‘My So-Called Life’
Airing in 1994, “My So-Called Life” tackled many issues for teens in a way that hadn’t been done before. Rather than being soapy or preachy, it had a real-world approach to topics like homophobia, sex, and drug use. The show is critically acclaimed and is one of TIME Magazine’s All-TIME 100 TV Shows. Though fans rallied to keep the show on the air after its cancellation, it wasn’t enough, and the show never saw a second season.
