I don't think I've ever saw that one. The only teen drama I saw was Degrassi on CBC.
Degrassi rules! I actually met the chubby bully from the later seasons (when they are in high school). It must have been '92-'93 and my friend and I were camping overnight in the NBC building (NYC) to get stand-by tickets (a weekly event for us). The chubby bully was there one time, but he had actual tickets, IIRC. I don't think anyone recognized him outside of myself and one other girl. I would have been much more excited if it had been any other member of the cast from the earlier seasons... but at least he helped us meet this cute girl

I've tried watching the new Degrassi series... but the production values are too slick and it's more sit-com/soap-opera than teen drama. Oh well, I guess I'm getting old.
Anecdote #3: The Museum of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills had a retrospective on Canadian stuff a few years ago. They screened a few episodes of Degrassi and other random teen shows. One of them was a hoot: it was a typical teen drama -- but set in the "goth" sub-culture! Despite its cheesiness, this show was much closer in spirit to the original Degrassi series. I suppose that is why they chose it
