Longest titles ever

[gwaevalarin]

I was just cutting out the the ads of the Gilmore Girls episodes I have on my DVD recorder - yeah, I know, I should be learning since I have an exam tonight, the one that got canceled last week because of the storm, and not try to organise the stuff on my hard drive but I needed a break. Anyway I was editing the titles as well since titles like "2007/23/01 20:00 Ch:07" are not really helpful as long as you don't know by heart was was on channel 7 on the 23rd January at 8p.m. Not that I'm complaining. At least this code of numbers and letters does have a meaning.
Anyway, to edit the title I get this little keyboard on my screen and I can move from one letter to another with the arrow keys on my remote control so it takes forever to type a word.

And that's when you realize that Gilmore Girls has probably the longest episode titles in the world. Didn't anyone tell them that they are supoosed to be titles and not episode summaries.
"The episode where Lorelai drinks a lot of coffee, gets in a huge fight with her mother and Rory is distressed because she got an A-" is not a titel, people. Seriously.
I love the show but can you please think about getting titles that consist of one word or something? My right thump which had to do all the arrow key pushin would be very grateful.

So, I guess I'm going to concentrate on neologism, reported speech and "wegen" used with dative in modern day german again.

That is a title? You’re right, it does sound like a full summary. Very weird. BTW, never seen that show… What’s it like?

That is a title?

What? "The episode where Lorelai drinks a lot of coffee, gets in a huge fight with her mother and Rory is distressed because she got an A-"? *lol* No, I made that one up.
But there are titles like:
"That's What You Get, Folks, For Makin' Whoopee" or "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels"

The show is great. I started watching it because of Jared Padalecki (who plays one of the main charakters on "Supernatural") but I soon fell in love with the show. It's funny, it has all these quirky but very amiable characters and lots and lots of pop culture references and quote-worthy lines.

He-he, still pretty long. The one you made up does fit the picture! ;) Maybe if it airs here… I’m still waiting for Supernatural but our TV has a sudden burst of patriotism so it shows mostly Russian series which are so extremely boring, and stupid, and very similar to each other.

They should really air Supernatural in Russia so you can finally watch it.

Oh yeah, long titles... *giggles* Like - Children shouldn't play with dead things? *g*

Good luck for your exam tonight! *daumendrück*

Oh und netter Icon! :)

Supernatural is allowed to do that, because... it's Supernatural.

Good luck for your exam tonight! *daumendrück*
Thank you.

Oh und netter Icon! :)
I know. *g*

why don't you just name them show - season#ep#? Like, GG - 503. Saves a lot of time ;)

[gwaevalarin.livejournal.com]

I could but when I name them "5.03 Title" I know what episode it is exactly and save a lot of time whenever searching for a particular episode. ;)

Wow, I didn't know that some of the original titles are THAT long! o.O

[gwaevalarin.livejournal.com]

I'm overstating it a little. They're actually not THAT long but they are long.

Yeah, I know - I read it in the other comments, but "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" isn't that much shorter than "The episode where Lorelai drinks a lot of coffee, gets in a huge fight with her mother and Rory is distressed because she got an A-", isn't it? *gg*
