I was on Spring Break this week, which means I flew to Cancun and got drunk and ended up on Girls Gone Wild. . . except, no. Actually, I continued to work full-time, so it really wasn't that much of a break at all, except I ended up getting home early and instead of using this time productively, I decided to wrap myself up in a new-to-me TV show: The Gilmore Girls, reruns of which are shown weekdays at 5 on The Family Channel.

I had seen this show before and found it kind annoying yet enjoyable. The enjoyable part is mostly drooling over Lauren Graham's gazillion dollar wardrobe. The characters themselves are super annoying: Lorelai is irritating and self-involved and Rory is meek and in desparate need of a backbone. And also, who talks like this, with the crazy fast pace and all the pop culture references? As someone who grew up in a very different version of small town Connecticut, I cringe at all the shticky neighborly characters and messed up geopgraphical references. Why did Norman Mailer go on this show? Hell, why did Sebastien Bach go on this show? And the million dollar question: why did I watch this show almost every day last week? I don't know. I do know, however, that the reruns are being shown out of order, which just increases my curiosity. It's back to school for me this week, so I won't be tuning in to my new friends in Stars Hollow. And I know this show is actually still on the air, but I have a feeling it's gotten less enjoyable and more annoying and I don't need another show in my prime-time lineup. So adios Gilmore Girls . . . till we meet again.
