That's exactly the feeling I had yesterday. <br /><br />We love <i>Gilmore Girls</i>, but, fair warning, it did go off course a few times, and definitely <i>jumped the shark</i> in the last two seasons. The initial conflict was between a woman, who has become sucessful on her own after leaving her wealthy parents' home with her baby at 16, and later must ask those estranged parents for money for her smart daughter's private school and the strings they attach to their agreeement. That conflict is handled quite well and the parents' stodginess makes a great foil for Lorelai's one-liners. Later in the series, however, the conflict stems mostly from main characters covering things up or evading important issues. It gets ugly. (And I can skip over the whole "Jason Stiles" affair in season 4, although his dog, Cyrus, is a funny bit). <br /><br />Mostly, it's just a smart, insightful show with characters you want to, and imagine you do, know. <br /><br />Now, <i>Veronic Mars</i>, huh? I've heard some good things about that too. Maybe we'll look into it.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178771612031280593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685065582281848343.post-27848284308756904292010-08-05T21:45:42.609-04:002010-08-05T21:45:42.609-04:00I'll have to try the Gilmore Girls, if you guy...I'll have to try the Gilmore Girls, if you guys like it this much. <br /><br />I also have feel really sad and have trouble saying goodbye at the end of TV shows and books that I love (Veronica Mars and the Little House books come to mind.)<br /><br />When I was a little girl, I finished all the Little House Books for the first time and asked my mom when the next one would be coming out. She told me that Laura Ingalls Wilder had died long ago and that there wouldn't be any more. I remember sobbing into my pillow for a long time and mourning that this would be all of the relationship I could have with Laura and Almanzo and Mary and Ma and Pa. When Veronica Mars is over, I always feel such a loss that I can't have any more of her and her father in my life.Kelly Elmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102128866306605457noreply@blogger.com
