(COMTEX) B: AnotherUniverse.com Releases 'My So-Called Life' DVD Set Com B: AnotherUniverse.com Releases 'My So-Called Life' DVD Set Complete Episodes of Golden-Globe Winning TV Series to Be Available For the First Time Ever October 29 With Release of 6-DVD Set Show That Launched the Careers of Claire Danes, Jared Leto, and Wilson Cruz Now a Cult Favorite - Release Comes on the Heels of Unique Fan Petition Drive
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct 22, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- On October 29, 2002, AnotherUniverse.com will release My So-Called Life DVD Collection -- the complete DVD anthology containing all 19 episodes of the famed early-90's TV series, available exclusively at http://www.anotheruniverse.com/mscldvd . The collection marks the first time this audience favorite has been available in its entirety, and each 5-DVD set comes with special packaging and a bonus 6th DVD containing rare interviews from the cast, writer and producers of the show.
Starring a then 13-year old Claire Danes as Angela Chase, My So-Called Life documented the trials and traumas of adolescence in a way that proved uncannily resonant with fans. In addition to Danes (Romeo and Juliet, Terminator 3), the show launched the careers of Jared Leto (Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream) as Jordan Catalano, Chase's on-again-off-again love interest; and Wilson Cruz as Rickie Velasquez, one of the first realistic openly gay characters on network television. Debuting in 1994 on ABC, the show went on to become a hit on MTV. Danes was nominated for an Emmy and won a 1995 Golden Globe (Best Actress in a TV Drama) for her role in the show.
Despite being off the air, My So-Called Life's popularity has grown since the completion of its run in 1995, spawning numerous fan clubs and websites, with rare copies of episodes fetching hundreds of dollars from collectors. Many of these fans joined together and gathered over 4,000 signatures in a unique petition, and in 2002, CMI Holdings, Another Universe parent company and the world's largest retailer of entertainment collectibles, signed a deal with BMG Special Products to make this collection available.
The Collectors Edition of My So-Called Life includes a limited edition lunchbox, bonus disk and the full 19 episode season of My So-Called Life.
