The little things that make 'Gilmore Girls' even better
What's the story
Gilmore Girls was a witty TV show set in a charming small town, and we all loved it. While most of us enjoyed the main stories, there are a lot of things that only the keenest of eyes might have caught. These are the little things that add dimension to the character and make it even more enjoyable. Here, we revisit some of them that make Gilmore Girls a must-watch, again and again.
Town sign
The ever-changing town sign
One interesting detail in Gilmore Girls is the town sign of Stars Hollow. It changes throughout the series. The sign often reflects quirky messages or updates about town events, which adds an extra layer of humor and charm to each episode. This evolving sign serves as a testament to the dynamic nature of Stars Hollow and its residents.
Fashion evolution
Lorelai's evolving fashion choices
We also can't ignore Lorelai Gilmore's fashion choices. Her outfits are not just fashionable, but they also tell the story of her character development. From the hotchpotch of outfits in earlier seasons to the sophisticated ensembles later on, her wardrobe reflects her growth and changing priorities. Observant viewers can even trace Lorelai's journey through these subtle changes in her clothes.
Book collection
Rory's book collection growth
Rory Gilmore's love for books has been documented to the core, and her ever-growing collection of books throughout the series serves as a testament to it. Each book she reads or mentions gives us a glimpse into her intellectual pursuits and interests at different points in life. Observant fans can easily spot literary classics as well as contemporary works lining Rory's shelves.
Diner menu
Luke's Diner menu changes
Luke's Diner serves as a central hub in Stars Hollow where so many scenes play out over coffee or meals. If you have a keen eye, you'll notice that Luke's menu changes every now and then, with new items making an appearance or disappearing over time without much fanfare from the characters themselves. It adds realism by reflecting how real diners adapt their offerings based on customer preferences or seasonal availability.
Kirk's jobs
Kirk's many jobs
Kirk Gleason is memorable for his many jobs in Stars Hollow, from mailman to DJ, and he's always up for another one when required. His incessant hopping from one job to another not only adds to the comic relief but also proves how versatile he is. It also shows how small-town life gives Kirk opportunities he might not find elsewhere. They're easily accessible outside such close-knit communities like theirs.
