So there's this show called "Gilmore Girls," set in a small town and all that big shabang and let me tell you, it is one of the best TV shows of all time (sorry "Grey's," but you lose this round). It has all the love, drama, and comedy you could ever want from a television show. Here's 11 short and yet slightly detailed reasons why you should watch it and the revival that is coming out in November.

1. Starting the list off, it's about a single mom just trying to raise an awesome kid.

I come from a single parent household and I really relate to this with the relationship that I now have with my mom.

2. If you like coffee, the Gilmores might give you a run for your money.

The whole show is centered around this diner (Luke's) where they get the best coffee.

3. Two words: Jess Mariano.

He is the second guy to ever date Rory, the daughter in the show. He is smart and he loves books. He even writes one!

4. Every month it seems like they have a party going on in the town of Stars Hollow.

My favorite will probably always be the 24 Hour Dance Marathon. I mean look at the outfits!

5. Emily and Richard, the grandparents, make the show enjoyable to a degree.

Mainly Emily more than Richard.

6. Books. Books. Books.

Rory always has a book in her hand or is talking about whatever book she is reading that week. I've actually started the challenge that Buzzfeed has for reading the books Rory has read. I still can't, for the life of me, get past Ayn Rand.

7. Great music is in this show, too.

Lorelei and Rory have a vast amount of CDs (bear in mind that this show was made in the 90s to early 2000s). I wish I had as many CDs as they did!

8. Luke...Ah, Luke Danes.

He is the provider of coffee and the bottomless pit of food when the two Gilmores come in the diner. He really does make the show and is there for the entire series. He's kind of like a father to Rory, he takes his nephew in to try and straighten him out (Jess), and he helps Lorelei out any chance he gets.

9. Mrs. Kim is crazy, but without her we wouldn't have Lane who is Rory's childhood best friend turned rockstar.

Mrs. Kim is against everything and is scary as all get out. I mean she makes me shake just thinking about her.

10. Sookie St. James.

Sookie St. James is probably my second favorite character on the show. She is portrayed by Melissa McCarthy, ya know the one from "Bridesmaids" and "The Heat." She was the cook for the Independence Inn and later the Dragonfly. She was clutzy and I always wanted to try her food because it looked sooo good.

11. Michel.

Pronounced like Michelle. French pompous receptionist of the Independence and Dragonfly Inn. He makes you mad most of the time because he comes off as bit of a jerk but really he's a total sweetheart.

So there you have it, 11 reasons why you should watch Gilmore Girls! If that isn't enough of a reason, then you should really watch it to see what it is all about. Binge watch it while you can before the revival November 25. I'll be watching it with my best friend!

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

Rory Gilmore

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
