‘Gilmore Girls’ at 25: L.A. fans get a taste of Stars Hollow

Lauren Perlmutter – Superfan Gilmore Girls. Over the past 10 years, she watched a show on a loop. This was mainly in chronological order, and sometimes just in the background, while it works on something else, but it longs for the comforting acquaintance of the show.

“It looks like my bowl of chicken with noodles,” she said.

23 -year -old Perlmutter, like many fans of his beloved series, was born after he first made his debut on October 5, 2000 on WB. Her mother, Joel, from time to time caught the Gilmore Girls when she was broadcast, and she presented this to her daughter years, more intently observing her new viewing partner.

The series, in which Lauren Graham starred in the role of Lorela Gilmore, a young single mother, and Alexis Mindel in the role of her teenage daughter Rory, loves with his witty letter and charm of the small city of his fictional situation, stars of Hollow, Conn.

Fans pass through a recreated arbor, as in a fictional city of a star city. Gilmore Girls are located in Connecticut, but most of the filming took place in a warehouse in Warner Bros. Studios in Berbank.

Like Gilmores, Perlmutters created a tradition on Friday evening, except that instead of a stressed (mandatory) dinner with three generations, the steam will cause episodes of the show and enjoy high -quality time together.

Lauren said she saw herself in the book Rory.

“I was so academically oriented. I became very difficult, and I was a farewell at the University of California at the University of California, and [my mom] Whether it was in the audience, and we made the same persons that they did during the release of Rory, and I had a speech very similar to Rory, ”she said,“ “The opportunity to educate this background story about how two women brought up, and then transferred to my life with my mother simply special.”

Although their tense graphs make it difficult to maintain their traditions weekly – Loren studies in graduate school at Pepperdine Training to become a therapist (although she once considered the possibility of pursuing journalism, such as Rory) – Perlmutters for a random party on Friday evening.

In the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the show, the television group Warner Bros. organized an exciting pop -up event in the grove, which promised to give fans “weekend in star pulses” with many rectors and autumn decor. Perlmutters were the first in line on Saturday morning, even with their trip from the San Fernando Valley.

Despite the noticeable sign “without mobile phones”, like the one from the diner hatch, fans could not help without taking selfie and video fees. The “Play Stars” gazebo, the famous city sign, a replica of the beloved jeep Wrangler Lorelai and an exhibition of 1000 daisies from the scene of a romantic sentence in the first season, were popular cameras, and visitors conducted a bicycle through the hatch to grab coffee and donuts. And a lot of thematic goods-with typical stickers, hats and mugs to superceptic objects, such as lorelai's inn-lorela's baths, it was available for purchase.

While the fan base mainly consists of women, some men also enjoy the show. As one husband and father, who attended the event with his more enthusiastic wife and daughters, said, “each person is in love with Lorelai.”

“Gilmore Girls” was also shot by Melissa McCarthy in the role of Syuka Saint -James, a longtime friend Lorela and a chef in the hotel that she controls; Scott Patterson in the role of a tubular, but attractive owner of the same name by the Dain's snack hatch; Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrmann in the role of Emily and Richard Gilmore, parents of Lorelai (very traditional); And Keiko Agen in the role of Lane Kim, the favorite rock music of Rory. It was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who continued to create the popular series “Wonderful Mrs. Miseel” and several other large projects.

During its initial launch from 2000 to 2007, the series was popular among the audience, but not so much among critics. The show was nominated only for one Emmy in seven years – one for the makeup that it won.

Seri Ferrante and Winona Parks, long -standing friends who both work on television, said that they suspect that the lack of recognition of the critics received in the series may be associated with a small size of the WB network, where he went on the air, and the probability that his budget on the award campaign was small.

“I always voted for this,” said Ferrante, “but it was like an emission.”

Nevertheless, as they prove that many young fans at the celebration of the Saturdays in The Grive “Gilmore Girls” found abundant second life through streaming services.

Brittana Chakon, a 22-year-old girl from the middle of the city, said that she found a series when she continued to appear on her feed Tiktok a year ago. It was autumn, which, according to her, is an ideal time for viewing – and many fans agree. (The show receives Seasonal impulse in streaming Ratings every year, according to Nilsen.)

The young crop of fans makes Ferrantee “feel old,” she said, “but then it makes me feel connected with another generation.”

While most fans said that they return to the show repeatedly or from the corresponding plot lines, a sharp letter or friendly comfort of their favorite characters, for some it also acts as a textbook for difficult conversations between mothers and daughters.

“This helped me talk with her about things that it is not easy to talk about – dates, relationships, growth,” said Susie from Glendeil. Her 13-year-old daughter Ella, who began and finished the show during the summer, confidently established herself as a member of the Jess team, referring to various camps of fans of support for guys Rory throughout the show.

“I think this is amazing that it is between generations and that I can show my daughter and that she resonates with her. She is at the age when she should attend classes on sexual education, and it was not very useful, but it was much useful, ”Susie said when Ella burst out.

Regardless of which team fans belong to Rory’s guys or which of the memorable repeating characters are their loved ones, most of them may agree that they want to see more gilmors and star field.

In 2016, many original actors and creators reunited to make the mini -revival, Gilmore Girls: a year in life. In the Netflix series there were four episodes representing four seasons to continue the history of the Gilmore family several years later. While it was hotly expected, it was not particularly accepted Critics and fans, because some felt that the characters seemed to deviate from their main attributes and values ​​that made them so sweet.

So, more than two decades after the start of history, many fans require another piece of stars, an empty life. Graham, who reunited with Bledel on stage at Emmy award last month, said on the red carpet that she would like the idea Christmas film “Gilmore Girls”Field

Regardless of whether the story continues in one form or another, Gilmore Girls is considered one of The best series of all time And Lorelaus and Rory will continue to nourish the conversations between mothers and daughters for future generations.

Eleneni Zuvo, who was present at the Saturday event with her sister, her mother and her 9-month-old daughter Amelia (with a lurk pink in the diner), said that she hoped to revise the show with her daughter when time came.

“I think she will like it.”
