The Gilmore Girls

I often watch all those programs on E4 - The O.C, GIlmore Girls and One Tree Hill.

Ashamed to say I like them all. Normally back to back :o

They did bring it back, it's on US tv at the moment. But it's just called 90210 now. It's about new teenagers but Kelly and Brenda are in it apparently.

Gilmore Girls is like a car crash, horrific but you can't look away. It wouldn't be so bad if the sound track didn't keep going "lalala, lalala, la la la la la, lalala."

And I can't look at the mother without hearing "I'm fucking Santa, I'm fucking Santa!"
 
I only watch Gilmore Girls, the others I can't stand.

I found out recently that the writer of Gilmore Girls is a good family friend of a mate of mine. My friend's last name is Chilton and apparently the school that Rory goes to was named after her family.
 
It's alright! I mainly watched because I heard Peter Petrelli was on it!!! (and he was! Jolly yummy.)

Weirdly, Hiro was in the episode prior to the first one that Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventithingy) appeared in.

And Seth from the OC was in it for a while as well.
 
was pleased watching that yesterday.

daytime uk tv is american.

the mom is starting to annoy me though.
all casts speak abnormally fast with nonsense like headless chicken running around.

I love Seth. I flipping loved The OC.

I hate One Tree Hill.

I've tried really hard, and i mean really hard to like Grey's Anatomy but i can't.

Even though i do love that blondie girl from Knocked Up and 27 Dresses.:cool:

I cant abide the self absorption in Grey's. The hospital is genuinely only a backdrop for their dreadful soapy lives.
However, like you I adore Katherine Heigel. Stunning, totally normal, fierce and loyal. I fell in love with her after she went into battle for 'George' after he was called a 'f*ggot' on set.

Small confession though: Ive never made it through an episode of Gilmore Girls. :hmm: Along with some of the girly TV mentioned here, GG falls way short for me, even for trash TV.
When they do their quippy, fast talk, I can see the writers and that annoys me. The 'device' is just too apparent in the show- I cant suspend my disbelief and flip right past.

I dont have the words for One Tree Hill and Hollyoakes.

That said - has anyone here seen 'Greek?' The everyday tale of very pretty people at university- set in fraternities and sororities.
While it doesnt quite reflect my own sordid uni experience, its clever, funny and it limits the cheese and snappy dialogue. There are cliches and stereotypes, but there are also surprises as you realise characters have shades of grey. Plus the people are so pleasingly pretty, the show just about gets away with the more vapid plots.

Someone please watch it so we can bond over Dale the Southern Baptist Christian who is just aces!

 
Was that the one with aliens.?

It is indeed. E4 is showing it at lunchtime on Sundays. It's great!

I love all these US shows: OTH (so awful it's wonderful); The OC; GG; Smallville; GG (the other GG).

I want E4 to start showing Veronica Mars and Freaks and Geeks.

No. Does it sound like my thing?

Yeah, Katherine Heigel is in it. It's alright, she's the best thing in it. She's very beautiful, she's one of the woman I'd approve of my husband fancying.:D And she was in My Father, the Hero she's the stroppy teenager who pretends her dad Gérard Depardieu is really her lover.

Freaks and Geeks and the 1st series of Veronica Mars kick the ass of all those other shows. Especially Freaks and Geeks, which is just a perfect show. I'm still so sad that it got canned.:(

Oh I love that film! I love her too, I think she's so lovely looking and has loads of charisma.
 
I love the Gilmore Girls, but pre season 5 - it just changed after that and wasn't the same :( It was witty (well, I think so anyway) and funny and I loved the dynamic between Rory and Lorelai; kinda reminded me of the relationship between my mom and I.

Luke rocks too :D leave his backwards cap alone :P
Shut your mouth! He wouldn't be Luke without the cap!

Totally agree.
 
****SPOILERS****
























OMG! Peter Petrelli was in today's episode. I only caught the last 20 minutes. He gave Rory the talking to she's deserved. That Logan is a fucking prick.
 
I'm watching it on +1.

I did a pathetic thing the other day- I read the episode guide for the whole of the series. :o

I like Logan. He can be a prick but he loves Rory.

Oh no.:( I'm so tempted but I have to stop myself.

I want Rory and Lorelai to make up now, it's gone on for ages. And Lorelai was sad today.

I love Lane.
