It's the most wonderful time of the year! So of course Haley had to have Georgia Clark on before the holidays are over. She's the author of Most Wonderful (see what I did?!)

Happy “I Smell Snow” Season! Winter has arrived: our beanies and scarves are on, the candy cane coffee is brewing, and winter break is upon us…even for the Gilmores. Long before Netflix picked up Gilmore girls, the WB slowly doled out our favorite show once a week before leaving us on a cliffhanger for weeks on end with a passé television practice: the Winter finale. You’ve heard us rank the seaso...

Haley has been saying it for years: Luke Danes is Emily Gilmore in a baseball cap. But HOW?! This week, Tara and Haley are building a pro/con list detailing all the parallels and differences between Emily and Luke to determine if they are in fact the same character in different outfits.

Where you call, we will answer! This week's episode has us considering your thoughts after us posing the question of whether or not Logan is more like Christopher or Lorelai. Some of you called in to plead your case for Lorelai, for Christopher, and for gender roles in high society playing a role in all of this.

Are Lorelai and Logan two sides of the same coin? We’ve been saying it for years and we’re finally ready to dive in.

Tied together by their past, their contentious relationship with their par...
