At the 2025 Emmy Awards, “Gilmore Girls” stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel delighted fans with a brief reunion, as they presented the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. Standing on a set designed to resemble their show’s iconic porch, the duo engaged in the rapid-fire exchange of witty dialogue that fans have loved since the show’s debut 25 years ago. As they humorously reminisced about the show’s modest production budget, they underscored their appreciation for the creative richness that made the series a classic.
Graham and Bledel portrayed the beloved mother-daughter duo, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, whose dynamic was central to “Gilmore Girls.” Set in the quirky town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, the series chronicled Lorelai’s adventures as a single mother with aspirations of opening an inn, while managing family complexities, love interests, and her daughter’s academic ambitions. The show originally ran for seven seasons on the WB, and its enduring popularity led to a Netflix revival, “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,” revisiting the charming town and its beloved characters a decade later.
Coinciding with the series’ 25th anniversary, plans are underway for a documentary that will celebrate the cultural impact of “Gilmore Girls” and explore its legacy. The ongoing affection for the series suggests that now might be the perfect time for fans to rewatch the series and relive the mother-daughter moments that captivated audiences worldwide.
The Emmys have also been a venue for several nostalgic reunions, emphasizing the lasting bonds formed in the world of television. Just as Graham and Bledel reminisced, the ceremony featured other memorable meetings, such as between Ray Romano and Brad Garrett from “Everybody Loves Raymond,” highlighting the enduring power of television to create lasting connections. These reunions celebrate shows that have made a significant cultural impact and continue to resonate with viewers, showing both the power of nostalgia and the timeless appeal of storytelling.
