Its really odd cos even though I find the gilmore girls extremely irritating I cant help but watch it.
It annoys me the way the mother and daughter havent had one normal conversation with each other and they always just speak in a dead pan witty retocric to each other-ahhh frustrating!!:)

Excellent! Nice to see i'm not the only one hooked. The rapid-fire exchange between characters is brilliant. Season 6 is still showing in the US but it will be on DVD eventually.Hoping rte will show it over the summer and not have to wait until this time next year for it, otherwise will see it on dvd. Seasons 1 and 2 are available on dvd region 2 now.

My wife loves this show, so I am forced to watch it. I do have a hardcore crush on the mother, though, so I deal with it.

This summer, she wants me to take her on a road trip to the town that Stars Hollow is based on (though the show is not filmed there).

A road trip? What a cool idea. :cool:

As infuriating as that is, at least it's not the complicated manical ramblings they came out with on Dawson's Creek - sometimes I actually thought I wasn't fluent in english watching that programme.

Bump for this thread as i only started watching the show recently.. and it's actually pretty damn brillant!

I'm only half way through season 2 but some absolutely phenomenal writing in it.. for those who have never seen it and dismiss it as another teenybopper show.. a lá '7th Heaven' or 'One Tree Hill'.. give it a chance.

Without a doubt, some of the freshest funniest writing i've witnessed in a long time. And it's watching episodes from 6 years ago! :eek:

Lauren Graham is absolutely fantastic in it.. a true comedic talent in both her style and in effortlessly delivering sharp and funny lines. Her and Kelly Bishop (who plays her reserved snobbish mother, Emily) steal the show!

The show is really worth your time!

PS - also spotted Peter Petrelli from 'Heroes' as Luke's nephew, Jess.

At the time of writing, there is a thread titled Charmed: Most underrated program on TV - IMO completely wrong. Charmed is rubbish and disgusted that How Soon Is Now is degraded in that way.) but it got me thinking and this is the most underrated program on television. Just very very good television. Not quite up there with the very best (sopranos, west wing, IMO) but just a notch below. Well written, well acted to a point (Rory drunk is a crime against all drama) but a great set of likeable characters.

Back on Hallmark at 8.00am - series 1 again.

Also, there are connections between Family Guy and Gilmore Girls. I think one of the executive producers/directors/writers of the Gilmore Girls Daniel Palladino was a writer on Family Guy. Dont know if the writers left were having a joke at his expense in the clip above. I know that both Seth MacFarlane (Briefly) and Alex Borstein (for slightly longer) have appeared in the program.
