My So-called Life sounds very like an Australian production called Heartbreak High based on a movie called The Heartbreak Kid. It has been a disaster in the ratings as well. It seems that viewers the same age as the characters prefer something like Beverley Hills (zip code escapes me) which was a huge hit here.
