I am like you, having never watched the show despite it being referenced everywhere! I finally bit the bullet and started watching at the beginning of this year. I’m on season 3, episode 3 and now I actually sing along with the intro! It’s one of those great shows that despite having drama feels like a safe space to relax into. But you are SO right about the diet. It is strange how they are championed for eating junk food and take out but it’s glamorized because they have perfectly skinny figures. It feels VERY pick me/cool girl.
Additionally, we need to talk about how amazing Paris is as a female figure. I think if I had watched the show when I was young I wouldn’t have liked her. But now? She is a force!
I loved Gilmore Girls so much that I had viewing parties with themed snacks and custom-burned soundtrack cds as party favors. Rewatched recently and for me it holds up, but nostalgia is a big factor.
I watch something in the elliptical in the morning and I love junk tv for that. It’s 6 am and I’m sweating in a freezing garage. My favorite this year has been Doctor Odyssey, which is ABSURD but delightful.
I watched the Gilmore Girls. That cafe will grow on you. Also, I've read the Mother Daughter book. Very enjoyable crossover. Good description that--Gilmore with a mystery. Enjoy.
What great insight!!

You are so right about Paris. She is the stereotypical blonde mean girl but actually the girl who will change the world.
