Season 1 or season 20 it doesn't matter Degrassi is one of the all time greatest shows ever created!
With tons of extras like a blooper reel, and cast audition tapes this box set is great for hours of fun, drama, and, and a little twist of comedy, thrown together for the ultimate degrassi fans...

I just want to air out all of my hate towards this stupid show of kids knowing it all of a teenage life. Degrassi is one of the most depressing ignoramous shows ive ever seen and it should only belong on MTV. This show reminds me why I dropped out of highschool. The only character I really felt bad for was rick murry (ephriam ellis) who was the victim of what I call DICKGRABBI highschool and yes I would have taken a gun to school and gun down the entire ignorant youthful souls and yes im glad he shot that dumb ape jimmy who didn't die but was confined to a wheelchair LMAO!!!

RIP rick murray

Piss on JT'S grave!

Death to dickgrabbi!

I had heard about Degrassi The Next Generation a couple of years ago. But never gave the series not much of a thought because I was too busy with American television series at the time. Back when American television still had great television. I watched a few episodes of the series on The-N website and was instantly hooked. One interesting aspect of the series is they actually teenagers playing teenagers. Something that doesn't happened in the U.S. Another thing, that get me hooked was the fact that the series takes some real risk. No disrespect to good Teen Dramas i.e. Season one and Season Two of Dawson's Creek & Everwood. But most teen drama series begin with, the oddity which is the first day of a new school. Degrassi has this but it has something I had never seen anyone dare try in their first episode which is Cyber Predators. What the first episode of this new series does is bridge fans of Degrassi High - The Complete Collection and viewers of this new series. So if you are a new viewer of the Degrassi univirse like I am, you are not completely confused. And if you are a long time viewer of the two previous Degrassi series; it is like meeting up with old friends again. The first season of Degrassi The Next Generation deals with such things as rape, your first date, jealousy, body image, drugs, porn, drinking, peer pressure and all things young kidsdeal with when they are young without all the over the top BS you get on One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl. The first season sets up relationships and friendships that are still on going now in the series 7th season and some that are taken to the 10th level in future seasons. Like friendships such as, Manny Santos & Emma Nielson, Spinner Mason & Jimmy Brooks. And rivals like Paige Michalchuk & Manny Santos. Season One also begins the iconic relationships of Liberty Van Zandt & J.T. York, and Emma Nielson & Sean Cameron a relationship to this day fans of the series' wonder if they will ever be. If you despise teen dramas of all kinds then do not purchase these DVD's. If you don't mind going back and seeing as close to junior high & high school a television series can be. Then please do purchase this series. I will discuss the special features because I don't think they are all that good. Also, do not get these DVD's because of the great picture quality or sound qualilty. Degrassi has never and will never have the budget that series like Gossip Girl or One Tree Hill will have but when it comes to emotion no one beats Degrassi.

I have never watched Degrassi, although I heard about the show since years ago my mom used to be a teacher. I'm in college and D: TNG recently premiered in syndication on the CW network. Because this show is suppose to target young teens and children (not anymore... lol) it comes on @ 7AM too early... I've watch several episodes just too see what it was all about and I was immediately hooked. Majority of the characters reminds me of some of the thing that I was going through in high school or people I know of.

I just ordered season 2 ;-)

Great for young adults b/c it discusses what kids are thinking and the different issues they go through at the age of 12-13, and the kids that star in the show really look like kids!

I'm a big Degrassi fan and I'm really into the new seasons, but it's fun to see the characters way back when.
