Reasons Why I love the Gilmore Girls





I've always been the "skip-the-movie-read-the-book" kindof gal. I'm not big on the whole film thing. (Hold your horses and please put down that gun. I like movies, just not mainstream. I prefer older films and films with cheesy and cute plots such as every Disney movie that has ever existed. Don't judge me.) But when it comes to up-and-coming movies such as "The Hunger Games" (which by the way, I don't feel a flicker of excitement for although I'll probably end up going to the midnight premiere, simply because the books were amazing), I'm almost certain they'll screw up the movie and not do the book justice. But I digress.
The main reasons why I like the Gilmore Girls have NOTHING to do with the fact that it's a TV show. I hate TV shows. They are cheesy, over-commercialized and give their actors/actresses disgusting salaries.
Rather, I love the QUOTES from this show. It has the most AMAZING team of screenwriters who deserve major props for their work. Because the show is nothing short of brilliant. :)
A teacher of mine once remarked that today's literature can be found in our TV show scripts and song lyrics. (He was, in fact, nothing short of correct.)
So, reason # uno of why I like the Gilmore Girls?
1) Amazing tidbits of wisdom, such as those listed at the beginning of the post. Here are some more:






Okay, enough amazing bits of wisdom from Lorelai and Rory. :)
Now for reason number TWO why I love the Gilmore Girls

2) Rory has the exact same uniform as me.

Well, nearly the exact same. Whatever. I've got to go finish working on requesting all the books from the first couple of episodes. (A phrase which here means "sitting in a puddle of my own drool while I lethargically pluck at the keyboard in complete dread of reading Moby Dick.)

  1. Shame on you Mary! Only two reasons! I should kick you off the site! Throw a noose around your head! Dress you in a clown suit and tie you to a rampaging pony in the middle of New York City!

  2. I know. I'm terribly ashamed. I promise I'll come up with more. Be prepared for "Reasons Why Mary loves the Gilmore Girls Part II - Avoiding death by clown suit and Sookie's cooking!"

  4. Hmmmm, IDK. Could it be my invisible friend Steve? (Hey Steve! We should grab coffee sometime. Why did you skip my party last week? Are you still mad? Can I make you cupcakes? You borrowed my hat and I need it back now. KTHXBAI, Mary.)
