5.0 out of 5 stars buy this for the "real" show, February 9, 2000

This review is from: My So-Called Life (Box Set 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I found out Fox Family channel was showing My So Called Life again I was thrilled, until I saw their HIGHLY edited episodes. Fox cut the heart out of the show by "censoring" important dialouge. Buy it on tape and skip Fox's reruns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Well Could Be The Best Show Ever Cancelled!, May 2, 2000

This review is from: My So-Called Life (Box Set 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

.. This amazingly crafted show was brillant. I don't know asingle person who wasn't completely in love with it. (makes you wonderwhy they cancelled it) We all could see ourlselves as Angela, Brian,Rayann, Ricky, or Jordan. It covered every emotion and problem that a teenager could face. And, the beautiful thing about this show was that it wasn't limited to "teeny-boppers"....20's and 30 somethings loved it too... Now, I don't have to keep watching my dubbed copies from MTV re-runs,... and can have them all, to keep forever. This is a fabulous collection for anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best television to come along in years, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: My So-Called Life (Box Set 1) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember when I first read about this new show called My So-Called Life. I thought to myself, great another show that thinks it knows what it's like to be a teenager. So I tuned in that first night just to prove myself right. Instead of a sugar coated rendition of growing up, aka The Wonder Years, I was drawn in almost immediately by this story that could have so easily been my own life and I tuned in faithfully every single week after. I was almost brought to tears when the show was cancelled so intense was my devotion. In hindsight though, the few episodes that do exist will stand the test of time, while the hundreds of other teen drama will all be a distant memory after the last credits role. Long live My So-Called Life!
