“Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through.” These are
the famous opening lines to Degrassi: The Next Generation, but they really speak
volumes to the entire franchise.
The Kids of Degrassi Street was where it all began. It was
the first iteration of the franchise and was composed of four episodes varying in
length that aired consecutively between 1979 and 1982 on the CBC. Most of the
cast would move on to the full time series Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi
High with different names, families and story lines.
Degrassi Junior High had its run from 1987 through 1989
while Degrassi High ran from 1989-1991. These were the original two series and they
had a very organic feel to them as the cast were mostly non-professional actors
and the budgets were pretty low. The two series touched on a lot of
controversial topics that were not in the mainstream media such as
homosexuality, teen pregnancy, child abuse, racism, homophobia and much more.
The show always approached these topics with a high level of tact and
responsibility. This run of the franchise also created some much loved generational
characters such as Joey Jeremiah, Snake, Spike, The Farell twins, Wheels, BLT
and many more.
The franchise received a revival in 2001 with Degrassi: The
Next Generation. This modern version of the Degrassi world did exactly what the
original run intended to do. Speak to its audience about issues that pre-teens
and teens face. With a 20 year gap, the show was able to develop and create
episodes geared to even more controversial and issues that were brought about by technological advances that didnt exist during the original run such as cyber bullying, online predators, sex, suicide, self-injury, abortion, domestic
violence, date rape, murder, school shootings and much more.

The franchise continues on now with Degrassi: Next Class
thanks to Netflix and Family Channel. This version is set in the world of
Degrassi but is not a continuation of The Next Generation. It is currently 3
seasons long and has been green lit for a 4th.
How long will the Degrassi franchise survive? On television? Who really knows. In the hearts of multi generations of Canadians? Forever.
