My So-Called Life: The Rise and FRUSTRATING Fall of a Show JUST Ahead of Its Time

What happened to My So-Called Life? Claire Danes won a Golden Globe, critics LOVED it... And it only lasted 19 episodes. In this video, we break down the rise and frustrating fall of My So-Called Life. I cover the casting of Claire Danes, the unintended rise of Jared Leto, ABC’s brutal scheduling, the disastrous ratings, the unprecedented attempts to save the show, the horrible cliffhanger, the controversy surrounding Danes’ decision to move on from the show, and how the television landscape transformed JUST as the show was cancelled. Tragic! As always, thanks for watching.
