...Sherman-Palladino wrote earlier for Roseanne, which shares Gilmore's honest, flaws-and-all mother-daughter relationship. And Roseanne's John Goodman stars in Normal, Ohio, which echoes its predecessor's discordant small-town setting, if not nearly as well. Creators Bonnie and Terry Turner (That '70s Show) conceived it as a buddy comedy between a gay and a straight man (The Odd Couple without the subtext) but retooled it; now the gay Butch (Goodman) returns to his small town to reconcile with his unaccepting parents and his grown son. Terry Turner says the creators wanted to base the show...
...When Amy Sherman-Palladino wrote Gilmore Girls, on the other hand, she "never set out to create an 'alternative' family"; she envisioned "a mother-daughter relationship where they were more pals than mother and daughter." In this sweet, clever hour-long comedy, 32-year-old single mom Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) raises 16-year-old daughter--you do the math--Rory (Alexis Bledel), who's more reserved and adult than Mom; Lorelai wears Daisy Duke cutoffs to Rory's first day in private school and jokes that she offered "to do the principal" to get her daughter accepted...

He sat solid-faced with a slightly petulant look on his face. Albright's top Korea aide, Wendy Sherman was on his right and would occasionally nod to try to emphasize important points, but there was little response.

But it proved the best vehicle for the story she wanted to tell: "a mother-daughter relationship where they were more pals than mother and daughter." In this sweet hour-long comedy, 32-year-old single mom Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) raises a 16-year-old daughter - you do the math - Rory (Alexis Bledel), who's more reserved and adult than mom. Lorelai, for instance, wears Daisy Duke cutoffs to Rory's first day in private...
...Sherman-Palladino wrote earlier for "Roseanne," and while "Gilmore"'s tone is much different, the honest, flaws-and-all mother-daughter relationship is familiar. "Roseanne" likewise has its DNA on "Normal, Ohio" (Wednesdays, 8:30 p.m. ET, starting Nov. 1) - starring "Roseanne"'s John Goodman - which echoes that show's discordant small-town setting, if not nearly as well. Creators Bonnie and Terry Turner ("That '70s Show") conceived it as a buddy comedy between a gay and a straight man ("The Odd Couple" without the subtext) but retooled it; now the gay Butch (Goodman) returns to his small town...
