“It is always (RED) tea time”

A curiosity of the TV series lies in the titles of the episodes, in fact up to the eighth of the sixth season, the word “red” or other terms that refer to color (such as “blood”, “crimson” or “cherry”) always appear. This is a clear reference to the name of serial killer Red John, who, while not appearing in all the episodes, is regularly involved in the psychological life of the protagonist. In the Italian version, the word “red” is always put in the titles, even when in the original title are found other words.

“mom is always Mom”

Still one of the best.

Through The Mirror

“Mum” is, according to statistics, the most common word in the world, the first word that children pronounce, sometimes replaced by “poop”, and more rarely “daddy”. It is, if you are lucky like me, the person who will always stand by you, the one that does not matter how many times you will fall she will always put you back on your feet, she will cook for you the best foods and admonish you without ever getting really angry. The one that even if you are thirty, rolls the covers if you’re sick, the one that buy you a gift from time to time and never ask for anything back, she will give you herself.

I repeat, we must be lucky!
Because  I have seen around a lot of dysfunctional mothers, from the mother-friend who grows up her daughter as a kind of younger sister and creates a very…

“La mamma è sempre la Mamma”

Adoro questa sitcom, continuo a trovarla divertente e originale. Ha saputo reinventarsi cambiando alcuni personaggi, centralizzandone altri. La consiglio!!!

Through The Mirror

“Mamma” è, secondo le statistiche, la parola più diffusa al mondo, la prima che pronunciano i bambini, sostituita qualche volta da “cacca”, “pappa” e più raramente “papà”.
È, se siete fortunati come me, la persona che ti starà sempre accanto, quella che non importa quante volte cadrai lei ti rimetterà in piedi, ti cucinerà i cibi più buoni e ti rimprovererà senza mai arrabbiarsi sul serio.
Quella che anche se hai trent’anni ti rimbocca le coperte se stai male, ti compra un regalino di tanto in tanto e senza mai chiedere niente indietro, ti donerà se stessa.

Ripeto, bisogna essere fortunati!
Perché di madri disfunzionali ne ho viste in giro a iosa, dalla mamma-amica che cresce la figlia come una specie di sorella minore e le crea della confusione non indifferente sul significato di “no!”; alla mamma – cool, che si veste alla moda e sgrida la figlia…

” To Luke’s, for Hamburger & Coffee”

Personally, I grew up with this show, when it came out in 2002 I was sixteen … now I’m thirty … it’s easy to understand that now Lorelai, Rory, Luke, Sookie and the rest of the country, are part of my life, my family! So, I must admit , every time it is on tv, I find myself rewatching it, so much so that I could recite line by line some of the episodes.
And every time I watch an episode I get very hungry!!!

Through The Mirror

Is there any of you that never heard this theme? I can’t believe it, it’s impossible!
Willy-nilly it happened to everyone of us to listen to it and maybe even humming it, since on TV they give the replicas of “Gilmore Girls” one day in one day out!
Whether it is summer or winter, with rain, snow or the sun, it is in the schedules! A guarantee equal only to “Murders she wrote” and, despite this, every time it succeeds to make a share to envy the news around, despite we know all the jokes by heart we continue to watch the show, cause Stars Hollow is always a second home, you can’t avoid to fall in love with Jess[1](or Dean, or Chris, or Luke, or Logan, depends on your #ship) and remain glued to listen to the fast dialogues of the protagonists. Impossible to resist the…
