Frequent TV Squad readers know about my undying love for Gilmore Girls. Newbies, you're about to get a taste (and you can thank ABC Family's endless slate of GG reruns for this post).

Since the show ended its seven-year run in 2007, I've been following the careers of stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel very closely. Graham won raves earlier this year for her Broadway debut as a nightclub singer in a revival of Guys & Dolls. Things were looking up for the talented actress until ABC recently decided not to pick up her new sitcom, but Graham continues to show up in supporting roles on the big screen.

She's currently starring opposite Jeff Daniels in The Answer Man. The film received some pretty scathing reviews for its sappy story but, not surprisingly, most critics praised Graham and Daniels' performances. Fans missing their weekly dose of Graham can look for it playing in select cities.

Let's hope Bledel has better luck with the upcoming Post Grad, a comedy about a college graduate who can't get a job and is forced to move back in with her family. (Think of it as Reality Bites but with less angst. And less Lisa Loeb.) I was hoping Bledel would take on a more serious role for her next project after her turn in the ER season finale, but at least its not another Traveling Pants movie. Post Grad also stars Michael Keaton, Glee's Jane Lynch and Zach Gilford, aka Friday Night Lights's Matt Saracen. Check out the trailer below:



Post Grad hits theaters August 21. What do you think, Gilmore fans? Will you be there opening day, or is it time to start a letter-writing campaign for a Gilmore Girls reunion flick?
