Does anyone else think they tried really hard to fashion JT York after Joey Jeremiah? Of course they fell short because there will only ever be ONE Joey Jeremiah!!!
@Degrassi90210lol Actually it was right before Lucy filmed this. Joey had to put on a happy face so he could do this with his friends. Joey is my favorite Degrassi character OF ALL TIME!!!!
am i imagining it or was there two versions of this, one as the zits and one as the zit remedy? i think the other was.. um.. more grunge/garage punk... or am i having flash backs to a non-existent tv memory?
How come they never explained what happened to all the kids after they graduated? I mean, I saw the movie school's out or whatever it was called, but whatever happened to Wheels? Lucy? Snake? All our favorites? All they gave us was a little episode in TNG and that was it.
Little episode? Hardly... Lucy came back a number of times. Wheels reconciled with Snake after all the mess from School's Out in the episode "Should I stay or Should I go", in order to bring closure to the character.
Currently, Snake is the freaking Principal (Plus Stef Brogren is the Exec producer) in TNG and married to Spike (who was last seen at Emma and Spinner's wedding).
If you liked this song as a kid you are probably still lame. If you just put up with it because there was nothing else on TV except the golden girls then youre OK.
A jam I play in guitar and or bass to get friends to smile and cheer up :) Always works. We are all in our 30's now and grew up with the show and so this song and show were a huge part of our lives. Especially as Canadians :)
@LilLadi08 wow thats cool,that was the best thing about degrassi,they dealed with real life issues and werent afraid to push the envelope,which is more than i can say for shows these days
I see the quote, "that was the best degrassi series". I think maybe second, the first 5 or 6 seasons of 'The Next Generation' was the best in my opinion. The whole school shooting thing did it for me. Just an opinion though.
I love that they included this song in Degrassi TNG a few times. It's so incredible to get to watch these characters grow up with you. Used to teach me a lot, too.
I watched all the episodes of Degrassi Jr. High/High and then I went back and rewatched episoded of Next Generation where the original cast members guest starred. It was so cool to see them older. Especially with the first episode of Next Generation, all the story lines at the reunion made so much more sense.
I would mostly agree. What I liked about the original Degrassi is that the producers knew when to call it quits. They didn't bring in a whole new cast to keep Degrassi going. But Next Generation touched more on things like school shootings and sexuality which wasn't as big in the orignal series.
I do think though that the storyline of Kathleen and her abusive boyfriend, Scott was way better than Terri and her abusive boyfriend, Rick.
omg where can i see the old degrassi on tv!!??i was born in the late 90's sooo as you guess i pretty much grew up wachting degrassi tng,but i wanna see degrassi junior high&high sooo badly!!..btw..omg joey with hairr!!!!lol sorry;)
They should put this back on tv for younger viewers 'cause when this was originally broadcasted I wasn't even born! I would love to see every single Degrassi Series and Episode ever made!
wooooooow, just wow, and for the longest time i thought the zits was a rad name for a punk band, i could totally see snake on lead vocals in a punk band. lol
Actually the Zits have a pretty decent song (considering they were only junior high students). Not the best singers by a long shot, but quite a spirited performance and video. Too bad they didn't have any other songs.
me too, it's seriously addicting. but if you haven't checked out the original Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High, I recommed doing so. At first, it seems kind of cheesy but it's totally engrossing. plus it's cool (and a little weird) seeing Spike, Snake, and Joey as Jr. Highers and High Schoolers. :)
I wish I had recorded this when it was on. I recalled it coming on PBS and we didn't have it on cable network at the time. We had to switch ot to UHF. Such an ancient time ago. I was bascically their age when the show was on. good times.
Stuck in my head all. Freaking. Day.
