Yes, Gilmore Girls passes the test big time. They talk a lot, about lots of things. Probably that’s why I always liked this series and always hated Sex and the city.
Guess Kill Bill would pass the test as well, wouldn’t it? I’m not sure, but When Harry met Sally may pass as well.

I’ve never watched Gilmore girls, but what you say about it is encouraging. It’s not that women shouldn’t talk about men (it’s fine that they do), but that things like what you’ve pointed out – education, career, ethics, etc, are all parts of women’s lives too.
Thanks for your comments!

Gilmore Girls passes the test. They do spend alot of time talking about men, but also education, careers, ethics, etc. And the main themes, topics, characters are 3 generations of women – men are really the secondary characters on this show.
