My So-Called Life beautifully, and at times, tragically, depicts the struggles and joys of being a teenager.
My So-Called Life dealt with many controversial issues that teenagers experience and struggle with as they try to find their own identity. Many of the episodes included strong themes such as teenage alcoholism, censorship, homophobia, teenage sex, school violence, homelessness, and drug use. High school is a real life drama and My So-Called Life beautifully, and at times, tragically, depicts the struggles and joys of being a teenager.
The television series aired in 1994-95 and although, only 19 episodes were produced, the show is hugely popular and continues to live on with the release of the complete series in the, newly released, DVD Boxed Set.
My So-Called Life was the best television series, ever. (In my humble opinion.)

Angela's little sister. My So-Called Life was an American television teen drama created by Winnie Holzman and produced by Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz that aired on ABC from August 25, 1994, to January 26, 1995. It was set at the fictional Liberty High in Three Rivers, Pennsylvania, a fictional suburb of Pittsburgh. The critically acclaimed show was short-lived and ended in a cliffhanger with the expectation that it would be picked up in an additional season. 19 episodes were produced before it was cancelled on May 15, 1995, due both to low ratings and to the reluctance, expressed behind the scenes, of star Claire Danes to return for its second season.
