I watch a lot of "TV," and I put TV in quotes because you all know I don't OWN a TV nor do I subscribe to cable service. Or maybe you didn't know... well, now you know.
But anyway, I watch a lot of TV. And sometimes, what makes or breaks a show for me is the writing. Yeah, acting and directing counts, too, but if you throw some smart, witty writing in there, everything else can sometimes fall into place.
Such is the case with Gilmore Girls.
I didn't fall in love with this show until 2007- long after it went off the air- but still, I love it! I dare say, it became a slight obsession.
Below are some of the cleverest words ever uttered by TV characters, which prove by far that members of the Writer's Guild really do deserve everything they are asking for and then some:

Below are some of the cleverest words ever uttered by TV characters, which prove by far that members of the Writer's Guild really do deserve everything they are asking for and then some:
Luke: [telling Lorelei why he should not be in charge of kids] I have no patience for jam-hands!
Michel: Well, you know what happens when you assume.
Lorelai: What?
Michel: I don't know. Something about a donkey. It is a stupid American phrase.
Rory: I have to perform Act Five of "Romeo and Juliet" with Paris, Madeline and Louise.
Lorelai: Really?
Rory: Paris has appointed herself as director.
Lorelai: Nice. What part are you playing?
Rory: I don't know yet. She's still mulling over the screen tests right now. We're gonna find out tomorrow.
Lorelai: Screen tests?
Rory: 24 takes.
Lorelai: Ah, I so want a copy.
Rory: Forget it.
Lorelai: Sell it on the Internet, make a fortune. 'First we brought you Pamela and Tommy Lee, now prepare yourselves for the crazy antics of Rory and the Bard.'
Rory: Oh, and I told Paris that you would make all of our costumes so she wants to have a concept meeting with you tomorrow at three.
Lorelai: What?
Rory: Yeah, she needs a resume and samples of your previous work and, uh, referrals.
Lorelai: And my bare butt to kiss?
Rory: If you think that will set you apart from the other applicants, yes.
Michel: [Sookie wants Michel to choose a cookie] I don't care.
Sookie: I just need a quick opinion!
Michel: It took me two seconds to tell you I don't care, that's as quick as I get.
Logan: Rory, you're special.
Rory: Like "stop-eating-the-paste" special?
Sookie: Okay, here we go. Low fat, whole wheat blueberry pancakes.
Michel: Are there 12?
Sookie: 12 what?
Michel: Blueberries. I can only have 12 blueberries for breakfast.
Sookie: Or what?
Michel: What do you mean, or what?
Sookie: What happens if you eat 13 blueberries?
Michel: This is a silly conversation.
Sookie: Would you die?
Michel: Just hand me the plate.
Sookie: Only if you don't count.
Michel: I won't count.
Sookie: Swear. Raise your right hand and say, 'May Destiny's Child break up if I count these blueberries.'
Michel: [raises his hand] ... Pick another group.
Sookie: Nope.
Michel: [slams hand down] I hate you! Hate you!
