Title Tales
The original 'Degrassi' aired in the '80s and now all of 'D:TNG's' episode titles are named after '80s songs, bands and movies. Occasionally, a '90s song will makes it way in there though, as was the case with the episode about identity crisis called 'Wannabe,' after the Spice Girls song.
