Do you recommend Gilmore Girls?

I'm divorcing and have two daughters and could not get into it.

Stars Hallow is my happy place. Years ago I was in a deep depression and binge watched it. Found it very therapeutic for some reason.

My DH surprised me a few years ago with tickets to Warner Studios (while in LA). It was a tour that literally took you through Stars Hallow. It was so fun to see the set (the "main" square and Luke's is all there part of the main Warners lot used for many movies/TV shows. Crazy to see Lorelie'a house. Neat. Recommend the tour for fans.

Such poor acting... I can't endorse it at all. Lauren Graham tries to act like she's the best actress in the universe, and it's SO not true/ very apparent.

Go to commercials, LG.

Just finishing Season 6 (not looking forward to the not great Season 7), but totally what I needed during maternity leave! Rewatching it has made me love and appreciate it even more.

Can't wait for GG:Seasons!!!!!!!

Lorelei Gilmore needs a punch in the face. Manic Pixie Dream Girls should not be moms.

I don't think that word means what you think it means. She is NOT a MPDG. MPDGs are usually not allowed to have their own emotions and interior lives and serve only to boost the male lead's stuffy solitude. I like Lorelei, but she is sometimes very selfish, very human, and very mean. In other words, a human. Not the way overused MPDG meme.

The more I watch this show, the more true this is. I like Lorelai, but sometimes, she is the most annoying person ever. Very selfish and childish. Not always, but a lot. I'm glad she's portrayed that way instead of always perfect, all the time. In fact, she's rarely perfect.

Even in the dynamic she has with her own mother, sometimes I want to slap Lorelai. Her mom isn't always that bad, but Lorelai continues their strained relationship when she could tone it down a bit and meet her mother halfway.

Just a side note - does anyone find the Dragonfly Inn to be horribly decorated? I mean, it's one pattern after another and makes me shudder. I do like the green Chippendale chairs in the dining room though..

Oh, and if you really get into GG - there's a podcast you might like called Gilmore Guys. They are nearly done with season 7 and I am going to be so sad when that happens.

But if you've ever had a Mom like that, you know that's exactly how you react to the smallest things. My mom and I love each other, but man, can she push my buttons. When DH and I first started dating he wondered why I flew off the handle over the smallest things my Mom would do or say. Taken in isolation, yes I was nuts. But the constant 'small' things add up. In time, DH has realized why I flip out so 'easily' on her. It's like death by a million little drips of water.

I used to love GG but upon re watching it I realized how self centered and awful they both were.

No, I found it pretty awful. I also hate Lifetime movies too.
