I’ve never seen an entire episode of “Oprah.”
Or “Survivor.”
Or “Big Brother.”
I have, however, seen every season of “Gilmore Girls” ten times each. Seriously. I’m addicted. Whenever someone tells me they, too, watch the show I feel an instant connection. You know, the I WANT TO DRY HUMP YOUR LEG connection.
Luckily for my vagina I don’t often meet people who are as obsessed with the show as I am. Which is probably why my entire office thinks I have Tourette’s syndrome.
Co-workers have two things they can bond over: television shows, and how much they hate their boss. Every day at lunch my co-workers gather to eat lunch and talk about the previous night’s TV. I never have anything to contribute so I randomly quote “Gilmore Girls.”
“Were you confused with the John Locke plot on “Lost” last night?”
“Uncle Ernie hugged me too long.”
“Sarah, what are you talking about?”
“Go Hitler.”
“Seriously, Sarah, what’s wrong with you?”
“Kropogs? Did someone say kropogs?”
“Whatever. We’re ignoring everything you say.”
At this point I dramatically exit the break room with one final quote, “I’m going to make out in the coat room. Don’t eat my chicken.”
I have to rush out of the room to prevent having food thrown at me. People are funny about their TV talk. It’s weird, because they can tolerate my constant ‘your mom’ and ‘that’s what she said’ jokes, but the minute I distract their TV conversations I’m the bad guy.
I guess it’s really a blessing.
The last thing I need is to be humping fellow “Gilmore Girls” fans at the office.

Um. If you haven’t seen Gilmore Girls, you’re an asshole.
I LOVE YOU PAUL ANKA!

I guess I’m an asshole because I’ve never seen an episode of Gilmore Girls. Graham LOVES Lorelai, though. She’s his tv girlfriend.

I actually get upset when I miss an episode during the week. Ya know…the ones I’ve watched over and over and over again in syndication. They just restarted the series again yesterday :-)

IT’S PIPPI!!! I love that show. I own all the DVDs but I have only watched them twice… For the record, though, LOST is mind-blowingly amazing in a totally different way.

You can come hump my leg anytime. I LURVE Gilmore Girls and cry a little every time I see a re-run, because it’s not on anymore.

i’ve never seen gilmore girls and now feel i’ve missed out. this post was funny nonetheless.
i am def going to watch that new series parenthood with lauren graham though. do i get points for that?

EVERYTHING about that show was awesomeness. I miss it dearly.
“I stop drinking coffee, then I stop doing the standing, walking and the words-putting-into-sentence-doing.” So true.
I hear he controls the weather and wrote the screenplay to Glitter!

So, I guess this is the place where I can unabashedly admit that I immediately knew which episode every one of those quotes came from!
OMG I LOVE GILMORE GIRLS!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! You can totally hump my leg. I would love it. :-)

Ahhhh one of my favorite shows of all time! For some reason, I don’t know a single person who likes it but me. I had the bf buy me season 2 for my bday. Awesome shit.
Has anbody seen Pierpont?
My mom loves that show.
Quick! Someone get me season 1. I want to be dry humped! (by Sarah only please, freaks need not apply)
Best show EVER. *sigh* I own most of the seasons on DVD, but still tune into Soap Network and watch on the weekends. I heart them.
I wish we were co-workers, because I instantly knew each of those quotes, and would love to spend a lunch (every lunch?) hashing over GG. ;) One of the top greatest shows ever.
I hope this admission does not get me banned from Aiming Low for life: I have never seen an entire episode of Gilmore Girls. The small parts I have seen? No, just no. I loved Dawson’s Creek. I was all about wanting to lick Pacey Witter. :)

I’ve never watched it, but now will probably go buy all the DVDs…because that’s how seriously I take recommendations. It’s ridiculous. I am with you though. I don’t watch Survivor or Amazing race or Biggest Loser. MY guilty SHAMEFUL SHAMEFUL show? America’s Next Top Model. I know….it’s pathetic, right?
Its not just me?! Its the only tv i watch, at least 3 eps a day.
favourite quote : “oye with the poodles already”
I love the skit with the anvils and also meeting pennilyn lott!
I saw this post at the top of the page and gasped, and made my cat jump haha
Love, Love LOVE Gilmore Girls. My husband clearly doesn’t understand the genius behind the show-he just complains about the witty banter. I know, I know. I have no idea why we are still married.

Gilmore Girls DVD (pick a season, any season) + A Bottle of Wine + Empty House = HEAVENLY!
Oy w/the poodles already!
I love some Gilmore Girls and actually just started the series over last night while attempting to start a crochet project.
And PIE!

I love you… Is that wrong to say? Because I do!

You can hump my leg any day!
One of my favorite shows of all time. I officially want to be a member of the ‘Life and Death Brigade’!
That’s like me and Family Guy. Everything can be related to an episode of Family Guy. Or Seinfeld, but that’s rolling old school.

Gilmore Girls is on my list of shows to watch on DVD so until then, my heart firmly belongs to Felicity, My So-Called Life and Freaks and Geeks. Please don’t hate me because we’ll be roomies at BlogHer and that would be really awkward!

“It’s a long story. I don’t really wanna go into all the whats and whys and gory details right now… and to figure out exactly what happened, you’d have to dig up Freud himself and have him work on me full time.”
I LOVE Gilmore Girls.!
BEST SHOW EVER!!! I have all seven seasons on DVD and I DVR them everyday on ABC Family – it’s what I watch right before I drift off to lala land!!!
I miss the Gilmore Girls SO MUCH! I just watched the series finale on ABCFAM the other day and got all teary eyed. Again. Why, WHY did that show have to end?
Twitter Name: lpgill
Gilmore Girls…I love you. I was pissed at how it ended….and basically that it ended.
LOVE the quotes.
“I need caffeine. Whatever form you’ve got. I haven’t had any all day. I’ll drink it, shoot it, eat it, snort is. Whatever form its in, gimme.”
This is what blogging is all about.
“Just once I’d like to be able to say, “yeah, I’m not feeling so good. My leg is haunted.”
Dude, best show ever.
They just flipped and showed the pilot on Family Channel – but you probably knew that already.
And I just made a reference to Stars Hollow’s Hay Bale Maze in my status update just now.
Good to see Logan’s working as a lawyer now and I had no idea that his dad was once Chief of Surgery at Seattle Gray.
you know, sarah, it’s a shame we don’t work together. as i think that you may be just as gilmore girls obsessed as me. and guess what? i live in SLC. i think i’m even your neighbor. in fact, i think you and i should get sugarhouse renamed stars hollow and have luke open a luke’s so we can stop by for coffee every morning with lorelai and rory.
considering the nonsense that the legislature is currently passing, surely we can get them to agree to our little gilmore girls plan. especially if we just speak as fast as lorelai and rory and insist that whatever they say is “imperialist propaganda!” Or perhaps we can let them get all Condoleeza Rice to our Barbara Boxer. The point is…we should be working together. This is my ONLY television show. And I don’t even have a television.

When you lead, I will follow. Anywhere that you tell me too.

This show is genius.

Twitter Name: nannyanya
Love, love, love Gilmore Girls…still watch every day…cried when it ended…hated how it ended..hubby however doesn’t get it…calls it the gabmore girls…just shakes his head and walks away…I miss Kirk
gilmore girls is my favorite show, as well. i’ve watched every episode 6 times, at least. it’s a shame that it ended.
“Ah! Pasquale, the Maestro! My God, you look virile today. Are you sure your wife won’t share you?”
Oh! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gilmore Girls. And now I LOVE LOVE LOVE you for loving Gilmore Girls. Is that weird? Oh, I don’t care.
I know I am apparently late commenting on this… But I couldn’t help it after I read this particular post…
I recently bonded with my a few of my office mates about GG! Good to know I’m not the only person who gets *excited* when other people say they watch that show too… : ) culs-de-sac –who says that anyway?
