Hmmm, I watched Degrassi on PBS in 1987 and my entire town was hooked. So, Pat is wrong to think kids didnt watch the show until the 90s. We would watch it like a soap opera and we would talk about it all over the playground. Our PBS station had Doctor Who and Degrassi in El Paso Texas, KCOS Channel 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pat has such a sincere, good natured temperament. He said it in the video but it's true, I'm so glad his character was influential in my childhood as a sign of stability and kindness (I was watching in 2000s so I had full circle step-dad Joey to watch as well). He even sent a kind message with a package from some merch, I'll always appreciate him!

I watched the old 80s Degrassi while I've been sick. I used to love as a kid they put the whole series on youtube, it was fkin good, for a teen drama show which I would never watch today. I thought it was really awesome, great characters, that dark gritty 80s style, I sort of like how no one was really a good guy or villain every different character had their faults and their good moments, and for 80s Canadian TV there were really some disturbing moments but it was awesome!!

Degrassi High was most definitely popular in the late 80s. Although I was too young to be interested in it at the time, I was fully aware of the show through all the commercials and older kids on my bus talking about last night's episode. Degrassi is just something that even if you didn't watch it, you knew somebody who did 🇨🇦.
