As each week goes by, I remain amazed at the lack of commercial success and critical attention given _My So-Called Life_, the ABC drama (Thursdays, 8-9 pm). Moi aussi. I think part of it is a demographic problem. My own informal surveying indicates that women in the 25-40 age bracket are great fans of the show--if they can watch it. The writer (Winnie Holtzman) is tapping in to our memories, our anxieties, our lives in a real dynamic way. Plus Clare Danes (the reallife teen who plays angela chase, the vidheroine) is enchanting--beautiful and painful. this is no 90210 (with 30 year olds playing 18 year old) and yet they seem to nbe marketing it to the same audience--preteens. The preteens prefer the glamorous, false, hollywood version of highschool life and not the chaotic, uncertain, vague world angela, jordan, ricki, brian, and rayanne inhabit. The timeslot is poisonous because it is too early in the evening for most of us to stop and watch tv. The writing is great. There is, of course, something manipulative about the words of retrospective wisdom coming out of 'angela's' brain. But i don't really mind. I too am worried about its prospect for the future. I never write letters to networks, but I actually am considering it in this case. kal kal alston ed pol studies/ women's studies uiuc 380 education champaign, il 61820 217-333-3673(ofc)/333-2446(sec'y)
