I agree that she is an amazing writer and she and her husband are chiefly responsible for the success of the Gilmore girls. I knew she was jewish, so maybe I caught on to a few things others missed - for example, there are jewish characters on the show. there's a town rabbi, actually, and multiple references to judaism and jewish cultural icons (challah, bar mitzvah, etc). There's also a poster of Israel on the wall of Rory's bedroom.
anyways - there are plenty of jews in show business, but amy sherman-palladino has really broken the mold, by all accounts a unique and free-thinking individual. I hope she goes on to do other shows - she's too talented to languish.
