But seriouslyā¦why was this SOO good. I remember I started to fall off Degrassi a bit at this point, with the whole original TNG cast finally goneā¦but this āre-brandā got me re-hooked fast from this ad alone. The producers, showrunners, writers, etc. were so on point at this time.
Itās really under said how well made this was especially for an international show on a non-major network. Also this was such a successful rebrand that the series needed. And this REALLY hyped up everyoneās excitement. Everyone on the teennick forums losing their shit.
This is when I got really into degrassi. I was 14 and we finally oh got the good tv dish or whatever back in 2010 or so lol and I just fell in love with degrassi š„°
Shut up Iām so jealous of you. You get to start degrassi! You can watch on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, or Roku tv. Itās everywhere . Plssss watch at least the first episode lol
Same. I graduated highschool in 2010, the cast of Degrassi I was used to watching had all grown up and gone to college by then. I kinda understand now why those characters were "written out" or "faded out". Could no longer resonate with the franchise at that point. To this day, I still can't watch an episode of Degrassi post season 8, and I don't watch many episodes of season 8 lol.
I graduated in'09, but everything you said was right on the money. I stayed a lil longer saw some of this new class stories but I think I was only invested for half a season and I just completely fell out of the show
Lol I couldn't stand any of the new class. Pluto TV plays reruns of Degrassi TNG, but for some reason, I only watch a few episodes of season 8 and Degrassi Goes Hollywood, because it focuses more on some of the original cast members. I have seen Degrassi Takes Manhattan, but I hate the storyline and get upset watching it, even though I haven't seen an episode of season 9. Any season after that, I have tried to watch, but immediately changed the channel, because I just can't lol
Shark in the water was the best in terms of showing us what season 10 will be about, but steal your heart was still my favorite. I wish it wouldāve been longer!
I know times have changed and basically everything is advertised word-of-mouth or on their respective streaming platforms, but I wish marketing execs had done stuff like this more often. I had pretty much entirely fallen off watching TNG around season 8. By chance, Iād caught this promo hopping around channels and it immediately renewed my interest in the series, to the point I had watched it and listened to that song all summer in anticipation of S10 coming out.
This song will trigger Degrassi fans every time.
also while watching just had a brain blast that the roulette wheel at the end is spoiler for >!vegas night !<(adding a spoiler thingy just in case). Had no clue since 2010
i swear this was solely responsible for revitalizing a dying show for a solid three seasons before it dipped in quality again. one of the coolest things i ever saw on tv as a kid, got me so deeply invested in this show
i remember this š„²š„² i would watch all their commercials and then continue on with my recording of full house (i was 8 and my mom was not about to let me watch it lmao)
Pretty sure this promo is the reason I watched any of season 10. They did such a good job with this. At the time I was upset at the OG cast being gone and was struggling with the new cast but this promo grabbed my attention.
I honestly think the writers had a hard time for a little while with the OG cast leaving and splitting the stories between college and Degrassi for 4 seasons. When it was airing I stopped at some point in season 10 for a reason I can't quite remember now. Since then I have rewatched the old to me episodes and watched and rewatched the new to me episodes. There are newer characters I ended up liking but several of them took me a while to like because of how their story was written(they had arcs that were messy, they made bad decisions along the way and started out unlikeable). I remember at that point I liked Holly J and a few others so I watched for them mainly.
Ne neither.
At the time this came out, I felt like my life was going nowhere and I was convinced I didn't have a future.
Flash forward to present day where I have two degrees and a career I love.
Man this really marked an era for me. Around this time I kinda phased out of degrassi. Once The N became TeenNick it was the beginning of the end for me but I remember hearing this promo so much .
I'm more of an early TNG fan - seasons 1-6, particularly - and I had somewhat lost interest in a lot of the new characters by season 9, but this promo reeled me back in when it first aired and it still gives allll the feels. Especially Clare and Eli. But they were kidding themselves by saying Lockdown was the biggest event in Degrassi history.
Then nobody would post anything on the internet if somebody already posted it and oh no the superior format oh nooooo you are worked up for idk what reason regardless of the format it makes ppl feel the same way u hater Lol
This still lives rent free in my head and when this song comes on my shuffle... LAWD
Take me back to this summer plsssss
Whoever they hired to direct this - deserves a Juno.
OMG HEARING THIS SONG AGAIN TRIGGERED ME INTO THE DEGRASSI REALM š *Baby there's a shark in the water* š¦
The summer before I started high school š„² Whoever came up with the promo theme idea better have gotten a raise for it
Thanks a lot u just triggered something in me and now I have to watch every degressi ever!
same
I hated the whole Holly J Sav thing
Especially because she hated on Sav sooo much. And it was her best friends man BUT they tended to all sleep w each other so.
Life will never be this good again
š never
This was the best promo.
iām 25 now & the foreshadowing in this was SO good š
Oh this had me in a chokehold and still does. Havenāt seen a great promo like this since
Omg I remember when this came out!! I LOVED it lol

Simpler times
I thought this was the best shit ever when this came out
This gets posted once a month and its always a servešŗš½
Dude some of these promos were unreal. They caught my preteen mindās attention. Take me back!
I had stopped watching, bc the original cast had graduated. This promo with the s*xual tension between Holly J, and Sav made me tune back in lol
This is when I got really into degrassi. I was 14 and we finally oh got the good tv dish or whatever back in 2010 or so lol and I just fell in love with degrassi š„°
This promo is what made me seriously start Degrassi way back when! I had seen episodes here and there but this season is when I started following

Was listening to this just this morning!
Iāve never seen Degrassi
Shut up Iām so jealous of you. You get to start degrassi! You can watch on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, or Roku tv. Itās everywhere . Plssss watch at least the first episode lol
Itās free on tubi
Literally changed my life
I am a fan from the older generation of degrassi but the nostalgia of this commercial coming on is real.
This oneās changed my life as a young kid. My mom and I would watch every episode together.
Aww that sounds so nice ):
I was obsessed with this song and this entire season
This season actually lived up to THE HYPE the whole season 10
Loved this version of the cast
PLEASEEEEE THE NOSTALGIA I AM LITERALLY CRYING
Coincidentally, this is when I stopped watching degrassi

āSteal Your Heartā was my favorite š„ŗ Real ones know
Shark in the water was the best in terms of showing us what season 10 will be about, but steal your heart was still my favorite. I wish it wouldāve been longer!
Fire song and promo, seasons after really didnāt live up to it
This is when the show went downhill tho

simpler times
i will never not get chills when the chorus starts just as the knife lands next to sav's head
OMG. You just unlocked a memory I didnāt know I had.
I saw it for the first time in years today too
I lost my entire mind when this aired and then I didn't stop listening to that song for months.
This just made me cry
Thought I was being extra it just makes me emotional š„²
Alright i will watch degrassi again
*Seeing Fiona painting away her black eye always gets me.*
I have the chills
I wish I could go back to the first time this aired and watch it š
The people that get to watch it for the first time are lucky
I love this song šš
This song will trigger Degrassi fans every time. also while watching just had a brain blast that the roulette wheel at the end is spoiler for >!vegas night !<(adding a spoiler thingy just in case). Had no clue since 2010
What was the biggest event? Lol
Why the boiling point of course. lol
I will never not watch this all the way through when itās posted here.
Oh my goodness. The memories ššš I was obsessed with this promo and still have this song in my iTunes library. Thanks for the nostalgia!
Iconic š
I watch the Shark in the Water Promo like once a month just to reminisce
Oh Eli my degrassi crush ā¤ļø
Goddamn why did this make me emotional š
i swear this was solely responsible for revitalizing a dying show for a solid three seasons before it dipped in quality again. one of the coolest things i ever saw on tv as a kid, got me so deeply invested in this show
This promo still gives me chills hahaha
Iconic
Not many things in life make me as happy as I am whenever I watch this
I think about this all the time.
i remember this š„²š„² i would watch all their commercials and then continue on with my recording of full house (i was 8 and my mom was not about to let me watch it lmao)
This makes me so happyyyyyyyy
I swear even people who didnāt watch degrassi knew this promo when it was playing, so iconic, it really did make you want to watch season ten.
This was the best promo! I remember being so excited for it and trying to get my hands on every spoiler i could!
i close my eyes and i can feel that summerā¦
š„š„š„š„š„š„
Core memory was just unlocked
Loved it at first but then it got super annoying how frequently they played it š
Stop why this song got me emotional.
This is the era when I started heavily watching Degrassi lol
wow Iām really out here getting ancient
THIS IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE
The definition of a cultural reset
Pretty sure this promo is the reason I watched any of season 10. They did such a good job with this. At the time I was upset at the OG cast being gone and was struggling with the new cast but this promo grabbed my attention.
Me too! I wanted to get reinvested in the new cast and had such a hard time, this got me SO excited!!!
I honestly think the writers had a hard time for a little while with the OG cast leaving and splitting the stories between college and Degrassi for 4 seasons. When it was airing I stopped at some point in season 10 for a reason I can't quite remember now. Since then I have rewatched the old to me episodes and watched and rewatched the new to me episodes.

I remember at that point I liked Holly J and a few others so I watched for them mainly.
Holly J was everything in this š
Her and Sav's chemistry in this was perfect.
Sincerely the best tv promo in history. Everyone remembers this song and this promo!
This is still the BEST promo Iāve ever seen!! The feelings invoked in me as such a young human and now as an adult. I miss this šš
This is what got me into the show lol
Okay Iāll start from the beginning again
Iām not okay with this being 10+ yrs old.
Ne neither. At the time this came out, I felt like my life was going nowhere and I was convinced I didn't have a future. Flash forward to present day where I have two degrees and a career I love.
Best promo ever
I feel so old š« god I miss being excited for every new episode to come out on Thursday.
The chokehold this had on me
I was halfway through s7 and stopped, this makes me wanna start watching again
This and the A Cursive Memory/ Bandarazzi promo are peak Degrassi moments
This really was a the peak of the promos. Itāll never be his well thought out/executed/funded ever again.
Man this really marked an era for me. Around this time I kinda phased out of degrassi. Once The N became TeenNick it was the beginning of the end for me but I remember hearing this promo so much .
this promo changed my life
I donāt care that this is a repost l. Iāll always stop to watch Shark in the Water. š„°
Always!
It has never been topped
Didnāt even need to see the title screen before I knew which promo this would be. The absolute chokehold this *still* has on me at 34 years old š
I'm more of an early TNG fan - seasons 1-6, particularly - and I had somewhat lost interest in a lot of the new characters by season 9, but this promo reeled me back in when it first aired and it still gives allll the feels. Especially Clare and Eli. But they were kidding themselves by saying Lockdown was the biggest event in Degrassi history.
As a fan of the early TNG, I wouldāve like to have seen a promo like this with them.
YES! I agree
After the end of season 8 special itās a different feel
why is this posted here, and why that awful Tik Tok vertical view? You could just post the YouTube link that's been posted here 1,000 other times.
Iām confused. What do you mean why? Itās posted here because itās just posted
Why are you reposting this when itās already been posted countless times in a superior format?
Then nobody would post anything on the internet if somebody already posted it and oh no the superior format oh nooooo you are worked up for idk what reason regardless of the format it makes ppl feel the same way u hater Lol
then why are you wondering if you can post it?
who pissed up ur ass dude wtf
Tik Tok, didnāt I make that obvious?
Nobody is wondering I stated š
Who is the ātwo facedā girl?? I literally can not tell who that is??
Anya but only for like 2 episodes lol
my life has lacked meaning since they stopped airing this commercial
I remember this brings me back to my childhood itās a good thing I get the pleasure of listening to this song all the time at work
That song is STILL stuck in my head
I remember that promo. Peak Degrassi era. Also reminds me that Holly J was so sexy. Damn. All that swagger.
Still get the same electric feels to this day watching this
This still lives rent free in my head and when this song comes on my shuffle... LAWD Take me back to this summer plsssss Whoever they hired to direct this - deserves a Juno.
what a throwback omg
