Gilmore Girls— “Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ringing Out” (2005)
“We always played that Rory and Jess saw each other for what they were. That was the great thing about that relationship. She saw Jess for exactly what he was, and he really got her. So it just seemed like a natural thing [for Jess to pull Rory out of her funk] because you needed somebody to do it. It wasn’t going to be Lorelai, and it just made sense for the relationship that we had set up with them that he would get her.” —Amy Sherman-Palladino
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel— “How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall?” (2022)
“[Lenny] never looked at [Midge] like a female comic. He looked at her like a comic. What was so great about that and what you risked losing by having them hook up was that respect, that even keel partnership. I didn’t want to lose that. He saw her potential. He saw what she was. He was her guardian angel and her muse in a sense. The fact that then that’s the person who turns back on her to say you are blowing it… it was dramatically the perfect storm of events to happen to her. It doesn’t matter that he had sex with her the night before, he’s still going to turn around and say to her, ‘You are fucking blowing this.’ That is what their relationship was based on, and it’s why we love them together because he is that person to her.” —Amy Sherman-Palladino
