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

MSCL is the the best teen series ever. This gripping and heartfelt show left millions of young people like me changed for life. THis is truly the most realistic and honest series ever on tv and it crushed millions of fans worldwide when it was canceled and we are very pleased to be able to re-witness this truly remarkable show agian and agian! it gets better every time, we only wish that we could have all the episodes!

My So-Called Life was a great show, that actually caught my attention to watch it. Claire Danes is a wonderful actress, and she can play any role very well. This show was NOTHING like cheezy shows such as Dawson's Creek, it was'nt some fake teen melo-drama that was so completely fake and stupid that it made you want to change the channel. This show was great, and it should'nt have been cancelled. It showed what every day teenagers go through and how they act. I recommend watching this and seeing for yourself how great it is.

Dude, Like MSCL Rocks and it's so awesome that we can finally watch it on video (since it's oh so premature knock off the air *sob*) nevertheless, we must make due with what they give us and Reruns it shall be. Thanks for selling these awesome tapes.

I have yet to get this one on tape but I just love the one I have now! I am so obsessed with Claire Danes. I even have a shrine of her on my wall. I have seen every movie except for The Mod Squad but I am going to see that today. I think that MSCL should come back. Like, I mean, have it on a TV channel like they used to. I would live to see it on a regular basis on, like, TBS or something. Thank you for listening to me.

THIS SHOW WAS SO AWSOME !!! IT'S A SHAME IT WAS CANCELLED .I NEVER SAW I TEEN DRAMA THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED WHAT TEENS GO THROUGH . IT'S LIKE WATCHING YOUR OWN LIFE .THIS SHOW IS THE MOST REALISTIC SERIES I'VE EVER SEEN . THE WAY I CAN RELATE TO IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE . THE CRITICS WEREN'T LYING WHEN THEY SAID '' THIS IS THE FIRST SHOW TO GET TEENS RIGHT.''

i think that the movis was good but on the other hand i have seen better and i think that they could of made the movie better then it was.
