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 1, Episode 14: That Damn Donna Reed

Directing and writing credits: ASP and Daniel Palladino wrote this episode. While I loathe most of the plot, I enjoy the writing and their use of the Stars Hollowites. Hollowians? This episode was directed by Michael Katleman. He directed seven episodes of "GG" and some of my favorite

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 13: Concert Interruptus

Directing and writing credits: Written by Elaine Arata, directed by Bruce Seth Green. Both are new to me and have pretty underwhelming IMDB pages. Elaine Arata also wrote episode 1.20 of "GG," "P.S. I Lo...," along with a few episodes of "7th Heaven&

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 12: Double Date

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Lev L. Spiro. In an attempt to find an old interview with ASP, I stumbled across this behind the scenes documentary from Season 1 (it was a special feature on the DVDs). Check it out if you have 20 minutes

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 11: Paris is Burning

Directing and writing credits: Written by Joan Binder Weiss, directed by David Petrarca. Binder Weiss also wrote "Love and War and Snow," which I watched last week. I wish I could find a solid interview with her somewhere or more information, but I poked around and came up

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 10: Forgiveness and Stuff

Directing and writing credits: Written by John Stephens, directed by Bethany Rooney. Stephens seems to specialize in teen shows that I weirdly love and have re-watched multiple times even though I'm an adult with self-proclaimed good taste. Please don't judge me. He's written 7

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 9: Rory's Dance

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. I'm pretty sure I could identify every episode written by the Palladinos without the help of IMDB. They each have such distinctive writing styles and the joke and insult density is unparalleled by any of

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 7: Kiss and Tell

Directing and writing credits: This episode was written by the one and only Jenji Kohan. You may have heard of a few little shows she’s created since then, “Weeds” and “Orange is the New Black.” She worked on "GG" for one season, but this is her only

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 6: Rory's Birthday Parties

Directing and writing credits: Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Sarah Pia Anderson. This is a very solid ASP episode - probably in my top five. My friend Ali and I have a master list of all-time favorite "GG" episodes and "Rory's Birthday Parties"

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 5: Cinnamon's Wake

Directing and writing credits: Written by Daniel Palladino, directed by Michael Katleman. As a director, I hate him, but as a writer, Daniel Palladino is pretty solid. He's actually penned some of my all-time favorite episodes: * "The Bracebridge Dinner" - Season 2, Episode 10 * "Lorelai&

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 4: The Deer Hunters

Directing and writing credits: Written by Jed Seidel, directed by Alan Myerson. "Veronica Mars" fans might know Jed Seidel, who was responsible for three episodes: "Weapons of Class Destruction," "Silence of the Lamb," and "Meet John Smith." The standout for me is

'Gilmore Girls' Season 1, Episode 3: Kill Me Now

Directing and writing credits: This is the first episode in the series not written by ASP. Credit goes to Joanne T. Waters, and it is the only episode of "GG" she is credited with writing. In fact, she has written exactly three episodes of television: This episode of
