Here are some of the best episodes:

The Pilot- The show first aired on Oct. 5, 2000

The pilot shows Rory getting into the elite college-prep school Chilton, kickstarting her Ivy League dreams, as well as the beginning of Friday night dinners with Lorelai, Rory, Emily, and Richard. Together, the plot points create a rich foundation for the rest of the season and series at large, and they illustrate the complex relationships of the show.

“I Can’t Get Started” (Season 2, Episode 22)

Christopher and Lorelai finally reconnect, but their reunion is short-lived due to news he receives from his ex-girlfriend, Sherry.

Leaving us with the burning question of what the heck is going to happen with Dean?

“Partings” (Season 6, Episode 22)

This was the last episode that show producer and writer wrote and after that the show changed forever.

Rory does what every sensible girlfriend would do and throws him a big party before he leaves.
