The layout of Lorelai's house was a internet running joke for the first few years of the series.

For anyone who hasn't watched the show or only saw bits and pieces here's a summation of the series: Jane Austen meets Aaron Sorkin meets Dawson's Creek meets Northern Exposure meets Everwood meets Sex and the City, but much simpler than that.

This is only semi true, and yes, a decent amount of it hasn't aged well. But I still find most of the first five seasons to be charming, witty and affecting. And there seemed to be more self-awareness and honest pathos in the writing than say on a Sex and the City. The conflicts weren't huge, but they weren't "First…

I reject your Paris hate, who was easily my favorite outside of Lorelai and Emily.

Four 90 minute episodes.

Nina Krilova or is it Adriana La Cerva?

I can't help but look forward to this. It's somewhat out of nostalgia. It's somewhat out of seeing a legitimately solid ending for these characters. And it's somewhat out of wanting to be reminded that decent television doesn't have to be sardonic, dark, subversive, etc. I just hope it's not a mess of corny cameos and…

They both came out in 2001, and Muholland Dr. really started in 1999. So, even "it coming first" is a reach.

Unless we're discussing Minka Kelly/Lyla Garrity I can't help but root for almost everyone with a FNL's connection. Kitsch is not a great or even good actor. Tim Riggins was the perfect role for him, and as time went on his acting and the writing for that character really synced up and clicked, clicked to a degree…

Yes, season six is the worst. Season 7b is the second worst. Season three I prefer to six, 7b, 7a and four (I still don't understand the high acclaim when it comes to four). The third season is a middle of the pack season for me. It's an extreme mixed bag. Some of it is incredibly dull and eye rolling. But there are…

They're comparable in that they both debuted last season. They're both anthologies (Although Fargo really isn't). And I thought both were overrated. Fargo I at least thought was pretty good if overrated. Frankly, beyond episodes 4-6 the debut season of TD was kinda awful to me. A lot of the problems with season two…

I re-watched the show about a month after the series finale. The first season for me is still a couple of tiers higher than everything else. The rest of the series gives the debut season weight that perhaps wasn't initially there. But it's the most consistent, well defined season. And the final two episodes remain in…

I can't with Mad Men being 1, though it would make my top 20. I get it. It's the end of one of the all time great dramas, but the awkwardness of the first few episodes still stand out. And there were only a couple of installments that might make my top 25 episodes of Mad Men. Finally, yes, I'm one of those who thought…

I also find The Americans in general and the first season of Fargo overrated. I thought The Americans' third season was its best thus far. But I've never been too enamored. It's a cold, humorless, risk-less show that has only a couple of truly interesting characters. However, Rhys' performance and a few great episodes…

Review is definitely superior.

It's a kooky family drama with some ironic tones. It's definitely not a comedy, season two even less so. It's considered a comedy for awards and marketing purposes.

Honestly, I wish it was lower. It might crack my top 30, but I think that might be because I only watched slightly over 30 shows this year. Without "Hardhome" it's easily the weakest, messiest season of the show.

Enlightened, with the exception of the iffy but still intriguing first half of its debut season, is almost a perfect show. Season two remains my favorite season of any show over the past five years. Still desperately miss it.

"prestige drama" doesn't have to equate to dark, cynical show. It was very earnest, too earnest for some people. But it's probably the only truly great drama that was also frequently uplifting and sentimental, which is why it's so beloved. There were definitely elements here and there that were too melodramatic for…

Only "Texas Forever" and "Underdogs" are for me close to "The Son". "State" does make my top five, and "Tomorrow Blues" is in my top fifteen. Vince's subplot in "The Son" is pretty lowkey unlike the rest of the season. And I actually liked Becky's subplot. I thought they did a good job at giving Saracen all the…
