Degrassi?
 

Did anyone ever watch "Degrassi JR High" or "Degrassi High"? I saw part of the new "Degrassi" last night. I can't really picture Snake as a teacher but whatever. I wish they had just done a reunion instead of a new generation... Thoughts?

Holy crap, I used to watch Degrassi all of the time. They have a new one?!? When is it on and what channel is it on? I'd like to see how the show has changed/stayed the same.

Have a nice day :)

I'm sure its on CBC somewhere, but on the N (which I think is Nickelodeon's new catchy name) Monday's at 9 pm.

I used to love that show.

OMG...Snake's a teacher?

I used to watch Degrassi Jr. High/Degrassi High when I was in middle school. I think it used to be on PBS...

Wow...I remember when Joey and the guys started up that band... when one of the twins got pregnant.... and Mr. Radich (sp?)...how he followed the kids to the new school after theirs had the fire... Funny how all of this is coming back to me now.

The new degrassi is on CTV, not sure when. It can't even compete with the old school degrassi, these guys started at what, grade 5 on degrassi street? That became degrassi jr. high and then degrassi. One thing's definite, the budget stayed the same for that show over the years. I think i saw joey wearing his 'rat a ta ta' shirt until he was 18.

I can't believe while reading this thread I was able to remeber the band Zit Remedy's ona and only corny song? You kno, "Everybody wants something they'll never give up." Let me stop now.

The Zit Remedy's Here!
 

I was such a Degrassi fiend... I tried watching the new series, but I don't know, I guess I'm too old or something, because the new kids bug me (I really, REALLY don't like Emma). I keep hoping that one of the Canadian networks or PBS will bring back the classic series, but I don't suppose I should hold my breath.

I was so surprised to see that Joey Jeremiah has thinning hair! That was the one thing from the reunion movie that made me feel positively ancient. And who knew that Spike would turn out to be the best looking out of all the kids?

There is also going to be Degrassi on Noggin now. I've never seen it so I don't know if it's the old one or a new one but going on what types of shows noggin airs it might be old. So, if anyone gets nice cable (we have digital so lots of extra channels) you can catch it there too. As a side note they also show clarissa explains it all. I remember then i though that show was so cool.

Degrassi is going to be on tonight (Friday, April 5th) at 10:00pm. I don't remember what channel but if you flip through your preview guide or whatever you should come across it.

TTT
 

All this talk about the Disney channel reminded me of another favorite from back in the day. DEGRASSI! I still haven't seen the new one, unfortunately....I don't have digital cable, so I don't have the N.

Anyway, the best episode by far was when Claude (Clowed) killed himself. Gosh, all those episodes were great.

OMG that is a blast from the past. yeah i watched both fo them. and snake a teacher.....wow see mircles do happen :D

I loved Degrassi Jr. High and Degrassi High. I want them to bring back the old-school shows. I had such a crush on Joey Jeremiah. :)

Remember Yick and Arthur? And Arthur's sister Stephanie?

"Go all the way with Stephanie K.!"

"Degrassi: The Next Generation" is no where near the old Episodes of "Degrassi Jr. High" or "Degrassi High."
Those shows were awesome!!! I haven't seen any episodes of "Kids of Degrassi Street" and I wish they would show those.

I never watched the original, but "Degrassi: The Next Generation" is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I get embarrassed when my roommates come in and I'm watching a soap opera for teenagers, but whatever.

The new Degrassi is on on Monday nights at 8:30pm on CTV. I think it is done for this season though.

Apparently the guy that sits across from me at work was in several episodes of Degrassi: Jr. High.

His character didn't have a name, but he sold Wheels drugs.

I don't know how true it is. I have to watch the episodes to find out.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA! Oh god! That's hilarious to me.

"Hi, I sold Wheels drugs and sent his life into a downward spiral."

Hahahaha, yeah I think he might have done a few of those drugs himself, lol

My roommates and I are OBSESSED with Degrassi: TNG. I think it helps that we never saw the original, though.

TNG is good, but it's not as good as the original.

It has similar story lines from the original. I love how some of the old characters asr back Like Spike, Caitlin, Joey and Snake.

well, I have to admit..
 

I'm hooked on TNG also.

Degrassi Jr. High Theme Song

Wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely,
gee, I gotta go to this school.
I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take,
I wonder what I'm gonna do.
But when I look around and see,
that someone is smiling right at me,
wait, someone talkin' to me, hey, I gotta new friend.
Everybody can succeed, all you gotta do is believe,
let's be honest with yourself, forget your fears and doubts,
come on give us a try at Degrassi Junior High.


Degrassi High Theme Song

Wake up in the morning, gotta shake this feeling,
I gotta face a day of school.
What's to be afraid of ? I can ask a question, or maybe even bend a rule.
I'm looking for a way so I can fit in, if there's a way if I can look, then I can win.
I can see I'm not alone, I can face the unknown.
Everybody can succeed, in themselves, you must believe,
give it a try at Degrassi High.

Now I have the Degrassi Jr. High song stuck in my head! Thanks Lady Pi Phi! :rolleyes:

LOLhttp://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/laugh.gif

I can't believe I just sang both theme songs to the old shows.

Out loud.

Oh you're not the only one.

Funny how all of a sudden the tune just came back to me just now.

I think I have some old episodes on tape.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

My work here is done! :D

They forced us to watch those shows (DJH) in health class when I was little. I definitely preferred its hipper twin, "Saved by the Bell."

BLT!
 

I saw the guy who played BLT in the original series on Girlfriends on Monday night - he was the guy hawking fake Louis Vuitton on the street. :D

Re: BLT!
 

Oh noooooooo not BLT!

Apparently there is some kind of marathon on the Noggin this weekend. Someone at work told me about it. Check your local listings...

Ha, ha I was thinking the same thing...:)

They should do a marathon of the older shows. I'd watch that. :D

For you DJH and DH-philes,
 

I found this website that sells VHS of both DJH and DH

http://shoppervalues.com/movies

On the left side, there is a quick search option. You'll have to type in Degrassi Jr High and Degrassi High. They sell them by episode.

Also, I found this site character guide for TNG from the old characters

There isn't actually a school on De Grassi street anymore, i think it got closed in the last budget crisis, but there still is a De Grassi street in the east end of Toronto.

The school where they filmed Degrassi high still stands.

It's now part of Centennial College. It's the Bell Centre for Creative Communications.
