Why Gilmore Girls might be annoying
The show benefits from nepotism, with creator Amy Sherman-Palladino's husband writing many episodes.
The scripts are full of obscure literary and cultural references.
The show is obsessed with upper-crust New England culture (Ivy League schools, Daughters of the American Revolution, etc.).
Lauren Graham is only 14 years older than her TV daughter Alexis Bledel.
Actors frequently leave the show for better jobs, forcing the writers to abandon whole storylines.
It spawned a spinoff that flopped.
Although Edward Herrmann receives star billing, he's almost never on the show.
Why Gilmore Girls might not be annoying
It successfully blends comedy and drama.
It features many strong female characters.
The scripts are often witty and amusing.
It is book-smart (a rare thing on the WB).
It has a strong cult following.
Its two lead actresses have inspired male fantasies of a 'Gilmore sandwich.'
It is the only sitcom to convince acclaimed writer Norman Mailer to make a guest appearance.
