Is it the best TV show ever? Or simply the best TV show in, say, the last 75 years? (Apologies to fans of "The Wire" and "The Snorks".) I'm not sure I can answer that objectively -- take a look at my bio on the right there (go on, I'll wait ... read it already) and you'll see why. So I'm heartened to hear that the "Gilmore Girls" might, just maybe, possibly, cross my fingers, be picked up for another season ... if the stars can be wooed back.

What's not to like? I know moms who have forcibly sat their daughters on couches, hoping to god they could develop the same convivial, pop culture patter that has defined the show. That is, until new writers were brought on board this year and the show became a dull ghost of its former self with characters prattling on endlessly just to chat instead of, you know, saying something. Still, the main characters somehow managed to salvage the season, because you can't get tired of the Fantasyland that is children and parents who actually like each other's company. Most times.

Buried deep in a San Francisco Chronicle TV article is the news that the two stars -- Lauren "Bad Santa" Graham -- and Alexis "Sin City" Bledel -- might be asked back for another year. So what of it, people? Do you want one more season, or have the "Gilmore Girls" jumped the shark? Or, as with most things, am I the only one who cares?
