Anybody else remember this or the one before it - 'The kids of Degrassi St'? I feel so old http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-MswU3cyoc&mode=related&search=

"Wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely, gee i gotta go to school, I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take it, I wonder what I'm gonna do... But then I look around and see, someone is smiling right at me, some one's talkin to me, hey I got a new friend!"

Fukn LOVED Degrassi, so many issues in it. Like Stephanie running for class president and dressing sluttliy and letting the boys kiss her for votes and ditching her straight edge friends. Cow! And Spike getting preggo and carrying an egg around then going into labour at prom. In Junior High, wah! Just realised, that kid was young! :eek: All those parties and alcohol. *tut tut*

Degrassi taught me about life and love! Hah! Just remembered when that geek kid told mel her eyes were liek "pimming swools". Morto!

Great series. Re-watched all 42 episodes on region 1 DVD over the last couple of years. Think it's getting a release over here soon.

What was the show where the two girls were in a passport photo booth at the start? One was a tomboy the other was always in love with someone.

Used to love the kids of Degrassi street and Degrassi Junior high. I was very young to be watching it though about 7 or 8. Wasn't it a Canadian programme cause for some reason in my mind the characters had Canadian accents!

Nah that was 'Ready or Not' - the girly one was Amanda and the tom-boy one was Busy. All the best shows seemed to be Canadian - eg the littlest Hobo:D

Indeed it was. Forget South Park. Degrassi Junior High first introduced us to the whole "oot and aboot" thing.:D
I was about ten - so shocked at the girl getting pregnant. She was 14 or something.

Was just thinking about this show.Used to be on RTE mid to late 80s.Snakes friend the cocky Italian-ish guy with the hat and Hawaian shirts was a good laugh.Anyone remember the name of the vaguely punkish girl (not Spike) who used to wear a beret?Was in the original series as far as I recall.

I read the thread title and went 'oh yeah, I remember that'. Then I started reading the thread and realised I was thinking of a different programme, Heartbreak High, an Australian TV show of a similar vein.

I just watched the Youtube clip of 'Every rack off from Heartbreak High'.

Anyone remember a US series that seemed to be very influenced by The Degrassi franchise called The Bronx Zoo?Not so sure if it was aimed at teens as it used to be on lateish,it was shown on RTE 2 in the late 80s (88?) seem to remember it running for only one series.It was set,as the title indicated in a tough school in The Bronx NY.
