No Season Two

(Record on September 10th, 2023) Up this week is “Self-Esteem,” the twelfth episode of My So-Called Life. Angela and Jordan are making out in the school’s boiler room, not for the thrill of it, but because Jordan doesn’t want his friends to know about Angela. Rough! Angela invites herself to a Buffalo Tom concert to prove to Sharon and Rayanne that he’s not treating her like garbage only to have him treat her like garbage right in front of them. We learn that Jordan can’t spell Angela’s name and that Angela is a glutton for punishment. Liberty High finally replaces Ms. Mayhew (no word on if she’s still alive) with Mr. Katimski. Mr. Katimski desperately wants Rickie to join the drama club and will stop at nothing to get him to sign up—except calling him Enrique, he won’t stop doing that. Graham finally starts the cooking class that Patty signed him up for. He meets Hallie Lowenthal, a woman he describes as loud and obnoxious, so you know these two are already in love. Stephan Dieter, the teacher, is on the sauce (not spaghetti) and when he goes to rehab, Hallie convinces the school to let Graham, a man with no credentials of any kind, teach the class. We also get another round of Brian yelling at Angela in her house—someone please, arrest him. He gives Jordan a run for his money in the biggest loser category. George geeks out over Buffalo Tom, even going so far as to pull out a cassette tape. Meaghan talks about the bus route from Loserville to Liberty High—is it a direct route or are there stops? And finally we discuss Mrs. Lerner’s workplace flirtations—harmless or should HR get involved? (Original network air date November 17th, 1994)
