Y'all may know I'm a huge Gilmore Girls fan, and even though the show ended its final season three years ago, that doesn't mean I don't check in on Stars Hollow now and then in reruns on ABC Family.
The show about a single Mom, a bookish daughter, their very wealthy relatives and the wacky townsfolk who live in their town was known for its heart, its humor and its first class acting and writing. I've always thought that if Gilmore Girls aired on a major network instead of the struggling WB, later the CW, Lauren Graham would be a household name and the show would have been a huge hit.

No matter, we had it while it lasted and we must be grateful for that.
And lately I've been thrilled to see quite a few former Gilmore Girls cast members all over primetime TV. That got me to thinking it was time for a "Where are they now?" Gilmore Girls post. So here it is.
Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore)
Lauren Graham co-stars on the NBC show Parenthood. She was a last minute replacement when Maura Tierney had to drop out of the show due to breast cancer. Parenthood is a decent show, but I find myself wanting to see more of Graham and less of all those other people in the show.
On a gossipy note, Graham and co-star Peter Krause are an item. They kept it a secret for a while but Graham confirmed the relationship recently.
Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore)
Alexis has been a busy little actress, what with all those Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies. Right now she's shooting Violet & Daisy, a film about two teen assassins. Co-starring with Alexis is Saoirse Ronan who made such a big splash in The Lovely Bones.
Melissa McCarthy (Sookie St. James)
Funny lady, Melissa McCarthy got a gig on Samantha Who? right as Gilmore Girls ended. And this season she stars in her own CBS show, Mike and Molly about a romance between two people who meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.
The show's been holding its own in the ratings but then got a huge publicity boost when some chick at Marie Claire decided to write about how she couldn't even think of watching the show because seeing two fat people making out is disgusting. Yeah, go figure.
Scott Patterson (Luke Danes)
After flaming out in the CW show Aliens in America, Scott seems to now have half a chance of sticking around for an entire season on NBC's The Event. Scott plays an airline pilot who's forced to try to kill the president after his daughters are kidnapped. There are aliens and guns and explosions and so far The Event is keeping my attention. But Scott's gotta talk to the hairstylists on the show 'cause that very black rug he's sporting on his head just ain't cuttin' it.
Edward Herrmann (Richard Gilmore)
Herrmann's a TV, movie and stage veteran that's likely to pop up just about anywhere. And listen to those TV commercials closely because you're also likely to hear his voiceovers.
But it was a reunion of sorts just recently when Herrmann guest starred on The Good Wife. That's because Matt Czuchry has co-starred on the show from the beginning. On Gilmore Girls Czuchry played Rory's last, and as far as I'm concerned, best boyfriend, Logan Huntzberger.
Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore)
Oh that
