I think what GGC is trying to say is that MSCL was awesome because it showed the awkwardness both inside and out, whereas teen shows now show awkwardness nowhere. Let girls be girls--goofy, dancing to "Blister in the Sun" like fools, arguing with their siblings, fantasizing about stabbing their mother in the eye with a fork--however they're portrayed, they should be real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-19952678864906309562007-11-05T08:42:00.000-08:002007-11-05T08:42:00.000-08:00I can't stand those shows and I can't believe that...I can't stand those shows and I can't believe that My so-called life only lasted one season.

It was almost as if Angela was your friend, her school was your school, her life yours. It was relatable.
