I watched DeGrassi Junior High before I discovered Save by the Bell.
Maybe cuz I grew up in Detroit and we got Canadian programming, but DeGrassi was actually a much better show, better writing, and uglier kids.
It was clearly the best show on. I would get home from school, eat a bowl of King Vitiman while watching it. Then go ball.

Easily the best moment was when Zack was in his room with his dad. His dad is always busy and taking calls when Zack is trying to open up to him. So Zack calls him from his cell phone in the same room and says "this is the only way I can get through to you".
very true. It's definitely a generational thing. Those of us who came up in the time-frame Mookie noted will have it forever seared into our brain
Degrassi focuses on more realistic situations and problem in life. However, they also deal with a lot of touchy things like abortion, being gay, drugs, divorce, becoming paralyzed, etc...
Saved by the Bell was rated like TVG and Degrassi is like TV14 or TVMA. Degrassi always had episodes about mature while Saved By the Bell was about having fun and not having to deal with real problems.
Jessie wound up having a kid with Horatio Caine.
almost missed it, well played
Drake was on that show, playing the kid in the wheelchair Jimmy i think it was, donno if was the junior high series but he was in it
Degrassi?
How sad
I went to school in round rock for a while in 8th grade they made us watch the original degrassi in health class for some reason to teach us lessons, i noticed it was always ed up and something wasn't right about the kids or the show, like it was literally alien or set In a bizarro world. Then when the new degrassi got moderatly popular i realized it was Canadian and that explained it all
there's only so many shows you can do about ottawa and hockey and snow and
the country of Canada should be ashamed of that show

Any episode featuring Casey Casem has to be towards the top of the list.
Well drake isn't 40 years old so I'm sure that was the new degrassi which was way after saved by the bell
Goes to show you how in bad rap is now that a Canadian child actor can be on the cover of magazines with an unstoppable tshirt on
A child actor
From Canada
Canada
the country
A child actor
what a ing joke
Yeah, that's what I meant about better writing. Early on, they had episodes about drug use and teen pregnancy. It had it's own humor as well, but definitely more serious. I'm just mentioning that I watched DeGrassi before I ever watched Save by the Bell.
I'm talking about the original DeGrassi that was on air in the late 1980s/early 90s.
I saw that movie one night when I stayed up the whole day.
More brothers were needed on the show. We all know Kelly would have dated one before she graduated.
@ the movie theaters they went to. Those seats and it only having 7-8 rows.
And most of the time the movie would start without previews and begin with some kind of intense action scene, why don't they make movies like that? It's awesome!
Last night on Jimmy Fallon they had a California Dreams reunion, it was pretty tight but sad because they revealed only 5 of 7 SBTB actors wanted to reunite. Who are the 2 prideful schmucks that didn't want to make the public happy? Zack, Slater, and Belding were obviously down for it.
A reunion would be badass.
California Dreams was also a classic Saturday morning NBC show.
The sauce you can have, but the secret...SHE'S A MIIIINE!!! LOL at Screech buying all of that jewelry for that dumb gold-digger, Robin, and then they tricked her into buying a fake recipe.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Murder Mansion episode!! Only Lisa Turtle drinks a mango tonic with a kiwi twist!
Whatsa for suppa?
Barely beats out the Jessie no-doze episode for most absurd episode of all. I loved how a student (Zach) was basically facilitating oil-drilling on school property.
Another absurd one...when they create the pimple cream, but it ends up turning everyone's faces maroon, which just so happens to be their school colors.
Awesome!
That's not crater face coburn!
-chuckle Charlie
Uh huh huh hehehe
Who is the hated person in the SBTB generation? JEFFREY HUNTER! After Zack was always there for Kelly, that Jeff bas just strolls in, uses his position of power at the Max to impress her, and snatches her up and takes her V card. I can't imagine Zack taking that that dude's sloppy seconds, but obviously he really had strong feelings for Kelly and saw beyond it. But damnnnn.
I'm also looking for clips from the episode where Kelly can't go to the dance, so Zack sets up an outdoor dance for them to make her feel better about being poor. It was awesome, remember that? Cuz Kelly sure didn't when she was banging Jeff in the Max's kitchen after closing.
I felt zero sympathy for that head when his brains got sucked out in Starship Troopers.Who is the hated person in the SBTB generation? JEFFREY HUNTER!
