I edited @mariadip.bsky.social's chapter on this show, but somehow was not prepared for the crab costumes. Also, why did no one mention that Carl the crab boss is played by LONDO MOLARI!

What happens when a march on the boss occurs on TV? Well sometimes instead of "So long, dental plan!" it's "goodbye, laundry expenses."

Happy 25th anniversary to Degrassi: The Next Generation, the show that truly raised millennials! Almost every podcast guest I’ve asked about their general relationship to teen dramas has mentioned #Degrassi as a formative show.
