I loved Degrassi and the moral mssage it would give at the end of every show. Joey Jeremiah was a crap school bully though (an I'm not condoning bullying either!) but all he would do is call fat Arthur 'broomhead' which in my opinion Arthur got off light! |

Hehehe I loved popples. Mine was purple.
I also remember Tiny Toons, and the theme song, and how we changed it:
"We're tiny, we're tooney, we cost a big fat loonie, cause Brian Mulroney invented GST!".
Perhaps that's just for the Canadians... |
