I believe the correct pronunciation is BLUH del or was it the other way around? It was maybe just her father who was Mexican and she grew up speaking Spanish as her first language in Texas. Someone I know attributes her strange speaking patterns today to this. She want to NYU for a year and segued from modeling to acting. She looks quite modelicious in her shoots for teen mags -- though no electro styling yet. She looked great the first season, but coming back to the second seemed a bit on the emaciated side:( Luke has the opposite problem; he looks practically lithe in the first season compared to his current bulkiness.

Welcome Maria D;) -- Scott, loved your article on Baltimore house. Is it a real phenom or are you just having a go?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 9 May 2003 02:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's a phenom to ME, which is why I've written two rather hyperactive pieces about it, but it's such a local and specific scene that really has no interest in any kind of exposure beyond D.C./Baltimore that the only way I could see it getting broader attention would be if other people ripped off the sounds and ideas for their own music and I'm sure some people have. Also, a lot of it is based on highly illegal samples of rap/R&B which is why you won't find any of the labels having any web-presence at all. Thus, the records are hard to get/find outside of Philly/D.C./Baltimore. It could be safely compared to the Detroit ghetto-tech stuff that people might be more familiar with. Loud, hypnotic, raunchy. The kind of homegrown stuff that grows and mutates on its own with little regard for the outside world. My friend Cosmo is a dj in Philly and he has played Baltimore trax all over the states:L.A.,Las Vegas,New York,etc,and he says people just flip out when he puts it on and they don't even know what it is. That says something. Glad you liked it. Thanks!

I should also mention briefly that I wrote a review of the new Aislers Set album that will be published eventually and in it I give a shout out to Rory, Dean, Jess, AND Yale!

― scott seward, Friday, 9 May 2003 03:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK so did everyone enjoy the season finale? I haven't watched for a while and I was pleasantly surprised. I liked that it was pretty low key and not godawful cliche cliffhanger like the past two seasons. Who is Dean going to marry? What's going on there?

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 06:01 (twenty years ago) link

I wish this thread had a spoiler warning :( We're like, muchly behind you guys in Australia. This week's ep was the one where Lane dyed her hair purple. How far behind does that make us? I'm curious.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 06:10 (twenty years ago) link

Looked that up on twop and you're 17 eps behind the US, Trayce.

I liked the finale. It had me smiling a lot.

four months pass...

Will Rory like Yale? Tune in this Tues.... and welcome to the new season of the only show left watching on the WB...

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 01:17 (twenty years ago) link

"Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) return from their summer backpacking adventure in Europe to get Rory ready for Yale and catch up with the world of Stars Hollow. Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) is well along in her pregnancy and confides the sex of the baby to Lorelai, while Luke (Scott Patterson) has returned from the cruise with his girlfriend with surprising news. Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop) are eager to resume the family's Friday night dinners, but when Lorelai fails to show, the sparks are soon flying again.

Keiko Agena and Sean Gunn also star. Amy Sherman-Palladino wrote and directed the episode. "

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 01:22 (twenty years ago) link

Looks like a sleeper. Oh well...

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 02:21 (twenty years ago) link

the only show left watching on the WB... ilx in thinking indie kids are superior to black ppl shocker!!

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 02:32 (twenty years ago) link

I think you're thinking of UPN, trife. WB's the network that gave Reba her own show.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 02:37 (twenty years ago) link

If you don't watch Steve Harvey you might as well be burning crosses.

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 02:41 (twenty years ago) link

dont forget the parent 'hood!!

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 02:42 (twenty years ago) link

I thought that was one of the ones that went to UPN? (Either way: WB's shows are pretty white, as a whole. There's always Pete Ross on Smallville, or Black Friend on Sitcom & Pals.)

this is seriously my favorite show ever

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 03:58 (twenty years ago) link

btw sterling you mean HOMEBOYS FROM OUTER SPACE
http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue30/tvhome.gif
i only ever saw one episode : (

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

if you have desmond pheiffer on tape the ego trip cabal is looking.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 04:05 (twenty years ago) link

i havent seen it since it got cancelled : (

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 04:07 (twenty years ago) link

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!

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:(
