The "Istanbul" dance is its most iconic and "Makin' Whoopee" its most technically impressive, but I would actually nominate "Picture in a Frame," which was the series most emotional dance.

"The television audience is just never going to embrace a show that is deliberately low stakes, that is about the way certain characters try to live their lives with quiet dignity and struggle to find their way forward through complicated thickets of maturity."

Maybe Amazon will save it.  It seems to have tripled in viewer reviews there since the season ended.

"Clearly the males on this world are the smart ones.  He.Wants.To.Know.About.The.Plant."

Honestly, is it time for time yet?

I remember reading somewhere that Hawke suggested some darker plot points early on and was soundly rejected by the other two saying, "Who wants to watch that?  This has to be
entertaining."  Delpy said the three of them really made sure that the film was always funny.  This isn't Virginia Woolf, i.e. a realistic…

Meredith Borders over at Badass Digest is also recapping the show with significantly more humor, affection and creativity. Check it out.

How demeaning is Hollywood toward women?  And how demeaning are the women who judge themselves according to Hollywood's worth?

The flashback is the masterpiece of the entire DCAU, one of the best storylines ever in any Batman medium, and the summation of one of the strongest two-character relationships of any television series ever.

Seth McFarlane would like his check for copying his Stewie Griffin character.

I'm always unclear whether Batman and Catwoman knew each other's secret identities.  Why would Bruce say he had dated Selina Kyle (who was really attracted to Batman), unless they both knew the other's alter ego.

It's weird that a network is so unconcerned with publicly sabotaging their new shows by holding an old one hostage.  But they realize that most of the people who watch Bunheads don't watch anything else on ABC Family, and the people who watch everything else on ABC Family don't watch Bunheads.

The title sequence in Singin' in the Rain.

LORELAI AND CHRISTOPHER DO A DANCING SCENE!! AND IT'S TERRIFIC AND ROMANTIC!!

- I play Star Time so often my speakers start to shake in anticipation whenever I approach.

I like Friends and still watch it often, but this is an insane undertaking: 236 episodes, 118 weeks barring no breaks.

The comedy in these two episodes is on fire, two of Daniel Palladino's best.

Or are we dancer?

Yesterday's announcement of Sutton Foster's Critic's Choice Award nomination garnered not a mention on ABC Family's website.  Not a single peep.

The "Top 3%" dinner scene is hilarious ("Who do you know at Chilton" "Ummm….Rory").  It's a cool reintroduction of the grandparents: after a season of building them up as prim and stuffy, the show reintroduces them by having a deliriously exuberant Emily opening the door  (Lorelai: "You're scaring Rory."), completely…
