Here are articles on how to do various things Gilmore Girls fans may want to do, including how to find your way around Gilmore-ism.com.

Get Started With Gilmore Girls

Are you new to Gilmore Girls? Or do you want to introduce your friends and family to Gilmore Girls. Check out this Squidoo Lens: “Getting Started with Gilmore Girls”.

Catch Up on Gilmore Girls Episodes That You Haven't Seen Yet

I don’t live in the US, and I have to wait for GG to come out on DVD. Or, I missed such and such episode. How can I get caught up with the story?

I get a lot of email from fans who live in countries where they can’t get the latest Gilmore Girls episodes. If you watch GG on DVD but can’t get the current episodes— Or if you simply missed a recent episode. There are a few places you can go to find out what happened and get caught up.

It’s copyright infringement to share the video of the show, so I can’t recommend that you watch the episodes when they are posted on YouTube, or download them from USEnet or BitTorrent. In fact, when an episode is posted on YouTube, it’s only up a couple of days before it gets removed by the YouTube staff. Besides which, these videos are always of a lower quality than the DVDs.
However, you can read recaps of recent episodes on WGN’s site.
Also Jon and Cara at the Stars Hollow Podcast do an audio recap of each new episode. And when they get going with the banter, and Cara gets giggling… I don’t know what it is. I can’t keep from laughing, too.
