I was watching Gilmore Girls this week and started to criticize how unrealistic some parts of the show are. I think our last paper about reality TV kind of got to me. Even though, I did write my paper to say Gilmore Girls is realistic; I still found some things to be unrealistic.
The episode I watched was of the Grand Opening of the Dragonfly Inn. So, all of the people of Stars Hollow are invited to spend a weekend at the hotel as a test run. I find it funny that the townspeople always consist of the same twenty or so people such as Luke, Babette, Kirk, Miss Patty, etc.
As the episode progresses, Lorelai's ex, Jason, shows up unexpectedly. However, the whole time Luke was at the Inn and flirting with Lorelai. The audience can tell that Lorelai is interested in Luke. Anyways, she gets furious at Jason that he shows up because she knows it'll ruin her chances with Luke.
Ok, snore, and what a bore! Is it really realistic that Lorelai hooks up with a guy, then, goes to Luke, then back to a different guy or to Christ? Come on! Get a new script. The vicious cycle of Max to Chris to Luke to Jason to a maybe with Luke to a definetly with Chris to Luke and back to Chris in marriage and now a divorce and possibly back to Luke. It was exhausting just writing that.
Anyways, I guess most shows need unrealism to let their productions run through smoothly. But it's kind of cheesy that the audience can tell.
