The child stars of Canadian television drama THE KIDS OF DEGRASSI STREET grew to adolescence in the spin-off series DEGRASSI JUNIOR HIGH. Expanding on the realism that made its predecessor such a hit, the spin-off tackled a wide range of issues plaguing modern teens--from popularity, dating, and sex, to the death of a parent, domestic abuse, and drugs--with a groundbreaking frankness that influenced later teen soap operas such as BEVERLY HILLS 90210. This collection includes four episodes from the powerful series' debut season: in "The Great Race," Melanie (Sara Ballingall) buys her first bra; in "Rumor Has It," Caitlin (Stacie Mistysyn) suspects her favorite teacher might be gay; in "The Best Laid Plans," Stephanie (Nicole Stoffman) and Wheels (Neil Hope) go out on a date; and in "Nothing to Fear," L.D.'s (Amanda Cook) father is taken to the hospital.
