Without going into all kinds of detail, this series was awesome. It's High School friend who come from very different backgrounds, and their living situations basically cover pretty much of what actually does go on in real life. Although this is just series, message of this family based series is all about being accepted. Dispite the times, being in the 90's, it's really what life is about no matter what era / generation one is born in. We all want to be accepted and loved. This is a very touching story of how friends stick together, and remind each other that theya re never alone. I cried through much of it as I could REALLY FEEL the characters lonelyness, especially Rickie, and Jordan Catalano. These two are pretty much loners, but Rickie really needs to know that he does fit in dispite his differences and the fact that he is gay. He has so much love to give, and thanfully for him, he realizes that he can turn to his friends. Jordan plays with the notion that any girl is lucky to have him. He is well respectful in so many ways, and finally realizes that he is smart and is worth being loved in return. Great Box set and suggest that any teen see this series. It may turn a few heads. I know it did mine and I'm in my 40's. An excellent choice and it's very heartfelf and touching. I highly recommend "MY SO CALLED LIFE" to any age group. I think it will help kids to understand what a parent's role really means in their lives, and also their friends. It's all about being loved and accepted. Very important concepts in life that we cannot live without.Read full review
This was very interesting for me to watch fifteen years after I originally saw it. In 1994, I realated with the teenagers, and enjoyed seeing their angst as I was going through mine. Now as I watched it, I found myself relating to the parents.I wish I would have taken notes as a teen for I have one very important question. Why did Angela choose her new friends? As mentioned before as a teen I totally got it. Now, sadly I do not. If I did understand that a lot of my angst as a mother of a burgeoning teen would be answered.All these points aside My-So-Called-Life is a fantastic right on story of teeneagers, theri families, and what it is like to grow up. The actors are fantastic.The writing is incredible. I do wish there would have been more seasons. But the one season does stand alone as a great story. Most plots are tied up and you feel satisfied with the season as a whole.Anyone who enjoyed this show in the early nineties will strill enjoy it today. It deals with the timeless issue of growing up wether you are fifteen or forty.Read full review
So, I was reminiscing about television programmes from the 90's when "My So Called Life" came up. It's about a 15/16 year old Claire Danes and her struggles with High school life. It's not what I recall,.. then again, the 90's were oh so long ago.

A great show from 1995? Sometimes I am sure resonates with the youth of today and some lessons to learn.

Though I'm still upset that this wonderful series was cancelled before it really got going, the DVD set reminded me why I loved this show so much when I was 12. The show showed allowed its characters to go through real situations; ones that all teenagers and even adults go through. It was real, often brutally honest, and I loved every minute of it. Any fan of the show or any potential fan who would love to see a show that depicts growing up as close to what it's really like as possible should definitely get their hands on this DVD set.
