The Big Picture Anyone who’s watched TV’s favorite mother-daughter love story, Gilmore Girls, has to admit that they’ve dreamed about living in Stars Hollow at least once. The fictional blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Connecticut town is home to a whole slew of quirky characters and one picturesque gazebo that made us all envy the quaint life within the tight-knit community. However, despite the small-town charm and hilarity that Gilmore Girls showed off in spades, the show is far from perfect.

'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' Reinforces the Show's Body-Shaming in Its "Summer" Episode Close Before we delve into all the missteps made in A Year in the Life, let’s go back to Stars Hollow circa the early aughts. Something that ran particularly rampant during this era is the alarming amount of body-shaming.

Related The ‘Gilmore Girls’ Storyline That Was Doomed From the Start We didn’t follow where the show led during this storyline. Jump to Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Episode 3, and a now older, but obviously not wiser, Lorelai and Rory sit by the community pool and shamelessly berate anybody who walks by and has a body they don’t like looking at.

Related Rory’s Baby Daddy Reveal Actually Makes the ‘Gilmore Girls’ Revival Worse This relationship was not the one we were rooting for. One of the only new characters introduced in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life who is a person of color is played by Rose Abdoo, who played the grumpy mechanic, Gypsy, in the original Gilmore Girls.
