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:
In somewhat standard fashion, ASP writes and directs the S5 premiere. The pilot and Palladino-less S7 opener are the only exceptions to the norm. While I understand it, I totally resent her for leading us deeper into a third take of Rory and Dean's
Directing and writing credits:
"Raincoats and Recipes" is directed and written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. Despite all of the Rory/Dean fuckery, it's one of my favorites of the season. I wish ASP and Dan could clone themselves and write/direct everything.
Most batshit crazy outfit:

"Last Week Fights, This Week Tights" is directed by Chris Long, written by Daniel Palladino. This is Long's final directing credit after a long string of episodes starting in S2:

"Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' the Twist" is directed by Jamie Babbit, written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. I desperately want Babbit to direct another feature film. I revisit "But I'm a Cheerleader" (1999) once every few years and surprisingly, it

"The Reigning Lorelai" is directed by Marita Grabiak, written by Jane Espenson. This is Grabiak's first (and only) episode of "GG," and she does a commendable job. I imagine it would be relatively boring to direct this kind of TV

"Scene in a Mall" is directed by Chris Long, written by Daniel Palladino. Both of these dudes are no strangers to the Stars Hollow universe. Long has directed these previous episodes:
"Presenting Lorelai Gilmore" - Rich white people nonsense, blah blah blah.

"The Incredible Sinking Lorelais" is directed by Stephen Clancy, written by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino. Clancy worked on "GG" as a camera operator since S1, but this is his directorial debut. His IMDB page is a little boring, but it did
