If you're looking for a good cup of coffee, there's no better recommendation for Luke's Diner than Lorelai Gilmore, who drinks at least two pots every day. Enjoy the gruff yet lovable owner Luke Danes and, if you're lucky, you might even spot some of the wacky residents of Stars Hollow.

Just in time for the election, BuddyTV brings you our list of the 15 worst politicians from TV.
<<PREVIOUS | NEXT>>
Taylor Doose's devotion to the rule of law is what makes him both a great and terrible politician. To his credit, the market owner followed all the rules and truly wanted the best for the citizens of Stars Hollow. The problem was his disciplined and strict adherence to all the rules made life dull. The town briefly voted him out, but upon learning how much work and effort it took to run the town, Taylor was put back into office.

Alexis Bledel epitomizes beauty, youthfulness and glamor as manifested in her numerous recognitions in the showbiz world. Named as one of Teen People Magazine's 25 Hottest Stars under 25 and acquiring the Family Television Award for Best Actress for her performance in Gilmore Girls in 2002 definitely proves she has what it takes to make it big.

Alexis Bledel, the product of one Mexican and one Argentinean parent, grew up in Houston, Texas speaking only Spanish. It wasn't until grade school that she mastered English. On Gilmore Girls, Bledel put that mastery to use, espousing her dialogue in the patented rapid-fire delivery that Gilmore Girls was known for.
Prior to landing her part as Rory Gilmore on the Gilmore Girls, Bledel spent her childhood working as a model. It wasn't until an audition came along for Gilmore Girls that she began acting.

At one time or another, every Gilmore Girls fan wanted Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Christopher (David Sutcliffe) to end up together. Maybe it was just for a second, then you went back to longing for Luke (Scott Patterson) and Lorelai to finally get together, but there was certainly a time when the appeals of Christopher won out. Early on, he was the rebel, the young kid unable to be a father who took off to live his own life.

In honor of Mother's Day, BuddyTV has compiled this list of our 10 favorite motherly moments.
To be honest, this entire list could be made up of maternal moments from Gilmore Girls. The show is all about the relationship between mother and daughter. A close second on this list was the final scene from the first season episode “Rory's Dance,” when Rory (Alexis Bledel) doesn't come home, leading to a series of epic screaming matches that just underscore how much these Gilmore women love each other.

Debbie Chang ranked Gilmore Girls 2nd. She says...
Gilmore Girls ended its seven-season run in the spring of 2007. The show's quality dipped precipitously in the sixth season, mostly due to the character assassination that Luke Danes (Scott Patterson) suffered with regard to his long-lost daughter April. Lorelai (Lauren Graham) also had the misfortune of losing her signature spunk, piling on more things for us viewers to complain about.
However, the seventh season of Gilmore Girls was able to turn it around. Whether it was because of the change in leadership, when David Rosenthal took over the reigns after creator Amy Sherman-Palladino's departure, is not clear, but the characters became closer to what we had always known them to be. Perhaps not quite up to the level of the first three seasons, but it was enough to remind us of its previous greatness.

During its seven-year run, Gilmore Girls consistently delivered as one of the smartest-written shows on television. It was nearly as perfect as the idyllic New England hamlet of Stars Hollow in which it was set. A story about how a 16-year-old gets pregnant and flees her life of privilege to raise her daughter on her own isn't going to make Gilmore Girls a favorite of the Parents Television Council. But Gilmore Girls was heartwarming, wholesome family entertainment because it was a story about complicated mother-daughter relationships and it showed that the family you build with your community can be even more supportive than the family you are born with.
