It's been a while since we
checked in with a
Degrassi update, and so we wanted to let you know the latest about
Degrassi Junior High and
Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Fans of the show, like Zach Harris (who has done an outstanding job of keeping us filled in on various
Degrassi doings!), have written to property-owners Epitome Pictures and gotten a "form letter" response about the future availability of DVDs. The latest version of that response, with some actual plans mentioned, has now been made part of the official
Degrassi Fan Pages FAQ:
Is Degrassi available on DVD or video?
The first three seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation will be released on DVD and VHS in the USA in the Summer of 2004. Plans are also underway to release the first season of Degrassi: The Next Generation in Canada as well as releasing Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High on DVD. There are no dates for release in other countries at this time. Stay tuned for updates!
Good news indeed, although it's a bit strange that
D:TNG gets 3 seasons worth planned for the USA, but native Canada only gets the 1st. A head-scratcher, that one...but at least it's all Region 1, right kids?
"Stay tuned for updates!" they say in the FAQ. Hmmm, sounds like something we might say. Okay, then...stay tuned! We'll let you know more just as soon as we can.
