The iconic comedy-drama series "Gilmore Girls" premiered on The WB in 2000. It stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, alongside a supporting cast that includes the likes of Melissa McCarthy, Scott Patterson, Kelly Bishop, Edward Herrmann and Keiko Agena rounding out the central cast. In 2007, after spending seven seasons with these denizens of Stars Hollow and Hartford, Connecticut, the show bid its fans farewell. Thankfully, the syndication of "Gilmore Girls" on TV and then on streaming platforms like Netflix has allowed its fandom to keep growing over the years. "Gilmore Girls" has become "way more popular," as Graham revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." "It's fun because different groups of people are finding it and different generations," she added.

The witty, fast-talking series was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who wrote the first six seasons with her husband, Daniel Palladino. In 2006, because of issues behind the scenes, the couple exited the series, leaving behind a legacy of 131 episodes. The show's final season, which consists of 22 episodes, bringing the total to 153, is infamous for its absence of that Sherman-Palladino magic touch. This, of course, explains why only one episode from Season 7 made it onto this list, while the other 29 fan-favorite and critically praised episodes come from the Sherman-Palladino era of the series.

Whether you're watching "Gilmore Girls" for the first time or the billionth time, you're going to love these outstanding episodes.
