Oh to have seen this show in it's day

I have a huge confession to make, the first time i saw My so called life was two days ago, monday, yeah i know. it's horribly sad but unfortunatly i was 9 when the show aired and i think perhaps that would not have gone over well with the 'rents.
anyway i was shocked to learn the truth, only one season? 19 Episodes, that's crazy i thought, it's so good!
now you must understand while i always knew the show had existed and that the critics liked it, i never really wanted to go out of my way to see it, until a encore airing of the top 100 things that made the 90's rule , and i saw a young Jared Leto
MY GOD, he was FINE!
Sign me up i screamed at the TV and hurridly checked online to see if the dvd's were available in Canada
Alas no, but yet fortune smiled and the family channel decided to air all the episodes for the tenth anniversary
but after seeing three shows i was hooked, and eagerly awaited the airing of subsequent episodes, i was psyched!
then i learned of the show's cruel fate, how it was yanked out in it's prime against the wishes of fans everywhere
but then i was reminded of something else that happened in 1994
Kurt Cobain Died
and the world felt cheated. But now 10 years after his death, nearly 40 years after the death of various icons of the 60's and 70's, People began to speculate that it was better that way, they died when the world loved them, could they have gone on to make amazing music? probably. But would they eventually become something unrecognizable? Much like a very famous singer who was amazing in the 50's but died well after his prime in 77? that too was probable.
so i dont think of My So-Called Life as a TV show that disapointed the World when it last only one season, or just barely with only 19 episodes
it was more like a Miniseries
a series of hour long sections of a great story with no real ending but the message was recieved, very well recieved by the looks of this website
So heres to the most amazing Miniseries ever made
Happy Anniversary
P.S. any word on when this masterful Miniseries will be available in my humble region of Canada, just slightly left of center?
thanks, ciao bebe
