'Gilmore Girls' - Season 1 Trivia Questions

1. When Dean broke up with Rory for the first time, what did Kirk say he didn't like about Dean?

From Quiz
'Gilmore Girls' Season 1

Answer: His floppy hairstyle

In season 1 episode 17, the town finds out the night after Dean breaks up with Rory. They all start consoling her by saying the never liked him the first place. Kirk goes up to Rory in Luke's diner and says he never liked Dean. He said "I don't know exactly what it was, something about the shape of his forehead, or his height, or his floppy hairstyle." Finally he settles on the floppy hairstyle. He saids he was sorry he hadn't voiced his concerns about the hairstyle earlier.

2. Why doesn't Lorelai have any baby pictures?

From Quiz "Gilmore Girls": "Emily in Wonderland"

Answer: Lorelai burned them all.

For a school project, Rory asks Emily for some of Lorelai's baby pictures. Sadly, Emily says when Lorelai was seven she burned them all because she thought she had an "unusually large head".

3. In the beginning of the episode, who does Lorelai say is outside?

From Quiz "Love, Daisies, and Troubadours"

Answer: The freaking Blue Man Group

When she wakes up Lorelai yells, "Dear God Almighty Mr. Mirkle!" then goes into Rory's room and wakes Rory up and tells her "The freaking Blue Man Group is outside our house!" Rory who was asleep tells Lorelai to go away. Lorelai goes outside and finds Luke hammering on the porch rail.

4. What color are the note pads that Rory says she doesn't want to get?

From Quiz "The Deer Hunters"

Answer: Purple

Lorelai suggests the purple note pads because they are on sale but Rory says she can't get them. She can't get them because purple wouldn't be considered serious at Chilton, her new school where everything is serious.

5. At the beginning of the episode, Emily tells Lorelai that which family member has died?

From Quiz Cinnamon's Wake

Answer: Claudia

Lorelai has no memory of Claudia, even though Emily tells her that she went with them to Claudia's to watch the first moon landing. Given that, there is good reason why Lorelai has no memory of this. This episode aired in the year 2000 and, later in season one, it is established that Lorelai is 32. Since the moon landing took place in 1969, Lorelai was only one year old at the time, so it is unlikely that she has any memory of the landing.

6. Why are Lorelai and Rory collecting items from the town at their house?

From Quiz 1.13 "Concert Interruptus"

Answer: charity rummage sale

Stars Hollow wants to raise money to repair an aging local bridge. Lorelai not only brought up the idea to the town, but offered to house the items until the sale. Lorelai herself had a hard time parting with most of her old clothes, so Rory snatched a chunk of items from her closet to donate.

7. "Forgiveness and Stuff"- When Rory suggests a new doll for the part of baby Jesus, she is told that the current doll had been used since what year?

From Quiz Three For One- Season One "Gilmore Girls"

Answer: 1965

The poor doll was missing an arm, and Rory could not locate it inside the box. It turned out that the missing arm was in a dog's mouth.

8. At their Friday dinner, Lorelai shows distaste for which two fruits?

From Quiz 1.9 "Rory's Dance"

Answer: avocado and tomato

No corrections please, as I did research that these are all fruits and none are vegetables. Fruit: "the ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant, together with accessory parts, containing the seeds and occurring in a wide variety of forms." -according to www.dictionary.com. Vegetables do not contain seeds that would regrow the plant, and potatoes are tubers (roots) that are edible. Grandpa was in Prague during this episode, so it was just the three Gilmore women at dinner. Lorelai only truly disliked avocados, but did not enjoy her tomato once it "fraternized with the enemy". The tomato had avocado meat on it.

9. Though Emily Gilmore thought her cook was named Mira, we find out at the Friday dinner that it is really ______.

From Quiz 1.3 Please "Kill Me Now"!

Answer: Sarah

Emily called her Mira a few times, but Lorelai only had to say it once, be corrected, and never say it again. They went on to discuss recently removed cooks Heidi, Trina, Sophia and Anton.

10. What is the purpose of the game the girls are playing at the start of the episode?

From Quiz "P.S. I Lo..."

Answer: To see who they're going to marry

The game is played by the girls looking at the various men who pass by their window, and they have to choose between three men - they can say no to the first two, but they then have to take the third, and that's who they marry. The game "One, two three, he's yours!" is played to try and cheer Rory up (she had just broken up with Dean), but it turned the other way - Rory's number one turned out to be Dean.

11. At the start of this episode, what food item does Dean bring to the girls' house?

From Quiz "That Damn Donna Reed"

Answer: Pizza

Food is always a good thing to bring when coming to the Gilmore house - if you don't, they might eat you instead.

12. Who was the message on the answering machine from?

From Quiz "Love And War And Snow"- Oh My!

Answer: Max

The first words you heard on the answering machine were, "Hi it's Max." He told Lorelai that they had missed each other again, that he had called at 2 in the afternoon, and that he wanted to go on that date they kept talking about but had never went on.

13. What major event occurred in the grocery store?

From Quiz "Kiss and Tell" - In the Grocery Store!

Answer: Dean kissed Rory

Rory and Dean were standing in the "ant spray" aisle, and Rory was holding cornstarch in her hand. Dean had asked her how she felt about some free soda, and she accepted the offer. Than Dean tried to make Rory guess which hand he was holding the soda in (both were behind his back). Rory was commenting on how the whole point of free soda is that you don't have to work to get it, but Dean told her to just guess. As soon as Rory started to blab out a long explanation as to which hand it was in, Dean leaned in and kissed Rory. Rory looked up, and ran out of the store just like that, cornstarch still in hand, and without her free soda.

14. What time was it when Rory woke Lorelai up on the first day of school?

From Quiz The Lorelais' First Day At Chilton

Answer: 7:10

Lorelai had set her furry alarm clock for six, but it did not purr on time. Rory barged into Lorelai's room at 7:10 to wake her up, insisting that she must get out of bed now. Rory was worried that if she did not get to school on time, she would be known as "the late girl" for te rest of the year.

15. When was Stars Hollow founded?

From Quiz "Gilmore Girls" - 'Pilot'

Answer: 1779

Lorelai walked down the sidewalk and passed a sign that said "Stars Hollow Founded 1779".

16. What does Tristan call Rory?

From Quiz 'Gilmore Girls' Season 1

Answer: Mary

On Rory's first day of Chilton, Tristan arrives late. He sits in his seat and asks the guy in front of him who she was. He then starts calling her Mary. Rory later tells Lorelai about the annoying kid who called her Mary. Lorelai said that meant they she looked innocent. Like Virgin Mary, and if they thought was slut they would've called her Mary Magdeline.

17. What does sleep do for Lorelai?

From Quiz "Love, Daisies, and Troubadours"

Answer: Makes her pretty

She tells Luke that "Luke, we sleep around here. Okay, we like it. It makes us pretty and keeps us from killing our crazy friends."

18. Which two students got As on their papers?

From Quiz "The Deer Hunters"

Answer: Paris and Louise

Mr. Medina points out how Louise and Paris both wrote great papers, both of which were A's, and Madeline tells Paris she got a B. Rory's paper can be seen with red marks all over it and a D at the top.

19. Rory is worried about which Chilton event taking place later that day?

From Quiz Cinnamon's Wake

Answer: Bake sale

Lorelai is getting Sookie to make the items they will have at the bake sale, so she has everything covered. It is, at this bake sale, that Lorelai agrees to meet Max socially for the first time.

20. Which town items did Lorelai buy for herself?

From Quiz 1.13 "Concert Interruptus"

Answer: shirt and a hat

She bought a shirt Luke donated and an interesting greenish cowboy style hat. I cannot say it was a cowboy hat because it looked too trendy. Sadly, it turned out that the sweater belonged to Luke's ex-girlfriend Rachel, whom Lorelai never knew anything about. The red and black halter top is the first item Lorelai refused to allow Rory to donate, as she'd had it since she was 17 years old. The bandanas she wore in the episode, one red and one green and both with rhinestones, already belonged to her.

21. "Forgiveness and Stuff"- We hear Dean's new nickname in this episode, given to him because he and Rory fell asleep inside Miss Patty's. What is that new nickname?

From Quiz Three For One- Season One "Gilmore Girls"

Answer: Narcolepsy Boy

Narcolepsy is a disorder in which people fall into deep spontaneous sleep for brief periods of time. He and Rory had been in Miss Patty's reading, but fell asleep and spent the entire night there.

22. Rory and Lane walked over to Doose's market so that Rory could ask Dean to go to the Chilton Winter Formal with her. Which item did Rory help Dean stock on the shelves?

From Quiz 1.9 "Rory's Dance"

Answer: green beans

Dean admitted that he'd never been to a dance before, and that he was not inclined to go to one now. But, he saw how much Rory really did want to go and agreed to be her date.

23. Jackson arrives at the inn and tells Sookie to "open your mouth and close your eyes for something truly amazing". Which two fruits had Jackson cross-pollinated to make a new flavor?

From Quiz 1.6 "Rory's Birthday Parties"

Answer: raspberry and kumquat

Sookie was trying to define the flavor for Lorelai, and described it as a berry, but more exotic. Jackson was very proud of himself and even gave Michel a little sassing.

24. Who is Donna Reed?

From Quiz "That Damn Donna Reed"

Answer: A television mom

Donna Reed is, according to the Gilmore girls, one of the perfect t.v. mom's from the 1950's. All she does is cook, clean, and act happy (like all 50's moms - right!) on the show, but Rory later reveals that she actually was an uncredited producer and director of her television show, making her one of the first women executives in history. Her television show aired from 1958-1966 on which she co-starred with such actors as Carl Betz and Shelley Fabares.

25. With which sense could Lorelai sense the snow coming?

From Quiz "Love And War And Snow"- Oh My!

Answer: smell

Lorelai couldn't "feel" the snow coming, "see" it coming, or "hear" it coming, but rather "smelled" it coming. She said to Rory, once she had woken Rory up with the harsh winter air of an open window in the middle of the night, "The snow's coming." Rory told her it was that time of year, and Lorelai said, "I can smell it. Can't you?"

26. What happened immediately after Rory ran out of the store?

From Quiz "Kiss and Tell" - In the Grocery Store!

Answer: She dashed in front of a car which had to slam on its breaks

A dark shade of teal-blue car slammed on its breaks, and Rory kept on running. She ran over the pumpkin patch, and straight to Lane's house. No pumpkins, however, smashed.

27. What was Lorelai planning to wear on Rory's first day of school?

From Quiz The Lorelais' First Day At Chilton

Answer: the blue suit with the flippy skirt

Unfortunately, the blue suit with the flippy skirt was at the dry cleaners. Because of Lorelai's late awakening, she could not go down to the cleaners to get the suit. She had to wear a pink tye-dye shirt and denim cut-offs instead.

28. How many cups of coffee did Lorelai have before she went into Luke's diner the time in this episode?

From Quiz "Gilmore Girls" - 'Pilot'

Answer: 5

Luke asked Lorelai "How many cups have you had this morning?" Lorelai replied " None." Luke then said to her "Plus..." and Lorelai's response was "Five, but yours is better."

29. Why doesn't Rune want to go out with Lorelai?

From Quiz 'Gilmore Girls' Season 1

Answer: She's to tall

Jackson walks up to Lorelai's door with Rune. When Rune sees her he starts to freak out. He tells Jackson he needs to talk to him. He complains about her height.

30. Why does Lorelai have Luke bring her out a whole new breakfast at the diner?

From Quiz "Gilmore Girls": "Emily in Wonderland"

Answer: The eggs are on top of the pancakes.

Lorelai is very picky about what she eats, so she asks Luke to go fix her breakfast after he brings it out. He put the eggs on the pancakes, making it seem like two big, ogling eyes.
