Re: eating cues on tv/ Gilmore Girls

[Guest guest]

I *love* Gilmore Girls. Though it's true they eat a LOT of junk food,

I actually think they are great role models because a lot of times

they take a bunch of food, but don't eat much. Or they'll reference

" not being hungry. "

It's also just nice to see people EAT. I imagine they don't eat on

screen much because keeping food edible on set is hard.

I also love Sookie. Yes, she's wacky - but all of the characters on

that show are. We have the entire show on DVD and we're watching

season 3 now, too, lol.

I will say that it makes me miss pizza (I used to live in NYC and now

am in a fairly rural part of CO where good pizza is elusive, lol).

The actress who plays Sookie is now on Who? and the character

is much more dowdy and typical of the " fat sidekick. " It's hard to see

her in that role.

There are actually several actors on Gilmore Girls who are heavy (if

only by TV standards) and it's nice that you see these actresses

working in roles that aren't some sort of walking fat joke.

Ah, I love the Gilmores too, Kip. I only started watching the last few

seasons as well, so I've been eyeing off the box sets of all the

earlier series ... must see if I can borrow them too from somewhere.

And you're right, those girls do love a snack! (And I've often wanted

to graze freely through Sookie's yummy-looking kitchen.)

... I have Season 3 of the Gilmore Girls on dvd from the library and

I've been working my way through it.  They eat A LOT on that show!  I

think that was the problem.  ... I didn't watch the show until the last

couple of seasons so I'm happily watching the dvd's now.
