Here’s another of those musical moments in a TV show or movie that uses song and performance for a big emotional impact. I’d love to dedicate an entire blog to scenes like this one but they’re very hard to come by on the Web because of those pesky copyright laws.
Along with my wife, I was a pretty loyal watcher of Gilmore Girls for most of its run. But when creator Amy Sherman-Palladino left the show toward the end of its run, I tuned out. The show was so much a product of her sensibility (she and/or her husband wrote almost every single episode, which is extremely rare in network TV) that it just felt like another show about the same characters. It didn’t help that our cable provider stopped carrying The CW.
