"I 4/4ths Don't Care."


THEWIDESCREEN review of Gilmore Girls season 2 episode “Teach Me Tonight”. 





The Gilmore Girls is a show to sit and watch. You sip it. This is not a tv show for you to fast-forward. Otherwise you will miss Amy Sherman-Palladino’s great dialogue. 


In this episode, it features Lorelai being fed up with the towns choice for town square movie in the open, so she decides to do something about it. 
She gets a binder from the guy in charge, with movies to choose from, all the movies suck, they are lifetime movies or worse and not famous. 

After going trough the whole episode struggling for which movie to choose, she just picks the one she hated from the begining and the one they’ve picked for the past three years. 

This tv show really gets small time life right. It really feels like it takes place in a small town, when in reality it takes places on the Warner Bros studio Lot in California.














But the town characters, from the owner of the fruit store that gets angry when a rival marketplace offering fruits opens in front of his store and he’s fuming, to the other small town details that litter the show. 

The show also features the appearance of Melissa Mcharthy as Sookie, a chef in this small town. This was 2002, so no one had heard of Melissa Mcharty and she’s great in the series. 
A fan favoirte is Luke’s. The diner in the tv show. Old timey and care-free. The best. 
This one’s one to savor. 
Grade: Widescreen.

Family Guy “Island Adventure”

a THEWIDESCREEN TV review thoughts after the jump   A great episode. The best episode of the 17th season. This is the season that is airing right now on fox in the usa. This episode is written by long time writer for the show Steve Callahan. He wrote the classic episode "Thin White Line" where Brian is a police dog and gets hooked on cocaine another classic check it out. Steve Callahan’s been on the show since season 3. This is season 17.   No tricycle for me!!  Great plot. Peter sells off Stewie's tricycle as it gets shipped off to trash island and it’s up to stewie and brian to go find it and get it back. They board a ship and set sail on the waters for trash island. Almost dying on the way becoming shipwrecked and unable to get back home. They get the tricycle back at the end. This episode was so good vintage simple classic Family Guy that it made us at THEWIDESCREEN go back and re watch some of season 17’s best episodes.   ...

Did Tony Soprano Die?

a THEWIDESCREEN analysis. thoughts after the jump. Yes Tony dies. He gets shot in the last scene it’s so obvious that we don’t know why we didn’t see it back in 2007 when the finale aired. Here is our case for why Tony dies. The first episode of the last season is titled “Members Only” so it’s full circle that episodes later the man in the diner in the last scene in the finale “Made In America” is wearing a members only  jacket. It’s foreshadowing. The last season literally opens with Uncle June shooting Tony. Mistakingly believing it was someone else in his alzheimer world. But Tony almost dies in the season opener. This is  more foreshadowing as he gets to live one last season before finally succumbing at the end. The last episode “Made in America” opens with Tony Soprano in bed asleep in a very coffin like position with funeral organ music playing in the background. The cat. The cat that Tony finds in the safehouse that Paulie starts to th...
