So there's this great show that's going off the air and we totally need to save it-My So-Called Life, about a sensitive adolescent girl named Angela and her somewhat less sensitive adolescent friends. There's also this totally hot guy, who doesn't really talk but he's sooo cool and I'd totally steal him from Angela just like Rayanne does halfway through the seas. oops, I don't want to spoil it for you!
But here's the deal: Even though everyone I know watches it-it only has about 19 million viewers-and even though those 19 million are having their lives changed every Tuesday night, knowing they're not alone in their adolescent angst, ABC says that's not enough and is trying to pull the plug! What the hell?! It's the best written show on television!
I started a letter-writing campaign, and I hope you'll all join me. To find out more, check out my fansite, www.angelfire.com/jordan_catalano_ is_my_god and get the addresses you need, plus other cool stuff. For instance, you can find the mp3 files of Jordan's song "Red" and Rayanne trying to sing REM with his band (how embarrassing was that?) and trivia-like to see if you know what color hair dye Angela uses and what night it is that Brian calls the Teen Helpline. I also have a Jordan Catalano FAQ and some top-10 lists of why he's the perfect guy, 'cos he totally is. Plus, there are a lot of dreamy pics!
We at Recess don't have the heart to tell Meghan that My So-Called Life went off the air in middle school and continue to encourage her denial.
