It's streaming on Netflix now. I'm about 7 episodes in, and it is fantastic.
As a fan of "Parenthood", I must say Gilmore so far really makes me disappointed in Parenthood. I love the show, but they completely #### the bed with Lauren Graham's character. Having really only seen that and Bad Santa, I really had no idea Graham would be this good. The dig at the Jolie/BBT relationship was funny in retrospect.
I've completely cashed in my man card and am currently catching up on the WB/CW/UPN chick shows that I never watched the first time around. So far, Buffy and Veronica are solid, but Gilmore Girls might be my favorite of the bunch.
If you end up liking Buffy, you might want to try its spinoff, Angel. One of my top 10-15 favorite shows ever.
It's taking me a long time to come around on this Angel fella. Still not quite there. It really sucks as it's hard not to just see him as "that dude from Bones that appears to be the spiritual predecessor to Twilight brooding vampires".
And Xander. Ugh, that guy. First of all, his name is ####### Xander. They give him these awful cheesy lines that are a little hard to handle. I have to remind myself that that this was a different time. A time where Matthew Perry was starring in TV's most popular comedy doing the same schtick. And he was only the
2nd most annoying dude on his show.
Xander is getting better about halfway through the 2nd season.
Watching Buffy this long after it originally aired is tough in general. It's only 3 years older than Gilmore Girls, but that 3 years seems like 15 years. Gilmore and Veronica both seem like shows that could slide seamlessly into the TV schedule right now. Buffy seems really, really old, though I'm on the 2nd season and it's feeling less so.
I do like Buffy though. Quite a bit.
