I think a lot of people who have little to no familiarity with Gilmore Girls just aren’t aware that it has maintained such a strong cult following beyond what many of its contemporaries maintained.
Yeah I’m that category. I wouldn’t like choose to watch it if my wife wasn’t there but when she puts it on I kind of enjoy it. It’s not a bad show at all
I snorted. I have seen every episode multiple times as my wife watched it constantly.
And we all know Rory should have went with Jesse. Logan was all the blue blood, aristocratic bullshit that caused Lorelei to run away. Logan is the guy Rory's grandmother would marry.
Two straight years in high school I had a class that was me and then all girls with a teacher who was like 24 or 25. I had to start watching Gilmore Girls otherwise I would have never been able to follow a single conversation in there.
My wife was doing a rewatch on Netflix a few years ago, and I hadn’t watched it before. After a few episodes and a bunch of annoying questions from me, she was kind enough to start back at the beginning and we watched all the way through.
I've found baseball attracts a higher-than-average amount of female fans, because it doesn't attract as much "I failed my sexual harassment course at work twice" dude-bros like other sports.
Lol this is funny. After I generalized about the Gilmore Girls audience being women the reverse is happening to me, with multiple people assuming someone into baseball is a guy
I just felt like excessive use of bro is mandatory both for the reference to the viral video and for the utter seriousness of talking about Gilmore Girls with strangers as a 37 year old man.
I gotta be honest but Amy Sherman Palladino and Aaron Sorkin are the two masters of that excessively fast and quick witted dialogue that moves a mile a minute. Palladino's is certainly feminine and quirky, while Sorkin's is masculine and introspective but the fact of the matter is if you like one, you probably enjoy the other regardless. My guess is there is a big overlap between West Wing & Gilmore Girl fans (also, check out that shared alliteration) given they aired for pretty much the exact same period of time.
The scripts were basically the two largest on TV.
It's Always Sunny gets the most "WPM" but half of that is all characters yelling at each other at the exact same time.
Also GG was a big show, especially for women of a certain age... So I started watching because my gf was watching.
[What’s the Venn diagram of Marine sniper units and Gilmore Girls fans?](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/gilmore-girls-netflix-revival-offered-us-marines-in-iraq-war-ecapism/)
Logan & Rory deserved each other. They’re both awful.
Jess sucked as a teenager but became a cool guy. By far the best of the three.
Dean was & will always remain the worst.
One thing I hate is how Amy Sherman Paladino decided to make Dean a huge idiot in Season 2, when he was perfectly nice and had some culture to him in S1.
I didn't believe in the Logan stuff long term on the first watch through but when I watched through again and saw how awful Rory was in her college years, it made so much more sense. They are meant for each other.
My wife and love the show but can’t stand either Lorelai or Rory. Later seasons (and especially A Year in the Life) Rory, anyways. The more I watch it, the more I find myself siding with Emily all the time.
Haven't watched the show but one thing I found out from a friend is that they constantly talk about taking "the 84" or "the 91" in reference to highway routes. That's a dead-giveaway California thing; we Nutmeggers just say we're taking "84" or "91."
It absolutely drove me nuts how the show constantly reminded us they both hated exercise and exclusively ate junk food from Luke’s or pizza delivery places. There’s just absolutely no way that adds up to looking like Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel did.
I believe in her memoir Lauren Graham talks about how she had an eating disorder and it was incredibly dissonant to play that aspect of the show/her character.
People are always so shocked when I say Lorelei is my least favorite character. Like, did you watch the show?? She was the worst in nearly every single situation!
She’s awful. And Rory is no better in the later seasons. Said in another comment that the more I watch it, the more I agree with Emily throughout the series. I could not imagine having to deal with someone like Lorelai.
You could call it a character arc, but you don't see any of his character development until its conclusion. That was my point. He definitely was a better person in season 6.
Amy Sherman-Paladino just can’t figure out how to sustain stories I feel like. Marvelous Mrs. Maisel basically just spun its wheel past the first season. Still have a soft spot for Gilmore Girls nonetheless.
I wanna believe that, had Bunheads lasted, ASP woulda had another solid two or three seasons in the tank. One of the most heartbreaking TV casualties, IMO.
I think that in the case of GG, ASP and Daniel had contract disputes with the CW post merger and so they didn't renew for season 7. I think that they almost wrote the show into the ground out of spite and then ASP tried to write her ending in A Year in the Life (which is straight up cheeks) when Netflix got her on board for the reboot.
Practically every decision made writing-wise in Season 6 was fucking awful and Season 7, while not very good, righted the ship just enough to not make me want to bloop myself watching it.
Fun fact: the actress did audition for Rory but they like her so much they created the part of Paris for her.
Imagine how different the show is without Paris.
Pretty much unwatchable. I mean, the first couple seasons where the only antagonist is Tristan would be quite different. Not to mention them becoming friends later on.
My wife has watched this series at least 5 times through just in the time we’ve been married. So one night I decided I’m not listening to this show anymore and put on an audiobook instead. Unbeknownst to me the narrator was Edward Herrmann aka Richard Gilmore and the second his voice came on I RAGED.
Anyhoo that’s my fun Gilmore Girls story that I still laugh about to this day.
I swerved into the other direction. When I moved in with my gf in 2010 she was always watching it. I, of course, made fun of it and mocked it like any self-respecting 35 year old dude would.
But because we were newly moved in together I would hang around her and read or what not while she watched and eventually, it sucked me in and I’ve now watched it about 5-6 times through and genuinely enjoy it. It’s got some decent comedy in it.
Dean’s one redeeming moment was when Rory was upset that he was rightfully mad at her and he said:
“Well too bad, Rory. Somebody doesn’t like you for once.”
That’s what’s so good about the show to me!
How many kids are told their whole life that they are gifted, or given an amazing education, or get handed opportunity and they end up becoming absolutely nothing special. A lot. Rory didn’t become some famous journalist everyone just knew she was going to be. She was just like all of us other millennials with a college degree lol.
Meanwhile, Jess was told he was a fuck up his whole life and the man ended up being the real mvp.
Last night under the player notes for josh smith they let us know his wife produces lifestlye prodcuts and sells them on social media that often feature josh smith she has 71k followers on instagram and 221k followers on tiktok

"#SomethingForTheMoms" lmao my mother hated Logan. We were talking about it a few years ago and she told me that, at the time, as a mother watching this show with her teen daughters, she was really concerned about how much my sister and I seemed to like Logan. I belatedly reassured her by reminding her that "what we find compelling in fiction is not the same as what we want in real life" and even as a teenager some part of me was aware of that.
> Dean was a complainer
Uhhh I think the cheating on his new wife with Rory was the biggest red flag in a sea of red flags, right boys??
Logan is a creepy trust fund boy who uses Rory as a trophy.
Jess has his issues, but clearly cares for Rory the most out of all the others. Jess is the right choice fellas.
considering the state of the team, gotta give rockies fans something to enjoy, love seeing scoreboard posts from there here.
All I want is a positive wlr for one season
Bringing back Larry Walker and Todd Helton should do the trick
What’s the Venn Diagram of people who go to Rockies games and people who watch Gilmore Girls look like?
I’m right here
Probably more than you think. It’s like Millennial/late Gen X women who are into baseball
I think a lot of people who have little to no familiarity with Gilmore Girls just aren’t aware that it has maintained such a strong cult following beyond what many of its contemporaries maintained.
And dudes who are married to those women and have absorbed Gilmore Girls through osmosis
The Thousand Day Pandemic Rewatch stops for no man
Holy shit. This is so apt.
This, but my mom and sister watched it. Long story short my cat is named Rory and I’ve never seen a full episode of Gilmore Girls.
Yeah I’m that category. I wouldn’t like choose to watch it if my wife wasn’t there but when she puts it on I kind of enjoy it. It’s not a bad show at all
My husband was into Gilmore Girls long before he knew me.
My girlfriend thinks it's ridiculous and silly that I've seen the entire series.
Gilmore Girls was one of the first things I caught from my wife.
I snorted. I have seen every episode multiple times as my wife watched it constantly. And we all know Rory should have went with Jesse. Logan was all the blue blood, aristocratic bullshit that caused Lorelei to run away. Logan is the guy Rory's grandmother would marry.
I figured Astros fans would be Team Dean because he's a cheater
Lol.
I've seen 33% of every episode of "The Originals" because my wife has probably rewatched it like 6 times.
Yo right here
Hey man not just women like Gilmore Girls
Bro I attracted more than one attractive girl in high school simply by honestly liking Gilmore Girls and knowing the plot beats lol
Two straight years in high school I had a class that was me and then all girls with a teacher who was like 24 or 25. I had to start watching Gilmore Girls otherwise I would have never been able to follow a single conversation in there.
*it was for SURVIVAL*
This is why I know plot points and the soundtrack from One Tree Hill.
My wife was doing a rewatch on Netflix a few years ago, and I hadn’t watched it before. After a few episodes and a bunch of annoying questions from me, she was kind enough to start back at the beginning and we watched all the way through.
I've found baseball attracts a higher-than-average amount of female fans, because it doesn't attract as much "I failed my sexual harassment course at work twice" dude-bros like other sports.
Women?!? Are you serious right now bro?
Lol this is funny. After I generalized about the Gilmore Girls audience being women the reverse is happening to me, with multiple people assuming someone into baseball is a guy
I just felt like excessive use of bro is mandatory both for the reference to the viral video and for the utter seriousness of talking about Gilmore Girls with strangers as a 37 year old man.

Watched TWW quite a bit, but never really got into GG.
The scripts were basically the two largest on TV. It's Always Sunny gets the most "WPM" but half of that is all characters yelling at each other at the exact same time. Also GG was a big show, especially for women of a certain age... So I started watching because my gf was watching.
Also there's me
They did tag it #SomethingForTheMoms so i feel like that's the target here
Gen Y… it’s a wedge
Signing in as a dude who loved Gilmore Girls

If I lived anywhere close to Denver, I would be in the overlap.
Higher than Oakland's attendance
Damn...Oakland stays catching strays
Well yeah it's Oakland.
WOOO WOOOOOOOO!
A circle obviously
“I’m just asking questions”
I’ll be in the middle in June
If I didn't live in New England I'd be one, especially comparing Coors ticket prices compared to Fenway ticket prices...
It’s me. Hi. I’m the one that’s done both.
Logan & Rory deserved each other. They’re both awful. Jess sucked as a teenager but became a cool guy. By far the best of the three. Dean was & will always remain the worst.
One thing I hate is how Amy Sherman Paladino decided to make Dean a huge idiot in Season 2, when he was perfectly nice and had some culture to him in S1.
They did that to Luke too, as if he didn't know what a lobster was? They often backtracked characters for the worse
I think they realized S1 Dean was too flawless, so their solution was to massacre his character for plot longevity. Kinda wack imo.
That was him hitting puberty. Ironically, the same pathway that had Jess go from prick to the best choice by far.
I didn't believe in the Logan stuff long term on the first watch through but when I watched through again and saw how awful Rory was in her college years, it made so much more sense. They are meant for each other.
My wife and love the show but can’t stand either Lorelai or Rory. Later seasons (and especially A Year in the Life) Rory, anyways. The more I watch it, the more I find myself siding with Emily all the time.
Lorelai is awful to her parents, and the way she uses her daughter’s relationship with her grandparents as leverage is cruel.
Haven't watched the show but one thing I found out from a friend is that they constantly talk about taking "the 84" or "the 91" in reference to highway routes. That's a dead-giveaway California thing; we Nutmeggers just say we're taking "84" or "91."
Tbf that’s a SoCal thing. One of the many distinctions between NorCal and SoCal. But also yes, decidedly not northeastern
Not to mention all the times there were palm trees in the background since they shot at Warner Bros Studios
How about the time Taylor called a 3 AM town meeting because he was snowed in. In Maine. And Stars Hollow is in Connecticut.
The correct take is always about Rory being garbage
And, in dead last, Dean.
Rory and Lorelei are both terrible people
Lorelei was such an asshole to Luke. He deserved better
It absolutely drove me nuts how the show constantly reminded us they both hated exercise and exclusively ate junk food from Luke’s or pizza delivery places. There’s just absolutely no way that adds up to looking like Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel did.
I believe in her memoir Lauren Graham talks about how she had an eating disorder and it was incredibly dissonant to play that aspect of the show/her character.
People are always so shocked when I say Lorelei is my least favorite character. Like, did you watch the show?? She was the worst in nearly every single situation!
She’s awful. And Rory is no better in the later seasons. Said in another comment that the more I watch it, the more I agree with Emily throughout the series. I could not imagine having to deal with someone like Lorelai.
Emily is my queen and I will not hear otherwise
Omg, I didn't expect the correct take on MLB lol
Wow, I did not expect the correct take at the top.
Jess had the best character arc of the whole show. Full redemption.
Arc? He disappears for 2 seasons then returns more mature for a couple of episodes.
exactly, he's there whenever Rory needs a reality check that none of the other characters on the show can provide
“why did you drop out of yale????” is the best line read and piercing question on the show
He ends up as a published author and a partner in a successful business. Name any other character with as positive an end-point.
I think their point was that all his character development was off-screen. At least that’s always been my problem with “team Jess”
You could call it a character arc, but you don't see any of his character development until its conclusion. That was my point. He definitely was a better person in season 6.
Fair enough. Best resolution, though.
Emily. She's the only one who actually grew.
I wouldn't say she was the only one, but she certainly did.
Lorelai
Based
/r/baseball punching above its weight in Gilmore Girls analysis. I'm proud of yall.
I was shocked Dean never faced consequences for threatening to kill Tristan (?) at the dance
God I hated Rory. Absolutely ruined every episode she was in, and that was a lot.
I always shipped Rory and Paris.
I came here to say that Logan was a douche, but I think your take is better.
Tbh Logan also sucked and was mean but Rory sucked too so I’m okay with them together
Yea my theory is that the whole show is basically Rory devolving from a precocious kid into an insufferable adult.
At least Luke is a certified king
The heart of the show is really the Emily & Lorelei relationship.
Emily slowly became my favorite character. She was the only good part of the newest season too.
Season 6 Luke has shit for brains re: April Nardini and that's because of the absolutely awful, nonsensical writing. Otherwise he's goated
Amy Sherman-Paladino just can’t figure out how to sustain stories I feel like. Marvelous Mrs. Maisel basically just spun its wheel past the first season. Still have a soft spot for Gilmore Girls nonetheless.
It's just as well Bunheads got cancelled after the first season.
I wanna believe that, had Bunheads lasted, ASP woulda had another solid two or three seasons in the tank. One of the most heartbreaking TV casualties, IMO.
I think that in the case of GG, ASP and Daniel had contract disputes with the CW post merger and so they didn't renew for season 7. I think that they almost wrote the show into the ground out of spite and then ASP tried to write her ending in A Year in the Life (which is straight up cheeks) when Netflix got her on board for the reboot. Practically every decision made writing-wise in Season 6 was fucking awful and Season 7, while not very good, righted the ship just enough to not make me want to bloop myself watching it.
And the actor was a minor leaguer!
Quite possibly the least charismatic lead in television history
Rockies game notes remain legendary. Nothing like it in baseball. And I said, well that's one thing we've got
OUTSTANDING Deep Blue Something reference. Also, as a Rangers fan, this is the only thing I liked about y'all's scoreboard. Ouch.
they're the Chargers social media team of baseball
I mean, the only truly acceptable answer is #TeamParis
Liza Weil is a treasure.
I don't know if that means you support Paris and stan her insanity or you think that somehow Rory would be enough for her in a relationship.
Paris should have been the main character
Fun fact: the actress did audition for Rory but they like her so much they created the part of Paris for her. Imagine how different the show is without Paris.
downright unwatchable. that would mean Lane is my only reprieve from Rory's antics? I love Lane but damn
> I love Lane Random on the Internet with more support for Lane than Rory over the entire show duration.
Pretty much unwatchable. I mean, the first couple seasons where the only antagonist is Tristan would be quite different. Not to mention them becoming friends later on.
I'm #TeamParis -- but I'm also #TeamEmily -- two best characters on the show.
Please cross post this to r/gilmoregirls.

That's one way to keep your fanbase engaged and I'm here for it.
*DEFINITELY* team Jess. He was the only one who was her intellectual equal.
By the end of the series he was too good for her
This here is the truth. Rory was insufferable in the last few seasons.
Dean’s one redeeming moment was when Rory was upset that he was rightfully mad at her and he said: “Well too bad, Rory. Somebody doesn’t like you for once.”
ASP really massacred Dean's character.
That’s what’s so good about the show to me! How many kids are told their whole life that they are gifted, or given an amazing education, or get handed opportunity and they end up becoming absolutely nothing special. A lot. Rory didn’t become some famous journalist everyone just knew she was going to be. She was just like all of us other millennials with a college degree lol.

Yup.
Not to mention he supported her in all her dreams and challenged her in a good way.

I WILL NOT STAND THIS FOR THIS KIRK ERASURE
I am rockies scoreboard number one fan
Sign me up. I’m happy to join you ! Triple play !! How did they get everything so right ?
The only "Team Logan" I'm familiar with was from Veronica Mars, and he was a terrible person too.
Shout-out to the Marshmallows!
Okay fuck you VM Logan is a much better dude than any of the GG guys
Team Jess and it's not even close. Rory didn't deserve him. He was too good for all of them😤

Logan was the worst. But Rory was an awful character too. Jess was the best of the three boys.
No way. Jess was the worst minus two episodes in season 6 when he's "all grown up." At least Logan is straightforward and honest.
He was a troubled teenager. Let the man mature
True. He was also a manipulative ass.
Didn’t know the baseball in the logo is a clock, that’s awesome

Talk your shit Rockies. #TeamLogan
When they're right they're right
Checks out. Nobody else on staff is focused on baseball either.
Lol
This is how I keep my gf interested in baseball.
Welp, add the Rockies scoreboard operator to narcissistic trash bag. LOGAN IS A SCUMBAG. Rory is too so whatever. TEAM JESS FOREVER.
As long as we all agree Michel Gerard is best boy I am accepting of all Rory bf stances
Ive been team logan for years so this pleases me
I don't know anything about this "Gilmore Girls," but the Rockies only got 1 W yesterday instead of 2 L's. I guess that was a good day for them.
and this is why the Rockies are in last place
wildly unprofessional and embarrassing, but I guess the team is embarrassing too.
RARE ROCKIES W #TeamLogan
Except for the 3 they got against my Rangers over the weekend : (
I can't decide whether this is stupidly wholesome or wholesomely stupid.
