Missing Gilmore Girls

Brandi Slavich

“Oy with the poodles already!” is an interesting phrase that works for every occasion because “Oy” and “poodle” are two of the funniest words in the world according to the Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls was a TV show that ran from 2000 to 2007 and even though I may have gotten into it near the end of it I still am in love with this TV show and I own all 7 seasons. This show was my escape and it taught me how to be a better person. But, first let me begin by telling you a little bit about the show. The main idea was that the mother, Lorelai who got pregnant at 16 ran away from home with her baby because her family didn’t understand her. She raised her daughter, Rory, all by herself and they had an unspoken rule which was to be best friends first and mother and daughter second. Like most families they did have their fair share of arguments, however, they would always make up and it would bring them closer. To me Gilmore Girls wasn’t just a TV show; it was another world I could escape. Just like many of you, I bet at some point in your lives you wanted to escape because of family, stress, school, or something else. Well, Gilmore Girls gave me that escape because it was a different but still a realistic TV show. I understand it’s not very common for mother and daughters to be best friends but this show made me want it seem like it could be a realistic goal. Gilmore Girls it taught me that if I ever were to have children I would speak to them not as if they are below me and explain things to them because that is a better way of communicating than just saying “no.” Every year, sometimes even twice a year, I have a marathon of all 7 seasons because this show means so much to me and it never gets old. Lorelai and Rory are two young hyper and happy women who like to make jokes and have a good time together. Every time I watch this show I understand more and more of their jokes and I feel as if I should go out and find more things to do, like helping others, because this show inspires me to be a better person. Finally, the only way Gilmore Girls could be more important to me is if you had a Kit Kat bar growing out of its head. So, I hope you will believe me and give Gilmore Girls a chance. This show may sound a bit girly but it really isn’t. I know both men and women who like this show and also found it a nice escape from reality as well as interesting. Hence, why I hope that they will eventually bring back Gilmore Girls for at least an 8th season.
