Gilmore Girls - Season 3 (2002 Amy Sherman-Palladino)

Loved the moment when Rory pulls the horrible Francie (Emily Bergl) into the wash room and reverses the intimidating speech she's been given herself - withdrawing herself from role of mediator, which is her normal mode - it's the most gutsy thing we've seen her do. And she does this of course because Paris is now her friend, even though she's incredibly irritating - Rory always finds the good in everyone. Whether this bold move will bite back at her is another matter...

And Richard's incredibly annoying mother - who can even silence Emily - is back. She's Marion Ross, Richie Cunningham's mum from Happy Days

One of the highlights is Adam Brody's speech to Mrs Kim, Emily Kuroda, and she finally relents to let him see her daughter. Another is the flashback episode, young Lorelai on her own in hospital about to give birth, the German version of '99 Red Balloons' on the soundtrack ... somehow a powerful mix.

And love the fact that it's Paris's maid's family who comes to the Graduation - she can speak Portuguese fluently to them all, of course.
