Welcome to Degrassi Mania, a fan site dedicated to the Canadian teen
drama Degrassi:The Next Generation. The series follows the lives of roughly 19 teenagers and shows us the ups and downs
they face throughout high school.
Degrassi has addressed some pretty touchy issues in its 4 years on the air. Things like
drugs, abortion, rape, and homosexuality are just a few.
Degrassi:The Next Generation premiered on CTV back in September of 2001. Since then the show has become
a world wide hit. It airs in the U.S, it's native home Canada, Australia, and Britian. After the original series
came to an abrupt end in '91, producer Yan Moore decided to re-create the show nearly 10 years later with a new generation
of teens. The show basically picks up where the original series left off. It centers around young Emma and her mother
Spike, who gave birth to Emma 12 years ago on the show. A few other adults from the old series return as
parents and teachers on the new generation.
Tackeling tough issues is what ultimately makes this show such a hit. Degrassi:The Next Generation
is currently at work on its 5th season. You can catch reruns on CTV in Canada, on the Noggin Channel in America, BBC
in Britian, or ABC in Australia.
