5.0 out of 5 stars Please release a boxed set with all 19 episodes!, January 1, 2001

This review is from: My So-Called Life: Pilot/Dancing in the Dark/Guns (DVD)

I love "My So-Called Life." It is my favorite TV show of the 1990s.

I watched all 19 episodes when they originally aired. I even remember that one of the episodes (the one with the gun) had to be postponed because a few minutes after it started, the program was interrupted by a news story of a plane crash.

This show touched something inside of me that no other show ever has.

I wish that BMG would release a boxed set with all 19 episodes. I would buy it in an instant.

Many of my friends are big fans of this show. But none of us has purchased this DVD, because we are all waiting for a boxed set that has all of the episodes.

I know that this DVD has not been selling very well. I worry that the people at BMG may be thinking that this means that there is a lack of interest in the show. If so, then they are mistaken.

People aren't avoiding this DVD because they don't like the show. Instead, they are avoiding this DVD because they want a boxed set with all of the episodes.

Let's fact it - this series was a very serious, well written, plot-intensive story. Having only 3 of the episodes simply would not make sense. To really be able to appreciate it, you need to watch all of the episodes, in chronological order.

So if anyone from BMG is reading this, please take my advice! Please release a boxed set with all 19 episodes! If you do, then the fans of the show will gobble it up and you mill make lots and lots of money!

This was a great series, and it deserves to be preserved in its entirety in the DVD format. Let the fans have the opportunity to purchase all of the episodes in one nice, complete package.

This dvd is an excellent improvement over your worn-out videotapes. But don't bother ordering it. Check out the my so-called life Web site at mscl.com for more information about a boxed set. It will be available soon

5.0 out of 5 stars My So Called Life - Full of life!, June 13, 2000

By

This review is from: My So-Called Life: Pilot/Dancing in the Dark/Guns (DVD)

Nominated for four emmies, winner of one golden globe, this show was canned and flamed undeservadely. The writing, acting, direction, and pure eye candy cinematography ooze not only excitement but also show a talent not regularly associated with a low-budget tv series.

This show launched Claire Danes up to the dizzy heights of her fame with "Romeo and Juliet" along-side Leonardo DiCaprio and Brokedown Palace. Her character, Angela Chase, is brilliant in her observancy and her insights get people reliving what it was to be a teenager. But shes far from the heroine we normally get spoon-fed, she fights for what she gets, and gets there in the end.

The show was cancelled after just under 20 shows and in many this might have been a good thing because it was always fresh and lives on in my mind as being one of the best series ever to hit our tv screens.

Get the dvd or video, relive those memories!
