Gilmore Girls is one of the best series out there to watch on Mother’s Day, but we narrowed it down to five fantastic episodes for this special day.

If you’ve never seen Gilmore Girls before, then Mother’s Day is the perfect time to watch it for the first time. I envy you, actually, if you haven’t gotten to experience the magic of Stars Hollow before. I wish I could experience the series for the first time all over again!

For those of you who are Gilmore Girls aficionados, maybe you just want to revisit some of the most iconic mother-daughter moments of the series, whether it is between Rory and Lorelai, Lorelai and Emily, or even Mrs. Kim and Lane, there is definitely something for everyone.

Here are five of the best Gilmore Girls episodes to watch on Mother’s Day:

5. Season 3, Episode 7 – “They Shoot Gilmores, Don’t They?”

This episode is considered one of the best of the series, and one of the most popular.

Most fans remember it vividly because it is the episode where Rory and Jess officially start dating, but more than it contains one of the many fun Stars Hollow town events — the 24-hour dance marathon. Lorelai is eager to win this year and finally defeat the reigning champion, Kirk.

But her partner bows out at the last second, and she turns to her only other option, Rory. Rory is reluctant to partake but eventually gives in to her mother’s whims.

Aside from that, other subplots include Lane and Dave attempting to meet up between serving egg sandwiches at the dance marathon with Mrs. Kim, and Sookie and Jackson bicker about having four-in-four (four kids in four years).
