Sinister: they'll take your money and never give up
hello.. martin brought up this subject:
The Kids from Degrassi Street and my ears perked..
because all the degrassi shows were filmed right here in toronto, i'm always surprised by the fact that the whole world knows about the antics of joey, wheels, spike and ick. i SEE various members of the show around the city sometimes! really! i bumped into one of the twins (you know, long brown curly hair. everyone knows the classic operation when one of them gets an abortion) in the bathroom at school once, and then i saw her walking down the street another time. *gasp* i even sat behind liz (the one with the bangs and shaved head - joey jeremiah thought she would have sex with him, and casually dropped condoms on her coffee table, heee) during a screening of the movie "the red violin". and, on top of all of that, i KNOW someone who actually *lived* on degrassi street this past summer. the show has stopped running, but the legacy lives on... teri +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

as did mine! hooray for the mighty CBC's most enduring export (with the possible exception of glenn gould and the kids in the hall)! like all torontonians of 'a certain age' i have much degrassi lore to spread about thickly. most notably i keep running into the token black girl on the show, but i forget her real name. also, there was a fellow who ran for school president back when i was in grade 10 who's platform included addressing our rotund principal exclusively as 'big poppa' and erecting a statue of joey, wheels and snake on the front lawn of mighty northern secondary. the memories are just too much....does anyone remember claude? what a poor guy. i don't remember for sure but i bet he listened to alot of cure records on the show. also, my old band King Carp used to play a reggae version of the ZitRemedy's 'everybody's got something...' song, and a friend's punk band used to play the degrassi themesong too.

s'true. when my friend marc and i were in france (in nice to be precise) the two things we would watch on TV were the 8am french rap music videos (i'm more partial to Akhenaton and IAM than i am to MC Solar) and the poorly dubbed version of Degrassi that aired around 4pm. something about being in the exotic land of the prisunic and pastis made seeing a dowdy canadian 'no frills' supermarket on tv bizzarely reassuring. i wrote a teary letter home about the very same thing. oh, and does anyone remember when they went to the strip club? i think it was the one on queen east near that mr. tasty restaurant or something....another boffo degrassi moment. steven kado +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
