It's a good show, alright!

Let it not be said that the cheese is prejudiced against certain types, or genres if you will, of entertainment. Right now on his laptop are mp3's from The Roots, The Descendents, Nelly Furtado, The Chieftains, and about 130 more hours fairly eclectic listening fair (except for country...other than Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard the cheese can do without country).

That being said, the cheese will now admit that for the last three years he has faithfully watched Gilmore Girls. And at this point dear reader, you're asking yourself just how gay is the cheese? Well that's some attitude mister! First of all, let us blame momma_cheese for getting the Gilmore Girls to become a part of the cheese family's weekly watching habits. But, you know what, it's a pretty damn enjoyable show. The cheese is not in the least embarrassed to say that he was fairly anxious about the season premiere last night.

Look, the cheese doesn't feel the need to actually justify his viewing habits, however, let's take a look at some of the show's good points:

1. Hot chicks - the cheese has long said that attractive women should not be a reason to watch a show/movie because every single thing produced in Hollywood contains attractive women. However, Lauren Graham is one of the cutest damn women to ever walk god's green earth, and the character she plays only emphasizes said cuteness. Also, Alexis Bleidel has blossomed into a stunning young woman before the audience's eyes.

2. Writing - line for line, no show throws out more pop culture references in so short a time. The average script for an episode of Gilmore Girls must be at least twice as long as any other hour long drama because everyone talks so fast. You'd think it gets annoying, but once you've become acclimated to the Starshollow vernacular, it's like you've been accepted into an exclusive club.

3. Characters - sometimes, too many "quirky" characters can make a show just too damn stupid. Sometimes, however, for whatever reason, it just works. Gilmore Girls has such an odd collection of characters, but it works.

So were you bulding to a point or just explaining how your penis fell off?

Just kidding, but seriously were you going to talk about the season premiere or what?

Well the cheese certainly COULD talk about the season premiere, though, honestly, the one part that the cheese was waiting for didn't happen...at some point Luke goes and punches Christopher in the face, bitch!...but it didn't happen last night...although, Kirk did drive a car through the front of Luke's diner, so that was pretty cool, all in all, though, it was a fairly uneventful episode in that not a whole lot happened between Luke and Loralie...

Also, the cheese' penis didn't fall off, he had it replaced with a cybernetic version 3 years ago...

I read a reviewer that thought the premier wasn't good. They called it more like Gilmore Girls fanfic than the last few seasons.

As much as I enjoy the show myself. Currently, I have no sympathy for Lorelai. Hopefully, Luke will be sucker punching Christopher within the next few episodes.

Actually, the cheese has to side with Loralie on this one...Luke kept his the fact that he had a daughter from Loralie for two months, and then made no attempt to include his fiancee in his daughter's life, and then postponed the wedding...clearly he wasn't ready to share his life completely, which is his choice, of course, but not what Loralie wanted...and while she probably shouldn't have jumped in the sack with her ex, it was her perogative since she had ended her relationship with Luke.
