Main Characters:
- Rory Gilmore: (played by Alexis Bledel) the daughter in the Gilmore Girls, who has hopes of attending Harvard
- Lorelai Gilmore: (played by Lauren Graham) owner of the Independence Inn and the mom in the Gilmore Girls who had Rory at 16 and left home as an unwed mother with her young baby
- Emily and Richard Gilmore: (played by Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrman) Lorelai’s wealthy, appearance-obsessed parents
- Luke Danes: (played by Scott Patterson) is the owner of “Luke’s Diner” in Stars Hollow and Lorelai’s friend and then later love interest
- Sookie St. James: (played by Melissa McCarthy) Lorelai’s best friend and business partner at the Independence Inn
- Lane Kim: (played by Keiko Agena) Rory’s best friend
- Michel Gerard: (played by Yanic Truesdale) a French concierge who works at the Independence Inn with Lorelai and Sookie
What to watch for as a newbie while watching the marathon (Oct. 4) and series reboot on Monday through Friday, each weeknight beginning Oct. 5:
- Each Gilmore episode is chock full of pop culture references
- Each episode of Gilmore Girls has at least 2 to 3 literary references
- A enormous amount of coffee is consumed during the show. Rory, is the lone holdout, she prefers soft drinks
- A great deal of pizza, junk food and chinese food is consumed, along with burgers and pancakes
For fans and news fans alike: When watching the marathon…why not try?
- See how many pop culture references you can find in each episode: For example, the pilot references over 14 different music, books, and popular culture items. How many can you find?
- As I said, the characters drink a LOT of coffee. Why not view the marathon with a group of friends and take a sip of coffee each time someone in the show does? (Use good sense…LOL!)
- Order pizza and chinese food whenever you watch on Monday through Friday Nights at 7 & 8PM (ET)
- Read all the books, listen to all the music and watch all the movies mentioned in the series. You can google various lists (they tend to differ from list to list).

Blog Note: This Gilmore Girls discussion is a sponsored post, but all the excitement is my own!
I can’t wait to see Love & War & Snow because i loved that episode.
I guess, Rory’s Birthday Parties, I liked that episode. But, I really like all of the episodes. I used to watch the show faithfully, and still watch the reruns.
I’m looking forward to seeing the first episode because I’ve never seen the show.
not sure.
I’ve seen every single episode and love them all! I just saw the one where Paris goes on a first date the other night!
I never watched Gilmore Girls when it was on so I would want to watch the pilot episode.
I haven’t watched the Gilmore Girls so I am not very familiar with it so the pilot would be a great place to start for me.
Can’t wait to see Cinnamon’s Wake because of the drama. lol
Rory’s Dance! It’s such a fun high-schooly episode.
Double date sounds hilarious.

Pilot! I love Gilmore Girls, but I don’t think I’ve ever watched the Pilot!
I have only seen a few episodes, but really want to watch this.
I have watched a few episodes of the Gilmore Girls. I think it is time to start from the beginning and watch, SEASON 1 : Episode 1 | Pilot. That way can know what is going on and who the characters are.
I would start with the first one since I havent seen any of them
I can’t wait to see the episode in which she has to ask for help with her tuition .
I’d like to see the Pilot episode. I’ve never gotten to watch Gilmore Girls, so starting with the first episode would be ideal.
I can’t wait to see The Lorelais’ First Day At Chilton episode. I have SO many favorites, but this one seems to encapsulate so perfectly all of the quirks that make the Gilmores (the whole clan) and their friends so funny and likable!
Gilmore Girls was such a great show. That Damn Donna Reed was a great episode (of course they mostly all were). I thought it was really funny the way Rory interpreted Deans words. It was cute and also very teenager-ish. I liked that one. (I don’t want to give anything away incase someone didn’t see the episode yet)

I can’t wait for Rory’s Dance!! I love Rory and Dean together and find it quite humorous that they get caught after actually falling asleep, and nothing else but everyone freaks out and thinks they did other things!
I’ve seen all of the seasons of Gilmore Girls many times! It is such a great show. It is hard to pick a fave but The Third Lorelai is a funny one for sure.
