Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Degrassi High: the immediate follow-up Degrassi Junior High, which aired on CBC from November 6, 1989 to January 28, 1991 with a total of 28 episodes across 2 seasons.Most of the episodes focused on the day-to-day problems of being a teen, such as bargaining for more freedom from your parents, preparing for life after graduation, and (especially) the perils and pitfalls of No Going Steady. Every few episodes, a monster problem would hit, like AIDS, a kid running away from home, and so on. However, the cast were such a Dysfunction Junction that the day-to-day episodes could feel almost as soap-opera and dramatic as the heavy-hitter ones. Without exception, every single storyline had a follow-up later.Like the rest of the Degrassi franchise, the series was intended as a tool for teaching teens about "hot-button" issues like abortion and AIDS. In many ways, it serves as a bridge between the individual episode focus of Degrassi Junior High and the sprawling Soap Opera of Degrassi: The Next Generation. But in spite of that, it was far more continuity-heavy than its successsors with its Three Month Rule and Heel–Face Revolving Door.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })At its best, Degrassi High turned a large cast into True Companions with a bond so real you could taste it, and a school that felt more real than almost any other on TV. It still has a ton of die-hard fans who love it like Star Trek fans love their continuity. At its worst, it could be frustrating stew of too many Spear Carrier characters and repetitive romantic subplots, made worse by regular Retcon. The most striking innovation of the show was that all characters had Soap Opera adventures even when the camera wasn't on them, and time visibly passed each episode — which made everything fit together, but also meant a ton of Second-Hand Storytelling.The series ended with a Grand Finale movie, School's Out, which caused an outcry by going Darker and Edgier than anything Degrassi (or almost any other teen show) had done at the time, with tons of Fanservice (from actors who were real teenagers), drugs and alcohol, sex scenes, and characters turning very unpleasant (themes that teen dramas would later be DEFINED by, mind you). Most notable was using real cursing in a show that had never had it before — one foul-mouthed line became an instant Memetic Mutation. Like many Darker and Edgier shows, fans tend to either love it or hate it. (Of course, compared to its successor, it may be quaint in some ways — and yet, still Darker and Edgier in others.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The series was followed up with Degrassi Talks, a documentary special where Degrassi actors interviewed people for real stories of drug addiction, domestic abuse, etc. interspersed with relevant clips from the show. | |

Former Child Star: Real Life example: of the show's actors who stayed in acting, most were hopelessly type-cast. A few of them even ended up playing the same characters on Degrassi: The Next Generation; although this would likely fall under Casting Gag. Luckily, with the exception of Neil Hope, there were no casualties. | |

Variations on a Theme Song | |
| Degrassi High / int_67262b61 | comment |
Variations on a Theme Song: The theme song for here is more or less the same as Degrassi Junior High, shifted two keys below and with a new set of lyrics. However, the end theme is basically that of Junior High but rearranged in a more late 1980s style as opposed to the synth-drenched mid-80s sound of the original. | |

The Unfair Sex | |
| Degrassi High / int_6ae4dedd | comment |
The Unfair Sex: Joey and Caitlin both cheated on each other at different points. While Joey's affair with Tessa was rightfully viewed as him being in the wrong, Joey never discovers that Caitlin went out with Claude and kissed him at least once before their first relationship ended. This occurs in again in The Next Generation where Caitlin drunkenly makes out with Kevin Smith. Both times, Caitlin is portrayed sympathetically. | |

Demoted to Extra: Arthur and Yick. Along with Stephanie Kaye and Joey, they were the main stars of Degrassi Junior High (especially in season 1), and were often involved in a subplot in every episode. But no longer cute little kids, they were relegated to minor background players in Degrassi High. Melanie. She has even less screen time than Yick and Arthur in Degrassi High. | |

Precision F-Strike | |
| Degrassi High / int_bc00493f | comment |
Precision F-Strike: The F-word is used twice in near-succession during the climax of "School's Out". Extremely jarring in that the show hardly ever used even mild swearing. Notable in that it's the first use of the f-word on Canadian television. | |

Irony | |
| Degrassi High / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Wheels lost his parents to a drunk driver, he ends up taking a life while driving intoxicated. more ironic being that in the episode Pa-arty in season 3 of Degrassi Junior High, Wheels refuses to drink, saying the reason was that his parents died of drunk driver. Snake even Lamp Shades this in "School's Out". | |

Fan Disservice: In School's Out, Joey, who is short and scrawny, gets two separate shots of his naked butt. Tessa and Alexa seem to enjoy it. | |

Spoiler Opening | |
| Degrassi High / int_cd83fa5b | comment |
Spoiler Opening: The credits spoil a few things; far worse is the decision to put the Degrassi Talks episodes (of which include clips from Degrassi High on the Degrassi Junior High DVDs, making it impossible to watch them in the order you see the discs without spoiling the biggest surprises. | |

Bad "Bad Acting" | |
| Degrassi High / int_f19e8a55 | comment |
Bad "Bad Acting": Some of the teenage cast fall susceptible to this because they weren't experienced actors. This is also a reason some newer fans tend to write off the older Degrassi no matter how entertaining the show still actually is. | |

The Alleged Car | |
| Degrassi High / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: Clutch's Mustang II, Joey's older (but cooler if no less junky) Mustang Sportsroof, Snake's parents' huge, rusty '76 Oldsmobile, Spike's mom's Lada, Wheels' heavily beat-up Chevy Malibu wagon. It gives the impression that the production could only afford Alleged Cars for the characters to drive. | |

Hustling the Mark | |
| Degrassi High / int_f7257495 | comment |
Hustling the Mark: In one episode, the cool kids invite nerdy, insecure Arthur to their poker party so they can take him for all he's worth. He's totally out of his depth — at one point, he asks, "does three of a kind beat a full house?" But he suddenly starts winning, and by the last hand, it's down to Arthur and the host ...and Arthur wins almost all the money by bluffing when his hand is complete junk. The cool kids are amazed, then Arthur grins and says, "'Does three of a kind beat a full house?' You guys are so gullible.". | |

Literal Genie: A complicated one in School's Out. Joey wanted to get laid. He got Tessa and Caitlin. Wheels didn't want to live with his grandparents. He isn't living with them at the end. Caitlin wanted to choose between university and love. Joey made the choice very easy for her. Snake wanted a lifesaving fantasy, but he still didn't lose his virginity. | |
