Gilmore Girls Online Reference Source

Introduction

There are many websites devoted to the WB/CW television show "Gilmore Girls" online these days. Most of them offer the same material over and over again: episode guides, cast biographies, etc. I wanted to make a site that offers something new, original and useful, as well as something with a purpose. I eventually hit on the idea of creating a reference source which chronicles all of the references made on this lovely show. If you're a fan, then you are aware of the constant volley of pop culture references, allusions, and other intelligent comments made each week on the show. "Gilmore Girls" is truly a case of pop culture and literacy working together to create a show this is highly entertaining and full of cool information all at once. This site catalogs all of these references--from those made in the very episode titles, to all the books, music, and movies/TV mentioned or seen on the show. This should not only been fun to peruse for the fan, but also an interesting study of the ways that a television show can be intelligent and educated in today's world. "Gilmore Girls" has a heart, which amazing characters and plots, but it also has a brain. What other show on air can reference Agent Orange, the Brady Bunch and Gogol all in one episode? This site will also include a video which is a short study of the relationship between music and television on a variety of shows, and how this compares to the relationship between music and literature.
