I'll be frank. I love the Gilmore Girls. I love the banter and the references and the fact that I feel smarter because I get some/most of them (except the music ones, I am horrible with music unless it's of the showtune variety)
There is a group of writers hell bent on keeping Gilmore Girls alive after the Season 7 finale, and they have collaborated to write fanfic in "episodes" as though the show hadn't been taken off the air.

"You know, between the kissing through the plastic wrap and the using a wooden hand to pet the dog and the Jim Dale voice-overs and the Kristin Chenoweth, this show may be too quirky even for us."
"Well, the Chenoweth does come with her very own Sam's Club-sized vat o'quirky."
"Which is probably bigger than she is," Rory laughed.
