There are countless awesome tv series with female showrunners at the helm. Thus far, I've only covered "Gilmore Girls" in its entirety, but there's more TK! "My Brilliant Friend" is next.

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

I am not one of those people who bask in togetherness, twinkle lights, and delicious feasts from November-December. Unfortunately, my holiday season isn't like a Nancy Meyers movie. Instead of eating canapés in beautiful houses and engaging in sparkling conversation, I get to hang out with racist relatives
