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:
“Partings” is directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who co-wrote the episode with Daniel Palladino. In their 2006 interview with Michael Ausiello, they insist the S6 ending was in no way a bitter sabotage. When Ausiello presses Amy, this is what she says:
"Everything we put in
Along with making me want to dunk Ritz Crackers in a dry whiskey, this episode reminds me that despite Midge's significant character growth, she's still a self-absorbed asshole much of the time. At least she has the good sense to prevent Esther and Ethan from dressing
Hi there — Saul Sugarman here again to bring you a recap on perhaps my all-time favorite "Gilmore Girls" episode, featuring Emily in her tour de force beratement of Lorelai as she totes her mom around to various errands in a bullet-proof SUV. Rory also gives us her utmost
Directing and writing credits:
"Super Cool Party People" is directed by Ken Whittingham, written by David S. Rosenthal. This is Whittingham's first and only episode of "GG," but he's one of those directors who has been around for decades and worked on
There's a Madeleine Albright quote from 2008 (re-popularized in 2013 by Taylor Swift), that goes like this: "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." "Maisel vs. Lennon: The Cut Contest" explores that idea and comes

"I Get a Sidekick Out of You" is directed and written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, a woman I've been in a love-hate relationship with since this episode aired sixteen years ago. I could have overlooked the Luke/April nonsense and Rory's
Directing and writing credits:
"The Real Paul Anka" is directed and written by Daniel Palladino because of course it is! It features a dumb fucking dream that we are forced to suffer through, weird Kirk shit, and a lot of annoying April field trip antics. I don'
Directing and writing credits:
"I'm OK, You're OK" is directed by Lee Shallat Chemel, written by Keith Eisner. Chemel was last seen in "Tippecanoe and Taylor, Too," the episode that marked the beginning of the end for Lane Kim. Let's
In the first episode of the season, I worried about how the writers would handle Midge's Shy transgressions. Her "revenge" set at the Gaslight indicated a complete lack of remorse and self-awareness. As fun as it can be to watch a character who storms through life
Directing and writing credits:
"Bridesmaids Revisited" is directed by Linda Mendoza, written by Rebecca Rand Kirshner. This is Mendoza's first and only episode of "GG," but her TV directing credits on IMDb are extensive. She's been working steadily since the early '
At the Wolford, Midge continues pushing for improvements despite everyone else's comfortable complacency. I relate hard to Russell (Matthew Jeffers), a behind the scenes guy who just wants to collect his paycheck and GTFO. I was this person at my last job, but less successful at setting boundaries.
To no one's surprise, Midge is now working as a warm-up comic at the Wolford burlesque club. While the talent is impressive, the stage management, run by some dipshit named Boise (Santino Fontana from "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"), isn't exactly stellar. The episode opens with a
