my so-called life

i've been watching the my so-called life dvds lately. i love that show so much. so i was wondering, who was your favorite character on the show?
mine was angela chase. jordan catalano was definitly very sexy and mysterious though

Ooooo! I didn't even know that it was out on DVD!! MSCL was absolutely my favourite show when it was on, I'll definitely have to pick up the DVDs. You just made my night!

I had such a mad crush on Jordan... I found Requim for a Dream extra disturbing for this reason.

haha, I love my dvds too. It's so much nicer than the stupid millions of tapes I had. um, favourite character is either angela or brian.

best brian quote: "Finally. An erection from actual physical contact."

and I loved this...
"You wanna have sex with him."
"Who??"
"'Who'?? Jordan! Catalano...?"
"I just love how he's always... leaning... against stuff. He leans great. Well, either sex or a conversation, ideally both."

I, like... love.. how she, like.. always says like.. and... pauses. In conversations. You know, in MY humble opinion.

(wow, I watch too much My So-Called Life...)

brian is such a great character.
i forgot all about that erection quote of his. i laughed so hard when i heard that again because it just was way too pathetically true for his character.

Ohmigawd........i have all the episodes on VHS..........old school.........i love angela......

in one episode someone wore an "eric's trip" shirt, which i'm pretty sure was in reference to the canadian band, not the sonic youth song (although either would be fine).

can't remember exactly who, or the details, but the show kicks ass just for that.

Oh my gosh! I was still in elementary school when My So-Called Life was still on TV (before MTV showed reruns). I loved that show - I was Angela for Halloween one year haha. I haven't seen it in forever though. I remember she was in class and the thought voice-over thing of hers said something like, "Don't you hate it when you say something and then it just keeps sounding stupider and stupider?"

I bought this outfit for my Cabbage Patch Kid once too because the jacket was - and I quote - "very Jordan Catalano."

Remember when they were going to cancel it and it was a toss-up between that and Party Of Five and they decided to keep Party Of Five? *sigh*

"Go, now... go!" *cue theme song*

I just remembered that the last episode aired on my birthday.

I think I'm one of the few people of my age who saw My So-Called Life and didn't identify with it. It just wasn't my life.

My favorite character on the show was only in one episode. It was the substitute English teacher, Vic Racine, played by Roger Rees. Strangely, it was the first episode that I ever watched, and it was really the only one that I could relate to at all. All of the other episodes of the show dealt with things that I never really experienced (I never had issues with my parents, my high school relationships were always far easier than Angela's, etc), but that episode dealt with someone I had experience: a relationship with a cool teacher and censorship for expressive sexuality.

Vic's line, "Where do we go from here? We go further," will stick with me forever.

goddamn i loved that show. i used to have most of the episodes on vhs, but they've gotten lost over the years.

favorite scene was when Jordan and Brian find out they are tutor-buddies. Reminded me of the song" I got the brains you have the brawn lets make lots of money" and the scene was sort of like
Jordan; " who is brain?"
Brian " ah tha is me see b-r-i-a-n?"
Then Jordan tries to help him get chicks and Brian helps him read. Ricky's was my fav because he was the most tragic character and it was a brave role to play.

ATTN: THREAD HIJACK IN PROGRESS!!!

FAV DEGRASSI CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cue theme song:
Wake up in the morning, feeling kind of lonely, gee i gotta go to school

Dont think i can make it, dont think i can take it, what am i gonna doooo?

But then i turn around and see, hey... someone is talking to me... ive got a new friend...

WHAT WAS THAT SGish CHICKS NAME?

SPIKE!!!!!!!! MY FAV

Love the way they say 'about' too!!!

I want to see more of it! I saw half an episode when I was 15 and that was it!

MORE WHAT.... DEGRASSI, RIGHT?!

the hell woth degrassi. man i frien my brain way to much so i only have bits and pieces not names but i really liked that blond chick that wa always out partying, i saw her on vh1 where are they nowshe still acts but doesnt have any really spectacular spots other then mscl, oh and she grew up to be a surf hippy

I LOVED My So Called Life. I, like every other teenage boy had the BIGGEST crush on Claire Danes.

i gotta agree with cash on that one... im reminded of a crappy novelty song i heard on the radio back in college:

"i'm gonna pick up some beer
stay at home
and stare at my Claire Danes poster..."

Favourite character? Juliana Hatfield playing the "Angel" on that killer Christmas episode.

And yes, the "Brain" comment still makes me howl.

I am hypnotized by those pictures of Claire Danes... I'd forgotten how beautiful she was.

Rent Igby Goes Down, it was pretty good. She's also coming out in a Thomas Vinterberg film called IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE with Joaquin Phoenix and Sean Penn.

No I'm not stalking her, was just in the middle of reading an article.

i watched more my so-called life last night. it was the episode where jordan is trying to have sex with angela, but she's scared and so they break up. and then after they break up she says something like "he still knows my locker combination" and then they show him randomly openly her locker for her. it reminded me so much of high school and how you knew all of your friends locker combinations and everyone would leave notes for each other all the time.
i've decided that i am going to marry jordan catalano, and no on can stop me.
did everyone ever noticed that there was that guy named "tino" who was talked about several times in every single episode, but he never made an appearance during the entire life of the show? he was even more mysterious than jordan
