Here we are at the final installment of the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life bonus series and it’s… Autumn. You may recall that Lorelai announced her completely uncharacteristic march into the wilderness at the end of last episode, and Rory’s decision to air her mother’s dirty laundry has put the two of them at odds. The beginning of this episode finds Lorelai about to undertake her trek into the unknown, while Rory TRIPS BALLS with the Life and Death Brigade. This episode is insane. It is poorly constructed, poorly paced, and ill-conceived, but it does have some genuinely entertaining moments, as well as the only satisfying payoff for a character in the series, as we get to see Emily achieve some measure of contentedness, which is nice. Meanwhile your hosts have an hour and 45 minutes to go off the rails rambling about whatever inanities pop into our busy little brains. And believe me, there are inanities aplenty. Please enjoy our 4th and final Wallow in Stars Hollow. Thanks for hanging in there with us. http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/CotW_121-gg4.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

The Season 2 drought is over! This week we rolled up a very special episode of Dawson’s Creek for your listening pleasure. Reunited has 2 stories being told at once and both are equally engaging. First we have Dawson and Joey in a rare moment of normal boyfriend & girlfriend dating when they run into Dawson’s dad at the same restaurant. To complicate things further, Jen and Gail wind up there as well and then the game is on to get the Leery parents back together. Meanwhile Andie is having a breakdown and talking to her dead brother which leads to a stressful moment between her, Pacey, and Jack. This sleeper episode surprised us with how good it was. Every single character was delivering exactly what we want when we tune into this show. Hope you like it as much as we did. http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/CotW_120-2x20_1.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

It’s Friday, and we are back with Installment #3 of our Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life bonus series. This one finds us in the heat of summer where the jokes are problematic, the singing is copious, and the plot is wafer-thin. Rory is back in Star’s Hollow (but she’s not back). Lorelai is fine until the last 5 minutes where she gets upset and decides to totally change her life in a fit of angst. And the rest is dedicated to musical numbers. This show is bad and it’s creators should feel bad. But OUR show is, at worst, merely mediocre, so please join us! http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/CotW_119-gg3.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

Well, it had to happen sometime. We lost an episode. We watched it, we recorded it, but when it came time to save, the data went *poof* into the ether. So unfortunately there is no Creek of the Week proper this week, instead there is a 10 minute filler up where Eric, Josh, and some friends inadequately apologize and try to provide some brief entertainment in their shame, in a spot recorded literally an hour before posting. There WILL be a Wallow In Stars Hallow this week, however. So you will get your COTW fix. And next week we will return with another great Creek episode. Technical Difficulties be damned! http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/CotW_118-Whoops.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

Episode 2 of our Gilmore Girls bonus series takes us into Spring. Fair Warning: This is not a love fest. We get pretty harsh on this episode and the series as a whole. However there are parts we love and we try to be fair despite our growing animosity towards the main characters. All that aside, it was still a fun show to watch and there were plenty of jokes and commentary to be had. Plus, some of the best Paris and Kirk material in the revival. So grab your coffee, and your pop tarts, and your red vines, and your frozen pizza, and your Chinese food, and your diner burger, and your donuts, and whatever else you can scrape out of the bottom of your garbage disposal or chip off the side of your deep freeze (that ice smells vaguely like fish sticks!) and join us for Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life: Spring. http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/CotW_117-gg2.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

As if 2016 doesn’t suck enough, we rolled Mitch Leery’s funeral episode again. It’s hard to complain because it really is a brilliant episode, and a fitting send off to one of our favorite characters, but aren’t things hard enough right now? We’ve lost Bowie and Leonard Cohen, do we have to be stuck in this horrific time loop where we watch our surrogate TV father die again and again? Are the Creek Gods punishing us for the Gilmore Girls bonus series? We may never know. At least we get to see prime John Wesley Shipp material via flashbacks of the cast, and we get to say a proper goodbye to the Father we all wish we had (JK, Dad!). Theme by Sound of Days. http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/CotW_116-5x04_2.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...
