We were never like these kids in high school, even at our nerdiest. Thank God. There ought to always be time in high school for sliding down banisters and irking nuns, taunting the grade school kids at recess, practicing those blasted field demos and being, well, teenagers. Despite all that, we turned out pretty ok, right? :) Hi Ams, got here from your comment on my blog. Thanks for stopping by!

The older generation is concerned with protocol and status, and the younger generation rebels against constraints. Lorelai raises her daughter alone, but to send her to the best school, she reaches out to her aristocratic parents -- so pinoy!. And she is such an intrusive and manipulative mother --kinda like a lot of mothers who mean well, but is trapped in this old paradigm of conformity. But still there is alot of love that loralai, and rory, has for her mom. Of course, there is that famous GG banter and wit... that might be a tougher sell -- not coz of the lack of banter and wit in filipino-- but because its not clear that pinoys would warm up to a smart and witty heroine. But its not clear just coz it hasn't been done! hahaha... sorry for the essay. i just love the show. i can totally imagine a pinoy version, maybe stars hollow can be a small town in Laguna, and the grandparents live in Forbes Park... :) clearly i've been thinking about this a while... its very pinoy!

Ironically enough, Gilmore had a loyal following among Filipino viewers.

Its a great show about 3 generations of women. why can't the Philippines do something like that? Too bad Amy sherman-palladinos' "the return of jezebel james" kinda sucked... I Luv Gilmore Girls!
