I don't gush.
I don't feel that there wasn't a good ending to any show. Except Firefly (they was robbed).
Gilmore Girls had its day. it had a good few seasons and then went on it's way.
My wife has been binging on the original series again and what struck me mainly was just how bad a mother and role model Lauren Graham's character was. Really, really bad.
Netflix has picked up the show, as they did with the amazing Longmire, and they have gotten everyone back.
The trailer for the new 4-part series 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' is pretty damn amazing!
It picks up 9 years after the youngest Lorelai moves on from Yale. That trailer though, pretty darn amazing.
Enjoy.

5 1/2 TV Shows To Watch
Hi, my name is Jumblerant and I am an addict. I need my TV. I can live without it, I just prefer to indulge on a daily basis.
The talk of the town recently has been Netflix's Stranger Things. An interesting show that combines X-files, Poltergeist and basically became a Science Fiction, Supernatural fiction, Horror fiction, Mystery, set in the '80s.
A few of the shows I've been watching that have gone under the radar are somewhat less dramatic, but just as much fun;
1. Lucifer. Lucy is a simple chap, just likes to have fun and doesn't like ot commit. Except for the fact that he used to run Hell itself, he could be any nightclub owner in LA. Oh, and he's an angel.
Surprisingly funny, this show doesn't lean on the interaction between the female and male leads in a way that Castle (of blessed memory) did.
2. One Mississippi is a dark, dark humour vehicle for Tig Notaro. Definitely worth watching, if only for the amazing acting going on around her character, especially by John Rothman and Noah Harpster.
3. Killjoys is into it's 3rd season and is still a joy to watch. An action-adventure sci-fi drama set in a different galaxy, we follow what is basically a trio of sheriffs bringing justice to the lawless "Quad". There are some very interesting twists and turns that put this show apart from the run of the mill good guy v bad guy show.
4. President Graves is a retired politician who suddenly realises that his legacy is a worsened country, so he is going out there to make some more changes. Interesting, if fanciful, view of a politician who finally receives a soul. As if!
5. Ever wondered how a band tours? No? Me neither. However, Roadies shows us an interesting story behind the scenes of the Straton House Band. Sex, drugs, rock and roll for sure, but also friendship, romance, comedy and also some pretty awesome music.
Overall, there are still some awesome, original and interesting tv shows out there. Go have a look!

Frank Bennet Reisman, 9/11 Victim
It is now 16 years since the attacks of World Trade Center I and II, The Pentagon, Shanksville, American Airlines Flights 11 & 77, and United Airlines Flight 93 & 175.
On that day 2,996 people were ripped from their lives. But as the media and society tend to do, they have focused on the killers. We’ve all learned more about them than we wanted to. On that day many of us made a pledge to never forget what happened.
Some of us bloggers are trying to keep that promise by learning about the people who died that day.
When Frank Reisman was single, mountain climbing was his passion. The summer after the end of college, he hiked the Appalachian Trail alone from Maine to Pennsylvania, picking up dry food that his parents, George and Evie, mailed to him at post offices along the way.
After Mr. Reisman married, family was his focus. Every evening around 6:15 he returned home, where his wife, Gayle, and their two children, Kasey and Dillon, always waited for him to have dinner.
Living in Princeton, N.J., and working at Cantor Fitzgerald on the equities desk, Mr. Reisman, 41, was the perfect suburban daddy, his wife said. He coached Kasey's softball team and took Dillon to golf on the weekends. He taught them how to download music from the Internet and ferret out useful information. Because he left home before the children got up for school, he always sent them online messages from work.
On the morning of the attack, he phoned his wife, who happened to be out jogging. He reached his mom. "He said: `I'll be fine. Don't panic, Mom. I love you,' " Evie Reisman said, as tears welled up in her eyes

Frank is survived and will be sorely missed by his cherished wife, Gayle, his darling children, Kasey 11 and Dillon 9, and by his loving parents, Evie and George.
Wherever he went he made friends; with his kindness, sweet nature, sense of humor, intellectual quickness, and sincere interest in people he was the exemplar of the term ''GreatGuy''.
Frank attended The Elisabeth Morrow School, he graduated in '77 from Dwight-Englewood School and earned a B.A. at Skidmore College in the Class of 1981. Following college and a ''tune-up'' of winter mountaineering in the Adirondacks High Peaks he hiked the Northern section of the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Pennsylvania and then joined his family's manufacturing company, Natalie Lamp & Shade Corp. Afterwards, he was an equities trader with Franklin Resources and for the last 5 years has been at Cantor Fitzgerald's trading desk on the 104th floor of the WTC.

On Being An Old Git
I was just thinking the other day, how pathetic things are that so many 'new ideas' are just rehashing old ones.
Some have worked (Sherlock, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek) and some have failed miserably (Dukes of Hazzard, Ghostbusters) and others are still awaiting the court's decision:
Fuller House
X-Files ( just 6 episodes ordered by Fox)
Coach
Twin peaks
XENA!!!
Gilmore Girls
And then, when I thought it couldn't get any worse, there is this;

According to this article in the Australian website news.com.au the flip phone is making a come back. I even checked the date, to make sure it isn't 1st April!
On the bright side, my 4 year old is thoroughly enjoying the original Full House that she can watch on Netflix.
