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 episode goes on we'll hopefully be nice ...

We did it! We watched and compared Joss and Amy's other two shows. They didn't have quite as much in common as Buffy and Gilmore, but they are both about ragtag groups of people who become each other's found family, led by reluctant heroes. Also both shows feature young, thin, petite girls who can do impressive stuff with their bodies. Oh, and Mitc…

Our discussion on the conclusion to the Firefly series: "Serenity" This week we catch up with the crew of Serenity in their feature film! Fortunately, this little show was blessed with the chance to tie up some loose ends.
