鈥淕ilmore Girls鈥 fans were excited enough when the show became available on Netflix last month. Now there鈥檚 going to be a mini-reunion at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Tex.

鈥淕ilmore鈥 creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel will attend the festival this June, according to the . The festival will also include a reunion of the writers for another WB show, 鈥淒awson鈥檚 Creek,鈥 as well as appearances from HBO director of original programming Kathleen McCaffrey, showrunner Noah Hawley from the FX drama 鈥淔argo,鈥 and others.聽

As for the 鈥淕ilmore鈥 reunion, according to the , Sherman-Palladino said, 鈥淕ilmore was the highlight of my ridiculous life. I can't wait to sit with these unbelievable broads and relive a time where sleep did not exist, where stress and coffee were Mama's little helpers, and where we all dove into the deep end together to make something weird and very, very cool.鈥澛

鈥淕ilmore鈥 centered on mother Lorelai (Graham) and daughter Rory (Bledel) Gilmore, who are also best friends and live in the quirky Connecticut town of Stars Hollow. The cast also included Edward Herrmann and Kelly Bishop as Lorelai鈥檚 parents, with whom she had a difficult relationship, and Jared Padalecki of 鈥淪upernatural鈥 and 鈥淢ob City鈥 actor Milo Ventimiglia as Rory鈥檚 love interests.

In an interview with the Monitor soon after the show's debut, Sherman-Palladino noted the importance of Stars Hollow on the show.聽

鈥淚 never grew up with community and that idea is so charming to me, that I wanted Lorelai to have sought out a community where Rory could grow up protected and free,鈥 she said. 鈥淭he town has a personality.鈥澛

At the time of its premiere, Monitor television critic M.S. Mason called the show 鈥減romising.鈥

鈥淎 smart and funny comedy [with] a touch of 鈥楴orthern Exposure,鈥欌 Mason wrote of the show.

The show aired for seven seasons on first the WB, then the CW.
