Jonovision Degrassi reunion special

On December 24-25, 1999, the cast of Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High reunited on the CBC youth-oriented talk show Jonovision, hosted by comedian and actor Jonathan Torrens. Taking place in front of a live audience, the event marked the first major reunion of the cast since 1991, only preceded by a handful of small fan gatherings. It was Jonovision 's highest-rated episode, and is considered the catalyst for the eventual advent of Degrassi: The Next Generation.
