This may or may not be an actual holiday but if not, it 100% should be. The reason I chose to celebrate it october 5th is that fifteen years ago Gilmore Girls premiered on television. The Fox Girls loved it from the beginning. Now I know there are a lot of people who love this show (and if you're not one of them, who do you think you are?) which has caused me to misconcept that everyone loves it the way that my family does. We live and breathe this show so much that a simple reference to the bop-it is code for "this social situation is getting too awkward for normal social strategies" and we could be cleaning with it on as background noise and have no need to look at the screen to know that Kirk is trying to sell Lorelai a mailbox shaped like Condoleezza Rice. Oy with the poodles already! Am I right? We just grew up watching it, on television, on tapes recorded by my grandparents who had cable, and eventually binging it on DVD. It is the memory of staying up late on a school night with my sister and mother who never said no when we pled, "just one more." So it goes without saying that this show has contributed to making me the person I have become. Therefore, in light of this, the anniversary of the show's birth, I have complied a list of
