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.
Hi there — Saul Sugarman here again to bring you a recap on perhaps my all-time favorite "Gilmore Girls" episode, featuring Emily in her tour de force beratement of Lorelai as she totes her mom around to various errands in a bullet-proof SUV. Rory also gives us

There's a Madeleine Albright quote from 2008 (re-popularized in 2013 by Taylor Swift), that goes like this: "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." "Maisel vs. Lennon: The Cut Contest" explores that idea and

"A Vineyard Valentine" is written and directed by Daniel Palladino. Over the course of six seasons, he penned standout episodes, like "The Bracebridge Dinner," "A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving," "You Jump, I Jump Jack," and "We'
In the opening scene, Midge and Imogene (Bailey De Young) head to the storage unit where all of the Weissman possessions are being held. Midge, no stranger to working blue, somehow never realized that she owns a pair of white marble lamps featuring an elaborate orgy scene. They seem like
