My So Called Life

Blast from the past....the year was 1994. Angela Chase was in love with Jordan Catilano and MTV's My So Called Life was my favorite show. 19 episodes in the entire series, I never understood why the network cancelled MSCL...it will forever be a classic 90's show that instantly transports me back to high school and my early college days. Teenage angst, friendship, first love, fitting in, zits, identity crisis, peer pressure, family drama...the good, bad and ugly of it all! As much as I love my 80's brat pack classics....MSCL is all 90's and I love that Netflix has the entire series for me to rewatch and relive whenever I want.

I watched 2 episodes tonight...11& 12....12 is one of my favs and my love of Buffalo Tom started with this episode. Angela keeps skipping class to make out with Jordan in the basement of school. He likes her but doesn't want to admit it to his friends or himself. Then there is the moment at the end, where the light comes on, he realizes he likes her, really likes her, and crosses the hallway, asks if they can "go somewhere", they leave together and he takes her hand! Ahhhhh.....and in the background...Buffalo Tom's "Late at Night" is playing...see watch it for yourself here.

Obviously, Claire Danes becomes a big star and Jared Leto...kinda, but what ever happened to the rest of My So Called Life's cast....Ricky, Raeann, Sharon, Brian??
They don't make shows like they use to. Feeling nostalgic....put in some Buffalo Tom and My So Called Life...it will just make you smile!
