Luke & Lorelai: Best First Date

Ology.com put together a Valentine’s Day list celebrating the Best and Worst First Dates on TV, including first and foremost as “best” the first date between Luke & Lorelai:

After seven years of friendship (and a couple near misses), grumpy diner owner Luke and chatty Lorelai finally go out on a date. But considering the foundation these two have built up, it’s no surprise that this isn’t a casual date: Luke reveals that he’s kept a horoscope that Lorelai jokingly wrote down for him–”You will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she will go away.”–in his wallet for seven years. “I’m all in,” he tells her seriously. Seeing as the date ends at his apartment, obviously things go well. Then, in true Gilmore fashion, the whole town finds out and takes sides in the event of a Luke/Lorelai break-up. Still, they mean well, and we were so delighted to see these crazy kids finally make it work.

“I’m all in.” So classic. So amazing.

Luke & Lorelai a “Best TV Couple of All Time”

Luke & Lorelai made the list of TV Guide’s “Best TV Couples of All Time,” coming in on the list of 25 at #15.

“How can you not be with a guy who serves you breakfast (and lots and lots of coffee) every morning? Luke and Lorelai were believable as sparring partners, and even moreso as a couple. Things unraveled toward the end, but the series finale gave us hope that L&L were on their way to rekindling their romance. ”

Thanks Katherine & Chelsea!

Max Medina a “Hot Teacher”

Buddy TV put together another list featuring a Gilmore Girls reference. The “Hot for Teacher: TV’s Sexiest Faculty Members” places Max Medina in at #15 on the list, saying:

“When Lorelai left him shortly before their wedding, it was clearly a case of “It’s not you, it’s me,” because there’s no reason to leave a man who talked so good.”

He may not have been Luke, but he was one of my favorites for Lorelai!

Gilmore Girls in Parisian Adventures List

Buddy TV just put together a list of the The French Connection: 10 Great TV Parisian Adventures listing a series of 10 shows that have visited France.

In that list, as you’d expect, is the time when Lorelai & Christopher took that trip to Paris… and got married!

Good quip in the post:

“Of course, the marriage was ill-fated, but hey, they’ll always have Paris … Geller.”

Gilmore Girls’ Memorable Love Triangles

Beliefnet recently put together a list of the “Top 10 Movie/TV Love Triangles” in honor of the Eclipse release. The list includes, however, an homage to Gilmore Girls… to the TWO major love triangles of the series.

Rory, Dean, and Jess from ‘Gilmore Girls.’

Watching Rory fall for beautiful boy Dean, her first love, was so sweet, but when the brilliant, bad-boy Jess came to Stars Hollow, he took romance to a whole other level, and turned out to be a better, if not more tumultuous match for Rory.

Lorelai, Max, and Luke from ‘Gilmore Girls.

Luke might be perpetually rough around the edges, but his gruff yet utterly vulnerable charm was leagues above clean cut, English teacher Max. It just took Lorelai forever to realize it.

I’m surprised the latter was Max and not Christopher!!

Luke & Lorelai in “Most Anticipated TV Kisses”

Luke & Lorelai of Gilmore Girls have landed themselves in BuddyTV’s “Most Anticipated TV Kisses” list.
