The long-running, multiple award-winning series follows the characters in a soap opera-type format as they endure the pangs of transitioning from childhood to adulthood.

Ahhh..the good ole days when kids could safely roam all over the city by themselves. I miss these old shows This is great! Thank you for sharing!

I’m so happy y’all started posting these episodes

[@abellabarbie]

Omg. I thought the '80s one was the original.

[@nellywilliams2776]

Nope. It starts with Kids of Degrassi, Degrassi Jr High, Degrassi High, Degrassi the Next Generation, and everything else after

[@wiscorpio72]

@@nellywilliams2776 the first episode was in 1979 so that was 70s.

Well, no and yes. If you mean "Degrassi Junior High", then on one hand no, it wasn't the first Degrassi series created and televised. That one premiered in 1987, while "Kids of Degrassi Street" premiered in 1979 and went on through the early or mid 80s. At the same time, on the other hand, "Kids of Degrassi Street" is not really part of the Degrassi canon (Degrassi Junior High, Degrassi High, Next Generation, etc..) It's in a separate universe, and the other TV shows that follow belong to another separate universe. In fact, from what I've heard and read and from what little I've seen (up to now I've seen fewer than three episodes), several of the future Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High actors and actresses either guest-starred or were co-starred as series regulars on Kids of Degrassi Street, but they played completely different roles. I also read that the fellow who played Wheels guest-starred as another character on one or two episodes of "Kids". I believe that the folks who played Susie and Caitlin on DJH were series regulars on Kids of Degrassi Street starring as entirely different characters. If I'm not mistaken, the girl who played Caitlin on DJH/DH/TNG co-starred on "Kids", playing a child named Lisa. Therefore, the first TV series belonging to the Degrassi canon (the junior high and high schools, et al) is in fact "Degrassi Junior High".

This is amazing I've wanted to see this for the longest time!

It’s so nice of Cookie’s parents to outsource pre surgery comforting exclusively to professionals. Maybe they’ll send a cab to pick her up.

[@LadyElaineFairchilde]

Typical Degrassi. The parents are never around!

[@aprilwainwright3684]

The fact that Ida's mom told her to take her doll to the hospital cracks me up!

[@heelXdthgrp]

Say huh, Mama Linda? Whoever’s working up there has a huge heart. And knows the rules of the club. From an OG fanatic. Thank you.

I've never seen "The Kids" before but I've read about it. The acting and direction were better than I expected so I'm mildly impressed.

[@nellywilliams2776]

Awesome!! I have been looking for this for awhile 😊😊

[@markgreet3543]

It was really grim in a way,,seemed so different from the happy tv shows, this was shown uk mid 1980s.

[@user-nw9mz3vu3s]

I don't remember these late 70s episodes of Degrassi..I was 2. I more-so remember the 80s one..this is an interesting episode, because I had to have a lot of operations as a kid..I have CP..& I never liked the colour of the scrubs- (Green) it scared me. I thought the same thing, why scrubs are green?? 🤔 😷 Good question..?? 😮😷

[@wiscorpio72]

It shouldn't be a rule a kid's name should start with an I,N, or a C. Kids don't choose their names, their parents name them. Anyone notice Sara in the hospital is Irene? The actress was casted a year later as Irene. Either they decided to make her a regular character or she lied about her name to get in the INC club.

[@kaiseramadeus233]

What are you on about

[@wiscorpio72]

@@kaiseramadeus233 You have to see the next episode when Irene moves in and wants to join the club.
