As we grow older, and move from one life phase to the next, the television characters who helped us figure out our way once upon a time remain in the stories and worlds that we love.
This can be a comfort, when revisiting a classic series, especially those shows that featured teenagers trying to sort out life exactly when you, too, were at that tender and trying moment.
"My So-Called Life" is definitely in that cherished category for many people who found themselves weathering the shoals of adolescence around the mid-1990s.
And it is, if you can believe it, turning 25 in 2019.
But surely you can believe it, if you've re-watched the compelling, issues-deep drama over the years since it first premiered in 1994, as a way to reconnect with Angela Chase, Rickie Vasquez, Rayanne Graff, and the other well-drawn characters seen on the show.
To celebrate this milestone, and to give fans a way to come together for a few hours, The Paley Center for Media is screening three episodes of the Winnie Holzman-helmed series on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 3, and again on Aug. 4 (the same episodes screened on Saturday).

This is all free to see, but do RSVP.
So don your favorite sweater and velvet choker, the ones you first bought a quarter century ago because they seemed like something Angela Chase might wear, and make for the Paley Center for this come-together moment in honor of an enduring and heartfelt drama.
