Joel For years, I never thought that any channel would bring this show back.The Next Generation is entertaining, but I've always wondered if they'd show this version at some point... I got the answer later last year.In comparison to the current Degrassi, this seems a bit tamer. All the same, it still has the drama that everyone enjoys. (By the way, "It Creeps" is my favorite episode.) I just have to say one other thing: watch this series, and then watch Next Generation and compare and contrast the original cast members... man they look different! This series is up to par with it's current counterpart. 8/10

dell_of_dreams Wow, I used to LOVE this show when i was a kid, i would eagerly await it after school each day and i was never let down, nor was I ever put off by the warning that preceeded each episode.A vast array of emotions were experience by myself over the years whilst watching the series.I was shocked when Spike got pregnant, was in hysterics when Joey walked through the cafeteria wearing nowt but a strategically placed hat, i was struck with disbelief when Claude did himself in in the toilets, and smiled when Yik and Arthur got hold of a porn film.Oh the good old days eh? the new series could never compete.

Jeremy Man Israel's TV station Channel 2 was looking for youth viewers in the mid 90's. So they brought several series similar to Degrassi.My friends and I watched Degrassi JR high and Degrassi High and since we were the same age as these kids, we related to what they were going threw. Although they showed these seasons almost a decade after it first aired (and started showing here when it was already cancelled in the states), we still understood the charachters and enjoyed the show.Joey Jeremiah was my favriote charachter and gave me a good laugh too!

studhead182 I remember when I was in 7th grade my teacher would make us watch the show. When I saw the first episode I thought it was horrible! But then I kept seeing more and more episodes and started likeing the dang show. I saw so many episodes me and my friends knew the theme song. We always hated the show but then we kept watching it. It's better then doing class work. And when my teacher was going to put a stupid movie on we would beg to watch Degrassi Jr. High. That tv show warped my fragile little mind. I remember I've seen so many episodes. I watched the episode where that girl with the weird spiked hair gets pregnant. I saw the episode where Katelin gets a seisure. There were also other episodes like when Wheel's parents die and he runs away to meet his real father and Snake finds out his brother is gay and Joey wanting sex I think from Pam. There was also another episode with some balimic b*tch. And Katelin defending animal rights. It was just one of a kind shows. Every one shoulden't watch it unless your teacher tortures you by watching it. It's evil!
