DAE remember when 'My So-Called Life' was canceled just as it found its voice?

ABC dropped it too fast, and it left so much unsaid.

What is it with networks getting cold feet right when a show starts getting good? They pull the plug faster than you can say "Jordan Catalano." Guess we'll always wonder what might have been.

Ugh, right? Do you think they'd still kill a show like that today, or has streaming changed the game?

Cold feet is right. I've got a long history of dropping shows, books, my own hobbies, you name it. Gave up on learning guitar after two weeks. Guess I relate to the networks on a deep, sad level. Guess I'm part of the problem. No wonder I get it.
