I was extremely excited to see the whole series of My so called life, because I was just missing seeing it. It brought me hours of entertainment and I enjoyed the commentary view to get a better idea of what happened behind the scenes and how the stories were put together.

A wonderful set of DVDs complete with fantastic new interviews; the companion book is short, but enjoyable. The best part, though, is simply the episodes themselves. This is television at its best.

I was one of those who actually got to see the show, one episode, when it was on ABC. I'm not even sure which episode it was, but I caught the tail end of it, and then it was gone. When I showed up on MTV I had just gotten cable, but I saw it disjointed because I would catch an episode here and there. Suffice to say I really love the show for its writing and acting. It can start to get a little melodramatic, but come on, it was the 90's, who wasn't melodramatic. I loved the little insights that Angela would say in a passing manor. Because, even though they came off as just a throw-away thought, there was actually some deep thinking behind those thoughts.
Today's "teen" shows have nothing on MSCL, because they're based in some fantasy world where everyone is rich, beautiful, and only goes to school to socialize. No one deals with problems that go beyond blank sleeping with blanky, while also with blankwitz. I mean come on, I don't know what fancy world these people live in, but none of my friends were hopping in and out of each other's beds. My point is, today's shows are meant for escape, not for real introspection. All these years later I still find something new when I watch the show that makes me go, "Wow, things don't change."
The "book" is good, but is more like a bunch of trivia information than an actual book. Would be be cool is if someone could go to the writers of the show and ask them what they were planning for season two. That would make a good book.
