What a whiff of The Gilmore Girls can do

Note: Trivial Kate is entirely to blame for the FG's occasional dip into the wealthy and pristine pool that is Stars Hollow, Connecticut.*

So last week, I'm told, the secondary plot on GG involved a move to accentuate the town's history by reverting to the original street names. This caused a crisis for the denziens of the Dragonfly Inn when they realized that that would place them on Sores & Boils Alley. The crisis was, of course, resolved within the alloted 42 minutes.

And today, the residents of Greenwich, Conn., awoke to the fact that some of the 'L. L. Bean-wearing, exercise-the-dog sort, (...) where Lacoste shirts and country club memberships are a virtual birthright,' reside on Hooker Lane. This is a story in the Times, I kid you not. Coincidence?

*Incidentally, did you know:

Gilmore Girls was the first series to make it to air supported by the Family Friendly Forum's script development fund. An initiative between some of the nation's top advertisers and The WB, the program is intended to offer a greater array of compelling family programming on network television. The strong and loving mother-daughter relationship portrayed in Gilmore Girls" reflects the growing reality of this new type of American family.
