Now I feel like I have to watch the first seasons of Secret Life and Pretty Little Liars before embarking on watching Gilmore Girls.

edit: Also the first half of this season of Once Upon a Time.

I honestly thought 24 should have focused on a new and different agent each season instead of Jack Bauer in every single one.

Had the same thoughts about Homeland. Can keep guys like Sal and Dar Adal as constants but thought it'd be better if each season had a new location and new arc with new agents.

Man I feel like I need to rewatch Bunheads cause I do not remember Liza Weil in it at all. Even though IMDB and everything says so too.

I binged through Gilmore Girls last year, and my current binge-series is Gossip Girls. During the first season, all I wanted was a Blair/Paris spinoff.

I was so annoyed when it was cancelled, ASP did the seemingly impossible task of making a show like GG that even had a stand in for Lauren Graham who had a totally different approach to acting and somehow it actually worked, and was this wonderfully sweet little show in its own rights.

The intro where they did the Bjork track was so good. I don't know if it was the name or the subject matter that put people off (probably a combo of the two, I wouldn't have watched if it wasn't for GG) but they really didn't give it long to find its audience. Ugh.

I've seen Grease once or twice when I was younger and half-paying attention and I haven't watched any of the live musical things before so I went into it with a pretty open mind and I can confirm this.

Though 50+% of my satisfaction with it was Wendell Pierce so there's that too.

Riverdale was already done really well on Fox's ADHD block. Obviously this'll be live action and not ten minutes long, but it's still the exact same concept.

It's funny how Vinnie Jones has been acting for about 20 years and it took him this long to get a role that actually required some effort and he was remarkably able to step up to the part.

If it's anything like the current Archie books being produced, Riverdale is going to more or less be a straightforward teen drama but with Archie characters in it.

Alternatively, if they based it on Afterlife with Archie, I'd totally be okay with that.

Way back in 2001 he was in a movie called NIGHT AT THE GOLDEN EAGLE and he was great in it. It's taken from then until now for him to actually act again.

It's actually being made by the same guy writing Afterlife with Archie and is said to be Archie meets Twin Peaks.

How much murder did you think there would be in Gilmore Girls? Because there's a solid amount of murder in PLL.

Not really all her fault, but a couple of Rory's boyfriends probably might have ended up better off meeting an axe murderer.

s6 spoilers for the one guy currently watching it: Jess coming back to call out how much Rory's new friends were insufferable, and how much she's changed and not for the better was one of the most satisfying episodes in the show.

S1 is by no means bad, S2 is just a huge step up. And S1 is only 8 episodes so it's not like a big commitment. Also, some of the main character arcs of S2 won't have the same power if you haven't seen S1.
