What do I miss most about Gilmore Girls? So much to choose from…I’d say the rapid-fire dialogue with so many pop culture references that you’d have to rewind just to catch them all. Seriously, how did we watch it without a DVR?

Sadly I just miss how happy the show made me. Sappy, but true. Plus the guys weren’t too hard on the eyes.

I miss Tristan, and Jess, and Dean, and Max, and Paris, and Michel, and Lane, and Suki, and Kirk, and Lulu…… So basically, everyone.

Everything… but mostly the banter between Lorelai and Rory and the smart writing.

I miss watching it every week with my friends and writing down as many pop culture references as possible while it aired so I could look them up later or ask my parents what they were talking about. I also miss the special mother-daughter relationship between Lorelai and Rory. I also really miss the town meetings. Those were usually the highlight of the episodes for me along with the Friday night dinners. I miss everything about this amazing show.

I miss so so much about the Gilmore Girls. It was the best show. I miss the witty dialogue, the amazing acrtresses, the way it could cheer me up in an instant. I miss the quirkiest charcters on tv, the loving relationships, the mother daughter bond, Kirk’s wacky hijinx. I miss the whole show in it’s entirety and most of all I miss the Amaing Lauren Graham and captivating Alexis Bledel gracing my screen everyweek.

There is so much that I miss! I miss the conversations, the references that I had to LOOK UP! I also miss Emily’s dead pans and the FOOD. Such random things that they ate…makes me look healthy!

KIRK!

I miss the happiness you felt watching it every week Loved the diner and the food scenes with Luke most.

Chinese food and fast talking.

What I miss about Gilmore Girls:

When Gilmore Girls premiered, I was drawn to the series because Rory was the same age as I was. It was also the first show that I was really able to sit down and enjoy with my mom. I loved Rory; she was my age, she was a cool, smart girl, and she and her mom had a great outlook on life. The show dealt with a myriad of topics, from dating to parent-child relationships to dealing with snobs and bullies. We saw Lorelai and Rory overcome adversity by sticking together, working hard, and making obscure pop-culture references. The show was optimistic, witty, poignant, and made watching tv with my mom enjoyable.

When I left for college, talking about what happened to Rory made talking about my college experiences with my mom a little less terrifying. I lived in co-ed dorm, too, and definitely had a couple of naked-boy-in-the-hall sightings (that’s how she met Marty, remember?).

I think the show chose to end at the right time. Following Rory on the Obama campaign media bus would have gotten old (campaigns are hectic, but they are pretty monotonous). Plus, the target audience was in college or graduating, and it’s hard to keep a regular tv schedule when you’re in college or adjusting to life in the real world. Still, I have all seven seasons on DVD and watch them regularly.

This was a show that my husband & I would watch together in private and he would make me swear not to tell anyone that he watched. Then when out in public and someone would say something about an episode and he’d slip-up and respond. Then cover by saying that he watched ONLY because of the manly character of Luke. I think we both miss that hour of fun & togetherness. The whole show just felt like home and the characters were family. So, the answer is we miss our family!

I miss the rapid fire banter the most.

I miss the townspeople. Gilmore Girls was one of the few shows that spent time developing the characters around the town. Kirk went from a guy that popped up here and there to a real character on the show. Taylor and Ms. Patty and the town troubadour made the show so much more entertaining.

I miss the witty banter and funny comments. The show was smart and young, and they talked as fast as I do!

What do I miss the most about Gilmore Girls? I miss when networks gave small shows (because in the beginning, let’s face it, it wasn’t the super popular show it eventually became) the benefit of the doubt and renewed them. Because if the WB hadn’t renewed the show for a second season, I’d never have met Jess Mariano, never have realized that Paris Gellar is one of the greatest television characters ever created and I’d never know if Luke and Lorelai got together. I’d not know half of the things I now know regarding pop culture, I’d never have ventured into the world of Cop Rock, I’d never have been slightly unnerved by “A Film by Kirk” and I’d probably still be a Pippy Virgin. So yeah, I miss getting the chance to broaden my horizons simply because a network picked up the show for more seasons.

I miss Friday night dinners, Luke’s diner, and the interactions between Lorelai/Rory, Lorelai/Emily and Lorelai Luke.

Everything! The music, the actors, the humor, the set, everything!

I miss the way Lorelai and Rory obsessed over coffee and junk foods. I do the same myself except, in my case, too much coffee makes me jittery and too much junk food makes me feel gross. Oh how I wish I had the magical Gilmore metabolism!

Can EVERYTHING be an answer??? Well if it can't then my answer would have to be Kirk. I really want to know how many jobs he held in that small town!

I miss the strummy strummy guitar music, and I miss Friday night dinners.

In a word? Everything.

I just love how family-friendly this show was. I turned my mom on to it and we used to watch it together long-distance. I'd call her or she'd call me and we'd be on the phone watching the show together. Even now I really love when I happen to be at her house and we catch one of the reruns on ABC Family or she's watching the DVD.

I miss Luke's rage. Especially when directed at Taylor or the horrible Gilmore diet. Oh, and town meetings. Town meetings were the best.

the banter between mom and daughter.

the mother daughter banter.

I miss Emily’s endless stream of maids and the hilarious reasons she would give for letting them go. She was my favourite.

I miss the Luke and Loralei will they or won't they? Also the awesomeness of Rory and Loralei's mother/daughter relationship!

KIRK!

I miss the witty Gilmore banter especially between Rory and Lorelei. It was filled with so many pop references that you really had to be paying attention to understand them (enough so they they put reference guides in the box sets!). I also miss all the interesting characters from the town.

I miss Logan and Rory being in love….and I miss Parris being a nut, and the Dragonfly, and Sookie and Jackson, and Grandma and Grandpa Gilmore, and Luke and Loralei…..Pretty much I miss everything about Gilmore Girls.

The feeling of superiority I had every time I understood their pop culture references or had read a book that Rory was reading. Their fantastic junk food binges. I miss Luke, Suki, and Jesse. Man I miss that show.

I miss the relationships from the town's people to the main characters they were all in some type of realtionship no matter how small or large

I miss Stars Hollow! Between the endless quaint events, awesome movie theater and crazy cast of characters, I always wanted to live in Stars Hollow.
I also miss the wonderful relationships, like Rory and Lorelai, Luke and Lorelai, Luke and Taylor… and the fast paced dialogue.
Um, just about everything

Someone already said this, but I have to agree – KIRK. And all of the other quirky characters in Star's Hallow. They made that show!

I miss the high speed, pop-culture reference filled dialog that for often went over my head but lead to so many great discoveries. I also watching with my roommate after she got off work. We would watch the taped (taped!) episodes in our dorm room. Good times.

I miss the atmosphere of Gilmore Girls the most. Stars Hollow itself was a character in the show, and not in the way people say that LA and NYC are “characters” in a show. Stars Hollow was a magical place filled with eccentric but loveable characters that helped Lorelai and Rory grow. Stars Hollow had 24-hour dance marathons, hay bale mazes, and the Festival of Living Pictures that were a backdrop to these amazing characters' lives.

The intro. Of course I miss everything else too, but the feeling I got whenever the intro started playing was one of the best feelings ever. It felt like coming home.

I miss the girsl giong into Lukes Diner and how Luke was cute because he had such a crush on Lorelai. I also miss the cute boys that fell for Rory.

I miss watching the relationship between Lorelai and Rory. They remind me of my mom and I, especially all the joking around and pop culture obsession! I never missed an episode and I love catching the reruns on tv.

The dialogue just couldn't be beat. I miss the wacky!

Though I miss everything about Gilmore Girls, from the witty banter to the adorable town, I really miss hearing the theme song every week. It's the point of the episode where I'm like “I'm watching Gilmore Girls!” I know I can just put in the DVD and hear it, but it's different when it's a new episode. It just elicits a different emotion.

I miss Rory's passion for reading, and the way her eyes would light up when she would find out about an undiscovered first edition or spend hours at a book sale. Basically, Book Rory from Seasons 1-3.

This show was amazing. I loved the witty banter and the amazing one-liners that I am perpetually still quoting on a regular basis. The writers were amazing and the actors knew how to deliver their lines!

I miss Luke and Lorelai bantering back and force about any and every little thing. I miss Sookie crazy concoctions that sound delicious. I miss Rory passion she has for everything. Most importantly I miss sitting down with my mom at 8 every Tuesday night to watch.

I miss the interaction between the characters, particularly between Rory and Lorelai, but really, I miss the whole thing! So glad they're all available again!

I miss the quirky townsfolk and Stars Hollow. So many shows just don’t give that extra oopmph to side characters that Gilmore Girls did!

I miss the Gilmore Girls ability to deliver a rapid pace comedy – drama, with relevant information, biting wit, and sardonical satire.

Finally, I miss Kirk.

Is there really a way to pick what I miss the MOST about Gilmore Girls? I miss everything! I guess if I had to pick one thing it would be the many relationships between EVERYONE on the show. No matter how big or small their role on the show you felt as if everyone was a friend, including the town Troubadour. It was such a smart, witty, intelligent, family friendly show. There will never be a show like it again! Thankfully I own every season so can go to Stars Hollow whenever I like – and I do, quite often.

the witty banter between Lorelai and Rory…

and the fact that my baby cousin is now named Rory and everytime I hear his name it reminds of the show gilmore girls!!

Friday Night Dinners!!!

I miss that the references to events/places/people always made sense even if it took you a while (and multiple viewings) to realize it.

I miss all the references and jokes about coffee, which is to say I miss Lorelai and everything about her.

Coffee, coffee, coffee. / So three coffees?
and Do you like coffee? / Only with my oxygen.

I miss the familiarity of it all. It was expected that every week you could lose yourself in your home inside your home, with your adopted family (that didn't actually know you, but you felt like they did).It was (and still is thanks to DVDs) the family and life you wish you were a part of because it made you feel good, it made you laugh cry and sometimes even made you angry. I miss the witty banter that i want to be part of my everyday life until i die.

Like just about everyone else who has commented, there's not enough space for all the things that I miss about the Gilmores or Stars Hollow, so I guess I'll have to make it short and sweet. I miss the excellent one liners like “Oy with the poodles already!” and “Monkey monkey underpants!” How, may I ask, do you get better then that?

I miss kirk and luke's rage the most!

I miss the realism of the relationship between lorelei and rory. their dialogue and closeness was refreshing for television.

I miss how SMART and funny this show was. It wasn't about a bunch of sex and toilet humor. Don't see that very much. And I miss the soundtrack. Doesn't everyone wish their town had a troubador?

I miss the show so much that I watch it every day on ABCFamily channel. I loved it when Lorelai said “FRAK!” I miss the Friday night dinners, fast paced dialog and Paris.

Miss pretty much everything about Gilmore Girls. But like most of the others here, I would have to say the dialogue. You really believed that Lauren Graham was downing all that coffee b/c otherwise I don't know how she got all of those words out so quickly.

I miss the ENTIRE show. I miss the funny dialogue. I miss that I had to look up some of their references. Not many shows can make you do that. I miss Rory and Logan. I miss Lorelai and Luke. I miss Michele and Sookie. I miss it all. I actually think I'm going to watch the box sets this weekend now.

I miss all the witty pop culture banter.

So I watched GG for years but my mom was never able to because she lived where she couldn't get the WB.

I was home last August and saw that she could watch the reruns on ABC Family Channel and for the next few months I kept getting calls from her saying “Oh my God why did I never watch this show!” or “Emily Gilmore is totally my mother (my grandmother) except she isn't rich, just mean!”

So it became a thing I asked about all the time. I would ask “so what happened today on GG” and she would tell me and we would laugh and laugh. Then she got really close to the end and it was a weekend and I asked what was happening on the show and she told me. I said wow you are almost a the end, like really close to the end. She got all upset and made me look on the DVDs to find out how many episodes she had left. When I told her she only had 2 episodes left it was like I stabbed here with a knife. She was so sad and rearranged her entire week so she wouldn't miss it.

Then I got a call at work immediately after she watched the last episode and she was crying and sniffing. It was so cute.

So I guess the thing I will miss most about GG is my mom seeing the episodes for the first time and then talking about them after. I don't think anything on TV right now is written as well or as witty as GG and that makes me sad. I love that I own the whole DVD series and can pick episodes that I know are great and watch them over and over.

I miss looking forward to it every week. That's what I miss most.

Too many things to mention just one.

I miss most of all the smart, witty, fast-paced dialogue.

But, I also miss the characters, the relationships, the constant festivity of Stars Hollow, the quirkiness of its town members, the constantly amazing performance of Lauren Graham, and the perfect blend of drama & comedy.

It's not serious enough to be a drama. It's not goofy enough, corny enough, or staged enough to be a sitcom. It's not sappy or melodramatic enough to be a soap opera. It's its own entity.

I've always expressed my disappointment in season 7 and, to a certain extent, the 2nd half of s6. But, I recently re-watched the last two seasons. S7 is still the worst season, and I still think the final scene of s6 was a horrendous mistake, but episode for episode, it's not as bad as I remember, not even the series finale. I finally relented and now count GG as one of my all-time 9 favorite TV shows. And, if I had to narrow it down more, it could possibly be in the top 5.

Oh I miss Emily and her ability to make sure there's a Friday night dinner for Lorelei to suffer through….

I miss everything about Gilmore Girls! But I guess the thing I miss the most is having a show that my mom and I loved watching together. She's not as into TV as I am, so it's not often I can convince her to watch something with no complaints.

I miss Paw Paw

I miss the lalalala song of the town troubadour and the quirky episodes with unusual town events (like the picnic basket auction or the living-art contest). But most of all, as a fellow coffeeholic, i miss the begging and cravings of Lorelai when entering Luke's

I miss everything about the show. Especially the witty banter and hilarious one liners.

“I hear he controls the weather and wrote the screenplay to Glitter!”

I miss the zaniness of Stars Hollow events. I miss the quick witted banter and the charm that the show had. I miss relating my life to what was happening to Rory at the same time on the show and I definately miss the Jess years. I pretty much miss everything about it and love being able to get back from class (I'm in college) and watch repeats on ABC Family.

I miss the Lorelai-Luke tension. I miss Rory's bad-boy phase with Jess. I miss Paris & Rory on spring break. I miss every single thing about Lane. I actually kinda really miss Emily Gilmore & her hoity-toity attitude. I don't miss the time when Lorelai & Rory weren't speaking to each other, but I do miss how amazing it felt to see them reunite.

I miss the reliability of Lorelei and Rory

I miss the feeling of belonging that I got while visiting Stars Hollow. Even when I watch the reruns on ABC Family and SoapNet now, I still say to myself, “that's where the people like me live!”

I miss all the random pop culture references, fast talking and of course every single character to come out of Stars Hollow!

I miss everything about Gilmore Girls honestly. But most, I probably miss the great banter & awesome relationship between Lorelai and Rory being on my TV every Tuesday night

I miss the snappy dialogue and constant barrage of random and obscure pop culture references!

Oh my. Honestly, I miss the butterflies in my stomach that used to happen before a new episode! The jeep, the inn, the new inn, Lane! Oh, how I loved Lane and Mrs. Kim! And cute, sweet Dave… whatever happened to that kid

I miss the wit. And the pop culture. I feel like my mind has become sluggish since GG. No one I’ve met in real life has 1/5th the arsenal of intelligence and witticisms in their repertoire that the Gilmore Gals did.

I also miss Jess, because really – he’s Jess.

God, what do I miss the most? So much to choose from. I miss all those wonderfully wacky town events that seemed to take place each week end. I mean, who doesn’t dream of living in a place like Stars Hollow?

I think it goes without saying that I miss everything. But if I HAD to pick one, I'd say the relationship (especially the banter!) between Rory and Lorelai.

What I miss most is watching Luke and Lorelai falling in love. I feel the ending wasn't fully finished and there was still more of the story to be told. I really missed Amy Sherman-Palladino's writing in the last season too. I'm aware that from the very beginning she knew the last two lines that were to be said on the show. She's never told them to anyone and since she didn't write the finale the fans never got to hear them either. Truth be told i miss the way ASP wrote the show. Now I would say I miss watching Lauren Graham on television since she's my favourite actress but she's recently been cast on Parenthood and I couldn't be happier. I've watched Gilmore Girls since it aired and I was only 6. 10 years later and i'm still watching the DVDs everyday. It's the reason why my mother and I are so class and for that i'm thankful. I miss the wittiness of Lorelai and the Gilmore Girls in general and all the hilarious pop culture references. I've learned so much from the show and still cannot believe it's been done for 3 years. But also I miss Stars Hollow and all the funny characters that came with it. Gilmore Girls was more than just a show, it was a life style. I love it with all my heart and it will forever be my favourite show. There's so much more I miss about it, but there's not enough room to write it all. I'd need to write a story book to do so. There is nothing on TV now that is as good as Gilmore Girls and nothing will ever compare. The best moment of my life was when I got to see the sets. Now if I ever met Lauren that would be a high second, but I just miss Gilmore Girls SO much. And one of my favourite artists 'Amy Kuney' was the folk singer in an episode in S6? I really need to stop rambling, but pretty much my life relates so much to GG and I just feel like i'm apart of it rather than watching it. <3

I miss the fun

I miss the music and the dialog!

Wow – so hard to narrow it down! I think I miss Friday night dinners the most… the banter and the relationships between Lorelai/Emily and Rory/Richard. Funny and heartwarming.

WOW. I had no idea such mugs existed. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win.
What do I miss about Gilmore? Hmm, I'd have to say EVERYTHING. That was one awesome show!!

Gilmore Girls is my all-time favourite show and I enjoy it now through reruns and show DVDs. There is so much to miss about the show. At the core, it was about relationships – mother-daughter relationships of all three Gilmore Girls. This was appointment-TV with my own mom and sister and the three of us enjoyed watching the GG go through their realistic relationship dramas with each other. It gave us all something to think about, but always left us feeling warm-and-fuzzy. The banter between characters was unlike anything else on TV and the pop culture references were a great part of the dialogue; I always found myself looking them up. I loved the fact that Rory was so different, in a positive way, from other teens on TV and I could relate to her bookwormy-academicness + obsession with TV and movies! It was refreshing to see; finally someone who enjoys culture, books and actually cares about her education by actively showing that she studies, I never really saw that on TV. The crew of characters, the quirky, small-town feel… I could escape each week and feel like I was a part of that world. Some say the Gilmore Girl universe was unrealistic but that’s not the point… maybe you can’t find a real town with such a closely-knit community, but the show still offered a dose of realism with its messages about love, community, family and friendship.

Paris! She was the funniest part of Gilmore Girls.

what i miss most about gilmore girls is the amazing relationship lorelai had with rory. The way they interacted and could share anything with each other. they truly understood each other. i also miss singing along…” where you lead i will follow anywhere that you tell me to”… i just miss those gilmore girls

I would have to say what we (my 13yr daughter and I) miss the most is the kind of bond we felt with Rory and Loralai. We grew with them. With a bond for each other like they had for one another. We still watch Gilmore Girls daily. As it is a part of how we communicate.

I miss the quaint environment of Stars Hallow the most. Gilmore Girls was a show that was such a nice escape from the fame-hungry reality shows and primetime shows where the lead characters are constantly shirtless. This was about an innocent, quirky town that just stood out from every other TV show; it was refreshing.

I miss all that witty dialogue btw lorelai & gilmore! I love how luke loves lorelai in his own way despite how she drives him nuts! N most of all, i miss growing up with gilmore girls!

I miss all the awesome pop-culture references that came up during the quick, witty dialog.

Oops duplicate

The thing I miss most is the charecters. They were like a second family to me! The amazing idea of a small town with the best people and the biggest hearts. Amy is a genius. She created a show where people can get lost in the crazy refrences and amazing places. I miss the most incredible show in the world!

Of course, the banter, the pop references, the humor. But all that worked so well because it was based on the supportive bond Lorelei and Rory. That's an unusual approach for a TV. It's so much easier to milk the conflict between the generations. That gave the show a fresh perspective. One that I miss.
