Yes, I watched both of the older Degrassis when I was growing up and they were on PBS here. :b They were quite daring for what they were, I think, but I liked the 'teen soap'-iness of it at the time. The new Degrassi is cute, and also deals with some heavy issues, but I haven't been watching it as much lately. Some of the characters from the "older" shows are still on it - Joey has a stepson that goes to Degrassi, and Joey is seeing Caitlin on & off; Spike (who now goes by Christine) is married to Snake (Arthur) and they have a baby together, but Spike's daughter, Emma, is now a teenager and goes to Degrassi. A few other characters have shown up now and again, or have been mentioned. It's on "the N" in the U.S., btw; the Nickelodeon channel for small kids called "Noggin" by day turns into the N at night, for teens. (I think the most recent season has ended already, though)
