Well, I'm home sick today. Yuck. And you know what that means: No capacity for intelligent thought processes so I must resort to what my dad calls "silly stuff."
Can there be any doubt that "Gilmore Girls" is one of the best, if not the best, shows on television right now? It's so smart and so funny. And as my Superman keenly points out to testosterone-charged nay-sayers, "not as girly as you think." Some people don't dig the whole quick-as-lightning wit and think the dialogue moves too quickly, making it unrealistic. Ah, but that's the charm. The Gilmore girls talk the way we all wish we talked: clever, bright and no words wasted. It may not be true to life, but who watches television because it's a dead-on impression of their own world? The cool thing is that no matter how "unrealistic" the repartee is may be, there is, in every show, an authentic moment of humanity and emotion. Now that's good television.

Also sick, but not on leave, because I'm just sitting here waiting for the phone to ring.
