Degrassi High
Degrassi High aired on VTV 1 from 7 September 1990 to 29 November 1991, with the series always being aired after reruns of TUGS.

Vanmanian Television critics criticized the fact that Degrassi High was airing during VTV's children's programming lineup, as they considered the series "out of place" between series like David the Gnome and Open Sesame Street!, more criticism came from fans of the show Degrassi High was tied with, TUGS, Vanmanian fans had been asking for a second season of the show since the show aired it's final episode in 1989, and many TUGS fans saw the debut of Degrassi High as a "middle finger to any chance of a second season of TUGS".
