Directing and writing credits: Directed by Kevin Dowling, written by Linda Loiselle Guzik. This is Dowling's only episode of "GG" but he's directed a bunch of random things over the years, like "Joan of Arcadia," "One Tree Hill," and "

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Jamie Babbit, written by Daniel Palladino. Fun fact: Babbit has directed more episodes of "GG" than ASP. You should remember her from "The Road Trip to Harvard" at the beginning of the season. She'll go on to direct

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino, written by Sheila R. Lawrence. ASP has actually only directed fifteen episodes of the original "Gilmore Girls," which kind of surprises me. In a 2013 Collider interview about "Bunheads," ASP was asked how she decides which episodes to

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Gail Mancuso, written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. Mancuso also directed "Red Light on the Wedding Night" and I wrote a little bit about her career in that post. In Sherman-Palladino news, here's a good article about her and "The Marvelous

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, written by Daniel Palladino. Linka Glatter is great and has directed many awesome shows and movies, including these previous "Gilmore Girls" episodes: * "Pilot" (1.1) - the one where we meet those adorable Gilmore Girls for the

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Robert Berlinger, written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. This is Berlinger's first episode of "Gilmore Girls," and he'll go on to direct two others in Season 6: "Always a Godmother, Never a God" and "Twenty-One is the

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Steve Gomer, written by Frank Lombardi. Both of these guys are "GG" one-and-dones. Notable lines on Gomer's resume include episodes of "Veronica Mars" and "Joan of Arcadia." Did anyone else used to watch the latter show

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Nicole Holofcener, written by Linda Loiselle Guzik. It's such a bummer to me that this is the episode they gave Holofcener. She's a talented, capable director, and some of that certainly shines through in "Secrets and Loans," but

Directing and writing credits: This episode was directed by Chris Long, who has directed a number of my favorite "GG" episodes, including "A Tale of Poes and Fire" and "Nag Hammadi is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospel." Daniel Palladino wrote this episode, so

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Danny Leiner, written by John Stephens. Leiner is probably best known for directing stoner movies like "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle." He's also responsible for the "Freaks and

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Michael Katelman, written by Daniel Palladino. I don't talk that much about the "Gilmore Girls" direction because honestly, it's pretty damn formulaic. Are you a competent director who is well-versed in early 2000s teen shows? Great, you'

Directing and writing credits: Directed by Dennis Erdman, written by Joan Binder Weiss. The most notable credit on Erdman's resume is for "Running with Scissors," the "Sex and the City" episode where Natasha finds out that Big and Carrie are lying/cheating assholes and
