Gilmore Girls fans are long awaiting the four part revival on Netflix, entitled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. After seven seasons, the show left fans hanging on to one question. What are those final four words? But those words weren't the only things fans took away from the beloved show.
Thank you for portraying strong women. Both Lorelai and Rory were strong, separately and together. Lorelai, the young single mother who worked to make sure her daughter went to the schools of her dreams. Rory, the intelligent daughter who wasn't afraid to state her opinion and stand up for herself.
Thank you for showing women in all types of roles and jobs. From Lorelai, the inn manager to co-inn owner, to Sookie, the chef to co-inn owner, and many more. The women were mothers, daughter, owners, friends, editors, etc.
Thank you for the timeless jokes. Jokes in popular tv shows are usually based on what was happening while that show was being filmed. But with Gilmore Girls, the jokes, no matter the age, will always be timeless and humorous.
Thank you for the real life family dynamics. The interactions between family members on the show were so true to those in real life. They didn't seem staged as some show come off as. They seemed real, understandable, and relatable.
Thank you for inspiring women to follow their dreams. Rory was probably one of the most inspirational characters I have come across in my tv watching. She went after what she wanted in life, worked hard, and stepped back when something wasn't right for her.
Overall, just thank you for such a lovable show with such great characters. The revival has big shoes to fill, considering it has been nine years since the season seven finale. But I have no doubt that the show will be just as good as the original. I can't wait to be back in Stars Hollow.
