DVD Reviews of My So-Called Life (Complete Series)
DVD Review: my so called life dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
The CD's are in perfect condition. Very happy with this purchase. Would definitely purchase from this seller again ;0) DVD Review: Good Show, Obsolete Box Set
Summary: 2 Stars
My So-Called Life was a good show. It portrayed teen angst well. It was melodramatic at times, but so much better than most of the stuff teenagers get. I think it's good that it ended when it did because it left viewers wanting more. And that's a positive thing. It was a slice of life. It's only appropriate that the show have a short run. I do think the finale could have used some work, though. I didn't like the cliffhanger ending. I don't think the mystery worked, mainly because it felt like the easy way out to leave it like that.
As for this box set, it served its purpose in 2002 and I appreciate that. In 2008, though, there is a more sophisticated DVD set out there, with special features and everything. It's cheaper too. This one is obsolete. Though I'm not sure if the other one has subtitles or not.
I gave this two stars because I would really advise fans to buy the new version. I only wish I had. It has special features and I imagine it must be packaged better. This one is big enough to hold two or three VHS tapes.
DVD Review: Havent seen such great writing and directing for a series in years....
Summary: 5 Stars
This show is phenomenal! I was thirteen when the show ended and too young to understand the depth and brilliance of the show at the time but now in my mid twenties, I am able to appreciate it for all of its complexities and the innovative approach to discussing and revealing teenage thoughts, mid-life crises, homosexuality-- this show tackled it all. It's definitely not the show for the average joe, which is probably why it got cancelled way before its time. I watch it over and over again and learn something new or find something that I missed every time. This is the type of show you wish would return back to the small screen, but each member of the cast vital to the show's existence and the show would lose much of its effect if it was recast.... Amazing show, I wish there were 20 more episodes! Fantastic script, fantastic cast, fantastic memories. Thanks for the DVD! Amazing show! There is no other show like it and I will definitely pass on to my kids. DVD Review: BOOTLEG!! BEWARE!!
Summary: 1 Stars

DVD Review: One of the gems of the 1990s...
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the greatest shows that molded a generation...on DVD! I was just in Target and saw another box set of the series, but this was the first. We relived all the teen angst and all the agony of high school all over again in it's glory. Whether you get it here or anywhere, the full series of My So Called Life is an excellent series that takes an honest look at the life of high schoolers in the 1990s. (Sort of the anti-Saved By the Bell.)
Description of My So-Called Life (Complete Series)
For the first time ever, all 19 episodes of the critically-acclaimed television show My So-Called Life, starring Claire Danes, are available in one 5 disc DVD box set. Her portrayal of Angela Chase, the angst-ridden, introspective teen earned Clare Danes a Golden Globe. Even today, after being off the air since early 1995, the show has thousands of fans all around the world.One of the most acclaimed series on TV during its brief run from 1994-1995, My So-Called Life pioneered the modern teen drama and made a star out of 15-year-old Claire Danes. Ostensibly centering around the trials and tribulations of high schooler Angela Chase, My So-Called Life actually expanded to include everyone in its protagonist's orbit, from school friends to extended family, and gave its stellar ensemble cast ripe material to work with during its too-short life. Produced by thirtysomething creators Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, MSCL evoked that yuppie-friendly show with its emphasis on finding extraordinary drama within ordinary situations, but was far more heartfelt and heart-wrenching, echoing the dizzying highs and lows of adolescence. As such, it developed a cult following among young viewers who identified strongly with Angela's high school traumas and followed her every move with rapt attention. (After cancellation, the show enjoyed a popular reprise on MTV.)
Avoiding the sensational, My So-Called Life tackled every teen hot-button issue imaginable (and pioneered the then-controversial topic of teen homosexuality), but with a clear-eyed perspective, never dissolving into soap opera--even when Angela mooned over heartthrob Jordan Catalano (dreamy Jared Leto). Even as it mined adolescent angst, though, My So-Called Life never lost sight of its adults, with Bess Armstrong and Tom Irwin both phenomenal as Angela's parents, whose marriage was one of the most complex seen on TV since... well, thirtysomething. Through it all, Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Danes was a neurotic, touching, and funny center, whether obsessing over a zit or negotiating the rocky terrain of first love. Her funny, sobering, and empathetic portrait of teendom reminded us that in some ways, life was just an extended version of high school. --Mark Englehart
