"Gilmore" Gone

May 3, 2007

The CW confirms that the May 15 episode of "Gilmore Girls" will be the last. While I recognize the flaws in the show the last couple of years, I am still bummed. More later.
OK, here's a little more. I've been thinking that, now that it's done, the Emmys can finally show some love for this [...]

Watching: "Veronica Mars," "Gilmore Girls," "House," "Friday Night Lights"

February 1, 2007

Thanks to the completion of a couple of projects and weather that makes me want to stay indoors, I've been keeping better pace with my TV faves of late. …

"Gilmore Girls": A Slow Fade

October 3, 2006

All right, I liked Kirk turning himself into Luke, right down to the backward cap and the "No Cell Phones" sign. But that was about it as "Gilmore Girls," in only its second episode of the season, felt run down.
My distaste for Alexis Bledel's acting is thoroughly documented, so I'm going to have a problem [...]

"Gilmore Girls": Two Little Words

July 18, 2006

I've been gathering string about "Gilmore Girls" for a piece about the show later this week. Went to the press conference, risked a body-cavity search (see "Scrumming Lauren,"  below) and at The CW's party last night I talked to Liza Weil, Keiko Agena and Sean Gunn. Most of that talk involved last season and the [...]

"Sopranos" and Other Tidbits (With Some More "Veronica")

April 24, 2006

I laughed — very hard — at "The Sopranos" on Sunday night. Wasn't alone, either, since this was a night in our regular "Sopranos" gatherings with co-workers, so the laughter was not mine alone. The Ben Kingsley stuff was funny enough. Mugging Lauren Bacall — one of those things where you think, oh, no, they [...]

After the Bunny Hopped…

April 17, 2006

I did not expect to go this long between posts, but the days filled themselves up — chasing down a cat to take to the vet, putting a fence back up around a flower bed, Easter morning at church, grocery shopping, giving the grill its spring inaugural. Today at work I was hip-deep in a [...]

A Little Bit of Drama

April 11, 2006

In spite of the ambition in yesterday's post, the day got away from me. I had a story about SportsTime Ohio that ended up consuming part of the day and evening; it was after 8 p.m. before I had the information I needed to write. And while I was working on that, I was trying [...]

"Gilmore Girls"

February 14, 2006

I had hopes for tonight's "Gilmore Girls," hopes that the show would take advantage of its Valentine's Day tie-in to have Luke get back on track toward marrying Lorelai. And there were promises made, and ideas bounced around. But at the end of the episode, there we were again, with Luke and Lorelai not quite [...]

"Gilmore Girls"

February 1, 2006

Between typing I am still wiping away the tears of laughter and delight from watching last night's "Gilmore Girls." Specifically, the finale sequence of dinner at the Gilmores, a virtuoso piece of television if there ever was one. Character, humor, anger, pace — and completely involving, even when watched on Wednesday morning as a warm-up [...]

Oh, Yeah, Now I Feel MUCH Better…

January 18, 2006

So I gave myself a nice wallow in two weeks of "Gilmore Girls" and, as is so often the case, I found myself laughing and trying to keep up with the cultural references. (Russ Tamblyn and Peter Brook on the Yale Daily News staff? Did someone have to explain the Frances Farmer line to Alexis [...]

Wild Wild Life

November 21, 2005

This was Saturday night at the House of Heldenfels: While my wife ironed, I worked on a newsletter for the arts-booster group at our son's high school. When the ironing was done, we worked together on the newsletter.
This was Sunday night: Having made 500 copies of the newsletter that afternoon, we folded them and stuffed [...]
