Parent reviews for My So-Called Life

Frankly, Commons Sense's review is more offensive that the show ever was. I would rather have kids watch the show than read your review calling an adolescent girl a "tramp" and talking about "homosexuality." I rely on this website to make good decisions about what to watch with the kids. If this is how you describe women and folks who don't identify as straight, I don't know how much I can trust your reviews.

the only problem is the scenes of implied sex of Angela's parents.

When this show came out, I was well beyond my teens, but I always thought it was one of the more realistic shows for teens. Also, I love Claire Danes. I will probably suggest it for my daughter when she is older (she is 12 now.)

A show from the 90's. I was only little then and none of this concerned me. However, when I watch it now, I'd say that it's very real. Reality is lacking from television these days, so this is a good show.
