Gilmore Girls

WHERE: Season 2, episode 16

BLAIR: That’s just what I need to perk me up. I couldn’t sleep a wink.
HAROLD AND ROMAN: We know. We heard you watching Gilmore Girls all night, again.
BLAIR: I am so a better fit for Yale than that Rory.

It’s no surprise that one of the TV shows Blair watches often, and loved very much, in Gilmore Girls. Rory and Blair have much in common – both are very stylish, intellectual, promising young women who want special things out of life, and work hard to achieve it. Plus, the series is full of witty and elegant screenwriting, something we also now Blair approves of. Anyway, a bit about the series in general (taken from Wikipedia):

Gilmore Girls is an American comedy-drama television series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and starring Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel. The show debuted on October 5, 2000, on The WB and became a flagship series for the network. Gilmore Girls originally ran for seven seasons, the final season moving to The CW, and ending its run on May 15, 2007.

The show’s main focus is on the relationship between single mother Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory, who live in Stars Hollow, Connecticut, a small fictional town filled with colorful characters. The series explores issues of family, romance, education, friendship, disappointment, and ambition, along with generational divides and social class. The latter themes manifest through Lorelai’s difficult relationship with her high society parents, Emily and Richard, and Rory’s experiences at the elite private high school Chilton and later on at Yale University. Sherman-Palladino, who served as showrunner for the majority of the series, infused Gilmore Girls with distinctive fast-paced dialogue filled with pop culture references. 

Until next time!
