth it. :)

I watched some original Degrassi High when it aired back in the 90s in Canada, either on Global which was then STV or CBC. I'm not sure. Anyway, the show was pretty good. I think the New Generation show sucks. I can't stand it! The original Degrassi High was so much better.

I actually got the HIGHSCHOOL box set...I didnt spring for the JR. HIGH set....yet.I'm sure I will one day.I got mine at half.com for about $90- which is good cuz amazon.com gets $130- Maybe I can make you copies when I get it(it didnt come yet!!!).
I'm ashamed to admitt I havent seen the new ones yet.My daughter usually gets the reomte so its usually Spongebob all night long.I heard some of the original charactors are in the new one.WELL NOW I HAVE TO SEE THAT!!!I guess I'll start taping them on Monday.
Well,its great to meet other DEGRASSI FANS!!!!!I LOVE THIS SITE!(p.s:you can find more Degrassi fans on yesterdayland.com)

yes, snake and spike and mr. raditch are on the show. apparently the first episode has a lot more characters, kinda like a reunion deal.

You now i've never seen the original, when did it air originally? If it was in the early 90's then i don't know why i missed it, was it syndicated in America or did it air on a network? was it daytime or primetime? was it an American series? i just started watching the Next Generation on Noggin and its good? is it as good as the original or is it a cheap rip-off that comes nowhere close to being as good as the original series?

the original aired from like 89 to around 92 i think. i came on at night on pbs. so that probably wasn't a channel you watched a lot as a child. execpt for sesame street, etc. it's was and is a canadian show. since i haven't seen it, i dont' know if it's as good, but i've heard it's not as good, but not a rip off either.

Thanks. that helps a lot.

Who here likes the character Luke? I like him, despite the fact he gave Shane acid!

My favourite episode of Junior High is probably "Great Expectations" because Joey's really funny in that episode. I like episodes that feature him in a leading role(other examples are "Fight!" and "Pa-arty!"). I also like Wheels(who played Griff on KDS) episodes, including "Parents Night".

Did anyone see Spike's mom in the DJH series? I was watching the ep last night where Spike and her mom had dinner with the family of the father of her baby, was it me or did she really resemble Spike as she is in the Next Generation series?

I watched THEEE ORIGINAL DEGRASSI on PBS. This is back in the 70's!!!!!!These are the episodes I want to see. Does anyone know if these are going to be shown? Are they available on DVD? I was shocked (in that era) with the topics that were being shown.

Do you mean the Kids of Degrassi Street? I was wondering that as well.

hmmmm...the title I remember is Degrassi Jr. High, it could have been called something else on another PBS station. But maybe it is the same one. Like I said, this is the original, the start of this series. I used to watch this along with ZOOM back in the 70's.

Kids on Degrassi Street was the start of the series, that one started in the 70's. Degrassi Jr High began in the 80's. I remember they did show DJH and DH as well, but they showed them around 6pm.

DJH started in 1987 and Degrassi High I think was 1989.I was kinda young than but I watch them now on The N and like it so much better than TNG..:cool:

I just finished taping the entire series a few weeks ago.it currently airs on bcb kids!:)

One of my favorite scenes of Degrassi Junior High is when Yick is trying to teach Arthur karate and he accidentally kicks the janitor.

when I was younger I use to watch some show on Nickelodeon I know it had a lot of drama. Just can't remember what it was called. It may have been the original degrassi but not sure. I would have to see a few episodes of degrassi to determine. It was back in the later 80's and early 90's.

I have most of the DJH and DH episodes on tape. I grew up watching this show. It was always on Monday nights at 8:00 on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). :) This is the one show that I can remember every episode vividly. I haven't seen an episode of Kids of Degrassi, I was too young during the time it originally aired.

Does anybody know when "Degrassi High" will be released. I am waiting.......

I emailed "WGBH" to inquire about (Degrassi High) and when will it be released and they responded back with this; and so now I'm happy to know it's coming.

Good News, though tempting I am not sure if I will buy the set since I have most of the episodes on tape. If the set sells for under $30 and has some nice bonus material, I probably will buy it.

i have all the jr high dvds, its one of my favorite shows in waiting for the high to come out.
i had the hugest crush on liz from jr high.

ive heard of the kids of degrassi but have never seen it, i didnt know it went back to the 70s.

degrassi.
the wonder years.
freaks and geeks.

i hope something this good come along again someday.

I'm still waiting for the release of "Degrassi High" on dvd this coming fall.

No prob.

For the record I have since watched the TNG AND own every season. Great show. I highly recommend it.

I liked him more in the high school years.

Oh, I know!!! I always thought so. That was good casting. :)

I remember further back than Degrassi Junior, here in Canada, we had the first series "The kids of Degrassi", years before the other series were ever shown in the USA. (They never showed "Kids of" in the USA, did they?)

Does anybody know when "Degrassi High" will be released. I am waiting.......

I think it is currently out on DVD.
