Great Seriesby JudyHope

October 15, 2008: My So-Called Life was a great series that was cancelled much too early. Every episode had moments of joy and moments of anguish. The characters were well-written and well-acted. I related to the high school aged characters when the series was first aired and now as I rewatch the DVD's 15 years later, I relate to the parent characters also. The character of Ricky is still my favorite. He was a sweet and sad outsider. Totally relateable.

The bonus commentary from the creators was interesting but I found the commentary from the actors less interesting. There is a reason why writers write and actors act.

August 16, 2008: Every girl between the ages of 25 and 30 should know and love this show. Jordan Catalano is the essence of the high school crush and Angela defines earnest akwardness. This wasn't available for awhile so don't let it go this time!

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this classic teen series tackles mature topics including casual sex, homosexuality (including a teen who struggles with coming out), drinking, drugs, child abuse, young love, infidelity, divorce, death, homelessness, and manipulation. Each storyline is handled in detail, delicately, and often with parental involvement.

Parents might use the series as an entry point to set some ground rules about curfew, sneaking out, and dating.
