Agreed! LOVE My So called life. I paid a ton of money for the 1st DVD set years ago. Then they finally re-released it. I haven't bought that yet. Yet.... ;)

Loved So Called Life... Loved Felicity... Loved Dawson's Creek.

Favorite DVD set I own is The Wonder Years. :)

I loved the episodes of this show I saw so much that I'm actually afraid to watch them all. (I'm weird like that, but if there are some I haven't seen then... the show's not over, right?) I agree that the one season is almost perfect -- and then, it's just NOT ENOUGH.

SIGH!!!

I'm a big Herskovitz/Zwick fan, too, but I've never seen any of RELATIVITY. I did watch the other twentysomething (QUARTERLIFE) on the internet a couple years ago, though.

What is the difference in the two versions? I wasn't aware of it. One of my favorite shows ever as well - as well as Felicity. I don't have that on tape though, and haven't thought about it for a while. Now I feel like watching it again.

I loved this one as well - I've seen every episode so many times, although I don't have it on DVD. This particular scene is so perfect; it's what made me think Jordan was worthy of Angela, that he might get it together that even though he was all the things you mention, he had promise. He had guts.

He was just so freaking cool - and the only cool guy ever to actually use his cool for good and date the great girl!!! ha!

Mollie, I just checked my shelves and I also have a solo DVD of three eps. I must have bought it when they sold solo DVDs of eps before realizing box sets was the way to go.

Jeanne, oh I'd love to rewatch that! I think that was one that had music rights issues. Not sure. Does the music sound different?

tanita, as I'm watching series on DVDs I definately get to the point where I want to drag it out so it doesn't end.

Elissa, I really liked Relativity. It had Kimberly Williams and oh the rest of the cast! Jim from GHOST WHISPERER, and the boss from HOUSE, and Poppy Montgomery, and the actor who played Brian Krakow. QUARTERLIFE is the one I haven't watched at all.

MR, the second set has to die for extras. Both extras on the discs, but also print extras with details like how a year passed between shooting the pilot and the rest of the season. Which you can kinda tell from Claire Danes height.

Colleen, remember his song Red? Which turned out to be about his car? I'd love to know where they would have gone with his character, to keep him Jordan without turning him into Jesse from Gilmore Girls.

Oh, My So Called Life. Love that show. I only missed one episode. Will have to catch it on the DVD. Thanks, Liz.

I just added the series to my Netflix queue. I have heard much about this series but missed it when it was on the first time. Thanks for the rec!

Oh I love this show. Remember when they aired the whole series, marathon style, on MTV? I made my dad record it, and then my friends and I watched those tapes until you could barely recognize the characters on the screen. Also, by the millionth time around we had all succumbed, at least once, to the advertisements for the crappy hair dye that sponsored marathon.

I wish the new set didn't have more extras than the first. It seems silly to own both, but I guess if there's a real reason to get the second set...

I Loved this series! Felicity and Party of Five as well, but this one holds a special place in my heart. It was on during my Junior year in high school and I was in so many ways just like Angela. Destined to never be with a boy who didn't end up being gay, always hanging with the theater and band geeks. Just out there.

I loved having a show that was so perfect in it's portrayal of a typical high school girl, not the inflated Gossip Girls of today (not that those don't have there place, but you know). Just perfect! Great choice and great write up!

MSCL probably influenced my writing more than any book. (Should I have admitted that???)

In fact, I was one of the die-hard fans who promised to buy the complete DVD series if they produced it. No one was releasing full series back then, so they said they would only do it if a certain number of fans crossed their hearts and promised to buy it. I crossed my heart, so I got the limited edition MSCL set...which came in an MSCL lunchbox!!!

It's one of my most cherished possessions. (Should I have admitted that???)

Jay - I once followed an ebay auction of one of those lunchboxes that was over $250 when I gave up hope. For just the lunchbox.

susan, what episode did you miss? (the things i obsess over..)

debbi, i hope you enjoy it -- and if you do, let me know, because it makes this worthwhile

lawral, i really like the extras with the later set. they are real and substantive.

1stdaughter, i've begun watching FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and i think that is pretty good high school -- not glammed like gossip girl. i've been pretty impressed so far.

jay, there is one set then that I don't own! i don't have the lunchbox! and I cannot wait to say "hi" next wednesday at the NJLA GSTBA luncheon

Oh, My So-Called Life! I think that hallway scene might be my favorite TV moment of all time. Perfection.

Loved MSCL. It's like Buffy in it's influence, even for such a short-lived show. Like when you are looking at old photos and your friend says "Who's that?" and you say, "He was my Jordan Catalano" and she totally understands what that means. Sigh.

How I love this show--I was the same age as the characters when it aired, so it's like a personal time machine for me. (If you cross this with Daria, you have an alarmingly good portrait of the teenaged me. Yeep.)

Mr Lush got me the new boxset for Christmas when it came out because I was too poor to buy the original boxset and then it was impossible to find and I was heartbroken. I should have a MSCL marathon as soon as I dig out a babydoll dress, a cross chocker, some flannel, and my Doc Martins.

SPOILER ALERT

Liz, the episode I missed is the one where Rayanne and Jordan get together.
