"There’s a lot to dislike, but here’s what it gets right." There are three kinds of mothers in “ Gilmore Girls ” — the cool mom, the mean mom and the mean immigrant mom. Nobody wants to be the mean mom or the mean immigrant mom. Heck, nobody wants to dress like them either. St. John’s knits, pearls and heels a la Emily Gilmore? No, thank you. Double no thank you to Mrs. Kim’s wardrobe, whatever that blue lab coat over a buttoned-all-the-way-to-the-top blouse and modest skirt situation even is.
