Gilmore Girls

You'll find every episode of "Gilmore Girls" listed under this tag or on the dedicated "GG" page. It almost killed me, but I recapped all seven seasons along with "A Year in the Life."

'Gilmore Girls' Season 2, Episode 5: Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Michael Katleman, written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. Michael Katleman directed a bunch of previous "GG" episodes: * "Cinnamon's Wake" - A cat's funeral takes precedence over Lorelai's date with Max Medina (as it should be, tbh)

'Gilmore Girls' Season 2, Episode 4: The Road Trip to Harvard

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Jamie Babbit, written by Daniel Palladino. Jamie Babbit's body of work is pretty impressive: she's directed 5 feature films and episodes of many shows that I love, like "Popular," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "Silicon Valley."

'Gilmore Girls' Season 2, Episode 1: Sadie, Sadie

Directing and writing credits: Written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino. From Seasons 2-6, ASP writes and directs every premiere episode. This one isn't my favorite (that award goes to Season 4's "Ballrooms and Biscotti"), but it sets a good tone for the rest of

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 21: Love, Daisies and Troubadours

Directing and writing credits: Written by Daniel Palladino, directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino. Before I started really diving into the credits of each episode, I didn't realize how uncommon it is for Amy and Dan to work together as writer and director. The only other episode directed by Amy

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 20: P.S. I Lo...

Directing and writing credits: Written by Elaine Arata and Joan Binder Weiss, directed by Lev L. Spiro. You should remember them from previous episodes: * Elaine Arata wrote "Concert Interruptus" - the one where Paris and Rory kind of maybe become friends. * Joan Binder Weiss wrote the following previously

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 19: Emily in Wonderland

Directing and writing credits: Written by John Stephens and Linda Loiselle Guzik, directed by Perry Lang. This is the first episode co-written by a team that isn't Amy and Dan and I have to say, the dialogue is pretty snappy and on point, but the story drags a

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 18: The Third Lorelai

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Michael Katleman. There are no inappropriate gay jokes in this one, but it's clearly an ASP episode. No one packs in the pop culture references quite like her. Michael Katleman you should remember from these previous episodes: "

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 17: The Breakup: Part 2

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Nick Marck. This is a quintessential ASP episode: tons of pop culture references, junk food, good music, an inappropriate gay joke, and a smidge of townie action. It's a somewhat frustrating episode, but one of my favorites from

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 16: Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers

Directing and writing credits: The writing credits on this episode are a bit atypical for the series. John Stephens and Linda Loiselle Guzik are credited with the teleplay and Joan Binder Weiss with the story. Based on what I know, this would mean that Joan Binder Weiss came up with

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 15: Christopher Returns

Directing and writing credits: Written by Daniel Palladino, directed by Michael Katleman. Dan Palladino loves the Stars Hollow townies, so it's no surprise he managed to work them into a Gilmore family heavy episode. I love all of the gossip surrounding Christopher and discussion over whether he looks
