The old version of Degrassi from the 80's is still fairly popular amongst people who were kids or teens during that era (i own the first 3 seasons :) ), and I'm Canadian. The new Degrassi is somewhat popular too. I don't hear about it much though. As far as the actors being in other things, look on IMDB. |

I'm 45 and I remember the show when I was much younger. I believe it went from "The Kids of Degrassi Street", to "Degrassi Junior High" and then "Degrassi High" before going off the air. Now it's back on as Degrassi - The Next Generation, with a new bunch of kids and some of the originals, now adults themselves, working as teachers and other adults on the show.
Spoofs...I don't think so.
Is it popular? I'd say so or it wouldn't have been on for so long and in so many different versions.
The wiki link, near the bottom, gives you the character list and from that the work of the actors who played the characters |

Of course, TV Shows are all over the world!! Canada expecially.
And yes Emma is in a movie called "shes to young" on Lifetime. and Alot of other movies. I don't know to many but, yeah.
Ashley and Holly J. Sinclair are in a Lifetime movie together called "They Come back"
I watched it last night..
And I don't know about the other Actors, and Actresses in Degrassi.
But Degrassi is my fav show!! Love it!! |

it's very popular with teens in Canada mainly because it doesn't sugarcoat teenage problems. |

Yeah we totally watch it. Well, we watched it in the 90's. My sister is 16 and she seems to know all the characters in the new version as well.
I saw Spike in a show once...she was playing someones cool hip mom and my own mom got really psyched about it. it was like a highschool reunion for her or something!
and yes, we probably spoof it ALL THE TIME. canadians love making fun of themselves. |

What a bunch of ignoramuses answered! Why bother at all if you have nothing intelligent to say, unless they enjoy making an a-$$ of themselves.
Degrassi, yes, it is popular here. I grew up watching the original Degrassi Juniour High/High. Much better than the one that is on now. Never seen any spoofs on it. And yes, many of the actors in it, are also in other shows/movies/plays. |

No, there aren't any spoofs.

Sure, many of them are. |

I watched that show in the 6th grade and never knew at the time it was from Canada. Therefore it's had an impact well beyond Canada. |

haha... well not since I was a school kid waiting to get picked up after classes did I watch Degrassi High.
I think it's hilarious that you guys have that down South. Out of all the Canadian shows out there.. Degrassi High is the only you watch ahaha.
Some of the actors have gone on to other things. None of them have made it too big though. There was a show called the "Trailer Park Boys" a couple went to that one. There's also some in "Degrassi: The New Generation". Which is just as ridiculous as the old. |
