tenderbait replied to your quote: Look, I’m not going to get into a pissing match…

I only saw the first episode but I thought it was on the east coast, Paradise a sleepy coastal town. I live in NorCal and only a 20 minute drive “up the hill” as it’s called to a very small small town called Paradise, definitely not SoCal.

Sorry to not have responded sooner. I could very much be wrong about the part of California - I have been to California but am hardly a California expert - but it’s clear from later episodes that it’s in California, though it seems like it’s not the actual place Paradise, CA. I can see how that wouldn’t be obvious from the pilot though. 

I mean, either way, my point was that Gilmore Girls was set on the east coast, and the most important non-Gilmore character was a woman of colour.

"Look, I’m not going to get into a pissing match with Shonda Rhimes because she has like 15,000 shows on the air, she’s doing just fine for herself. I don’t know what’s in Shonda’s heart. I’ve never met her before. Let me put it this way: I wouldn’t go after another woman. Frankly, I wouldn’t go after another showrunner. It is so hard to get a show on the air."

‘Bunheads’ Co-Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino: Q&A - Deadline.com

Ugh, look, whatever, ASP, I like Bunheads, I loved Gilmores, but I don’t understand how you can have a show that’s set in Southern California that’s less ethnically diverse than your long-running show set in small-town Connecticut, and I feel like that’s a valid concern that you should care about. Don’t use your feminism as a shield against valid critiques other women might raise against your show.
