Stumbling Ballerinas

This is it, guys. The final episode. We did it. It only took us 3.5 years to get through 18 episodes. Thank you for sticking with us through the 6 month gaps between episodes and the episodes where we got so engrossed in the story that we barely spoke. We had a lot of fun and we hope you did too!

Three months in a row! Like I've always told you, you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything (points for knowing the quote). In this episode we talk about how it's about time that the incomparable Amy Sherman-Palladino finally got the Emmy recognition that she deserves! We also discuss It's Not A Mint and lament all of the amazing stories they were setting up that we'll never get to see.

You guys. It only took a month. We made a plan and stuck to it. We know, we're shocked, too. In this episode we spend a lot of time actually discussing There's Nothing Worse Than A Pantsuit. Something new and different for us.

It took 6 months but we're back! In this episode we discuss Warren Buffett's position on the world's richest people list, Megan 1's extensive Friends knowledge (which some find odd, but she thinks is perfectly normal thank you very much), cat genitalia, and at some point in there we also manage to watch Take the Vicuna.

Hello again! It's been a little while. We'd apologize but this seems to be pretty normal for us. In this episode we watch The Astronaut and the Ballerina. Megan 2's cat tries to attack her with a Bloody Mary, we complain about how Sutton and Hunter Foster have too much talent for one family, and discuss how wonderful it is that ASP is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Better late than never! As always you can contact us through Facebook (Stumbling Ballerinas), Twitter (@drunkballet), tumblr (stumblingballerinas), or gmail (stumblingballerinas@gmail.com).

Welcome to this very special episode where we chat with Kaitlyn Jenkins, the lovely actress who portrayed our beloved Boo. She tells us about what it was like to work with Amy Sherman-Palladino and Sutton Foster, explained the insane audition process, and gave us an update on what she's been doing since Bunheads ended. She even gave us an exciting update on fan favorite Matisse! It was a really pleasant chat and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Welcome to "I'll Be Your Meyer Lansky." In this episode we discuss how odd it is that Boo doesn't appear, how much we miss her, and how mad we are at ABC Family for cancelling such a fabulous show when it was hitting its stride. We also experience some technical difficulty mid-episode but it turned out okay (we think).

You guys. We did it. We finally recorded "Channing Tatum is a Fine Actor." And it's not our best. Maybe Channing Tatum is our kryptonite. At least it's a form of kryptonite that's nice to look at. We'll do better next time, pinky swear.

This time we try something new and discuss the pilot of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Our format was a bit different, so let us know what you think. If this show gets picked up we'll need tips about how best to proceed, and you can listen to us work through the possibilities in the episode.

It hasn't been too long, has it? In this episode we discussed the inimitable Mary Tyler Moore (RIP) and how she shaped the Megans' tastes in television heroines, how Emily-like Fanny is in this episode, and we spend an insane amount of time debating the past shows of Michael Deluise's brother.

Shhh not so loud. Some of us are still recovering. We were joined by Christine and Tamar from The Shipping Room and we all drank a little more than we should have. In this episode we show Tamar just how crazy OG Gilmore Girls fans can be, we contemplate how many dogs is too many (8 rottweilers?!), and Megan 1 finds an ally in Christine for her fight against ASP's weird obsession with Clara (No one over the age of 10 is fighting for that role!). Our format was a little different so this episode is much longer than normal. We also experienced some technical difficulties with the sound quality but Megan 2 did a phenomenal job fixing it. There are still a few issues here and there throughout, but trust us when we say that it could be much worse. I think it's safe to say with the hangovers some of us experienced that we did just fine picking out references.

You guys, it really happened. Gilmore Girls is back in our lives. We recorded a special episode discussing our feelings. Spoiler alert, we all loved it. So if you didn't love it, maybe skip this installment. We go over the Bunheads characters who pop up throughout the four seasons, rate each episode, and at one point Elizabeth and Megan 1 embrace their inner Nerdist. This time, instead of missed references, if you think we missed any characters or cameos, please let us know and we'll do shots. Come back next time for "A Nutcracker in Paradise" with special guests, The Shipping Room!

We have to keep you on your toes, so we're updating relatively quickly this time. This episode is pretty long, mainly because we had to discuss the Megans' trip to EW Pop Fest, Elizabeth's trip to the Gilmore Girls Fan Fest, and Eileen's experience at the Luke's pop-up in Houston. And at some point in there we also managed to watch an episode of Bunheads. Come back next time for "A Nutcracker in Paradise" with special guests, The Shipping Room! As always, please let us know if you think we missed any references and we'll do penalty shots next time. You can contact us through Facebook (Stumbling Ballerinas), Twitter (@drunkballet), tumblr (stumblingballerinas), or gmail (stumblingballerinas@gmail.com).

It took 6 months, but we're back! This episode is a little longer as we catch up on the past 6 months and discuss all of the Gilmore Girls related events taking place as we get ready for the revival. We also come to the realization that the reason we all dislike this episode is because of one 5 minute scene. Catch us next time for "No One Takes Khaleesi's Dragons." As always, please let us know if you think we missed any references and we'll do penalty shots next time. You can contact us through Facebook (Stumbling Ballerinas), Twitter (@drunkballet), tumblr (stumblingballerinas), or gmail (stumblingballerinas@gmail.com).

I'd apologize for the delay, but by now you know we have no schedule. Think of new episodes as a nice surprise! The episode volume is a little low, so we do apologize for any moments where it sounds like silence. We were a little off our game and not as chatty this time around. In this episode we spend a lot of time trying to talk over CatSutton as she enjoys herself a little too close to the microphone and make a startling discovery about the actor who plays Charlie. As always, please let us know if you think we missed any references and we'll do penalty shots next time. You can contact us through Facebook (Stumbling Ballerinas), Twitter (@drunkballet), tumblr (stumblingballerinas), or gmail (stumblingballerinas@gmail.com).

Check us out, posting a new episode in a somewhat timely manner. It probably helps that this episode is a group favorite and we were anxious to get to it. In this episode we discuss our love of Truly (and Stacy Oristano), the wonder that is the Cupcake ATM, and Megan 2 shares a story about being scolded by Parker Posey at the taping of the Return of Jezebel James pilot. As always, please let us know if you think we missed any references and we'll do penalty shots next time.

Apologies yet again. We originally recorded this episode at the end of February but there were insane technical issues. It's comical just how many things went wrong with the recording and then the attempted editing. So we figured it was easier to just re-record but scheduling was an issue. I'd like to say we'll have a set schedule in the future but I'm sure that would be a lie. This episode includes discussions of Grant-Lee Phillips, the hotness level of Godot, and the recent Bunheads-related Gilmore Girls revival news. As always, let us know if you think we missed a reference and enjoy!

Right off the bat, we apologize for the 4 month delay in this episode. Life got in the way of the planned recording back in October and then the holidays made scheduling a big issue. Luckily the Gilmore Girls revival came along to perk us all back up again! In this episode, we discuss pretty much anything we can think of as half of us get really drunk, and the other half try to reign them back in. While I doubt it was an issue with this one, let us know if we miss any references and we'll do our penalty drinks with our next episode, "Money for Nothing." Contact us through Facebook (Stumbling Ballerinas), Twitter (@drunkballet), tumblr (stumblingballerinas), or gmail (stumblingballerinas@gmail.com).

In this episode, we discuss clocks, Saved by the Bell: The College Years, Friends, and we try to figure out who Megan 2 is thinking of when she confuses Alan Alda with an actor from Taxi. Sorry for the delay on this post, there were some technical difficulties with the recording so editing took a little longer than normal. As always, let us know if we miss any references and we'll do our penalty drinks with our next episode, "Better Luck Next Year," posting on October 19!

Welcome! Stumbling Ballerinas is a podcast about the gone-too-soon ABC Family show Bunheads! We're four friends who met at the Gilmore Girls reunion at the ATX Television Festival and decided to start a podcast about our other favorite Amy Sherman-Palladino creation! In this podcast we'll watch each episode while playing a little drinking game. For every Gilmore Girls actor or Amy Sherman-Palladino signature moment we take a drink of our chosen beverage. As the episodes go on we'll hopefully be nice and buzzed to provide some amusing commentary. Of course being buzzed means we might miss some moments. If we do feel free to contact us here, on Facebook (Stumbling Ballerinas), Twitter (@drunkballet), Tumblr (stumblingballerinas, or email (stumbling ballerinas@gmail.com). While we work on upcoming episodes, here's our introduction so you can learn a little about each of us! If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element

In this episode we watch the pilot episode and discuss dancing shoes, clowns, the perfection of Kelly Bishop, plus much more! Let us know if we missed any references at stumblingballerinas@gmail.com, @drunkballet on Twitter, Stumbling Ballerinas on Facebook, or stumblingballerinas on tumblr. If you think we don't sound drunk enough it's because we're not. But that all changes in the next episode, For Fanny, so be sure to check back!

In this episode we watch "For Fanny" and discuss the brilliance of Kelly Bishop (which we suspect will be a recurring theme), Sutton Foster's ability to look perfect in a simple sweater, and why pre-gaming will be important for our podcast going forward. As always, let us know if we missed any references at stumblingballerinas@gmail.com, @drunkballet on Twitter, Stumbling Ballerinas on Facebook, or stumblingballerinas on tumblr. Join us for the next episode, "Inherit the Wind," on October 5th! If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element
