Gilmore Girls

One of the great things about some NZ channels is that I can watch re-runs of shows that I used to watch in America. Lately, one of the stations has been showing "Gilmore Girls" in the evenings on the weekdays. I usually substitute it for the news because lets face it the world can be a bit depressing. I never was a religious watcher of the show but it is fun to see all the episodes that I've missed right up until the end. This show was approved by Focus on Families which at the end of the series seems kind of odd. As the series has progressed I find that it follows the formula that all great shows follow nearing the end of its run, its gets tedious, predictable and down-right frustrating to watch. Still I have had some good and bad things that I've learned from Loralie and Rory and the rest of the characters.

1) Even if you have parents that don't understand you, you should always have them involved in their grandchildren's lives.
2) If you treat your parents with respect then your children will treat you and them with respect.
3) Even if we don't agree, I still love you.
4) Never, ever, ever keep secrets from your significant other because it always comes out
5) Always communicate, don't sit there and brood and suddenly explode like a volcano while the other person doesn't have a clue what brought this on.
6) We all make mistakes and should be forgiven.
7) Enjoy life!
8) You shouldn't flirt with ex-boyfriends/ex-girlfriends because its just bad.
9) Living in a small town can be fun.
10) Marriage takes effort but loving them is easy.
11) Don't look down on people, just because they don't do it your way doesn't mean they're stupid.
12) Don't be impulsive when it comes to big decisions, like marriage and children.
13) When you over-analyze, you just make a mess of things.
14) Always listen to good music.
15) Make sure you have a good outfit on.

I hope you enjoyed my light-hearted post!
