Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, the creators behind notable shows like "Gilmore Girls" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," reflect on their surprising success and dedicated fanbase. Dan attributes part of their appeal to the rapid humor and references in their work, while both highlight the importance of female characters bonding outside of romantic stories. Amy emphasizes respecting audience intelligence, avoiding condescension in writing, and the allure of their limited social media presence adds a layer of intrigue. Their recent event, attended by 3,000 fans, underscores their lasting impact on television audiences.
"I think the humor in it bears repeat viewings because it goes by fast, there are a lot of references... It's their way of sort of bonding and hanging together."
"There are female characters who bond over things other than men... We feel like audiences are so much smarter than I think a lot of people are going to give them credit for."
"There's not a lot of us out there, so it makes up sort of Garboesque, we're a little mysterious..."
