All the same, Holzman admitted she had lost much of her desire to continue the show after learning Danes didn't want to return for a second season. While My So-Called Life wasn't a rating giant by the standards of the '90s, it did have a devoted following and became one of the first shows whose fans launched an online campaign to save it from cancelation.

In an interview included with My So-Called Life DVD boxset, executive producer Marshall Herskovitz said Danes and her parents had told the series' producers she didn't want to come back if the show was renewed, admitting the series' creators were "very upset completely understood what her motivation was." Holzman, in the same interview, added ABC was "so on the fence" about renewing the series anyway and more or less used Danes' request as a "convenient" excuse for canceling it. If anything, this has made it easier for those who grew up on My So-Called Life to revisit the series years later, this time watching it more from the perspective of the adult characters.ĭespite the show's critical acclaim, which led to Danes winning a Golden Globe for her acting, My So-Called Life was canceled by ABC in 1995. This was all the more unusual when the series aired, well before the rise of programming aimed at both teenagers and older demographics like the majority of shows on The CW. Partly as a way to ease the strain on the show's young actors, many of who were still in school at the time, My So-Called Life often split its attention between its teen leads and the grown-ups in their lives, particularly Angela's parents Patricia (Bess Armstrong) and Graham (Tom Irwin).
