You needn’t go further than the show’s intro to see why this sleepy New England town sitcom exudes fall in every aspect of it. Everything from the outfits characters are wearing to the music playing in the background of Gilmore Girls is nothing short of the definition of fall. If you have yet to watch it, we’d recommend it for your fall viewing pleasure this year.
