@Harriedharriet, poor Mrs Bennet is only in her mid/late 30s! She might very well not be menopausal (though I agree she's written as if she is).
I want Richard Gilmore, please. Yes, Lorelei is spoilt and a crap mother (and Lane's much-pilloried mum is actually much, much better on the whole). But Richard is really, truly shit. He gets away with murder because of the kindly old grandfather thing, but actually, when he shows his true colours, he's horrible. He loses his temper when he's actually challenged and he won't back down. And it's Emily who's made to look like the baddie.
I find Sam from TWW irritating, especially when he's being Highly Idealistic And Incidentally Really Sexist. Very Sorkin.
Melody's mum on Ceebeebees. Ugh.
I agree about CJ on TWW. She's great but Sorkin does pile a lot of shit on her. Although, why is TWW homophobic? I don't think it is especially. One of my favourite bits is the storyline where some reporter thinks CJ might be a lesbian, and she spends a fair while working out how to 'emphatically deny something she has no problem with it, while publicly stating it is a private matter'. Then she decides fuck it, it's not relevant. I liked that bit, it would have been so easy to make her point out she's straight rather than saying it was no one's business.
