Imagine this it’s a Wednesday, before eight- o’clock in the morning and yet somehow there is a line outside Spot Coffee shop in Elmwood, Buffalo stretching down the block. You’re probably thinking that everyone in line had an insane urge for caffeine and pastries but you would be wrong. October 5th 2016 marked the 16th anniversary of the “Gilmore Girls”premiere.
To truly appreciate this "Gilmore Girls" anniversary you need to understand that Netflix with permission from Warner Bros company is reviving the popular TV show that aired from 2000-2007. On November 25th 2016, Netflix will release four 90-minute episodes titled “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” and individually named after each season. The revival is a dream come true for many fans, especially in keeping with the same cast.
However, Netflix didn’t stop there. To celebrate the 16th anniversary of the “Gilmore Girls” premiere, they teamed up with 200 coffee shops nationwide in the US, and with several locations in Canada. The goal to provide free coffee in Gilmore Girl-style cups and sleeves from seven am until noon. Staying true to the TV show the participating coffee shops decorated as if it were Luke’s Diner from the show.
What’s even better is that fans were all over twitter with the hashtag #GilmoreGirlsRevival and #LukesDiner. The best part is I got to spend my Wednesday morning in Luke’s Diner and enjoyed some delicious coffee. So curl up in a blanket and wait for November because the Gilmore Girls are coming back.
