Tivo tears

I watched the Gilmore Girls finale last night.   I realize I'm a day late here.  That's what Tivo does to you.  It lets you be lazy about watching TV.

Anyway, I just thought you all should know that I cried.  Joel was off at a team function, and I took advantage of my evening alone to watch some of the shows that Joel can't stand to listen to -- you know, Seventh Heaven, One Tree Hill, America's Next Top Model, that sort of thing.  Oh, SHUT UP.  I know they're bad shows.  That's why I love them.

It's been awhile since I had a good cry over a book or movie.  Well, I did shed a few isolated tears while reading 1776, but it's wasn't a good, cathartic cry.  I think the last time I had a great cry over something totally fictional was when I watched The Notebook over MLK Day weekend.  That's a long time, people! 

So, Gilmore Girls broke my dry spell.  I'm not ashamed to admit it.  I am not overly sad that the show is going off the air; I think it's time and there will always be reruns on ABC Family (which I watch every day at the gym).  But man, when Luke started planning the surprise party?  I just couldn't help it.  And then when Richard apologized to Lorelei for their past relationship?  I lost it.  By the time it became clear that Emily was trying to loan money to Lorelei so she wouldn't lose touch with her, I was sobbing.

I'm also not ashamed to admit that I am 110% in love with Luke Danes.  I defy anyone to tell me that they don't feel the same way.

Ditto on Gilmore Girls. I think I must go buy the first season to celebrate/commemorate/attempt to not go through Gilmore withdrawals

I cried too!
The whole show is completely lost on my dear hubby but what does he know. I loved when Luke and Lorelei kissed and the thing with her mom and the coffee at the end and the party....
