• My So-Called Life: Complete Series on DVD

  A beautiful repackaging of the 1994 series, which closely examined the life of a middle-class 15-year-old Pittsburgh teen, and that of her parents and friends. The box itself is very lovely, and comes with a booklet of information, including a forward by Joss Whedon, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame, on the series’ influence on him and most “teen” television. The picture quality is better than any previously released. And to top it off, we finally have bonus features: Episode commentaries, Featurettes, Interviews, archival footage… It’s fabulous.
