Good, the show sounds like they don't know what they want to do with it. Plus after what happened to Gilmore Girls I will never trust the creators.

I think you can hardly blame Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino for what happened to "Gilmore Girls" after they left. (I still haven't seen the final season, but I understand it was, at best, very different and, at worst, awful.) That said, I less than optimistic about this new show.

Pretty soon, no one is going to start watching new shows on Fox. When is Fox going to learn that they actually need to give shows a chance before they decide whether or not to cut them.

I think the second half of the final season of Gilmore Girls is wonderful. I blame them for ditching the show and completely wrecking every bit of the show that was enjoyable. Rory sleeping with a married Dean was dumb, him leaving so fast was dumb, Rory dating Logan for as long as she did was bad, the Lor and Rory fighting was terrible, Luke having a 12 year old?!?! Dear lord the shark jumped so high I couldn't see it! After they left the new guy tried to fix the mess and i think after about halfway through the final season he did well.

I will NEVER watch another show by the Gilmore Girl people again.

I've seen the pilot, and though the laugh-track is... jarring, it's still funny. I read the script long before and it translates really well. Plus, Parker Posey + Lauren Ambrose = Awesome.

Also, it's got Max from Gilmore (I forget the actor and Max's last name).

It's classic Amy Sherman, fast, witty dialogue; a decent premise (so decent, in fact, there's an identical movie with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey on the way). All it really had going against it was Fox.

And they didn't disappoint.

I don't understand why Fox gives up on shows like this instead of pitching them to FX or another Fox network or just dumping it outright.

If they're just going to use it for low-rated filler, why not show reruns of a show they can actually help?

I will still watch it since it is the Palladino's and I love Parker Posey. Sure they were't fair to the WB in using GG to get an extended contract and then leaving the show with a impossible story line. But I still give the Palladino's another chance because I like their style and how Amy creates such strong female characters.

I've never heard of this before, and I was certainly no fan of Gilmore Girls. But how can you get Posey and Ambrose and not create an amazing show around them?

Can't say I care... I really, really dislike Parker Posey.

I can't say that I'm shocked. I watched a bit of the pilot and I didn't think it was very funny at all. The laugh track=tacky. The concept is just odd. Also, I don't trust Amy Sherman Palladino whatsoever. Ha. Yes, she's a great writer but the woman can't hold a story for nothing. I doubt I'd ever get invested in another one of her shows, even if it's great writing/etc wise, due to what she did to the characters during season six of Gilmore Girls. She had it all - and she screwed it to pieces in regards to Gilmore Girls. So, I don't trust her even if she might be a good writer (that's very ADD with her actual story telling).

To be fair, the Palladinos are morons.
