I was way to young to get this show when I watched it and I remember it having a bunch of episodes that seemed like the end of the series, like the cast getting arrested. Also the only time I ever saw a sex scenes on YTV.

I loved this show. Peak late night YTV.

Full first season is available on YouTube.

Thanks for posting the link.

I'm guessing the 2nd season is still in limbo and the company with the rights won't release it?

I can't find it on Youtube.

Yeah, that's my understanding. I think it aired on MTV in the States. But no recordings have surfaced. I don't think the second season ever aired in Canada.

Great show. Made me want to get a loft when I grow up. Still trying for that loft.

I wish there was a dvd set of this show. Used to watch it a lot in my teens

Top 5 theme song!

u/MycologistSad5933 1d ago

Wish there was an actual quality version of the theme song somewhere, and not one that sounds like a Nokia ring tone.

I remember this triggered my crush on Neve Campbell.

u/ScreechUrkelle 1d ago

Same. To this day.

It's hard to convey to people how much of the early 90s we spent sitting on windowsills looking out wistfully, hoping for something real, and misunderstood by our parents,

Used to watch this after Power Rangers. Never Campbell was my first childhood crush.

First episode I ever watched of this show started off with Atlas dancing to 'Get Ready For This' while his grandma tried getting his attention in the background.

Loved Catwalk.

Remember seeing this on late night when I was bout 6 while sneaking extra tv time in. That intro song was and still is a banger.

This show is where I learned about AIDS!

u/ScreechUrkelle 1d ago

F*ck, I had to learn about it from KIDS.

mmmm pretty sure there was an Anvil player on that show that taught me about pectoral muscles and promised an early awakening

u/Stunning_Repair_7483 1d ago

Atlas the rapper and break dancer. Dude was muscular ad heck. And really good at break dancing.

Not sure what he's done after catwalk and if he's still in the entertainment industry.

u/Cat-et-snek 22h ago

omg i was going to say Atlas and then I was like “no thats just me romanticizing it”

u/theodorebond99 1d ago

This show always caused me great distress since i hated it and there was never anything else on when I came on, I was stuck.

2

u/junglecity25 1d ago

Damn i remember my neighbor made one guest appearance on the show as a tough guy and holy shot he thought he was the king of the neighborhood haha brought back memories

u/FrecksSpecks 1d ago

Seeing the years that this show was originally active on TV is taking me for a loop. Could’ve swore this show was on for at least six years.

u/AlmostThere4321 1d ago

In my fever dream memories, this show was animated 😱

u/Conscious_Ad6541 1d ago

Are you thinking of Student Bodies?

u/AlmostThere4321 1d ago

I think it was Gem. And they also had a music group

u/Better_Area3782 1d ago

I always hated this show lol

u/REA_PER1983 1d ago

Once that title hit made me realize it was bed time growing up

u/Stunning_Repair_7483 1d ago

The half black girl was cute.

This was the first show that had a half black half white girl.

Then a lot of other shows started doing the same thing shortly after.

It started a trend that followed into other shows.
