I'm pretty sure that Twin Peaks and Gilmore Girls take place in the same universe. There's so much genuine connective tissue between them. I won't go so far as to call GG a spin-off.

What the hell are you talking about? Outside of an obvious love for diner scenes featuring good coffee and yummy pastries, this sounds like a bunch of crazy talk.
Gilmore Girls is a bonkers show. The tone is outright bizarre most of the time. Not to mention all of the direct references to Twin Peaks and David Lynch and all of the actors who appear on both shows. It's all right there!
Oh fuck... what if... what if Stars Hollow is the White Lodge?

How do you people have time to watch so much tv? There's always shows I want to see but don't. And that's just with the network/cable series; I've barely seen any of the streaming only shows.

I've been watching Sopranos again. I watched it when it first aired years ago, and after watching it again I have to say it is still one my favorite tv-shows ever. What I've noticed though is that even though the show has violence, it's so much less graphic than in e.g. Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire. That's one of the things that turned me off in both of those shows. Why do you have show it in so much detail when someone's skull is cracked etc. I wonder if they've done any studies recently about whether the violence in tv-shows has gotten more graphic over the last decade or so.

Maybe I getting older but I think graphic violence is up. Context matters though. The Walking Dead can be graphic but the gooey gore shots of zombie violence doesn't bother me a bit while there's been times I've felt the human/human violence has been much more tense or disturbing.

The New Girl has been renewed for a seventh & final season. It's time.
I'm thrilled by this announcement. I love that they aren't going beyond S7.
They should have stopped years ago. That one nosedived hard.
I still think it is funny, although the Jess/Nick dynamic jumped the shark years ago.
I couldn't finish season 5, and I only got through 4 out of obligation. The characters turned into parodies and it started trying so hard to be Friends.

It's definitely up. I think it might be peaking though. I think a lot of people are turned off by it, judging from the ratings.
