I started watching them on one of my digital-TV sub-channels, about a year ago I think---
all that pithy and fast dialogue along with pop-culture references HOOKED me---
they play on "StartTV" from 11pm to 1am EST/EDT weeknights,
and on Saturday from 5 to 10 PM EST/EDT....
Well, I have had trouble keeping up with that schedule, except for Saturday's marathon---
About four days ago, I discovered that I actually OWNED the DVDs for the first three seasons----
in very attractive packages--- within a package that I hadn't actually looked at enough--
thanks to my best friend, now deceased, who bid me take all of his DVDs before his passing---
he spent a lot of time shopping garage sales and buying up DVDs in his last few years---
I have some doubts about whether he actually knew about what
'The Gilmore Girls' actually were either, or whether he had ever viewed them---
but he could spot a bargain!
(They were stored in one of those vinyl see-thru packages of which there were many,
but one I had not looked at too much before---
and when I acquired them from him back around 2018,
I had never heard of the 'Gilmore Girls'---
but a few days ago I actually looked at it
and it hit me stark in my face!!)
so, after having tried to watch them on a TV sub-channel,
you might imagine my shock to discover that I actually OWNED
the first three seasons on DVDs!
SO, as might be surmised, I have been on a DVD 'Gilmore Girls' marathon
for the past 4 days, LOL Just started Season Three....
Might have to shop for the latter seasons, at this point...

(5,230 posts)they refer to the very PRIME of MY life--- 80's and 90's---
A recent Gilmore Girls reference to a 'GO-GOs First Album autographed by Belinda Carlisle' comes to mind! LOL
(I love the Go-Go's NOW, and Belinda after them---
but I used to MOCK them, back in their prime in the 80's when I was
a dedicated hard rocker who despised 'commercial music'---
Now, it reminds me of 'good times' in my youth,
even if I didn't "like it" at the time....)
((sort of like those songs that you HATED SO MUCH,
that later you started to LIKE them ??? ))
