Gone Too Soon: Television Shows Canceled Before It Was Their Time

My So-Called Life

Right…RIGHT?! I could have made this entire post about the love I had/have for this show but I will not go into stan mode.  The bottom line is that MSCL was way before its time and people did not understand what Angela was going through! It wasn’t enough that tweens and teens watched; no, the network needed the adults to watch in order to take the ratings over the top. One season. We got one season to look at fine Jordan Catalano…even if he was one of the dumbest boys on television. Also, Claire Danes, who played the star character Angela Chase, didn’t want to return saying that the filming was too taxing. While ABC said they would have continued the show without her, the creator of the show said she was loyal to Danes and didn’t really feel “into” doing the show without her.  I will never get over this show being cancelled. EVER.
