When I watched the first seasons of 'Gilmore Girls' I was thrilled about the wit and personality of that show. Finally a memorable writer, I thought about Ms. Palladino back then. Now I see she can do only one thing and in a very immature way. It's so obvious and I won't insist (same atmosphere, same type of small town, same actors, same type of dialog and characters, even same type of la-la-la music!). Except that Rory is now multiplied. And what a bizarre premise: ballet in a small town. Of course Sutton Foster is not Lauren Graham, but she tries to do her best. And she would be fine if one wouldn't remember Lorelai every minute... How can so witty a writer be so childishly repetitive? The real greats don't repeat themselves, at least not literally. So I don't like 'Boneheads'.

Okay, they've taken everything annoying about Gilmore Girls and repackaged it. There's the annoying fast-talking babble that goes nowhere. There's the mindless (and wordless) ditty- humming in the background (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, SHUT UP ALREADY). The music track is the same; in fact it sounds like they took the original track from GG and just pasted it in. They've got a Lorelei Gilmore (aka Michelle Simms - and the actress looks as much as she possibly could look like Lauren Graham without actually being Lauren Graham). There've got an Emily Gilmore (aka Fanny Flowers. She actually WAS Emily Gilmore). They've even got a composite Rory (aka the Ballet Girls). A lot of the peripheral characters match up to characters in GG, too. At first I thought the guy who ran the bar in town was going to be 'Luke', but then his hippie wife came out from the kitchen and I recognized Luke's sister and brother in law. I guess you CAN go home again. At least they can. At least they think they can. What do you all think? Is this rehash working? Or should we all just go watch the original again?

The expression "wow" pretty much represents the twirl of emotions i feel when i watch Bunheads.Wow, why fake the reviews on a TV show. It's not like you have to bring people to the theatres, newsflash, if people watch something on TV and it sucks, they got a thing called remote control, one button and voilà', they're watching something else.Wow, that Bailey Buntain is smokin' hot; check out her hot bod. Big shoulders and blond hair, i could watch this show just to see her. Wow, this show is slipping rapidly. Nice pilot (i believe someone else wrote this on their review .. and i agree), but after a rapid plot twist, we're left with a girls-only show where "who wears what dress to the party" becomes enough plot material to make an episode.This show is supposed to have some great supporting characters but someone forgot that supporting characters are supposed to be an addition to the main plot line, and as it seems now the main, Stacey Oristano (Truly "Awful" Stone) quickly did a sidestep out of centre stage, and is now just standing still while other characters pivot around her doing her stuff.The Mother is essentially the main character (if we go by number of lines which, in cinema AND theatre, is generally a good indication of who is really the main character) yet it was written to be the pseudo- evil bitch who might/might not turn into a heart of gold. Ofc all we get is "whine whine whine" "i'm old and i'm a mum and i used to dance".The little girls are just not impressive as actresses; yeah OK, so it's decent for daytime TV (meaning "that which is on, but you don't *actually* have to watch it"), more or less the same acting level of Buffy or Twilight, but this show cannot in any way compare to the new shows such as Girls, Whitney (and other W.Cummings shows), Suits, etc ..I can't really watch a hour long show just to take three 10-seconds peeks at Bailey Buntain's sweet derrière; if you are like me, you would do well to avoid this and not waste your time waiting for something cool to happen.Honestly i'm not even sure what this is. Comedy? Drama? i don't know.vote reserved for now, but not really more than a boring 5/10

This whole review is a spoiler if you haven't watched the Bunheads pilot (or the Big Love finale).I hate it when writers throw up huge plot twists to challenge their characters or move the story with no thought to what the audience might enjoy. Big Love did it for most of their last season - making our favorite characters unlikable, destroying things that had been building for years and finally giving their lead a nothing death just so we could see how everyone else reacts.After just one episode, I am worried Bunheads is already on the same slippery slope. They spent most of the pilot laying the foundation for a quirky, original love story unlike anything I have seen in a quality drama, only to give their male lead a nothing death during the last 30 seconds of the show.Despite the good acting and witty dialog, I don't think I am invested enough to watch a bunch of women I've only known for one episode grieve my favorite character from the pilot. I am tired of having the rug pulled out from under me with manipulative plot twists that make an otherwise great show less enjoyable. The writers should earn an emotional reaction from their viewers, not do the creative equivalent of giving us a cute puppy just so they can take it away.
