I always get so triggered when they never finish their food and just leaves half of it on the plate

Dean started out smart and cool but they dumbed him down when Jess showed up for more contrast.

Luke deserves so much credit, hes always there for anyone, even if he is a little grumpy doing it, he never puts himself first. He literally did everything Lorelai ever asked him to do. He is one of the top male characters ever for me.

I love that by the end of the whole thing, Emily is the best Gilmore Girl

The lip balms marketed to women won't electrocute men if they try to pick one up. If you want to smell like a toasted pancake marshmallow, live your dream.

"Single Mother working at a hotel" EXCUSE YOU, she RUNS the hotel.

Justice for Lane! She deserved to live out her rock dreams, not be stuck with two kids. :( Edit: This is really still causing arguments a whole year later- Lane and Zach were married and used protection but it was cheap and therefore didn't work, Lane took the kids in her stride, however, touring and doing proper gigs is off the table when you have two small children. Just because Lane eventually became a good mother doesn't mean she wasn't initially disappointed, and I felt as if the storyline was out of place and disappointing because it required her putting things on hold, like when she was heavily pregnant and she and Zach had to give up that tour with a popular band. Lane is allowed to be a good mother and embrace that and fans can still be unhappy with the plotline. Also, if you're anti-abortion (let's face it, you're not 'pro-life' if you don't care about the mother's life or the hundreds of children in the adoption system already that you do nothing for) I don't like you, I am pro-choice, get out of my replies, and to that JJ person using this to rant about feminists and r*pe, what the hell is wrong with you lol? I never brought that topic up, and it's weird that you thought that sensitive topic was in any way correlated with this. Anyhow, rant over, Lane deserved better.

I love how dean was smart and cool at first but when Jess came along dean completely lost it

"is that the guy from supernatural" No he's the guy from Gilmore girls

Honestly, I'm just surprised nobody in the show has died from a car accident. Everybody crosses the street without even looking and it's weird and freaky.

Rory looks so young 😭😭 I can't believe Alexis was 19 at the time

I think the reason why so many of us like Gilmore Girls, is based on a few factors: 1. The mother-daughter relationship between Lorelai and Rory. Honestly, their life together just fascinated me (and probably many others too). They were both witty and sort of even… eccentric? Their bond was unbreakable and like no other. While so many characters’ relationships with their mothers suffered (like Lane’s and Paris’s), Lorelai and Rory were true to each other. They made it through the good times and the bad, and were (almost) always there for each other. I guess many daughters wish for it to be like that with their moms too. 2. The “high school experience”. For me, personally, I loved the show for the way they portrayed the school and the school spirit. My school was pretty boring, and I just really thought that by watching movies/shows about high schools, I could get to relive a time through the screen of my TV. And let me say, it kind of worked :) 3. And finally, I think the show was such a hit because of how closely it resembled reality. Many people complain about how Rory regressed further through the show, or how Lane was supposed to “live her dream” instead of being “forced” into a marriage and having two kids, but I believe that THAT is exactly it. Life doesn’t always go to plan; we can’t always be the best at everything; going to a fancy private school and college doesn’t guarantee your success in life, and overall, life is so unpredictable. It can change in a blink of an eye. People can change in a blink of an eye - some for the better, and others for the worse. The worst thing is, that we don’t know what’s going to happen. We can be like Rory - have rich parents, be the best at everything, but still end up alone and wondering what the heck you’re doing with your life. And that is scary. That’s what makes this show so iconic, and no spin off (like Ginny and Georgia) will ever be able to replace Gilmore Girls.

"The shows were simpler, but they worked." The shows worked *because* they were simple, *NOT in spite of* being simple.

I never understood how this woman who worked at a local inn with less than 20 rooms was able to afford to eat out that much all the time

Did anyone realize Christopher and lane always looked THE same throughout. Even in the reboot And they are actually just 4 years apart

Fun fact: Lukes truck was actually my grandmas truck, she gave it to them to use for the show, and since the show ended we have it back now. I always thought that was so cool.

I love Gilmore Girls, but Rory started to get more bratty during the seasons

"Does he have a motorcycle? Cuz if you're going to throw your life away, he better have a motorcycle!"😂😂😂

love how jared padelecki plays a character named dean then like 5 years later he is on supernatural with a brother named dean on the show

Am i the only one that thinks that rory’s storyline is more... realistic? Everyone keeps saying she got worst, but I just feel like its more realistic. She was always portrayed as an angel and very idealized, but she’s not perfect, no one is, and they show that as she grows up. Not to mention, being a young adult is a confusing time and I think they highlighted it pretty well. Ya her development was a little disappointing no doubt, but also realistic in my opinion.

Becoming an adult is realizing that Rory had such toxic relationships

We get scented lip gloss u get pockets I think it's a fair trade 😂

"So anyway, rory and dean go walking around town talking about books and stuff because he's like: SmArT aNd SeNsItIve LiKe wOw"

the reason i love gilmore girls cause it’s a more realistic teen show. the main characters focus on studies and school and first relationships. it’s refreshing to see after seeing completely unrelatable accounts of teen life, such as euphoria ginny and georgia gossip girl etc. for me, paris geller is the most relatable character ever lmao. i just love a teen show not all about drugs and partying and alcohol.

the characters were definitely more relatable back then. Nowadays everyone is overdressed or overmakeuped for simple situations... it is just not believable

dean's hair is still attractive for me until now

I can't tell if I envy Lorelai and Rory's relationship or think it's toxic. Like they're really close but sometimes it feels too close like I feel like Lorelai wants to be let in on every single thing in Rory's life without boundaries.

"cause dean is liKe sO smArT and sensitive like ✨Woau✨" i died

Rory was suck a cutie at the beggining it’s so sad they ruined her through the seasons

well alex no one is really stopping you from wearing cinnamon lip gloss, i'm just saying

Fun fact: Sookie was originally meant to be lesbian, but the producer or network or something said that people weren’t ready for a major character to be gay in television.

I'm so pissed that the harp lady never showed up again...

"alright, thanks to dean and his *h a i r ,"*

* high pitched voice * "iS tHAt ThE gUy fROm SUpErnAturAL!?"

Emily and Kirk are the best characters.

2019 WAS FIVE YEARS AGO????

Rory used to be so adorable and sweet....the writers truly ruined her

"How'd you know I was reading Moby Dick?" "I've been watching you" 911, what's your emergency? Edit: Damn, look at all those Likes. Thanks for boosting my self-esteem, guys!

Anyone else think Paris was the most underrated character on this show?

I know this is an old video but the reason Lorelai didn’t want to talk with her parents was because from her perspective she had a very toxic relationship with them and didn’t want to reconnect (though we later learn that Emily did want to reconnect)

I love Gilmore Girls, except when Rory has the affair with Dean and when she drops out 😒😒😒😒

Dang i really wanted a Dean joke making fun of the fact that Jared played Dean for 5 years before going to call someone else Dean for 15 years

I just finished watching the show and I really liked it. But in the later seasons it just wasn't the same. Lane had better, more positive, character development than Rory which surprised me. I get that Rory didn't have to remain the same sweet innocent girl, but I lost my respect for her pretty much in season 5. One hint - (he was married)

Personally, I’ve always disliked Lorelei. She’s very self absorbed and never bothers to view a situation from an others perspective. For example, she acts as if her parents literally ruined her life by being strict and rich. She never tries to repair her relationship with them and projects her hate for them onto Rory. Furthermore she treats Rory like a child even when she’s in her twenties. Not to mention, she fails to criticize her daughters flaws and leads Rory believe she can do no wrong

Gilmore Girls was a show about life. Nothing happened and everything happened. It could get slow and boring, the characters were flawed, it was often about first word problems, but it still felt like growing up along with these people, like them or not. It was about all kinds of relationships, it was about family, friendship, career, your sense of self. It was very unrealistic in many aspects, but also very real and relatable in others. It has taught me so much. I used to watch since I was like 15, and I still watch it over and over again, seeing how differently I perceive the situations as I grow older, how differently I think and prioritize, how better I understand, how much more I notice and realize. It’s brilliant for that. It’s also funny and comforting to me, although that’s a matter of personal taste, I guess.

Rorys voice went from normal to very high and chipper as the seasons went on

the dialogue in this show is everything.

I don't appreciate the mocking of Dean's hairstyle. I'm currently fashioning that same hairstyle.

When he judges Gilmore girls by the pilot episode

I was always very impressed by the way the actors were able to deliver their lines in such brisk succession! Plus, the appeal came from the closeness of the "Mother/Daughter" bond between Lorelai and Rory, since Lorelai was a teen mother, and Rory kept her grounded. Rory was a compelling character, at least until the latter seasons and the revival made her SO entitled and unlikable!😣

i've literally watched all 7 seasons about 19 times through

As someone who has spent her entire life in Chicago, the fact that her first thoughts were "windy" and "Oprah", and not "murder" or "gun violence" was shocking. Until I remembered how old this show is.

I... I still think that 90s haircut looks super flattering on boys 🙈 Great content, I subscribed!

It was definitely the fact that shows back then were more witty. The way they play off of each other when they have conversations was a lot more entertaining back then. Almost improvised. Now it’s like you can REALLY tell that every conversation in a show is scripted.

It’s 2023 and this show is still popular . I remembered watching this show when it first aired in the early 2000s. Since it’s now on Netflix, it has new fans that just discovered it from all over the world. For one thing, they don’t make teen shows like this anymore. The overall cast literally had great chemistry and were authentic. Also to me, Alexis Bledel was an angelic classic beauty that graced US tv during that time and Lauren Graham was a cool mom, the combination of them made the series enjoyable to watch. The writing esp the first few seasons were so witty and funny. And many teen girls can relate to Rory. You don’t see this formula with many YA shows these days. I think Netflix is starting to figure out what makes a show successful and did it with their recent hit Wednesday: the chemistry/authenticity of the cast and the writing made it a global hit. And hopefully they can keep it up. But I definitely miss the CW/WB days, hopefully the industry sees that winning formula again.

dean's entire appeal was that he was smart and could keep up with rory but then jess showed up and they made him dumb :( dean deserved better

The interactions between the characters was a lot more casual and seemingly more realistic/relatable. Which is WHY I will always love Gilmore Girls

i adored rory in the first two seasons, before she graduated chilton. but i feel like she lost some of her original character as the show progressed. i mean, characters change, but compare first and last episode rory's. they're almost entirely different people. i still love rory in every season, but ahh, i'm not good with change

5:28 "New kid at school." *points at "Hair in eyes."* "Black leather jacket." *points at "New kid at school."* "Hair in eyes." *points at "Total Hunk."*

I really want Alex to finish Gilmore Girls, I just want to see his reaction to Jess- ALEX CAN YOU PLEASE FINISH IT. thank you~

ok has anyone else noticed HOW DIFFERENT EMILY LOOKS

I forgot how old season one looks. Also there’s so much redecorating through the seasons I don’t even recognize the diner and their house

“Windy…Oprah” sounds like something I would say and cringe about for the next 10 years

Because it was light hearted, funny and just wholesome enough and offered ESCAPISM to stress

I’ve rewatched the entire series more than I’d like to admit. It’s like going home! The episodes are so effortless and the drama isn’t too much or too cheesy if there even is any. My absolute favorite series. I’m happy you made a video on It!

He should watch the whole thing, then we can watch him ravage Logan, Marty, Tristan, basically all of Rory’s nearly boyfriends and actual boyfriends. Edit: Whoops I forgot to include Jess, TEAM JESS FOR LIFE MY GUYS

I will admit I watch every episode of Gilmore Girls. It was funny. Also I like the wink and nod they gave to Jared Padelecki on Supernatural where the Winchesters end up in Hollywood and take a studio tour and the announcer says "And over here, we film the Gilmore Girls" and seeing the look on Sam's face. Priceless.

Was watching the first season with my girl whol loved this show, when Jared turned up. I yelled 'hey it's Sam!' & she said 'what no that's Dean!' and I was like 'no that's Jensen!' huge mix-up since she didn't end up seeing Supernatural

Rory becomes the worst type of person during the latter seasons.

I think "Gilmore girls" is a rare gem when it comes to tv shows of its time.

gilmore girls is iconic for me, my mum and my sister, the show resonates with how our lives were for us and the relationship between rory and lorelai is similar to me and my sisters relationship with our mum. Thanks for the reminiscence

honestly, it was just comforting to me. They had eachother and the whole show just made me feel safe

Gg fun fact: the actors had to learn the lines by the page, couldn't go off the page at all

Funny how Rory is so innocent and nice here, when she becomes such an entitled, hypocritical, cheating mess by the end of the series. By entitled I mean: that she thought she was better than certain people - rich people. Which is funny, considering that’s where she comes from. She’s shown this numerous times since she went to Yale. Also when she demanded a job from that news agency. Yes, that can be seen as empowering and ambitious, whatever tickles your pickle, but she thought that she deserved a position that wasn’t there - i.e. entitlement. And even putting that aside, by the end of the series she’s still a giant mess that’s having an affair with Logan. The character turned sour, unfortunately.

I always pop by now and again to this channel, and I absolutely love the 90s anime style. I just think about Kodocha, a supperr favourite anime I watched as a kid, super nostalgic and really blends well with the type of stuff you review. Hope it never changes

the 90s haircut is the sexiest thing ever

4:37 who knew the 90s haircut would be an eboys main style a mere 30 years later

I still like Dean’s 90s hair cut.

I'm with you on this. Everything from the 90s to the mid 2000s was gold. It makes me feel like I'm high and floating through the air 😊😊😌😌😌😌

Why did people like Gilmore Girls so much? Because in spite of it's being based on a fictional town and society, the characters had a sense of decency about them, and the looked after each other. Stars Hollow is what.most people would like society to be like. A safe town we people treat each other nicely and live their lives to the fullest! 😀

Incredibily shallow reason but I watched for Jess.

I honestly love Lorelai. She is definitely my favorite character in the show. I know some people don’t like her but I have so much respect for her being a 16 year old, single, mother raising a child. She literally started from nothing and she turned out to be a great, humble, funny person.

This is my favorite channel because it helps me process my feelings and also helps me feel like I’m basically I haven’t watched any of these movies and they’re really popular a lot of people have watched them and I feel cruddy for not having watched them but then I watched these little videos about them and I instantly feel 100% better because you basically just tell me how terrible they are for me

Title: Why do people like Gilmore girls Me: because it’s good! Duh...

New kid, black leather jacket, hair in the eyes, run... he's a school sho- vampire, yeah that's what I was thinking too.

wait wait wait wait wait.... So you mean to tell me that the actor who played the character Sam in Supernatural, a character with a brother named Dean, played a character named 'Dean' in Gilmore Girls? Am I the only one who finds that a funny coincidence?

I couldn't agree with you more about the 90's shows having much better writing in terms of the charcters, their interactions, and thier dialogue. I swear, sometimes when I'm trying to watch one of these newer shows that my mom watches every couple minutes I'm just like.. the dialogue is so unbelievably bad. I don't know how it doesn't bother her, cuz it is so freaking awkward for me to watch.

I grew up watching this show with my mom. It’s really good thank you for this video. I just found your channel and it’s so good

My heart stopped when you said “I know a teen Vampire when I see one, run for your life RORY!!!” *from Laughter of Course

Gilmore Girls is actually one of my favorite shows from that era. I think its biggest successes are that they know their characters and write them all accordingly with realistic development, and also the unrealistic yet witty dialogue that I wish I could come up with at the drop of a hat like the rest of the fictional characters on this show do.

I'm still mad about rory and jess not ending up together

Gilmore Girls was *chefs kiss* and just watched the first 20 episodes and I’m already attached

Gilmore girls is a classic don't even try and change my mind. Yes I know rory is way to bratty. But whatever.

-Named Dean -wears a long black coat -hair in his eyes -new He has 90% chance of trying to blow up the school to make smores while the fire roars

I have watched that show since I was a teenager all the way to my 30s, is always comforting to go back and watch it.

I was really depressed and wanted to drawn into sadness but thn I found u.Tnx for making me happy

90s 00s shows: town/school drama show 2010-present: werewolf/blackhood/drugs/drama/vampires/teens in a town trying to olve a muder mystery started by their parents show... cough *riverdale* cough

Alex:*explains plot* Me:I already know I’ve watched every season 10 times

Man I used to binge this show, thanks alex for the nostalgia

I was born 2004 so I‘m not exactly part of the generation who watched it back then but I’m loving it rn
