TV Show Time Machine: My So-Called Life

Rayanne: Haven’t you ever waited for anything?
Rickie: Yeah, for my life to start.
I started watching My So-Called Life after it had been cancelled and MTV started playing reruns all the time. I didn’t even see the series from the beginning. The first episode I saw was “Self-Esteem” (Episode 12) and by the end of it, my teen self swooned and cheered when Jordan held Angela’s hand in the hallway in front of everyone. (Iconic TV moment if you ask me!) The point is, it didn’t take me long to care about these characters. They were so real and honest and unlike any other depiction of high school at the time. From the moment I watched, it left an impression on me.
Let’s rewind back a bit.
