Kit Hood, co-creator of 'Degrassi' Canadian TV series, has died

When Mistysyn performed in “Cabaret” in high school, Hood was there to support her, along with fellow “Degrassi” co-creator Linda Schuyler.

Born in England, Hood emigrated to Canada in his mid-20s and made a career as a writer, director, editor and producer. “Kit's intimate and respectful style of directing, small of scale and richly layered, was integral to the success of the series through 'Degrassi Junior High' and 'Degrassi High,”' Schuyler said.

And “Degrassi High,” which ran from '89 to '91, also tackled heavy topics including abortion and suicide.

CBC TV is a shambles: Nobody watches TV out of patriotismA shambolic handling of The National and an appeal to patriotism to get viewers summarizes CBC TV’s awfulness GlobeArts Love the radio programming- GlobeArts Nobody watches because they're just a propaganda machine for the Liberal government. We dont trust the CBC but I do believe they're taking advantage of isolated and elderly Canadians who do watch. GlobeArts If it wasn't for the onslaught of fake news and propaganda pump down the throat of every single viewer every single day non-stop without fail by the CBC then some people might actually be able to refrain from smashing the television. Tip: stop lying & deceiving. Try the truth.
