Ranking Every Season Of The Gilmore Girls
By CAROLINE MADDEN
8. A Year in the Life
In 2016, Netflix gave Amy Sherman-Palladino the creative freedom to make a four-episode miniseries. It should have been a dream come true for "Gilmore Girls" fans.
The fatphobic jokes are unnecessarily cruel and dated and worst of all, we are robbed of seeing Luke and Lorelai's wedding because of "budget constraints.”
7. Season 7
"Gilmore Girls" season 7 is notorious for all the wrong reasons — mainly because it is the only season without Amy Sherman-Palladino and her partner Dan Palladino.
Without the Palladinos' signature style of dialogue that crackles and pops, breakneck-paced performances, and the pulse of pop culture, it just doesn't have that same spark.
6. Season 6
This season is such a hot mess that it caused fans to think that Amy Sherman-Palladino purposefully tanked the storylines as retaliation for not renewing her contract.
Season 6 just feels annoying and dour and puts the writers in a painful corner. The one bright spot is seeing Lorelai and Rory finally make up after their Season 5 fallout.
5. Season 5
This season is radically different and marks the start of Rory's unexpected downward spiral. She struggles and questions her identity after moving away from home.
The thrill of the long-awaited union of Luke and Lorelai. Their romantic relationship juxtaposed with the sadness of Rory and Lorelai's estrangement makes this season riveting.
4. Season 3
The Rory/Dean/Jess love triangle crashes and burns in season 3 — particularly during a dance marathon in one of the best episodes, "They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They?”
One of the highlights of this season is Dave Rygalski (Adam Brody), a sweet musician who reads the entire Bible to find a quote for Mrs. Kim so that he can take Lane to the prom.
