First Trailer for Alexis Bledel’s new show: Us and Them

May 14, 2013 By Rich 3 Comments

us staceyAlexis Bledel (who you may recognise as Rory Gilmore from Gilmore Girls) and Jason Ritter (recently seen as Lauren Graham’s romantic interest in Parenthood) have a new trailer for Fox’s new mid-season show, Us and Them.

Based on the cult BBC show Gavin and Stacey, the trailer looks promising and gives a good glimpse of Alexis with a new ‘do, starring as the sweet Stacey who travels from Pennsylvania to New York for a first in-person date with down-to-earth co-worker Gavin.

The supporting cast of friends and family is gagging with comedic talent and the series has solid roots.  Could be good; could be great.  What do you think?

Gilmore Girls Returns to ABC Family

This summer, it appeared that ABC Family was pulling the plug on re-runs of Gilmore Girls, replacing the 5pm timeslot with The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Although not returning to the 5pm slot, ABC Family will be playing Gilmore Girls re-runs at 11am starting on October 3rd. The show picks up in Season 3.

It’s not clear if fan incentive brought the show back or not, at least in re-runs, but we like to think it did!

Lauren Graham Talks “Gilmore Girls” and “Parenthood”

August 25, 2011 By arieanna 6 Comments

Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) sat down with Buddy TV to talk about what’s up for Parenthood and her character Sarah in the upcoming third season,

So, I’m a big fan of all your work! I love Gilmore Girls. What would you say to fans who really miss the show?

Lauren Graham: I miss it too, I mean you know I miss that kind of precision of language and those kind of crazy, quirky stories. I don’t think a week goes by where I don’t reference that time, those stories, those people.

Are you still in touch with anyone from the show?

Lauren Graham: Yeah, I’m in touch with a lot of people. Kelly Bishop is joining the cast of Anything Goes on Broadway in a couple weeks, so I’m definitely going to see her. Alexis I talk to, and Amy. You know, it was a significant part of my life.

So glad to hear that Lauren keeps in touch with her fellow Gilmore girls!

ABC Family Replaces Gilmore Girls Re-Runs

July 15, 2011 By arieanna 41 Comments

ABC Family, which has long been the destination for Gilmore Girls re-runs at 5pm, is taking the show off of its prime spot. Instead, the 5pm timeslot will be filled with The Secret Life of the American Teenager. The change will reportedly take place after July 18th. Fans learned of the change by new ads for the timeslot.

Fans have been flocking to the ABC Family boards to protest the change in timing.

There has been no official announcement of what this means for Gilmore Girls. Will it still be shown, but at a different time? Do you know?

Gilmore Girls Emmy Snub Still Mentioned

June 20, 2011 By arieanna 7 Comments

As Zap2it notes, Gilmore Girls never got the Emmy love it deserved. We’ve hashed this out before. But still, I’m always really happy to see that the show is remembered in every Emmy season:

gilmore-girls-season-3-06.jpg

“Gilmore Girls”: There weren’t many other shows like it on TV: a hip mom, her teenage daughter/buddy, and a Connecticut town full of characters, all shooting off Amy Sherman-Palladino’s rapid-fire, pop reference-laden dialogue. At some point, you would have thought that Sherman-Palladino, star Lauren Graham, who handled the dialogue and emotions like a pro, or supporting star Kelly Bishop would have at least gotten a nomination. But the show got nominated for only one Emmy in its seven-year run, for makeup. The show did at least get a win for its one and only nod; let’s hope the makeup department lets Graham and Sherman-Palladino come and visit the Emmy every so often.

Let’s hope that Melissa McCarthy and Lauren Graham get some nods for their current work this year!!

Gilmore Girls Theme Song a Classic

June 11, 2011 By arieanna 2 Comments

BuddyTV put together a list of the 101 Greatest TV Theme Songs of All Time. And what list on theme songs would be complete without a tribute to Gilmore Girls?? ‘Where You Lead’ by Carole King is just amazing!

But it should have been #1 on the list, not #92!!

Thanks Sylvia!

Lauren Graham Talks Acting

June 8, 2011 By arieanna 10 Comments

At the recent Emmy Screening, Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) talked about her role on Parenthood and how it’s changed her as a person. She also shares some thoughts on comparing the series to Gilmore Girls:

Gilmore Girls was so language-based, so technical. It was about committing something perfectly to memory, because there was no deviation from the script. In terms of stamina and having to memorize, Parenthood feels much more like my experiences of doing film, where the moments are smaller. It’s those small moments of listening, that’s where the show lives.

The interview contains some great tidbits about how Lauren taps into her emotions and how she’s learned about herself as an actress.

I feel much more vulnerable as an actor than I used to, and I think that’s a function of using my brain and my words less and having to access a greater emotional life. I’ve had to just access things emotionally that I never had to before.
