KidZone

The show is also notable for providing a start for several young stars, including Sarah Chalke, Devon Sawa, Erica Cerra, and Jai West.

Following the education mandate of the broadcaster, the show managed to present anti-smoking, safety and environmental issues with funding from provincial government agencies and private companies.

One of the recurring sketches on KidZone was Kerrisdale V6M 1Z6, which used a style similar to Beverly Hills, 90210[1] and Degrassi Junior High to present youth issues.

Eventually, KidZone shifted away from its journalistic style and became a docudrama about high school based on the Kerrisdale sketch.

Much like Degrassi Talks, the show featured KidZone actors participating in sketches and call-in discussions on topics oriented toward young viewers.
