Filmmaker Cameron Crowe was a fan of [My So-Called Life] and included a shot in his film Jerry Maguire (of Jerry and Dorothy talking on a residential street at night) that was an homage to a similarly framed shot in the pilot episode of My So-Called Life.

I’m embarrassed that I haven’t caught this in the 3-4 times I’ve seen Jerry Maguire.  I can tell you off the top of my head that in the My So-Called Life scene, you can see brake lights flaring in the distance.  And Angela does that defining cross-legged stance.  (I only read about this because Juliana Hatfield’s ‘Make It Home’ came up on shuffle.)

My So-Called Life (via cherrypinupgirl)

This is probably my favourite television scene ever. I loved My So-Called Life. It was only recommended to me by a friend about halfway through the series here in the UK, and it took me a while to see the ones I’d missed.

I’ve bought the series twice now on its two different DVD releases and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to put it at the top of my ‘Favourite TV Shows…Ever’ list. And this is the best scene from the show. I’m only posting this because Buffalo Tom’s ‘Late At Night’ just came up on random play on iTunes. And I only bought the album because of this scene.

Jesus, this scene gives me goosebumps every time I see it.

I loved My So-Called Life.
