With the new series of Gilmore Girls coming out in a couple of days, I've returned to watching one of my favorite shows. A show that I would usually describe as family friendly that gives you warm fuzzies at the end, with conflicts in the plot that magically feel resolved even if they aren't actually addressed. Basically it's perfect for someone like me, who loves happy endings and the unrealistic expectations of the perfect life in a small town community. As I've been getting farther in the show however, I've been noticing more and more moments where the characters are surprisingly sassy and I love how witty everyone is (just another thing to add to the unrealistic charm of a small town). Thus, I present to you ten times Gilmore Girls got a little too real with us.
1. Move along folks, there's nothing to see here.

2. When Rory gives us some perspective...
3. You totally can't tell my love life is obsolete at the moment at all.

4. But just in case that changes anytime soon, here's some advice.
5. When Rory helps us realize we may need an actual life plan.

8. Emily doesn't have time for your tomfoolery.
9. My absolute favorite moment, when Rory shot Paris a snarky-iest of responses.
10. Come on Dean, get with the program, Gilmore Girls isn't just any old show.
