5.0 out of 5 stars This show was simply better than television., February 25, 2000

By

This review is from: My So-Called Life: "Strangers in the House," "Other People's Mothers" [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It was cancelled because america and the networks were not willing to listen to the loyal veiwers and critics who understood just how special this show really was. No show, other than this one, has ever come so close to trully describing life as an average teen. It showed the emotion of life at home and at school with a brilliant cast of actors who were able to really put themselves in their roles. The moods, the settings, the events felt so real that it was almost like walking back into highschool. This review may sound like to much to believe, but I have never seen a show like this on television since. I can only hope someone decides to put as much time into future works. The series may become a sort of a cult classic in time, but those of us who trully loved it understand the power of brilliant writing, bueatiful scenes , and the trully wonderful cast that made this show so good. Each episode is a lesson and a reminder of what it was like to be a teen. There are few shows on TV that were good enough to be something more that a series of episodes. The creators painted a picture of life for us to view with all of its reality, emotion, drama, anxiety, happiness and pian. For the people who do not understand its attraction to obsession I must ask, what was your highschool life like? This was mine. I thank them for reminding me just how real and emotional a time it was.

sorry- this is not a review- please ask the producers of this video to make it in PAL (or whatever the U.K format is) I would buy them all then
