Default 1990s teen dramas: My so called life, Press Gang, Round the twist et al
Who grew up on and can recall these classic shows that made youth drama great:

Girl from tomorrow
Fraggle rock
Press Gang
Round the twist
Streetwise
My so called life


Streetwise was the drama about bicycle couriers shown on ITV.
Later there was My so called life which had Jared Leto as the main lad, look where he got to now with his rockband.

Round the Twist wasn't a teen-drama!

My So-Called Life was awesome! Had Claire Danes & Jared Leto

Does it really count as a drama? You might as well ask why no one's mentioned Kenan and Kel.

I wouldn't say that Fraggle Rock was a drama.

Grange Hill - although I watched it during the 80s

How did I not notice Fraggle Rock when I read through the list the first time?

Yeah... hard-hitting stuff there.

I loved Press Gang, starring a very young Julia Sawalha (or Julia Sawalha in her twenties playing a teenager).
Also starring Dexter Fletcher, whom she went out with in real life!

Okay some of the things on my list wern't strictly teen dramas but they ended up coming out when typing as they were roughly part of that era, almost.

Most boys who watched My so called life wished that they were Jordan Catalano, or at least as cool as him

The Wonder Years. Or was that the 80s? Kind of hard to tell them apart these days.
