that homeboys from outer space pic makes the production values look a lot better than they actually were!! i remember is the episode i saw was abt a porn mag and their spaceship was called 'hoopty'

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 04:08 (twenty years ago) link

they probably only had two episodes.

high-concept black humor is a rare taste.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 04:15 (twenty years ago) link

i think it had more than desmond pfifer actually!! it was pronounced 'puh-fifer'!!

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 04:17 (twenty years ago) link

class act should totally have become a sitcom.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 04:18 (twenty years ago) link

trife, desmond pfeffer gets shown on trio every so often as part of its 'brilliant but canceled' series.

anyway the wb's schedule is pretty white -- once dawson's creek took off, it decided to specialize in teenz-with-powaz-and-or-angst hours. the wb also has the honor of airing one of the top three whitest shows on tv, '7th heaven.'

this season's big new show is 'tarzan' (with a blonde looker in the title role). there's also a new show starring joey lawrence (my tagline's like wo) and i think they're the network with 'young macgyver' (starring dean from gilmore girls) in development.

anyway the point here is: research before you hatorize!!

― maura (maura), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 14:19 (twenty years ago) link

i won an award in high school for writing a story about watching 7th heaven. (it was a barthelme-style semi-surrealist interior narrative with a big carver influence).

but i never actually watched it myself until much later. has anybody seen the eve sitcom??

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 15:33 (twenty years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Are you enjoying the new season?

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 17:55 (twenty years ago) link

i'm just waiting for "les filles gilmore" signs to start showing up.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:00 (twenty years ago) link

what happened last week? I only started watching this with the season opener. did she make it to college?

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:02 (twenty years ago) link

Lorelai took her to college, left, and returned about 4 times with Luke's truck, what a comedy of errors. Paris is her roommate (this was the funniest bit -- Paris now has a lifecoach and is practicing letting go and has a craft table) and she has this really weird suitemate. It was a bit strange, mom was there the whole time, organized an informal pizza party for all the girls in the dorm, when is Rory going to take care of herself? I'd like to see Rory actually alone at Yale, is Mom going to hold her hand while she goes to classes too?

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I was kind of disappointed in that episode. It seemed more like a transitional episode if anything. Hopefully tonight will be good.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:10 (twenty years ago) link

I'm looking forward to it.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 18:18 (twenty years ago) link

she's at yale? oh dear...

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 20:39 (twenty years ago) link

I never get to see this anymore because my band practices on Tues. nights :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 20:43 (twenty years ago) link

I had a Yale gf for a time who actually resembled Rory in many respects.

deja vu!

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 20:56 (twenty years ago) link

what marx said about history, is true for tv.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 20:56 (twenty years ago) link

can you guys act out the new episodes with props and so on, and broadcast them on the net via webcam?

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:01 (twenty years ago) link

it will be something to do with your old clothes, mary.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:01 (twenty years ago) link

it's sad rory's at Yale. the beautiful was that they were both in a kind of other dimension, isolated, alone and everything. it's gonna be the real life now and i don't like that

― -Bruno, Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:29 (twenty years ago) link

yale is not real life, not really.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:31 (twenty years ago) link

but it's not life in the middle of nowhere. That's what i liked in the show (and that's why i can even watch something like "everwood" !)

― -Bruno, Tuesday, 7 October 2003 21:46 (twenty years ago) link

The Yale she's at is really weird though, there is no sense that she is at a campus at all. Besides her dorm suite and the other young people around. She hasn't even gone to a class yet, or really left the building as far as I can tell. And next week she's going to have a heart-to-heart with will he or won't he get married Dean, argh, so it isn't goodbye to Sleepy Hollow for Rory just yet. Plus -- next week she has a bob. It doesn't look so good. They're making her look younger, not older. But they played the Streets tonight.

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 01:33 (twenty years ago) link

According to theonering.net, they keep working Lord of the Rings fandom into this show, which is fine by me...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 02:48 (twenty years ago) link

And Rory is the only smart kid at Yale?

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 02:59 (twenty years ago) link

I'm sure Dan would agree there's only one smart kid at Yale at most.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 03:56 (twenty years ago) link

i wonder if they'll have her make the eminently creepy walk to campus from the new haven train station.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 16:13 (twenty years ago) link

Nah, she has that car she got as a graduation gift.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

Is she making good on her promise to come home for Friday night dinners?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, Rory went to the Friday night dinner all determined to face up to Richard and Emily (Lorelai, I noticed, was wearing some great boots). But Emily was being all drama-filled and got into a fight with Richard and so Rory just kept quiet.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 17:42 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, but she almost ranted at grandma for sending her suite furniture (!) but she chickened out.

(X-post)

I still haven't done that Yale walk:(

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

are you in new haven mary?

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

I wish:)

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 17:50 (twenty years ago) link

eleven months pass...

I just found this yr-old thread. I though Amateurist was *dissing* Gilmore Girls. Little did I know he started the definitive thread.

"Say goodbye to Daisy Miller" = classic.

― Ain't That Peculiar (kenan), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I think I may actually be in love with this woman.

― Ain't That Peculiar (kenan), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Ooh, ooh, I want this thread to be useful again!

Although is it still on Tuesdays? Because Canasta just shifted practice from Tuesdays to Mondays, and if so, it means I'll be able to see it for the first time in over a year!

Seriously: what's going on in the show? Rory's a sophomore now, right? I missed all of last season, and I should probably just go over to Television Without Pity and read summaries, huh?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, you'll have a lot of catching up to do, Jay. The premiere was just this past Tuesday...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Last season was great. Lorelei and Luke are now an item. Rory slept with the married Dean. Oh, it was action-packed.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:15 (nineteen years ago) link

I missed the premiere. had to watch Big Brother. :(

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:16 (nineteen years ago) link

i didnt have a televiosn for a couple years, but now i am hooked on this show, but i just started watching it.

(i havne read the thread) Rory slept with the married guy and got busted by her mom pretty much and so she is off to Europe with her grandma. the grandparents made the police blotter for domestic dispute, lorelai and luke kissed

this show was a secret gult if mine but now ILx has never felt better

― kephm, Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I looked at the first season dvd set at the record store longingly the other day. but i can't justify the 50 bucks.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Lorelei and Luke are now an item.

Uh-oh, that sounds like classic jump-the-shark material.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Doesn't seem like it, so far. But it's still one of those uncertain-beginnings kind of things.

Are they going to skip summer now, or show Rory miserably travelling Europe? Usually when a show starts a new season, or with GG anyway, they've had a bit that happened over the summer, but mostly just some context so they can start the story with fall. But there's too much going on to skip this time, what with Luke/Lorelai.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:22 (nineteen years ago) link

rory will probally come home sooner than later

what season is this anyways?

― kephm, Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Fifth, I believe.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Luke is hunky and all, but I do doubt his ability to keep in the banter department. Possibly rocky romance ahead.

I'm so rooting for Dean. That awful spoiled brat of a wife will be the death of him. He's *got* to leave her this season.

― Ain't That Peculiar (kenan), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:39 (nineteen years ago) link

is she still at yale? how is the show portraying yale? i haven't seen this show in two or three years. i haven't actually watched american television for two years.

― amateur!!st, Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:11 (nineteen years ago) link

this is the show that had me watching television after two years! (actually the truth is the elections )

― kephm, Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Being able to watch the whole first season in 5-6 episode binges was fucking awesome. I recommend the DVDs to all.

The premiere dragged a little bit though the Daisy Miller bit was pretty great.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:20 (nineteen years ago) link

i think i'd feel too pervy watching this by myself.

― amateur!!st, Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:27 (nineteen years ago) link

The freshman 10 that paris gained last year made her look really hot to me for the first time. That spring break episode from last year was such a hoot. Rory & Paris holed up in a Florida party motel watching Joseph Campbell! It would have been great if they had never left the room, but watching them get drunk and kissing was great too.

I'm kinda glad that the whole Jason/Richard business thing is over with, but I do kinda wonder if Lorelei's parents splitting up ISN'T some sort of jump the shark moment. It seems kinda forced. I don't believe that those two would act this way.
