    Hells yes it was big in Canada, those fools were celebrities up here...b, 21b, 21"Degrassi Junior High is a Canadian CBC Television teen drama series that was produced from 1987-1989 as part of the Degrassi series. The show followed the lives of a group of students attending the titular fictional school. Many episodes tackled difficult issues such as drug use, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, homosexuality and divorce, and the series was acclaimed for its sensitive and realistic portrayal of the challenges of teenage life. The cast comprised mainly non-professional actors, which added to the show's sense of realism."b, 21b, 21object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1b, 21b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/liljohn.gif" alt="" 21

    Degrassi was huge in Canada. You'll be hard pressed to find a Canadian who has not seen or heard of it.b, 21b, 21Great show, very bold for its time and the age of its audience. Equally funny and cheesy, but in a great way.

Bought all of the dvd box sets a year or so back on impulse when i saw them in the store. Although i suspect that the resulting degrassi marathon may have adversly affected my health.

    Joey Jeramiah. The most ethic lookin' dude and the one who was always wylin' out, and getting into trouble. What was up with that? b, 21And exactly what ethnicity was he suppose to be anyway? b, 21Puerto Rican? Italiano? Arab? b, 21b, 21This show was always lacking an edge. Probably had something to do with the fact that it was Canadian. I still watched though.

    You thought Joey was the most ethnic looking person on the show? lolb, 21b, 21And an edge? They were dealing with topics dealing with youths like drugs, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, trading kisses for votes HAHA, etc long before most.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Yeah, it did have all these things, but it still was lacking something. Like it was always cloudy in the episodes, and it just seemed dreary. (Canadian) b, 21It was definitely no "Saved By The Bell", or "90210", I mean who cares about real issues, when you got those shows. b, 21b, 21b, 21Also with the exception of the ocassional black dude in back, or arab lookin dude in the back, b, 21Joey Jerimiah was the most ethnic lookin' lead dude. And it was accentuated by the fact that he wore hats all the time. b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/emil.gif" alt="" 21

  • canonicalcanonical 2,100 Posts
    The show was very conscious of being ethnically diverse. I don't think you've paid enough attention.b, 21b, 21All things considered the show was far from safe. Every single episode attacked a seemingly controversial issue. Considering its date and audience it was very edgy.b, 21b, 21Caitlin's "song" on the "Degrassi Talks" shorts was the definition of mid-80s pop burn-out.

    i loved yik!! Was such a cutie!!b, 21b, 21Who saw the actual movie?? i just remember joey was still with caitlyn and then he cheated on her with tessa capineli! And wheels was getting into the booze and started drink driving and had lucy in his car and crashed and she ended up in a wheelchair.....b, 21b, 21as a kid the show was for sure a psa......never done lsd and initially i think part of the reason was that degrassi ep!! oh my!! ahahhahahahhaha.....
