What happens
Degrassi High is a Canadian teen drama television series created by Linda Schuyler and Kit Hood. It is the third entry in the Degrassi franchise and the direct continuation of Degrassi Junior High, and was broadcast on the CBC from November 6, 1989 to February 18, 1991. The series follows the lives of those attending the titular fictional school. It addresses a variety of topics, ranging from mundane coming-of-age dilemmas to serious and controversial topics such as abortion, cancer, suicide and HIV/AIDS. It was filmed entirely on-location in Toronto, with the Centennial College Story Arts Centre used as the school. The series was critically acclaimed, with particular praise afforded to the series premiere, "A New Start", which portrayed abortion. A small controversy arose involving the episode when PBS removed a scene of anti-abortion protesters against the wishes of Hood and Schuyler. The show received six awards, including a Prix Jeunesse and four Chris Awards, and seven nominations, including for several actors. The end of the series, despite good ratings, was the result of multiple behind-the-scenes problems, including creative exhaustion and the aging cast, which led to the loss of its funding. as well as the feeling that the show had run its course. A post-graduation television film, School's Out, and a non-fiction docuseries, Degrassi Talks, appeared in 1992 and officially ended the franchise until its revival with Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015).
