Why I love the Gilmore Girls.....

[WCGreen]

Forget the snappy repartee that shows more than a few minutes went into writing the dialogue, something sadly lacking on most network TV. Forget that the stories are clever and show how women react to one another as they age, grow closer and then fall away from one another.

No I like the Gilmore Girls because I am at the wonderful age, 47 when all three of the Gilmore Girls, yes I include Emily in the "girls" club, are lovely to look at and charming to see how they react to life swirling around them....

So am I gay. Nah, I still want to have my way with all three of them... One at a time...... What a guy can't have a fantasy....

Does this make me a bad boy or a nice guy......

[stellanoir]

1. Neither

It makes you a smart guy. The only three shows I watch regularly are the Simpsons, the Daily Show, and the Gillmore Girls.

Best character development, dialogue, acting, and plots ever in recent memory on the tube.

The rest is bloody drivvle and I prefer the radio the rest of the time.

[WCGreen]

3. The DAily show is of course Number 1

But The Shield and Rescue me are pretty well written although I think Rescue ME is superior to Shield.

What I really like about the GG is that at the end the pay homage to Dorothy PArker.....

[progmom]

25. hey - me too!

...but The Simpsons has fallen out of that rotation this year, sadly.

[gmoney]

2. Agreed

It doesn't get much better than this...



But I'll leave Emily for you WC.

[WCGreen]

4. Emily looks like she would be hot.......

[realFedUp]

5. oh, for a day in Stars Hollow.....nt

[WCGreen]

6. Except, I can loose Curt.........

And don't you think Paris could go bye bye as well....

[realFedUp]

7. well....Paris can be on vacation...I think Curt is funny and dear

he's a good character for that show...funny
that in the first show he was called by a
different name and was just a delivery guy
or something...

[WCGreen]

10. I don't like charactors like that....

It's like Gabby Hays in all those old cowboy movies...

Cheap Laughs....

But, to each his own. That's what makes the show good......

Paris was fun before she became a characture of herself.....

[Skittles]

8. sorry, I cannot stand that show

the dialogue doesn't ring even remotely true to me

[WCGreen]

9. It;s not suppose to be...

It's suppose to be all about wit and sarcasm and cultural references.....

[realFedUp]

12. If you've bought a season's DVD's, they come with glossary

of all the political/person references in
most of the show segments.

Thank God I understand most of them....ya
gotta be quick.

[Skittles]

15. well

that would be OK, but it comes off as cartoonish to me

[MrsMatt]

11. My husband is a huge fan too

He jokes he may be the only man to have received the Gilmore Girls 1st season on DVD for father's day in 2004!

Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) played Sheila in the first cast of "A Chorus Line" on Broadway ("Dance 10, Looks 3). She's amazing, as is Edward Hermann.

[hickman1937]

13. I love the show and Kelly Bishop is the most amazing character

on that show. She can go from hard as nails to hurt and vunerable in a blink of an eye. She should have her own show.

[WCGreen]

16. I remember that. She also did some movies

Edward Hermann is one of my favorite actors.

In the Movie Bonfire of the Vanities, I thought he should have played the charactor that Tom Hanks played. It would have made the movie oh so much better.....

[flamingyouth]

14. I like that show a lot

I've never missed an episode. I love all of the bizarre pop-culture references. :)

[Zomby Woof]

17. Remember the flashback episode...

The one where Lorelei remembers her pregnancy with Rory? What is Lorelei watching while in bed, circa 1984?

QUINCY!!! :bounce:

[flamingyouth]

18. YES!!!

:woohoo:

[WCGreen]

19. Jeezz I watched that show twice now and I don't remember

the Quincy....

The girl they got to play Loreli couldn't have been more dead on.......

[AuntieM1957]

20. Gilmore Girls Rock

Funny, literate, well developed characters.

Non-violent, culturally diverse, eco-friendly, Okay - they're huge carnivores - but otherwise, they are the perfect progressive serial TV show.

You have excellent taste, sir.

[hickman1937]

21. Not really huge carnivores. They eat a lot of pancakes and fries.

They order burgers, but never eat them. Mostly drink a lot of coffee.

[AuntieM1957]

22. Tomato, tomato'

but to the cow, ordering involves the same process as eating.
Never seen a live burger..

Still love the Lorelais but find the meat references a little too much, and have you noticed that Lane's mom is a strict veg?

Blind allegiance just ain't my thing.

[hickman1937]

23. Ya, and also noticed how much Lane loves her mom,

despite their differances. That is what makes the show, imho.

[WCGreen]

24. Yea, it would have been so easy for lane

to jump into bed but, that voice in the back of her head stopped her from doing it....

And Rory gave her support....

i liked that too.....

[Zomby Woof]

26. flamingyouth and I are unreasonably huge Quincy fans

We notice those things due to our increased sensitivity to the Q. :-)
