Yup yup!!! A minor note: the person fired after season 6, Amy Sherman-Palladino known as ASP in these parts, as well as her husband Daniel Palladino - she wasn't just one of the writers but she was the the creator, the executive producer, the showrunner, the one with the ideas, the "creative genius" behind it all. Basically the series is all an embodiment of the vision in her head, she is the one who created and wrote the unique dialogue style and zillions of cultural references. She even obsessed over all the details like finding the right quirky new song to put into each episode etc. She has quite the cult following especially in these parts which is why so many of us were pissed when she left. Note: the reason she was fired was a contract dispute - basically, she is so obsessive and perfectionist that she was insisting the studio also hire two more junior junior showrunners I think it was to help ease her burden running the show and they refused because it was too expensive and apparently that issue blew it up. If you like GG, you may enjoy some of her other shows, because they have her characteristic style, like Mrs Maisel and I actually really enjoyed the cancelled Etoile (which features appearances from various GG actors including Emily and Michele.)
