Degrassi Junior High - Behind the Scenes - "Between Takes" - (Part 1 of 3)

[@gardenglory6624]

my favourite show as a kid. I was severely bullied in school and watching this show after school and so many other amazing Canadian shows....just made me feel so much better about how shitty my life was. I felt like this show and all these kids were my friends ...WHEN I had NO friends at all. I always had this show to turn too and it was my comfort.

[@irememberla6460]

I loved the original Degrassi as I grew up with it... The new one just isn't the same or maybe I am just older lol! Thanks for posting

[@OLDSKOOLSNIP3R]

Did you know there was a show before junior high? Its called the kids of degrassi street from the 70s!

[@Sati1979]

One of the best shows ever.

[@RemyLanslots]

And a little over 22 years later, I'm watching this right now! And you know what? Degrassi still rocks! Too bad I was only 1 when this aired... :(

[@KeKe4Christ]

As I watch the 80s show I honestly didn’t know it was a show when I first found it, it seems so natural and like they said they didn’t have a makeup crew, they did their own hair and makeup, makes it look more real. This show was so ahead of it’s time. I’d like to thank everyone this show is so good and I relate to it in some ways too

[@j-rschmoove]

Great show. Literally one of the best shows I watched as a child. I love Degrassi.

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

These kids worked their butts off. I wish they could have made some money from it, like the shows today.

[@emo_na_lisa]

Whaaat 😮 they didn’t get paid to literally work on a show?? That doesn’t even make sense is that for real cus that’s super fucked up if it is ://

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

@@emo_na_lisa They got paid Canadian T.V scale which isn't much, especially in the 1980's.

[@emo_na_lisa]

@@JoeyArmstrong2800 ooh okay i see what you mean , damn thats definitely unfair tho they did so much for so little😭😓

[@KeKe4Christ]

Hi! I just discovered all of this Degrassi stuff and I am learning a lot! So they never got paid or they just got paid very little? Either way it’s ridiculously unfair because I read the popularity of this show was like Beatlemania, they deserve to be paid even now!

[@Sati1979]

@angeepangeed3 Definitely - I would love to watch a reunion show with all the original Degrassi cast. Such a shame that Neil Hope won't ever be a part of it. RIP.

[@eskimofreek]

Thanks for uploading this. I love this show so much and its really interesting to see all the actors "behind the scenes".

[@Wildcrazygirl17]

I love this degrasi grew up with it love it absolutely the best

[@redlightmax]

Thanks for watching this. I loved this show growing up, and I just found out that PBS has some full episodes on their KZbin channel. Nostalgiagasm!

[@finallimits1]

Aw Melanie and Kathleen adorable.

[@princesslittaandalasia8220]

I absolutely salute this show and when my children are in middle school and high school so, we can have discussion about issues. The same issues back then are many of the issues today with the exception to the extreme with technology.

[@linzzyy]

Hearing recently about Neil Hope's unfortunate & questionable death has given me such an urge to watch all things Degrassi. Thanks for posting this Behind the Scenes video!

[@jaykaye7025]

Great actors , much love and respect from England

[@blondsdoitbetta]

I love this show so much.

[@dralbertpakin8895]

My favorite show growing up as a kid. After this ended then I got hooked on 90210. All where basically after school specials but still great shows. I just didn't like how they ended Degrassi. I think they could have made it a bit more positive then the way it was.

[@princesslittaandalasia8220]

Many of these preteens are dealing with more issue with cyber bulling, sex texting, video taping with cell phone, no real personal contact because of the use of technology. As a teenager growing up this show was the best it help me understand so many situations at school.

[@KeKe4Christ]

I kind of hate that I just now discovered the world of Degrassi, I mean yea I wasn’t born during this era or even when the new show came out but still it’s so good, way better than anything on tv even today. I’m becoming obsessed with the 80s show.

[@FacebookQueen]

Wish it was more like this now :)

[@theeunborn]

this is amazing, thank you so so so much!

[@jenn8459]

That's a lotta hairspray in that room😅

[@joanna7350]

I loved this show as a kid and still love it. Fuck SBTB, this show was way better and way more realistic.

[@SaffChaos]

...then Degrassi High was 3rd, and Degrassi The New Generation was 4th. This newest season is just called Degrassi, and the episode numbers started back to 1, so I think it might be the 5th.

[@laminage]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I remember watching this in my 20's. Oh, here's another fun fact. The lady who is wearing the White Sweater and Glasses is Mitra Sen who worked as a Security Guard at The Mall when Lucy & Voula were caught Shoplifting.

[@SodaVampire]

i saw some Degrassi High t-shirts in Hot Topic a week ago! i wanted to buy it so bad, but i had no moneys....

[@Sapphires1985]

Amazing yay Canada represent!

[@shazzanrevilla7516]

fantastic

[@SaffChaos]

actually, "The Kids Of Degrassi Street" was the ORIGINAL series. Then Degrassi Jr High, Degri

[@cherrybomb1386]

I remember when I was little I thought Degrassi was real school and these kids were real students

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Got to love a character named bacon lettuce and tomato

[@reclaimerReclaimer]

My crush back then was always Alexa (Irene Courakos), a pity she was never really a lead character only support of sorts.

[@AllyieSykes]

LOL! Snake looks so funny :D

[@laminage]

You know what's kind of sad. This was the Episode where Shane played by Bill Parrott took Acid, Jumped or Fell off of a Bridge and was brain damaged for life.

[@MrTopsoil911]

Maureen Mckayaka Michelle will.always be my jr ur crush. Luv ya Ms Mckay

[@arricammarques1955]

Filmed with 16mm ARRI SR.

[@SaffChaos]

@weirdscience85 Assorted "technicalities" regarding the "correct" defining of where one Degrassi show ends and the next begins, as well as whether or not "The Kids of Degrassi St. is or is not the "Pluto" of the DegrassiVerse, are not important enough to incite trivial arguments. Apparently it's a matter of opinion. BTW, I'm not uninformed, as u imply. I have DVD sets from multiple generations of Degrassi, and all but the latter half of "KoDS" which re-aired briefly on Nickelodeon in the 90s

[@mikey7619]

" who is that women at 9:06 ??? " She played one of the clerks at the shoppers drug mart where joey went to buy condoms in the "great expectations" episode

[@mikey7619]

watch at 19:30 of this episode and you'll see the same woman

[@jasonGS76]

Thats my aunt, mitra sen she created the peace tree, google it

[@jasonGS76]

Jason Gupta Also she is the assistant director of degrassi junior high seasond 2 and 3.

[@adamcairns8304]

She was the security guard when lucy and vula shoplift

[@Hanson97]

@SodaVampire They also sale them on the Hot Topic website. I too wanted one!!! :)

[@junkboxxxxxx]

BLT&Michelle, and Simon&Alexa, were the only couples that were allowed to shag each other without being punished by Fate for it.
