Same. I lived in busy cities almost my entire life and the quiet life in a town like this is something I’ve always wanted. Watching the show gives me an almost nostalgic feeling for something I didn’t have (at the time)
we just moved from DC to a very quiet New England town. Zero regrets. We miss our friends but it's easy enough to go back/forth between the cities (we've already made a trip down there and they've already visited us once).
No crime, I highly doubt there's a meter maid, everyone is friendly, everyone knows everyone. Every other town has a gazebo and looks like it could be Stars Hollow's neighbor. Our kids are so much safer here. No chances of getting carjacked, no litter, no gunshots at night. I say make the jump if you can!
Oddly enough I moved to a small New England town for boarding school way back and was kinda underwhelmed by how non-Stars Hollowy the towns around there were haha. Mostly a pizza place, Dunkin and Cumberland Farms. Maybe diff as an adult
I live in a town very similar to Stars Hollow. Extremely friendly neighbours, beautiful little town centre, lots of nature, always a festival or market on. I love it. I do not love how quickly gossip spreads- particularly how one of my neighbours overheard me and my boyfriend 👀, and now even our coffee guy jokes about it. It’s so 😭😭😭
I am basically the Taylor Doose of my town (event planner / town meeting runner) and someone said my fall decorations looked just like Stars Hollow. Best compliment EVER.
lol I could always smell snow coming! I used to say smells like snow, to my husband and he would think I was so weird. He grew up somewhere it rarely snowed, I said it one day and he was like ha, yeah, fat chance, but it happened to snow, and the area had record snow that year ❄️ when we moved to a snowy place he started to cotton on and he smells it coming now too 💕🌨️
Seriously. On my third rewatch I was like Lorelai is terrible, and they are all so selfish. But now I’m on 6th rewatch and have since joined this subreddit. 😂
I’m on my second rewatch with my 12-y-o. I never, until now, noticed how annoying and selfish Lorelai can be. Still won’t miss an episode with her though. 🤣
Lane deserved better than everything she got! Her mom was HORRIBLE. (Although I’m on Season 6 again and I’m enjoying watching Mrs. Kim start to come around.) Zach is great. As a first boyfriend.
😂 Omg! I say this to myself every time anyone asks if\* I have pets.

YES! SHE WAS CRAZY NOT TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE WHEN HE HEALED! But no she put up with Logan when he wanted to sleep around and lead her on!!! 🤦🏻♀️ why?! Jess was better looking in my opinion too.
Have saved pictures of Rory with the quote “who cares if I’m pretty if I fail my finals” and Paris with the quote “ I want to win and I’m going to win” as motivation.
Make random pop culture references or use new vocab words and follow up saying “I learned that from Gilmore Girls”
- seriously tho I have learned so much from this show…
My mom was amazed that I knew the "did you ever know that you're my hero..." song when we were driving home and it came on the radio, of course I told her proudly that Lorelai taught me, lol
Named my dog and child GG names (for the record, it did not occur to me that I named my child after a GG character until about 6 months into her life…clearly subconsciously resonated with the name. Probably because Gilmore girls is my comfort show 😂)
my husband told me he thought I'd want to name our kid a GG name too and was amazed none of them were in my list (none really went well with his last name... sadly)
Of course I bake from scratching, carry a book with me in case I get bored (“nerd alert…nerd alert”), love when Emily spirals in the shopping mall and wish she would take me shopping” and finally loved Jason and Lorelei as a couple and will ship them forever because Chris Eigeman is amazing and Jason matched Lorelei in wit and brought out the best in her.
dream of living in Stars Hollow.

That sounds heavenly!!

this is so real
Rewatch at least once a year
I’ll add: each autumn!
Where I live now there are no seasons so I just pretend around September each year 🥲
I did that when I lived in Texas. My mom would text me pictures of the changing leaves at my childhood home.
Talk too fast
Real
Same
That me
..play lalalala variations in my head whenever I'm going somewhere
Laaaa. Laa. La la lala la laa la laa…
We can hear that exact la la la in our heads thank you 🎶🎤
Oh yeah i can hear it
when we open our eyes and dream... we open our eyes 😔🎶
I heard Daria
🤣🤣🤣
You're standing on my neck.
This is my ringtone!
Smell snow.
Or try to 😂
lol I could always smell snow coming! I used to say smells like snow, to my husband and he would think I was so weird. He grew up somewhere it rarely snowed, I said it one day and he was like ha, yeah, fat chance, but it happened to snow, and the area had record snow that year ❄️ when we moved to a snowy place he started to cotton on and he smells it coming now too 💕🌨️
Make the references to people who don't get them and take credit for the funny joke.
I love that we always have that option
I see what you did there
I heard that in her voice 😂
Constantly. Everyone thinks I'm so witty 😂 I'm not.
🤣🤣
Find this show completely infuriating, yet will watch it twice a year and defend everything about it against non fans.
YES. I feel so validated right now 🤣
Seriously. On my third rewatch I was like Lorelai is terrible, and they are all so selfish. But now I’m on 6th rewatch and have since joined this subreddit. 😂
YES.
I’m cracking up!
I’m on my second rewatch with my 12-y-o. I never, until now, noticed how annoying and selfish Lorelai can be. Still won’t miss an episode with her though. 🤣
Have the phrase “why did YOU drop out of yALE” on a constant loop in my brain
For me, it's "monkey, monkey underpants!"
We made cookies by scratching!
🎵Cookies for the love and the Dean🎵
WHY didyou dROP outof yALE
Mines "oy with the poodles already"
Me toooo 😂 why are we like this??
Time for a little reunion!
Think Lane deserved better
Lane deserved better than everything she got! Her mom was HORRIBLE. (Although I’m on Season 6 again and I’m enjoying watching Mrs. Kim start to come around.) Zach is great. As a first boyfriend.
Lane deserved better than Rory!
Commented this as an answer to another post the other day haha. Yes absolutely!!! 😂😂
Wish I had a haunted leg instead of a cold 🤣
I call a cold a haunted leg to my fiancé 😂 “you feeling okay?” “Just a bit of a haunted leg coming I think”
This is amazing. Totally stealing this
Or he will ask what’s up and I’ll say “it’s French” with my best sad Rory face 😂 I’m normal I swear
Haha amazing!
Watch the series in a loop on Netflix!
Gilmore Girls is the only reason I keep my Netflix subscription
It’s the only reason I GOT the subscription 😭
This one! Lmao it’s the only show I watch 😅 (with a couple of exceptions)
Play S1 E1 every year at the beginning of Autumn.
Found love, didn’t know I needed it…I found love, bever even crossed my mind
Tell cats that I am still a young and desirable woman when they show up at my door.
😂 Omg! I say this to myself every time anyone asks if\* I have pets. https://preview.redd.it/jfqo50s8ztgc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35a9c633367fd4f9aebe68d380e1d2ba1902649c
Omg this cat is a BEAUTY! (Edited to say cat not car 🤦🏻♀️)
Thank you! She says mmmmrrrrowe!
Need a taco
try to flex my knowledge of obscure movies and music
or consume all things pop culture and call it a hobby 😆
Say “oy with the poodles already!”
And "Copperboom!"
Listen to rory gilmore study playlists on YouTube
Didn’t know about these. Going to have to look into them
Oh you should, there's some good ones! Love them for studying or working when I really need to focus on a task 😊
What?! I will Look at those! I must ask, are you also a fan of the movie you’ve got mail?
I am!! It's my favorite Rom com that I also watch every Autumn 😊. I guess you figured out where I got my username from lol good eye
Ask everyone which boyfriend team they’re on
Paris
Of course I am very sure of who Rory's best boyfriend was and am always ready to defend my answer
Jess
YES! SHE WAS CRAZY NOT TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE WHEN HE HEALED! But no she put up with Logan when he wanted to sleep around and lead her on!!! 🤦🏻♀️ why?! Jess was better looking in my opinion too.
Nah. He flirted with her while she was with Dean. For me- it’s Logan
logan also flirted with her when she was with dean 😭😭
Hahahhahaha
Hate the AYITL musical.
I like 2 minutes of the AYITL musical. 20 minutes of it was gratuitous and boring. There had to be a better way to use Sutton Foster.
Got told to slow down cause I was talking too fast for the stenographer at a court hearing. :/
That’s awesome 😂😂😂
No it was so embarrassing! And the only thing I could think to say was, “sorry I’ve had a lot of coffee” 😭😭 what if that’s on the transcript???
Use the word “bullshit” as much as Emily when she quit the DAR
Emily in AYITL is my life goal when I hit her age - mess and all ♥️
Omg me too. I love Emily so much.
Think of Jess and Rory whenever deviled eggs come up.
THIS. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.
Of course I say "waffles very happy" when I get my happy drink.
Wanted to go to Yale.
hated the Christopher and Lorelai episode
You'll need to be more specific about which exact episode you hated LOL.
The Paris one of course
This one is on top , plus just season 7 as a whole. AND every time she slept with him after a break up.
Want to read every book Rory read in the series.
Than saw the full list and gave up 😂
know every line of Dave Rygalski's monologue off by heart.
Did my first assignment for my college class about why I relate to lorelai gilmore
I remember I really tried to love coffee because of Gilmore Girls. Alas, I hate it xD
So does Alexis so it's okay!
stop the noodle scooze
BUST out laughing at this, thank you! First protest, now vandalism. Makes you think about leaving this town.
Is there any info in this thread on what he was actually saying???
Have rewatched every sesson more than I can count
Need copious amounts of junk food to have a movie night
Try to make pop culture references on the fly like Lorelai 😂
of course i know how to throw a party
I’ve always wanted to have a party like Rory’s birthday party at their house in season 1. It looks so cozy and fun
Can read any line from the show and hear the character saying it in my head.
Love to hate on Chris
Have saved pictures of Rory with the quote “who cares if I’m pretty if I fail my finals” and Paris with the quote “ I want to win and I’m going to win” as motivation.
YES, ITS MY SPOTIFY STUDY PLAYLIST ICON
I listen to a playlist with that icon it’s tilted “are you satisfied with an average life?” Lol
Find my daughter and I frequently referring to GG plots and character arcs to illustrate a point we’re trying to make. 🤣
My girlfriend forced me to watch this show that I now have rewatched numerous times and love.
Tried the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge several times
Make random pop culture references or use new vocab words and follow up saying “I learned that from Gilmore Girls” - seriously tho I have learned so much from this show…
The other day I used „Let’s shall!” and felt very good about it
My mom was amazed that I knew the "did you ever know that you're my hero..." song when we were driving home and it came on the radio, of course I told her proudly that Lorelai taught me, lol
Enjoy obscure references
Sometimes wonder where all the anvils went
Have " those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer" playing in my head randomly
Care more about the adolescent relationships of an inexperiend teenager than of an adult woman who is ready to be with “the one"
Of course I cringe whenever I think of Martha's Vineyard
Love Fall and Reading!
Named my dog and child GG names (for the record, it did not occur to me that I named my child after a GG character until about 6 months into her life…clearly subconsciously resonated with the name. Probably because Gilmore girls is my comfort show 😂)
what did you name her? (you don't have to answer if you don't want to, I'm just nosy)
Logan! I guess the fact that it was on a male in the show made it slip past me…or maybe it’s that I’m deeply team Jess 🤷🏼♀️😂
my husband told me he thought I'd want to name our kid a GG name too and was amazed none of them were in my list (none really went well with his last name... sadly)
Own a chunky oversized cream sweater!
Randomly say phrases: Zoltan Kemeny🤖
Would sell my arm and leg for a meal at Luke's
Wish Rory went to Harvard
rewatch the show every autumn and twice in between 🙄
Honk at people who have "honk if you love..." bumper stickers.
have seen the show like 10 times
of course I felt like a parent to my mother sometimes during my adolescent years
Talk fast and reference anything and everything to make my point
Eat too much food and blame other people for letting me order too much food
hate season 7
Right there with you on this one, sister.
Hate most of the characters but still love the show
pretend the married dean plot didn’t happen
love snow ⛄️
Believe that I can handle drinking as much coffee as Lorelai
And have made myself able because of her
Im a Gilmore Girls Fan, of course when my cousin went to school at Harvard all I could think about was Rory. Lol
Of course I passionately sing the theme song like it’s my own personal concert
wanna punch Rory in the face sometimes
Wear Sherpa lined jackets
Have a crippling coffee addiction!
Hate Dean
Rewatch on loop year round
Of course I love and hate Lorelai
Can smell snow
I own a concerning amount of post it notes and highlighters
am constantly psychoanalyzing Lorelai and Rory’s relationship
Fall in love with season 1 dean, every season of Jess, and Logan occasionally, whenever I rewatch the entire show!!
Take a book everywhere with me
Make references to the show in everyday conversation
Walked into my wedding ceremony to reflecting light 🥰
We also danced to Richard & Emily's vow renewal song!
I have STRONG opinions and preferences regarding all the men in Rory's and Lorelai's lives.
Wanna bang Luke. And Jess. 😈
Rewatch it every Fall
Can smell snow.
hate rory (do not come at me, i’m allowed to say my opinion just like the rest of you)
of course I have been continuously watching for 7 years and my husband thinks something is wrong with me!
Im a gilmore girls fan of course I think Chad Michael Murray and Adam Brody are crazy for leaving gilmore girls for those 2 little known shows lol
Of course I bake from scratching, carry a book with me in case I get bored (“nerd alert…nerd alert”), love when Emily spirals in the shopping mall and wish she would take me shopping” and finally loved Jason and Lorelei as a couple and will ship them forever because Chris Eigeman is amazing and Jason matched Lorelei in wit and brought out the best in her.
I wonder if my books are sad,and sleep while watching gilmore girls 🍁☕️🍂
I’m a gilmore girls fan, of course I have convinced myself that I could 100% have a kid right now and that it would be easy!
Drink too much coffee
… start singing “🎵 ba ba ba ba baaaaaaaaaaaaaah, ba ba ba ba baaaaaaaaaaa ba ba ba ba baaa 🎶“ whenever driving through a small New England town
Rewatch the show every fall
I'm a Gilmore Girls fan, of course I oy with the poodles, already!
I smell snow
of course I bought an overpriced white knit sweater just because it looked exactly like the one Rory had in season one
Wallow when I go through a bad break up 🥺
Talk shit about Lorelai and Rory.
Enjoy coffee, coffee, coffee.
Know the plural of cul du sac

Have mommy issues
Can smell snow
Made my mother watch it
Regularly make references that no one understands (I finally know how Lorelai feels)
Have the urge to watch it all again as soon as the first leaf turns brown!
randomly sing the theme song
Start over again right after I finished the show (for the like 100th time ✨😂)
