Gilmore Girls 20th year anniversary
It is hard to believe that Gilmore Girls, the original American comedy-drama television series finished 20 years ago. Lorelai Gilmore, a single mother played by Lauren Graham lives with her 16-year-old daughter Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) in Star Hollows, Connecticut.
They have an inseparable and close mother-daughter bond. Lorelai’s parents Richard (Ed Hermann) and Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop) are rich live in Hartford, Connecticut. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the beloved Warner Bros series, let’s look back at the top 20 moments.
Let’s look back at the top 20 moments from Gilmore Girls
1. Season 1, Episode 2, “The Lorelais’ First Day At Chilton”
Rory’s first day at Chilton (exclusive prep school) is a momentous and occasion for the Gilmore Girls. The Gilmore Girls looked forward to the day, but the day goes from bad to worst. In the morning, Lorelai oversleeps and Rory wakes her up and she rushes to get dressed, but all her clothes are at dry cleaning.
She ends up wearing a t-shirt, cut off jeans, and cowboy boots. Rory is not pleased with her outfit, but she will be late for school if her Mum changes her outfit. Lorelai drives Rory to Chilton and they get out of the car and Lorelai’s outfit gets looks from disapproving Chilton mothers. Lorelai makes a bad first impression on headmaster Charleston, but a good impression on one of the Chilton’s fathers.

As Rory’s highly anticipated Chilton (high school) graduation approaches, the Gilmore Girls organize their summer plans together. The moment I love in this episode is when Rory does her graduation speech.
I cried when I watched this, as Rory says, “my mother never gave me any idea that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted to do or be whoever I wanted to be. I don’t know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her.”
