List of Degrassi: The Next Generation episodes

Degrassi: The Next Generation is a Canadian teen drama television series created by Linda Schuyler and Yan Moore. It premiered on CTV, a terrestrial television network, on 14 October 2001 with the pilot episode "Mother and Child Reunion". It is the fifth series set in the fictional Degrassi universe created by Schuyler and Kit Hood in 1980. Like its predecessors, Degrassi: The Next Generation follows a group of students from Degrassi Community School, a fictional school in Toronto, Ontario, and depicts some of the typical issues and challenges common to a teenager's life such as drug taking, drinking, rape, pregnancy, abortion, bullying, family problems, sex, homosexuality and death. In the United States, the series is broadcast on The N, a digital cable network aimed at teenagers and young adults. As of 23 November 2008, 150 episodes have aired. The eighth season premiered on 5 October 2008.[1]

The first six seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation are available on DVD in Region 1, with season one also being available in Region 4.[2] Episodes are also available digitally: CTV and The N stream episodes on their websites; registered users of the Canadian and U.S. iTunes Stores are able to purchase and download episodes for playback on home computers and certain iPods;[3] and episodes are also available for download from Puretracks in Canada. The episodes are in a Windows Media 10 file, and the purchaser owns them forever, although the episodes can only be burned onto a disc three times and copied to a device three times.[4][5] Additionally, every episode is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace in the U.S.[6]

In addition to the regular episodes, three "special episodes" have been produced, which are not considered to be part of the Degrassi continuity. "Degrassi in Kenya" ("Degrassi: Doing What Matters" in the US) aired 18 October 2007 on MTV Canada, and 14 March 2008 on The N.[7] It documented the Degrassi: The Next Generation cast visiting the Masai Mara, Kenya to build an extension onto Motony Primary School.[8][9] "Degrassi of the Dead", parodying the zombie movie Dawn of the Dead, was a Halloween special episode which aired on 26 October 2007 on The N, and four days later on CTV.[10] The episode was not part of the Degrassi continuity, although the first fifteen minutes did feature a number of actors in character, some of whom had turned into zombies after eating genetically modified food in the school cafeteria, while others were trying to escape.[11] The second half of the episode was a behind-the-scenes look with actors Cassie Steele, Aubrey Graham and Lauren Collins. It was directed by Stefan Brogren, and originally made as five online-only Degrassi Minis, with an additional streaming video of Aubrey Graham dancing to a Halloween-themed rap performed by Brogren.[12][13][14] The third was a second Halloween special called "Curse of Degrassi," which aired on CTV on October 26 and The N on 24 October 2008. In this special, Rick Murray's ghost possesses Holly J and begins tormenting the students who laughed at him on the day of the "Whack-Your-Brain" incident which eventually led to his death.
