Gilmore Men

A (very) subjective ranking of the Gilmore Girls boyfriends

Gilmore Girls has been one of my favorite shows since college. By then the first few seasons were on DVD, in those thick books that held episode guides and even a guide to all Rory and Lorelai’s pop culture references. I wish shows still did stuff like this, but these days fun DVD extra booklets are basically within the purview of the Criterion Collection and no one else.

I would get under my reversible hot pink/neon green duvet cover (why), put a disc into my giant, loud, overheating laptop, and let the piano tinkle of the WB logo wash all the worries of my day away.

Getting a D on my first geology test because I didn’t yet understand I needed to study for more than five minutes in college? Not a problem. Being dumped again by the same guy who wore a puka shell necklace (only happened twice, but felt like it was a more frequent occurrence, like perhaps it’s still happening even now)? Forget about it. Feeling kind of lonely and weird and like I should be “out” somewhere, but instead I’m alone in my room again? Sorry, I can’t hear you, Carole King is singing about the seasons and I live in this sepia-toned credit sequence now!
