'Girls' goes on -- and it's still good | September 22, 2006
It's rare that the creator-executive producer of a show is as important to fans' reactions to the program as the star(s) of a show. There are instances, though, where a show would not be the same without the showrunners.
Take "Sports Night," Aaron Sorkin's brilliant brainchild. Or J.J. Abrams' "Alias." Anything by Joss Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel" and "Firefly"). Most ardent TV fans would go ahead and add "Gilmore Girls" and Amy Sherman Palladino to that list. But they'd be wrong. Read the rest ...

Great column, as usual. I don't watch GG (except for a few episodes in reruns every now and again). It's just too much to try to catch up on. I keep telling myself that I'll get the DVD's and just start at the beginning.
(Dude, there is TOO MUCH TV THAT I LOVE AND NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY!)
But you know that.

I am really happy about the change, truly. At first, I was upset that ASP would pull herself out of the show because she gave WB an ultimatum. The fact that DR has taken over, given its characters new life and that he pretty much has captured the GG banter, I think this will be a good partnership.
Again, nowhere but up!

Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel have contracts through this season and then who knows? I think this will be the last.
