It is asserted on Degrassi Junior High diff that the episode It's Late (DJH episode) won an Emmy; someone should cite this fact. -- Jack Merridew 11:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Degrassi was not filmed at Vincent Massey Collegiate Institute, regardless of what a printed resource book may say. I attended Vincent Massey during its final five years of life, and the school shown on Degrassi bore no physical resemblance whatsoever. It was filmed at Degrassi Junior Public School in Etobicoke. I'm updating the article and adding a citation, but I also want to mention it here as it seems to be a recurring misconception. Daveharr 17:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
On a recent trip to the UK I was channel surfing and came across one of those "looking back to the 80's" retrospective shows. In the midst of it, a show that looked exactly like Degrassi was presented for a short period of time. All the same characters were in it, even the same hallmark fashions. However, I don't recall the name "Degrassi" being used, but something else?
So, did the BBC have their own version adapted from the Canadian one? Did they play it under a different name? Or was I simply drunk?

As you may have noticed, for this past month, I've expanded this article dramatically. The citation style is not right because I copypasted from ProQuest, but this will also be fixed, and I've also overkilled citations (which will be also rectified) but this article was a sad state of affairs compared to the amount of media coverage and even scholarly analysis I was able to find. A lot of it was basically original research and had a whopping four sources. Now, the article has a similar structure to Degrassi: The Next Generation now. Hopefully this helps.

Overall: It wasn't 5x expanded on May 14, but promoted to GA status on that date so it still qualifies for DYK. While the quote in the source talks about the production company of the show being goodwill ambassadors, other parts of the source talk about the actors meeting with similar UNICEF ambassadors in New York, so I will give it a pass. Image is not used in the article and it is licensed with some rights reserved, so I don't think its eligible for DYK per WP:DYKIMG. ToQ100gou if you want I can approve the ALT0 hook and we don't have to worry about the image. Z1720 ( talk) 00:33, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
"...Grade 9, which is typically the first year of high school in Canada..."
Really? When I was growing up in Canada in the 1980s and 1990s (in PEI and Alberta), grades 7-9 were considered "junior high" and grades 10-12 were considered "senior high". I'm >20 years out of touch now and have heard anecdotally that the US-style "middle school" of grades ~6-8 and "high school" of grades 9-12 is becoming more prevalent, but I did not encounter that terminology in Canada until several years after graduating high school. Ontario (where the series is set) may also have been different than other parts of Canada at the time, but it would still surprise me if Ontario considered grade 9 to be high school at the time, since their high school went up to grade 13 during that period.
If this was in fact the standard terminology in Ontario at the time that the show aired, then I recommend that the text quoted above be changed to something like "Grade 9, which was typically considered the first year of high school in Ontario at the time...". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.248.191 ( talk) 18:38, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
