Balancing romance with family ties, exploring wealth and power without preachiness, and extolling the virtues of community, Gilmore Girls has become a touchstone for several generations of viewers. Each episode offers escapism into a world — well, an eccentric New England town — where the locals speak in witty, rapid-fire dialogue filled with a heady mix of current, old and wonderfully obscure pop culture references. And where they engage in slow-burn romances and have the chance to air their grievances at town meetings inside Miss Patty’s School of Ballet. And at the heart of it all, a mother-daughter duo like no other. No wonder its fan base spans all age groups, and viewership remains strong nearly two decades after the original series ended. In The Ultimate Guide, we look back at each season’s big story lines, relive our favorite moments, see where the stars are now, and, to top it off, after revisiting Stars Hollow, test your knowledge with the best. Gilmore Girls. Trivia quiz. Ever.
