22 Episodes Written
Posted: Feb 17th 2024, 10:30 am
Hi everyone,
So I still watch MSCL about once a year and catch up on the board. I’ve just registered again as I’ve changed my email since 2003 when Another Universe made everyone come together, since then I’ve been content just reading rather than posting, but you’ve all meant a lot to me.
I’ve been reading and listening to “behind the scenes” interviews etc online and several people refer to there being 22 episodes written though only 19 were filmed.
I know “My So-called Life …Goes On” [the book) exists but I don’t think that has anything to do with any scripts that were written, it’s a little too long in terms of content and timeline for that. I’m also sure the extra episodes on the TV guide mentioned on this board were mistakes as previously discussed.
I wondered, like, wouldn’t it be nice to have those scripts? To read through to see where things were going? I know Winnie said that she had ideas for season 2 (and they appear to have changed over the years) but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t scripts she had written and possibly forgotten about for season 1. MSCL never had “cliff hanger” style endings to episodes so I can totally see how three scripts could exist that wouldn’t change the overall dynamic\arc of the characters.
Does anyone have any factual knowledge on this?
