Gather Ye Rosebuds

The first 2 seasons of the original show are on dvd now along with the first 2 seasons of TNG (the new generation) which focuses on Spike's daughter, Emma, and her friends at Degrassi now. Being twice as old as the cast members, it would seem silly for me to watch, but I do. I resisted for a long time, and after I had gotten into the show, I realized the connections to the old show...Spike, Snake, Joey, Caitlin, Mr raddich, and a handful of the old people doing random guest appearances.Not only were the characters the same, but they're played by the original actors as adults now.
