it certainly put things into perspective for me given the bullying i went through in most of my schooling.I follow a lot of anti bullying campaigns on radio and for companies like supre(i am australian) and what joey and a lot of us went through there and in some cases real life should not be happening.
I get the feeling the writers and producers purposely softened the character after the pilot episode to be less of a bully and a jerk to be more of a loveable slacker and schemer because if they continued with his character being such a jerk like this it would have been really hard for fans to root for him.
LiveFree&LoveForever That always confused me. Stephanie wore outfits that would have gotten her tossed out of my school, and so did Manny later in TNG. Does Canada not have very strict dress codes in schools?!
Is it weird that I like this better than tng or any other version of degrassi. This is so wholesome and there's only a handful of characters so you can easily keep up with what's happening. Plus it tackled so many important topics like aids and teenage pregnancy without being too dramatic idk I just love it. I'm so grateful it's uploaded here.
Oh wow! Thank you to whomever decided to allow these episodes to be posted. I do hope the trend continues. I do think it's perfectly acceptable that old episodes get posted from the official channel.
Although I rolled my eyes at many of the episodes back in the day, it's good to know this show hasn't been forgotten. It passes the time away and brings back some funny memories.
kayla4702 Yeah, they basically recycled characters/plot lines from DJH/DH in DTNG. I didn't know until I watched all the episodes and put two and two together.
I just finished watching this (It's my first time seeing the retro Degrassi) & I realized as soon as I saw Steph doing that. Not so surprising that TNG repeated some elements of the first. The lessons from the older ones are even more applicable now & history repeats itself. I think it kinda adds to the charm & shows what's great about the series
Gerry Keenan I've watched all of next class, watched season 1-6 and watching 7 now. All in three weeks. Thought I should watch something different to break up the mix
No one actually does this -- it's for the movies -- for effect and ease of choreography. When I'm in the bathroom and need to put my bag/purse down, I use paper towel on the counter as most women do. Don't believe everything you see, especially on screen.
Lol the old Degrassi some you young generation never knew they had this old version out way before the new generation Degrassi this Degrassi is what I grew up on DAM I'm 43 now how time fly 💯👌🏾
i only discovered the show by default in the nineties when it was reran by the ABC around 1995/1996.was quietly dropped in 1997 when they got the rights to heartbreak high from 10 which was like it's CANADIAN COUNTERPART WITHOUT AARON SPELLING BACKING.
I heard about it and looked it up and decided that I wanted to start here, from the beginning. I don't like starting things in the middle and since Degrassi High is sorta continued from this I decided to start with this.
"Purple and blue, you know we'll be true, Bringing victory and honour to your name..." This has to be the only time we ever hear the Degrassi Junior High school song.
Her attitude towards 7th graders stunk.she saw them as less important.you watch a home grown australian soap set in melbourne or sydney you see them all get along at 7th and 8th grade level no ifs or buts.
franz chong lol yeah. i grew up in the u.s so i assumed it was a canadian thing? but high school upperclassmen here do look down upon freshman in a similar way
I bought the whole season on iTunes a long time ago. FYI, they never had HD in the mid 80's... Also Emma Nelson's (from TNG) real father kissed Stephanie Kaye. So there's that.
NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY I GET TO WATCH THE WAY OLDER DEGRASSI EPISODES! BLESS
nessa I know right paying respect
nessa OMG😱 I also watch the degrassi know next class and watching this is just Mind BLOWING😱😱😱😱😱👁👄👁
Brittani Andrews No way to find it.
nessa is this the first episode of degrassi? Like...ever?
nessa I can't believe this is where it all started. After this you have degrassi high,degrassi next generation, and degrassi next class
16:38 the first “soary” in the history of degrassi
It's only the first episode and one girl has already given herself a "Manny Makeover."
Nicholas Wetzel manny santos syndrome is highly contageous
No Manny gave herself a Stephanie makeover
It's the system.
Who knew?
Lmao 😂
Joey trying to flirt is so cringey I'm dying. If a guy tried that on me I'd laugh.
SmellamyBlake he's the biggest perv
Stephanie taking the credit from her best friend reminds me of Ashley and Liberty.
me spotting Spike in the backgrounds and fangirling.
I feel so bad for Snake 😭 no one paid attention to him for his little presidential campaign
Haha seeing Joey as a bully is definitely new to me
it certainly put things into perspective for me given the bullying i went through in most of my schooling.I follow a lot of anti bullying campaigns on radio and for companies like supre(i am australian) and what joey and a lot of us went through there and in some cases real life should not be happening.

Did anyone else expect the whatever it takes song ?
Steph looks like she's about to sing backup for Prince.
I love how these KIDS were KIDS. Not everyone the same. GOD I love this show!!
joey and that damn hat
joey: "it's cool! trust me."
craig: "i'm not sure i want to."
Fedora
JT was wearing that hat in the pilot for Next Generation
No wonder he got bald. XD
joeY IS SO SMALL I CAN'T
Ikr!
😂
Midget boy, at your service
well now we know where the inspiration for manny came from
We couldn't even wear spaghetti straps at my high school but they get to dress like that in middle school?! WTF!!
BlessedAngelDiamond like eli goldsworthy said. "Welcome to degrassi"
LiveLong&LoveForever facts
LiveFree&LoveForever That always confused me. Stephanie wore outfits that would have gotten her tossed out of my school, and so did Manny later in TNG. Does Canada not have very strict dress codes in schools?!
LiveFree&LoveForever i wear spaghetti straps in hs all the time, i havent gotten dress-coded yet haha
Lisa Marie that was the 80s I've heard there was a dress code back then
Is it weird that I like this better than tng or any other version of degrassi. This is so wholesome and there's only a handful of characters so you can easily keep up with what's happening. Plus it tackled so many important topics like aids and teenage pregnancy without being too dramatic idk I just love it. I'm so grateful it's uploaded here.
Stephanie looks a WHOLE mess
Star ik her hair is like.. no it’s not doing it for me. 🤣
Oh wow! Thank you to whomever decided to allow these episodes to be posted. I do hope the trend continues. I do think it's perfectly acceptable that old episodes get posted from the official channel.
Daleylife this isn't really the official channel pbs has no commercial type things
Well damn, how old is Mr. Radich supposed to be??
Makaiah s ikr lmaoo 💀💀💀
Makaiah s like 50-60???
Probably in his 30s or 40s
OMFG IT’S LITTLE JOEY!!!!!! OMFG I CANNOT HANDLE THIS!!!!! OMFG JOEY FRICKIN JEREMIAH!!!!!
Imagine the boys didn’t vote for Stephanie and just wanted a kiss
I would’ve been weak
Joey is literally the cutest kid alive
PRINCIPAL SIMPSONNNN AND JOEY THIS IS SO FUNNY
I've always wanted to watch degrassi junior high so this is great
Just finished watching Degrassi Next Class, now back to Degrassi Junior High. So nostalgic.
Curly and wavy hair really ruled the 80's
THOSE WALKIE TALKIE ANTENNAS. the complete opposite of subtle. i love it. 😂
When dress codes didn't exist
Joey Jeremiah is bald now😂
student government never has that much control
in Degrassi lore student council has more power than most prime ministers
I never would've felt comfortable with that much attention.
That moment when you realize several seasons later that Ali took Stephs "Wearing actual outfit under disguise parent approved outfit" thing
Oh Snake and the guitar after Stephs speech 🤣
Teryn Flanagan lmao that was him??😂
If she's in grade 8...why is she still missing teeth 😫
And plus it was the 80s kids now a days are more developed at certain ages
I’m 25 and I still have baby teeth 🤷🏻♀️
im 29 going on 30 i dont have my baby teeth any more
Morgan Stafford bish whet 🤣
Victoria Caviar right got a whole shape and is filling out with missing teeth
Although I rolled my eyes at many of the episodes back in the day, it's good to know this show hasn't been forgotten. It passes the time away and brings back some funny memories.
Snake was the cutest things ever
Yass
wtf did i just watch she kissed literally every boy
I never got kiss in Jr. High. Not even for a vote.
It was on the cheek relax lol
Franny B, it’s the intent/concept/underlying meaning.
Learn. ‘lol’
szik Actually she didn't kiss anyone lol
Jelani Armstrong 😂
You call her Stephanie... I call her hefanie
Headfanie
Lollll
I call her Bitchanie!
Aye!
Skye Lee Jennings Dats madd dayroom.
That walkie talkie is totally undercover 😂
*sarcasm*
Haha Stephanie reminds me of Manny!
kayla4702 Yeah, they basically recycled characters/plot lines from DJH/DH in DTNG. I didn't know until I watched all the episodes and put two and two together.
Oh yeah I remember that episode when she had the thongs on
Yeahhhhhh
I just finished watching this (It's my first time seeing the retro Degrassi) & I realized as soon as I saw Steph doing that. Not so surprising that TNG repeated some elements of the first. The lessons from the older ones are even more applicable now & history repeats itself. I think it kinda adds to the charm & shows what's great about the series
kayla4702 or Ashley
Arthur is SO ADORABLE.
I just finished ALL of the next generation and now i’m here
Gerry Keenan I've watched all of next class, watched season 1-6 and watching 7 now. All in three weeks. Thought I should watch something different to break up the mix
OMG is this the first degrassi EVER????
Order of the series:
Kids of degrassi street
Degrassi Junior high
Degrassi high
Degrassi the next generation
Degrassi next class
@@TheArmyBelle forgot degrassi XD
Pre Med Princess Ugh ty I kept getting confused
I love to see the live without cellphones and social media 😂
SHE WAS BEING SEXUALLY HARASSED AND HAD NO CLUE.
babd71 😂
How was she sexually assaulted
babd71 nah she invited that attention, she consented to those boys kissing her
I literally just finished binge watching the entire djh and dh series in 144p quality a few weeks ago... Whyyyyyyyy
artificialcow Sameeeeeee. Time to rewatch I guess.
SAME
where can i watch the kids of degrassi street
Zero Cool 480p?
Chris oh why are you on here aswell.
why do girls often put their bags in the bathroom sink?? i think that's gross, is that just me?
No one actually does this -- it's for the movies -- for effect and ease of choreography. When I'm in the bathroom and need to put my bag/purse down, I use paper towel on the counter as most women do. Don't believe everything you see, especially on screen.
i always put my bag in the sink ahaha who cares
Stephanie's makeup tho...
DHDaily H. its so eighties i love it
Joey and Spike are so small omggg😭..
I remember this being on pbs 1987. The continuation of degrassi street
finally! I just finished next gen and next class and I've felt lost without Degrassi
My health teacher in junior high made us watch this and I loved it. It’s time to re watch!
Lol the old Degrassi some you young generation never knew they had this old version out way before the new generation Degrassi this Degrassi is what I grew up on DAM I'm 43 now how time fly 💯👌🏾
Hustle4theMoney I started watching this before.I started watching degrassi tng and I'm 16 😂 I found an episode randomly and suddenly got addicted.
Unicorn Baby same
i only discovered the show by default in the nineties when it was reran by the ABC around 1995/1996.was quietly dropped in 1997 when they got the rights to heartbreak high from 10 which was like it's CANADIAN COUNTERPART WITHOUT AARON SPELLING BACKING.

This reminds me of when Ashley ran for school president, with Toby and JT. Similarities, lol.
At the 15 minute mark. First the teacher says the assignment it due Thursday morning, then after the announcement he says Tuesday at 3....
And the school doesn't have a dress code?
Linnea Landerdahl apparently not
it's a fictitious high school.it's their equivalent of say erinsborough high or sweet valley high or hartley high or summer bay high.
Linnea Landerdahl 😔 😒😒
Way too many ads for such a short episode.
Caitlin's style is so cool. I only wish I could pull it off..
Omg when she put the head band on her hair looked like Ashley’s in season one of Degrassi next generation
This is such a good surprise.
throwback to when students in tv were played by actual students
steph isn’t that pretty with all that makeup on and stuff tbh
When you notice Liz before her Chelsea cut and before she was supposed to even be at Degrassi 🤔
I watched this as a teen... Loved it! Too bad some characters left after the first year
iremember la it's also too bad not all of them, like Stephanie, and LD, never came back in TNG.
"Purple and blue, you know we'll be true,
Bringing victory and honour to your name..."
This has to be the only time we ever hear the Degrassi Junior High school song.
Susie=Liberty
A Stupid add every 2 mins is frustrating.
Just means that the publisher of these videos is making mad bank as the kids would say
Darryl Hutchings better than paying tho
*sings*
ADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD BLOCK.
Facts
Is it ok for me to admit how much of a Degrassi Addict I was in the 80's.😁😁😘😘😘
I was born in the mid 90's, and in french there's was a year in the 00' where they decided to air the old series. It was so good!
2003 from memory nickelodeon showed it again.so many memories.
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
Stephanie’s missing teeth looks craaaazy!
need dome more ad's on there bud.. jeez every 2 minutes a bit extreme
BILLSTMAXX the episodes on pbs don't have all the commercials
Awh I remember when I was in 8th grade I thought I was so grown up too. Now I’m 20 years old and feel like a child still.
i finished degrassi next gen a while ago, and i’m so excited to get obsessed w this show too
I was debating if I wanted to start all over and I made my decision *I'm starting over 🤣🤣☺
This is awesome ☺️
Starting off strong with literal middle school prostitution as the subject of the first episode
I've grown up with this show! For some reason watching it again cuz my daughter is going into jr high in a few days! lol
This was the 1980's. The kids back then were more mature and more safe than 2010's kids.
Also, this was 31 years ago!
i ran out of new degrassi to watch and didn't know what to do with my life... here we go.
Did she really have to walk around lookin like she dont ever brush her hair smh😂😂
Norma Grieves HAIRSPRAY WAS BIG BACK IN THE 80'S. THE BIGGER THE HAIR, THE BETTER.
ITS SO EIGHTIES I LOVE IT
Big hair was the style
First time watching all the old episodes! Imagine if this came out today? Lol
i always wake up shy and lonely...
Her friend is so cute! The girl. I can't catch her name. She's so sweet and kind and smart!
Is it Vola?
pusheenmyluck ! Voula, I think
Where are their teeth? Lack of dentists back then in Canada ??? Lmao
00:40 if she see you and she dont speak, that means she dont fwy😂😂
First time watching the first degrassi I grew up on degrassi the next generation its refreshing to watch the old ones
Groundbreaking show! Now I want them from beginning up to TNG on dvd or digitally w/out ads 😃😎👍
Omg joey!
HIS FEDORA
ahh finally all the older episodes in one place!!!! IMPEACH STEPHANIE KAYE
Her attitude towards 7th graders stunk.she saw them as less important.you watch a home grown australian soap set in melbourne or sydney you see them all get along at 7th and 8th grade level no ifs or buts.
franz chong lol yeah. i grew up in the u.s so i assumed it was a canadian thing? but high school upperclassmen here do look down upon freshman in a similar way
The fact that Canadians cant watch the later seasons is just so sad. Please help us out!!!
Natasha O ikr it sucks i was so mad when i saw it was blocked here i was really mad
Clémence Marie which seasons
Daja Harvey it's not blocked anymore
I bought the whole season on iTunes a long time ago. FYI, they never had HD in the mid 80's...
Also Emma Nelson's (from TNG) real father kissed Stephanie Kaye. So there's that.
folger1 when, which one
I was conflicted between watching the originals or rewatching next generations after finishing it a few years ago. Guess I’m doing the former.
Thank u for uploading these.
We don't get any death in the series until Degrassi high
true but this series was groundbreaking in many ways.it was one of the first to tackle a lot of modern day teen issues before the rest of us.
Little girl's hair, though. The "woke up like this" look lmao.
I've seen DEGRASSI: TNG and Next Class, so I can't wait to see where they began.
thank you for helping me relive my childhood
i literally bought the dvd and it arrived on monday and now today you uploaded these, what a coincidence 😏😏 i love it though!! ahaha
Stefanie Kaye was the key character in season 1 and don’t know why she was not in season 2?
