A friend told me she has started watching the Gilmore Girls on reruns and loves the show.
Alma and I were great fans a few years ago. The first two or three seasons were wonderful -- then they apparently changed writers. They lost the wit which had captivated us. The only thing they kept was the rapid fire delivery.
The original was rife with hilarious iconic throwaway scenes, often in the background, e.g.: Miss Patty leading a bunch of walkers -- from her golf cart, another time mourning the loss of sexiness of a hunk when he was out of his 'uniform'(waiter's); “It was Biloxi all over again."
And in probably the last funny episode -- a congressman (real one) coming out of a men's room, seeing Paris, and turning right around and going back in.
Which makes me think of a lifetime of television. Which shows would I rank at the top of the heap?
The first three are easy:
1) Babylon 5
2) Everwood
3) Judging Amy
All quality shows for the whole series.

We are off to WorldCon and I probably won't be posting for a few days.
