Its problems were many -- the sitcom approach was but one -- and I'm not sure it could have ever gelled. I have a strong affinity for Parker Posey, Lauren Ambrose, and Scott Cohen, but I don't really see them meshing together on the same show. It was like they cast the show based on a wish list than potential chemistry.<BR/><BR/>Interesting that someone mentioned <I>Miss Guided</I>, a show that actually thrives on the half-hour format.Neel Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286549029037039134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-7908864481588726212008-03-25T20:16:00.000-04:002008-03-25T20:16:00.000-04:00I have a big crush on Sarah Chalke.

I got into Gilmore Girls in its third or fourth season and when I finally saw the pilot and first couple of episodes I wasn't too impressed. The timing on the dialogue was off. Things obviously improved with that.

Personally, I found Ambrose annoying and Posey likable, but still the words they were saying were just baaaaaaad.<BR/>But, Miss Guided is pretty decent . . . and looks like it could get decent-er.<BR/>(Still, I miss the heyday, when Battlestar Galactica was good, and Arrested Development and Veronica Mars were all on the air.)jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313206057933336246noreply@blogger.com
