There are countless awesome tv series with female showrunners at the helm. Thus far, I've only covered "Gilmore Girls" in its entirety, but there's more TK! "My Brilliant Friend" is next.
Directing and writing credits:
Directed by Michael Katelman, written by Daniel Palladino. I don't talk that much about the "Gilmore Girls" direction because honestly, it's pretty damn formulaic. Are you a competent director who is well-versed in early 2000s teen shows? Great, you&
Directing and writing credits:
Directed by Dennis Erdman, written by Joan Binder Weiss. The most notable credit on Erdman's resume is for "Running with Scissors," the "Sex and the City" episode where Natasha finds out that Big and Carrie are lying/cheating assholes and
Directing and writing credits:
Directed by Chris Long, written by Sheila R. Lawrence. This is Long's first episode of "GG," but he'll go on to direct some of my all-time favorites, like "The Bracebridge Dinner" and "Nag Hammadi Is Where
Directing and writing credits:
Directed by Michael Katleman, written by Amy Sherman-Palladino. Michael Katleman directed a bunch of previous "GG" episodes:
* "Cinnamon's Wake" - A cat's funeral takes precedence over Lorelai's date with Max Medina (as it should be, tbh)
I am not one of those people who bask in togetherness, twinkle lights, and delicious feasts from November-December. Unfortunately, my holiday season isn't like a Nancy Meyers movie. Instead of eating canapés in beautiful houses and engaging in sparkling conversation, I get to hang out with racist
Directing and writing credits:
Directed by Jamie Babbit, written by Daniel Palladino. Jamie Babbit's body of work is pretty impressive: she's directed 5 feature films and episodes of many shows that I love, like "Popular," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "Silicon Valley.

Directing and writing credits:
Written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino. From Seasons 2-6, ASP writes and directs every premiere episode. This one isn't my favorite (that award goes to Season 4's "Ballrooms and Biscotti"), but it sets a good tone for the
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Daniel Palladino, directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino. Before I started really diving into the credits of each episode, I didn't realize how uncommon it is for Amy and Dan to work together as writer and director. The only other episode directed by
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Elaine Arata and Joan Binder Weiss, directed by Lev L. Spiro. You should remember them from previous episodes:
* Elaine Arata wrote "Concert Interruptus" - the one where Paris and Rory kind of maybe become friends.
* Joan Binder Weiss wrote the following previously covered
Directing and writing credits:
Written by John Stephens and Linda Loiselle Guzik, directed by Perry Lang. This is the first episode co-written by a team that isn't Amy and Dan and I have to say, the dialogue is pretty snappy and on point, but the story drags
