![]() These original characters are so amazing, and are still among the series’ best. Season 1 is a little cheesy, but it’s pretty endearing. We are introduced to a lot of characters, some of which have become the most iconic in the series’ history: Emma, Manny, Liberty, JT, Paige, Spinner, and Sean. Why you would start here: Season 1, is the best place to start, in my opinion. This reboot turned into a huge hit, and all these years later we are still going. Spike’s daughter Emma (who was born in DJH) is starting 7th grade, and the show introduces her and her classmates as well as the students in grade 8. General info: An experimental reboot of the 80s show, Degrassi: The Next Generation (TNG) literally follows the next generation of students. Why you wouldn’t start here: It’s the 80s, it’s cheesy, and it’s mostly a show for kids. You would only want to watch this show if you’re curious about Degrassi (and Emma’s) origins. Any characters from DJH that continue onto the current series are explained thoroughly. You definitely don’t need to watch this to understand the new series, and watching DJH isn’t necessary in the slightest. ![]() And Archie “Snake” Simpson has been on this show for so long, and is now school’s principal. Spike and Emma are the reason our current series exists at all. At 13, Christine “Spike” Nelson gave birth to Emma, who would later be the star of TNG and the reason it was called the next generation. A few of the kids on DJH ended up being on the current series as adults, with two being especially important: Spike and Simpson. It’s cheesy and sometimes badly acted, but it can be charming. General info: Degrassi Junior High (DJH) was a show about a bunch of middle schoolers and it’s from the 80s, and was quite popular. Read for yourself and decide where you want to jump in: Degrassi Junior High Season 1 So where do you begin? I’ve compiled here a list of possible starting points. And you don’t want to be too lost amongst the hundreds of characters. but you also need to know how the current characters came to be. You don’t think you want to start at the beginning because you want to jump in to what’s happening now…. It’s daunting to see a show with 14 seasons that is still going, and it’s natural to wonder where to jump in. ![]() Much love to you my friend.A Guide to Starting Degrassi: Where to BeginĪ very frequently asked question in the Degrassi fandom is where to start watching. ![]() Your kindness and bright light will not be forgotten.

"What are the chances that I just put a poster of him and Denzel Washington up on the wall to honour my ambition and my infatuation, and the next day, I'm in the same category as him?" the newspaper quoted French as saying.Īnother Degrassi star, Jessica Tyler, posted a statement online Tuesday saying the stars of the show were "a family."
