In a chaotic world, Stars Hollow feels consistent and like a familiar friend — which makes GilmoreGirls a cozy watch perfect for when that autumn breeze rolls in.
Consensus shared amongst many fans of media from the early to mid-aughts, and certainly ones who color themselves as fanatics of a certain fast-paced, quick-witted, pop culture-laced dialogue found in the cozy small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut dictates that Gilmore Girls just hits different, and for some better, in the fall.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Stars Hollow Seems to Exist in a Perpetual Autumn Of course, I understand the obvious, rudimentary reasons why fans associate Gilmore Girls with fall: like Dawson’s Creek before it and One Tree Hill after it, the series falls within a specific brand of early aughts programming on The WB following teenagers in quaint American towns where it always seems to be autumn.
Gilmore Girls Reminds Viewers of a Simpler Time Then there’s the obvious notion that Gilmore Girls resonates with people because it reminds them of a simpler, more innocent time in their lives. When life and the world get chaotic, settling into the familiar world of a favorite show feels like reconnecting with an old friend that brings us back to our youth.
Gilmore Girls also reflects that specific time of year when it’s not yet freezing, but we’ve bid adieu to the stifling heat of summer . The series symbolizes this change in the weather as the townspeople of Stars Hollow always seem to be gearing up for the colder months, marked by their signature charming and quirky town events. The themes of community, friendship, and motherhood tend to hit home more in the colder months.
