There now! I bet that piqued your interest, and if you've already watched the shows, you know I pretty much covered everything.
My review:
Bad--Tries to get in everyone ever on the show but doesn't have nearly enough Sookie. We barely see Christopher, and he's one hot dude.
Good--Pretty much everything else.
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life earns The Janie Junebug Highest and Most Biggest Amazingest Seal of Happy Approval, especially because I am the real Lorelai Gilmore so I make a lot of money from my show. And now that I know the Famous Final Four Words, I know we must have more episodes, or at least one movie.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
This sequence is from the final episode. It's the only part of this post that might be considered a spoiler. If you don't want to see Rory with her "friends" from Yale--Robert, Colin, Finn, and Logan--then don't watch.
Now that I've worn out, I've worn out the world . . .
Instead of Black Friday shopping, I went to my friend John's house and we binge-watched the four GG episodes. Overall, I was impressed, but those final four words leave things up in the air. I felt a bit cheated.
ReplyDeleteI felt cheated and then got over it when I realized it means we must have more episodes.
DeleteThanks for the review! I've only watched the first two, so far. Nice to know Sookie made an appearance, but too bad it was only a small one. Although I didn't watch your video, I did read a spoiler about the famous last 4 words and all I can say is "Aiaiai"! Leaves it wide open for more. ☺
ReplyDeleteWe will have more. We must have more. There is no choice.
DeleteI was such a fan of the original series that I have every intention of watching the Netflix shows. (as you are the real Lorelai..kudos to you) I, however, haven't gotten around to it yet as I seem to be in some type of immersion therapy using Hallmark movies to bolster my holiday spirit.
ReplyDeleteI think this weekend will provide me with the opportunity to prefect my skills at being a couch potato.
Thank you for appreciating my Lorelainess instead of expressing the jealousy I know you feel. Many years, I have hung up the IV bag of Hallmark movies and hooked myself up until I felt ready for Christmas.
DeleteI have never seen The Gilmore Girls so I read this twice and still am clueless.
ReplyDeleteOn Black Friday I had a birthday party for my visiting granddaughter. Best value ever!
A birthday party for a granddaughter is the best thing ever. My review isn't really meant to be understood because I don't want to give away anything important.
DeleteFor a LONG time now I've been saying I need to watch GILMORE GIRLS. I love Lauren ------(can't think of her last name), the one who plays Loralei. I have a friend who looks and acts just like her character in PARENTHOOD. I loved that series and watched every episode. I also love the movie from the 90s that inspired it. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLauren Graham. Lorelai Gilmore is very different from Sarah on Parenthood. If you watch Gilmore Girls, start at the beginning and watch every episode. Don't start with the four new episodes because they won't make sense to you.
DeleteI have already written on the Gilmore Girls and the fact I am the only woman in the US who does not care.
ReplyDeleteI liked it in the beginning mostly because of Snooki, Luke and all the weird and wonderful people. The middle was bad boy, sweet boy blah blah blah adult acting like a 3 year old. Oh hell no.
Lorela is a spoiled girl child who is/was raising a child who was more adult than she was. She sashayed her way through life drinking coffee and sprouting puzzling wisdom her way with a bumbling bumble. The longer I watched it the more I just couldn't take it. I have know too many women like this.
Everyone seems to love this series but me, just like the Titanic.
Very happy you liked it.
cheers, parsnip
You're not the only woman in the U.S. who doesn't care about Gilmore Girls. I have a friend who says she can't stand it because they talk too fast and it gives her a headache.
DeleteThere better be more!
ReplyDeleteDean!!! Sookie!!!
Left us hanging.
There better be another season. :)
WE WANT MORE! Too many questions remain to be answered.
DeleteI don't know many guys who watched this program, and I'm no exception.
ReplyDeleteThe Silver Fox (see above) binge watched it on Black Friday. Willy Dunne Wooters loves Gilmore Girls. I know plenty of men who like it.
DeleteMuch better than shopping!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
DeleteYour last sentence sums up much the way I've been feeling of late.

Tossing It Out
It's part of the lyrics of a song at the end of the fourth Gilmore Girls episode.
DeleteI've never seen the Gilmore Girls, so I don't quite understand your review. But it seems you enjoyed the show, and for that, I'm glad.
ReplyDeleteIt made my Thanksgiving weekend--other than dining with Willy Dunne Wooters.
DeleteI watched the Gilmore Girls but not all the episodes
ReplyDeleteThe final season was a disappointment. The creator of the show left because of exhaustion and not enough cooperation from the network. She's back for the four new episodes.
