Gilmore Girls is the warm fuzzies. It’s a virtual hug. It’s a friend who makes you snort wine out your nose, laughing while you get over your break-up. It’s a world to get lost in. And you reemerge hoping to bring a little bit of the girls’ world into yours.

But more than that, Gilmore Girls is an education. You’ll learn far more about the events, people, things, and trends that mattered in the last 80 years from Gilmore Girls than you ever would in a high school history class. The Gilmore’s bring life and depth to American pop culture, forcing you to keep up or get out.

I hope this site can be a resource for you as you watch (and re-watch) the girls in their picture-perfect world. They “live” in our world too, though. Don’t forget that. They know about the Stones and Buster Keaton and Who’s On First and Wes Craven and Paul Anka. I hope they teach you as much as they have taught me.

If you ever want to talk Gilmore, you know where to find me.
