Other shows, for me at least, age well. When the Gilmore Girls was on, I despised it. I was very vocal and annoying about it, too, and any timid endorsement would be met with a stream of criticisms of the preciousness, the ersatz cleverness, the incredibly grating, colorful townsfolk, the cutesy vocal scoring. Did I watch it regularly? Of course - the better to dismiss it with. And then I caught it in syndication a few months ago and was totally riveted. The character of Rory was so smart and serious! The references were sometimes clever! Was it saccharine and frequently twee? Yes - but in a world where Glee is hailed as brilliant, it started to look like early Arthur Miller. It seemed I was not alone. Two of my friends mentioned to me recently that they’ve fallen into belated love with Gilmore Girls. “It’s sad,” said one, “that as a 30-something woman, the only thing I can relate to is a ten-year-old show about a teenager.

Eventually, in my ideal world, everyone will come to know and love Gilmore Girls.

I’m hoping Rob will come to this realization, but not the part that he he is a 30-year-old woman. I need someone to watch Gilmore with me when I get home.
Any takers?

@allie - Girl, I watch Gilmore Girls reruns everyday, in the apt that you are going to be living in when you return!
