Oooh, Slings and Arrows! I'm about to watch it myself, so I'll report to you on it. It's supposed to be fantastic.
Oh, do tell, yes. I've heard nothing but good about it. And apparently it's even made die-hard slash fans like a het 'ship, so it must really be something special. ;)
I'm something of an anomaly because I've never been able to get into GG--I also have the prejudice against high-school/teenaged-character shows, but what bugged me about GG was that it seemed too self-consciously (and maybe unjustifiably) clever and cute.
I watched half an episode today before I had to get ready for choir, and I had the same thought. The witty banter between Lorelai and Rory seemed very obviously scripted; no one comes up with rejoinders and sarcasm that quickly. But maybe I just caught an off episode? I loved that same kind of stuff when Maddie and David did it on Moonlighting, so I hold out hope.
Have you seen Dead Like Me?
I saw the first two episodes a couple years ago, not long after Wonderfalls was canceled. I wanted to see it after I'd heard that Bryan Fuller basically created two series with the same-ish premise, figuring one of them had no chance anyway. *g* It didn't really grab me at the time, but I always meant to try a couple more eps. Is there a particular season that's better than the others, or should I just go back to episode three?
