The writers of parenthood were really big Gilmore Girls fans

While I think Lorelai was a far better parent than Sarah Braverman, some of the character similarities are so funny

1. Dates her kids’ English teacher AND gets caught kissing at school
2. Breaks up with said teacher, gets back together and gets engaged to him
3. Doesn’t get married to the English teacher but to the grumpy guy she sees everyday
4. Said grumpy guy has a 12 year old daughter and a baby mamma moving the daughter out of state
