Anyone Else Watch Degrassi?

[thegame415]

I was a big fan of TNG. Got out of the show when most of the cast left, but started watching again during season 10.

Who are your favorite characters? Seasons?

I always felt a soft spot for Toby if just because he was the only character who didn't get shoved down the viewer's throats or made too glamorous like the rest of the cast did.

Season 2 still stands out to me as being a good balance of little plotlines and dramatic stuff. Season 3 to a lesser degree, but after that the show became all about DRAMA and lost the charm of being a fun little Canadian production.

Season 4 especially was way too much Emma and Craig, which didn't work as the former's an unbearable jerk and the latter a complete dumbass.

Stopped watching when most of the TNG cast left and after the last movie where Emma and Spinner have the most random wedding ever. They barely interacted throughout the series, and then all of a sudden "I SUDDENLY REALLY LOVE YOU. LET'S GET MARRIED!".

Oh, and I've always liked this:

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

Watched it until the TNG cast left.

To this day one of the most conflicting character changes for me was when Manny became slutty.

On one hand I vastly prefer the naive pre-slut Manny. On the other hand.....my younger self REALLY liked the outfits Cassie Steele was wearing as Slut Manny.

This. I stuck around until the end of the first half of season 11, but around that point, I started to realize how stupid the show was becoming. Connor stealing the teacher's underwear was a major contributing factor...

Season 11, part 2 turned me off to it completely.

I find the original late 80s/early 90s to be better, though that's not to say TNG was bad. Also, Drake will always be Wheelchair Jimmy.

[Wolf Hurricane]

Only watched TNG, although I have wanted to see Degrassi High. My fave season's would probably be the first five, particularly two. I too have a big soft spot for Toby; had one for Kendra too, always wondered what happened to her.

I loved the original, liked TNG for the most part. After around the time Craig came back and had a nervous breakdown, I tuned out.

[thegame415]

I'm actually a fan of the whole Eli/Clare relationship. I agree with a post about Connor stealing underwear.

I think the Adam character is really interesting in the newer episodes. They're doing so e groundbreaking stuff that not a lots people are aware of.

[Throwback]

First episode I watch of TNG was the school shooting episode where Jimmy got shot

Stopped watching when Spinner thought he had ball cancer. I don't even know if he ever found out. I saw him beat the crap out of some dude (I think the friend of the guy that killed JT) then I never watched again.


Watched all of The kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Jr and Degrassi high multiple times though

Agreed on all accounts. Also, add me to the list who will forever think of Drake as Wheelchair Jimmy.

[greatmuta]

It peaked for me after Rick shot up the school and I stopped watching soon after that. I never got into the newer characters after the originals left.

I still watch it and I still enjoy it.

[blackmegaman]

Was I the only one who thought that when Alex reveled she was a lesbian when she kissed that came out of absolutely nowhere ?

[fw91]

still watch it and still solid but not great as it once was, Eli is the only good charachter/actor these days. Best seasons were 3-5 imo. It "jumped the shark" imo in season 6 when JT died and Craig left.
like to pretend Spinner/Emma thing never happened

[fw91]

but i will say this. this wave of charchters looks better than the Holly J era

[Deleted]

There was a time when I was REALLY into this show. Not to a creepy level, but it was basically my favorite non-wrestling show. And I was basically in love with Stacey Farber (Ellie), so much so that I wrote her a letter and sent it to Canada.

I never heard back. But yeah. That's like... the closest I ever got to the weird, obsessive internet people I come across and hate.

The last episode I can remember watching was the one where the basketball coach tries to get that one kid laid with a prostitute.

when did you write the letter? early emo pierced out freak Ellie wasn't much of a looker imo, but later on Craig's Drummer/College Ellie was hot

Fall in and out when me and my brother feel the need for some Canadian melodrama
