This is a great countdown, well done! Most ppl dont know about the original degrassi. What other shows cover the issues that Degrassi has cover over the years! Honestly before I saw DTNG I saw Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High! Pregnacy, Drugs, Petalifes, Homosexually... A ground breaking show for sure!
Ehmigawd! #17 is sad! Why is he so mean to her?! I'm only 13 and have only seen "Degrassi: The Next Generation" but I REALLY want to buy the boxed set for "Degrassi High"
The old Degrassi show is so much more authentic and interesting then the new degrassi in my opinion. Maybe it's the nostalgia of rewatching these episodes but I can't even watch the new degrassi although I love that snake and spike are on it the feel is just is not the same.
I have to admit...14. Stressed Out is a great episode all...but I think I really liked it just because of that scene. It was such a cute scene. I can't believe so many people are watching these videos!
Too bad they show the famous part where Scott pulls Kathleen's hair for being late, which lead to more abusive episodes and classic abusive relationship situations.
wait wait wait!!...so degrassi started all the waay back then?///then the characters grew up and had babies...then the series continued?....its still good any wayy...it gets to u...i feel like i can connect.
Wow I almost forgotten how Degrassi addressed some really deep issues. I use to love watching this show...heck, I wanna watch all the old episodes now :D
You're in luck, they are all here on YT - just search "Degrassi Junior High" and "Degrassi High." I've been watching them over and over and over again since I found them. We even have "The Kids of Degrassi," the one from the early 80's. Search. Enjoy!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
Too bad Epitome Productions and CTV are not making any efforts to bring bread and butter characters like Joey Jeremiah, Mr. Raditch, and Caitlin Ryan back to Degrassi TNG.
One thing I love to see in Degrassi TNG is see Joey Jeremiah and Caitlin Ryan get their romance fires rekindled with no hindrances whatsoever, and then see them get married once and for all.
If Caitlin and Joey were to get married, that would be a true Degrassi classic in the making.
i feel so bad for the girl who played kathleen.... she was dated raped by her bf and real life and she plays kathleen whos mom is alcholic, she devolpes anoxoria and then scott beats her...
i cant believe it, i used to watch these all the time.but now they dont come on tv anymore.....only the next generation :( but those are still fun to watch :).
Only Stefan Brogren (Archie "Snake" Simpson) and Amanda Stepto (Christine "Spike" Nelson) are original Degrassi characters left on Degrassi: TNG.
Now that Pasquale "Pat" Mastroianni (Joey Jeremiah), Dan Woods (Mr. Raditch), and Stacey Mistysyn (Caitlin Ryan), the characters who made the show what it is are gone, I think Degrassi: TNG will definitely go downhill.
I watched the Degrassi series religiously when I was a teenager, and its a sin that Joey Jeremiah is not in Degrassi shows anymore.
Actually, Archie Simpson is not Emma's father, but is her step-father.
Emma's biological father is Shane McKay, whom suffered serious head and bodily injuries from jumping off the bridge, no thanks to Luke Matthews supplying him with LSD (acid).
Emma only visited her biological father once during Degrassi TNG.
snake spike caitlin joey wheels allison lucy and some other people are all from the original series. the also are portrayed by the same people who played them in the 80's
When I was a little boy living in England this show was a hit, then we moved to Australia and guess what? This show was a hit LOL, looking at it now days its like a pre 90210
To BlackNoir: Yes that is the one where Shane comes back retarded but that isn't the reason it's called "It Creeps!" The reason it is called that is because that is the same episode that Lucy makes a horror movie called "It Creeps!" So thats why.
Out of all these, the episode I remembered the most was #15 when wheels got harassed. I didn't understand what child molestation was until I saw that episode. It was disturbing. Yet it opened my eyes....
its funny how Kathleen and Elly both live in the same house- and their mothers were both alocoholics. Same for Jimmy and Lucy, both of whom's parents were never at home
ok #18 it creeps is CREEPY lol you get it ........no you dont anyways #17 nobodys perfect is sad and scary and #15 is hot gross and plain wierd all at the same time
Degrassi is number one, when it comes down to school shows.. It had a message that we all could relate too. Not like the snobbish rich kids of Beverly Hills 90210. Degrassi kept it real!! Salute to all Degrassi Fans!!
episode 16 reminds me of my dad...
