The Kids of Degrassi Street is a Canadian children's TV series that aired from 1979 to 1986, and is the first series in the Degrassi franchise. It follows the lives of a group of children living on Degrassi Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The series grew out of four short films: Ida Makes a Movie, Cookie Goes to the Hospital, Irene Moves In and Noel Buys a Suit, which originally aired as after-school specials on CBC Television in 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982, respectively. The show was acclaimed for its realistic depiction of everyday children's lives and tribulations, and it remains memorable to many Canadians because of this.
