And the dynasty continues. Degrassi: The Next Generation enters an exclusive group when it airs its 100th episode on March 20. The season finale, chronicling the requisite break-ups and make-ups as well as graduation day for six cast members, actually begins on Monday, March 13 at 8:30 p.m. Part two airs the following Monday, also at 8:30 p.m.
It’s been a dramatic season both on and off screen. Audiences increased 24% this year (Source: Nielsen Media Research, 2005-06 vs. 2004-05, Weeks 4-19) and the series broke the one million viewer mark for the first time (Ratings courtesy of Nielsen Media Research). CTV says Degrassi: TNG is Canada’s most-watched Canadian drama series.
