I don't know if this even makes sense but I like how much Gilmore Girls talks about mundane everyday things that people DIY. People in Stars Hollow do their own work on their houses and many of the characters are handy. Gypsy works on cars for a living and Dean built a car from parts. Lorelei sews everything herself. Sookie and Jackson cook and garden.

It just seems like modern shows focus so much on the plot being humorous or dramatic that they don't dedicate dialogue to the "in between" everyday skills and hobbies people take up.
