"According to the official Degrassi website, there were 3 Seasons of Degrassi Junior High & 2 Seasons of Degrassi High. We may have our own thinking of how the seasons went, but that's how the Producers made it.
As a teen growing up in the 80's in the US, I watched Degrassi all the time on PBS and followed the gang since i was in the same grades as they were. I followed all the way through the end. They may seem old and a bit odd now, but the topics are totatlly relevant to teens anytime. I grew up also in the 90210 area, and as much as i loved that show as well, Degrassi really focused on topics that teens would deal with, popularity, siblings, suicide, etc.
A must see for parents and kids! They don't spare anything or make it look cute and it's not always solved at the end of each episode."
Out of the way with Stephanie Kay!

"I'm in my early 20's, so I didn't really watch Degrassi Junior High when it was on. But my boyfriend, whom prior to this DVD being released would go on and on about how much he loved the show, exposed me to this show. At first I laughed and said "Why do you like this cheesy kid stuff?". Honestly, alot of the acting and settings are hoakey...but then there's honest human drama that we can all relate to, and you get the sensation of peeking into a real school.
The show was very grass rootsy and you can tell by the quality. But I believe that is what adds to the charm and why so many people relate to it. This show was a trailblazer and I'm happy that Canada produced this gem. I really like this show and I can't wait for Degrassi High to come out. I need to find out what happens to these kids!"
I just got into it 20 years too late ,but, I still love it.

"I looked into it after hearing kevin smith rave about it on so many different occasions, I had never really given much thought to buying it ,as it is 90 bucks on amazon, but then I found the dvd collection in a half price book, movie and record store for 50 bucks. so, I picked it up and I was thoroughly engrossed in the many different stories. if you havn't seen it by now then you probablly won't ,ever, but you should it is really great ."
Yeah, when is the Degrassi High DVD coming!!!!!

"I can't wait for them to release the Degrassi High series on DVD either, and they're certainly taking their sweet time doing it, too! Let's go, already!
The Junior High Series is timeless, and I've seen some Degrassi High on VHS and they just get better and better.
I can't find any information on a release date for Degrassi High (DVD), so I hope they plan on doing it. If they bothered to release Degrassi Junior High, then I would hope they'd continue to do so. Somebody please post anything they know about this so that the Degrassi Fans can have something to look forward to!"
