This show is exactly like gilmore girls. the mom from gilmore girls is even cast in bunheads. To be fair, i dislike gilmore girls after a few seasons because I thought both girls were terrible human beings and michelle from bunheads is also extremely unlikable. Emily Gilmore (kelly bishop)was the most interesting character on Gilmore girls and she was not as interesting in bunheads. The banter in bunheads is frustrating especially because it is exactly like gilmore girls and because they're just trying too hard to be kooky and eccentric. You can only tolerate this kind of banter from people you like and Michelle is unlikable. The show is very wholesome and i feel like pre-adolescent girls may like it but the main character is not a good role model for them as she is extremely self absorbed.
