so, i never watched "My So Called Life" when it was new. browsing netflix today i thought i would give it a try.

first, it looks like the streaming version was ripped from an old VHS. the quality is crap.

second, it appears that there is a fundamental disconnect between the 'adults' that were apparently writing this show and the teenagers it attempts to portray.

it is as if someone said, "here, let's use words that sound 'hip' (albeit in an age of grunge)"

in biology(maybe it's "science" class) they are dissecting hearts and call it vivisection, then they start babbling about hypotheses... nope. we can't afford teaching or science consultants to make us not sound super dumb.
