This is Degrassi JUNIOR High, which in my opinion is superior and funnier. This is the one I grew up with. I'd mostly lost interest\gotten too old for Degrassi High.
"Degrassi High is the third television show in the Degrassi series of teen dramas about the lives of a group of teenagers living on or near De Grassi Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It first aired from 1989 to 1991 and followed the young people from The Kids of Degrassi Street and Degrassi Junior High through high school. The show was filmed in downtown Toronto and at Centennial College."
The legacy continued with Degrassi: The Next Generation which I think is still in production in some form.
Man, he wasted an opportunity and gave me a great idea should I become a molester: Molest the kid while you're driving! Cause then where's he gonna go? Nowhere to run in a moving car! Drive with one hand and grab his balls with the other!
*"You never fooled around, eh!"
*The molester sort of looks like a Canadian Sam Watterson!
*I halfway expect to hear the closing theme of The Incredible Hulk as he walks away!
I'm not sure if it was the same in Canada, but the ones we watched were 15 minute episodes in school that broached important topics like puberty, bullying, etc. It seemed much more an educational tool than 90210 or the later incarnations of the show like TNG, which I was hopelessly addicted to in college.
