KDS Episode 26 - Griff Gets a Hand 3/3

[HarryPotter87]

"Mini Jeff Goldblum"'s bowtie seems really dated. It looks like something from those '70s and early-'80s tuxedos.

[fisteberg]

@sygo7g I am french so it's funny even if i love KDS.This series is so fresh!I really loved it.

[ShaqXDeezil]

@PurplePizzaPokemon lol chill out triple p

[MyChemicallyBlackSun]

i am so glad you posted all of these, i saw every episode and i almost cried at the end. it was so cute. every one of these episodes really taught people something, and i think everyone should watch these.

[Mysterycat74]

MRS. GONZALES: Congratulations...Rachel, here's your diploma...Now don't EAT it, Rachel! It's NOT edible!"

[letsgobluengold1027]

I wonder what happened after graduation that everyone had to change their names... I'm guessing Duke was part of the mob.

[SkyfireTheFox]

I see at graduation, Pete decided to go for the Pee Wee Herman look.

[mousewithalaser]

ill im hearing is aboot

[retrorespect81]

@sygo7g

It's funny eh how school varies all over the place. I never attended a Catholic or private school, always public. I'm kinda glad that I wasn't in Junior High or High School around the age of 12 lol, I would have felt out of place being so young.

[retrorespect81]

Just a note: In Canada it depends on which province you live in as to what grade junior high starts etc...not all of Canada is grade 7 junior high and grade 8 middle.

In B.C. Elementary school is Kindergarten to grade 7 and High school is grade 8 to 12 and there is no middle school. Just to let people know..

[otterboi26]

it's weird how Duke is griff's brother in this because the same guy plays Mile, Wheels' biological father, in degrassi junior high

[fisteberg]

thanks for the reply;It is a bit older than in france when you enter middle school at eleven usually.

[nohops11]

@JonasBrosFan17 schools r not the same

[smegsyxx8]

its so weird how later all their names change in degrassi junior high

[rhymepays]

BAHAHAHAHA!!!! 4:16

[TheTzdope]

does high school in canada go to a 13th grade?

[Syllacrostics]

@TheTzdope used to

[nohops11]

@TheTzdope well some schools do but some do not it depends on the school p.s iam in canada right now

[NinjaLOL2]

@TheTzdope yea it used too

[Degrassi90210lol]

@TheTzdope not anymore. Nowadays if someone wants to take a 5th year of high school, then they can.

[HarryPotter87]

@TheTzdope A long time ago, but now it's down to 12, just like in the USA. I think they still do it in Europe. My cousin has a friend of Germany who went to h/s thru grade 13. I wish it happened here in America.

"Très jolie" "et moi?" "très magnifique!"it makes me smile when lisa and her friend are asking each other how they look.I am french and their canadian accent is funny.Very fresh episode!

[Syllacrostics]

In Canada, 6th grade is still elementary school, and 7 and 8 are middle school - although a lot of schools have elementary & middle school grades combined. So, they are graduating from garde 6.

[kelseylaraby]

@Syllacrostics actually not all of canada is like that

my elementary school went from kindergarten to grade 8

[ThePinkGreenPencil]

@Syllacrostics Alot of middle schools are 6, 7,8

[ThePinkGreenPencil]

@Syllacrostics Alot of middle schools are 6, 7,8. It could be gr. 5

[lamariposa911]

Is Connie wearing the same yellow dress her aunt gave to her in the episode "Connie makes a Catch"?

[phillydisco]

All those money raising things they did, and they just come up with a yearbook of drawings and a construction paper cover? I thought they must have raised at least $200! Maybe Candy ran off with some of the money, hence his absence by this time.

I don't understand why the grad dance is in their classroom. Didn't the school have a gym?!

Not too many parents showed up. So much for the guilt trip Griff did on Duke. :)

[phillydisco]

This was one of the more memorable stories. A lesson in appreciating the people around you and not taking them for granted because when they're gone it's too late.

[laminage]

Hey guys, do you think that if the actor who played Duke/Mike would have made it on a US Soap Opera? He could have been one of those Blue Collar Guys with a Heart of Gold.

[phillydisco]

Probably. I don't recall seeing the actor in anything else.

[wdsftygt]

im from canada ...I cant believe americans r excited aboot tim hortons -the coffee is excellent but the sandwiches fucken suck

[Syllacrostics]

yeah, they are nasty..

[phillydisco]

I remember the news media frenzy when Tim Hortons decided to change from freshly baked to frozen. It was about 10 years ago.

[bodean137]

@wdsftygt

half of them think tim horton is our prime minister

lol

[bodean137]

i wonder if wheels ever got pissed that joey took his girl whom he cheated on with Tessa Campanelile whom in turned also dated the ugly gorilla cheese sandwich joke kid (dont know how THAT happened lol)

[bakermansam]

so cute at the end when Griff's brother was dancing with the teacher

[jenzeppelin]

:) It's so cool Ohio is getting it! I have a friend in Wisconsin who is patiently waiting for a Timmies to open there. In the meantime, I send her some coffee canisters in the mail, lol. :) :)

[boatofcoins]

ah yes, the awkward keep your distance dance of middle school. so fucking precious.

[Mysterycat74]

Griff's brother looks like a gross 1970's porn star! LOL.

In the episode before this, when Griff was drawing pictures of Lisa at the kitchen table, his brother lectured him about focusing more on his studies. Now in THIS episode he tells him he focuses TOO much on school! Make up your mind, Duke!

[charliecat77]

Rachel the Matron of Degrassi

[jenzeppelin]

I might be the only one, but I don't get the Gorilla Cheese Sandwich joke. Maybe I'm just in a fuzz and need another cup of coffee.

[ludditetina]

King Kong = Gorilla

Gorilla-d sounds like Grilled

o_O lol?

If you have an extra cup of coffee, I'll take it! XD

[jenzeppelin]

Lol! :) I rewatched the episode a couple of nights ago and I was like, "oh! GRILLED!" I caught it instantly!!! Lmao! Yet a week before, I heard the joke a gazillion times and it left me in a foggy cloud of confusion!?

I guess it's all over for me now, lol...I'm getting old and fuzzy...Well considering I'm the same age as some of the Kids of Degrassi, it makes sense! Lol!

Have a Timmies on me! (Tim Hortons coffee, in case you are American and don't know what the heck I mean, lol.) ;)

[oobeastraltravel]

Thanks alot for these episodes. KODS/DJH/DH were the best. I'm sad I did not grow up when it was first around.

[jenzeppelin]

Well, what matters is you've taken the time to watch the originals - and you've even made it all the way to 'The Kids Of Degrassi' - that's awesome! I was lucky enough to be grow up watching Kids, JH and H. I like NG too, but, my favourites are the originals. It's so cool to know people your age are watching all of these, it's great. We watch yours, you watch ours, because, in the end, Degrassi is one of the finest Canadian television series of all time.

[Mysterycat74]

If you did, you'd have no internet, no cable, no cell phones and really poorly made video games. But you WOULD have all that AWFUL 80's fashion!

[oobeastraltravel]

@Mysterycat74 It wouldn't matter back then because I wouldn't know what I would have in the future. It just seems like a fun experience.

[Mysterycat74]

I guess you're right.

[WhoWantsToBeAnMc]

@ 4:20 that's gay!

[sov6rulz]

Griff/Wheels always had the short end of the stick storyline wise

[Mysterycat74]

Yup. And he ended up a drunk driving Murderer! Way to go Wheels!

[Sasuke006]

griff has the saddest life of them all

[HarryPotter87]

@Sasuke006 So did Wheels. 

[mangoluvs]

Was this the series finale of the show?

[sov6rulz]

i believe so.

[timerssarah]

great show!

[bubbaali021]

is that wheels?

[6151RichmondStreet]

Yes, Robin Griffin (Griff) becomes Derrick Wheeler (Wheels) on DJH. A few of the actors went on to play different characters with different families on DJH. Griff - Wheels Rachel - Nancy Benjamin - Scooter Casey - Susie Lisa - Caitlin Pete - Alex Karen - Lucy Connie - Trish (minor role) Billy - Jason (minor role) I'm sure I'm missing some.

[Nine00]

I wonder why they didn't just keep their names the same.

[6151RichmondStreet]

Oh and Griff's brother Duke plays Wheels biological father Mike? in DJH.

[earthpuppy1]

wait,wait,not rick,JT,rick was stupid

[earthpuppy1]

poor kid,I cried when rick died in degrassi:TNG
