Much like Lorelai and Rory once opined about The Donna Reed Show, Gilmore Girls isn’t just a show. It’s a lifestyle, a religion for fans who worship Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel’s mother-daughter duo as both zeitgeisty deities in their own right and fast-talking filters sifting through the whole of popular culture. Through seven seasons (pause for momentary, internal sigh over that last one, though apparently some people like it), Gilmore Girls’ whiz-bang, screwball dialogue reveled in intertextual references both old (Brooks and Reiner’s “2000-Year-Old Man” sketch) and new (a pre–Neon Bible Arcade Fire mention!), highbrow (La Boheme) and lowbrow (Deuce Bigalow).

Consuming entertainment may have been its own raison d’être for Lorelai II and Lorelai III, but their expansive Weltanschauung also made plenty of space for parsing boyfriends, pounding coffee, and participating in all the kooky goings-on around Stars Hollow. So with the dramedy set to return in an upcoming Netflix reboot, what better time to take stock of just how much muchness the show offered?
