Um, nope, Jess—Rory did the opposite of graduating. But you know who DID graduate and then some? Doogie Howser, M.D. We check out the Neil Patrick Harris teen doctor dramedy that was not at all what we were expecting. How did every episode of this show feel like a Very Special Episode? What does NPH think of the show now? And does Doogie have anything in common with Rory? Other pop culture we ref: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Full House; Chris Evans; Friends; Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.; How I Met Your FatherWe Wholeheartedly Recommend: The Stand-In (2020), The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)Check us out on Instagram!

ep 121: You graduate already, Doogie? (Doogie Howser, M.D.)

We're a podcast attempting to keep up with the pop culture references on Gilmore Girls. Each episode, we chose a new reference from the show, be it a movie, tv show, or work out guru, dive into the media, and explain to you and ourselves what Lorelai meant by it.

TV Reviews

Because Barbra is queen! In the first pop culture ref of our final season, we finally watch and discuss The Way We Were. This '70s weepy features a Palladino-esque heroine, Robert Redford in a cable knit sweater, heartache, laugher, and Communism all in one neat package! We discuss the cultural changes in parenting since the 1970s, why the Gilmores reference this movie several times in the series, and, yes, Robert Redford in that cable knit sweater.
