The is one of the greatest and one of the only relentlessly realistic shows on TV in my opinion. I'm not sure why it was cancelled after one season? Did it really have bad ratings? It couldn't have. Obviously people watched it due to the fact that there were so many fans protesting its cancellation. It almost came back. Claire Danes couldn't come back because of her film schedule. There that ended. Good-bye. I don't blame Ms. Danes, her becoming a star was inevitable. Winnie Holzman is such a brilliant writer of everything. Her writing on this series was unbelievably realistic. This show had perfect everything: music, direction, lighting, clothes, hair, cinematography, not to mention acting. Claire Danes was only 13 when she got the part, and I still think this series was her best acting job. Her portrayal of Angela Chase was incredible, and it earned her a Golden Globe. I was even amazed by the way she recited the voice-overs. The executives at ABC obviously didn't notice that she won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy. Devon Gummersall, Wilson Cruz, Devon Odessa, and A.J. Langer were all in their late teens, and they all shined. I think Wilson Cruz was born to play Rickie Vasquez. He was the first gay teenager on television who wasn't apologetic about it. This show proves that A.J. Langer could play almost any kind of adolescent character(I mean...Did you see her in The People Under the Stairs?)Devon Odessa was great. A lot of people hate Sharon when they shouldn't. She didn't do anything wrong, really. Devon Gummersall was also perfect as Brian Krakow. The moment when he hurts Delia was painful, but they were both good. Lisa Wilhoit was the perfect 11-year-old actress to play the annoying little sister who just wanted some attention. Oh, and the parents were brilliantly played. They had such great chemistry, and were such perfect at playing the parents of a 15-year-old girl. Each voice-over by Angela, episode, and situation was so realistic. The series was just too good. I don't know why they cancelled this show and left us with so many questions. Did ABC not notice that this show was getting critical acclaim, awards, and an amazing amount of fans? Obviously not. I'm glad they regret cancelling this show. And for even more irony, they felt bad for cancelling it so they created "life as we know it" and cancelled it after one season!!!

Okay, in 1994 I was obsessed with Macaulay Culkin. When I saw a trailer for this film, I couldn't wait to see it. When I went to see it though, my family and I were the only ones in the theatre! The same thing happened to my aunt and my cousins. I remember loving the film. I wanted that awesome bike he had. I got the videogame, and I got my copy on video. AND JAMES HORNER'S SCORE WAS AMAZING! I thought it was a good movie that had all the genres, even cooler that it was live action/animation. It's sad about it's bomb at the box office. It's quite a forgettable film, but I love it and I still do. Don't forget that Joe Johnston who is now quite acclaimed directed the live action scenes. Great for him.

This film is wonderful. I remember loving it when it came out. I thought all the acting was impressively great. It had a lot of great stars. BEN KINGSLEY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Pre-Schindler's List. Joan Allen. She's an amazing actress. No one could forget Joe Magtegna as the father. Or Josh himself, Max did wonderful in this movie. I wonder where he is now. But one thing I will never forget is the music, this movie had such wonderful music. James Horner is quite brilliant. He's up on the best film composer list with John Williams, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, and all the others.
