Mrm. So I just rented the videos from the library (baah I can't seem to find it anywhere else). Does anyone remember or has anyone seen this series? It makes me kind of sad because Jared's quite the jerk in it.

I just read about it on wikipedia, the themes make it seem pretty interesting. I wish I could have watched it...
QUOTE My So-Called Life brought up issues that were usually not mentioned in family series in the mid-nineties, when it was aired. These include child abuse, homophobia, teenage alcoholism, homelessness, adultery, kinky sex, same-sex parenting, censorship, and drug use, among many others. While a lot of shows would bring up these themes as a one-time issue (a "very special episode") that would be brought up as a problem at the beginning of an episode and resolved as the end, in My So-Called Life, they were just a part of the world. The very title of the show emphasizes how the perception of meaninglessness that many teenagers experience is the main theme of the series. The show depicts teenage years as difficult and confusing as opposed to a light fun-filled time of pranks and jokes, as it would be in sitcoms like Parker Lewis Can't Lose or Saved by the Bell or in movies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
