Should Amy Sherman-Palladino’s “Gilmore Girls” series once again be revived, we humbly suggest these series titles: “Gilmore Grandchildren.” “Geriatric Girls.” “Gilmore Graves.” The show’s star Lauren Graham says she doesn’t see the point. “Just as an experience, it was kind of perfect,” she told Indiewire, referring to the massively successful four-part Netflix revival that aired…
“Gilmore Girls” fans, take a long, deep breath. Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of the mother-daughter hit show, is coming out with a new TV pilot next week — and it looks delightfully Jew-y. “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” which lands on Amazon March 17th, centers around a 1950’s Jewish housewife who decides to break into the comedy…

A still from Gilmore Girls Today is a big day. Today is the day we reconnect with Lorelai and Rory. Today is the day Netflix starts streaming all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls. WE. JUST. CAN’T.
