This is all, of course, a preparatory marathon [before the big premiere of the _Gilmore Girls_ revival](http://time.com/4426758/gilmore-girls-revival-show-releases-the-first-trailer-and-a-premiere-date/?iid=sr-link3), which will be available exactly one minute after the marathon ends, at 12:01am PST on Netflix — so be warned that you’ll have to find a login to the streaming service to get the full, up-to-date Gilmore experience. Alternatively, if you don’t want to spend those 153 hours glued to the TV or risk missing your favorite episodes, Netflix is now streaming all seven seasons on demand. But it would still be fun to invite your friends over for a Gilmore-themed old-school TV marathon when you’re home for Thanksgiving… you’d just need a plenty of caffeine to stay awake for it all, in true Lorelai fashion. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4437556/prepare-to-binge-on-everything-gilmore-girls-over-your-lazy-thanksgiving-week/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4437556/prepare-to-binge-on-everything-gilmore-girls-over-your-lazy-thanksgiving-week/"},"headline":"Prepare to Binge on Everything Gilmore Girls Over Your Lazy Thanksgiving Week","datePublished":"2016-08-03T19:49:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:03.454Z","description":"Fall is the best season to binge-watch old favorites","url":"https://time.com/4437556/prepare-to-binge-on-everything-gilmore-girls-over-your-lazy-thanksgiving-week/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf18e1690d64b84d5/698868fb196cf4806d038965/151020_em_gilmoregirls.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf18e1690d64b84d5/698868fb196cf4806d038965/151020_em_gilmoregirls.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"151020_EM_GilmoreGirls","caption":"Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel in 'Kiss & Tell', (Season 1, episode 7) of GILMORE GIRLS (aired November 16, 2000)","creditText":"Warner Bros.—courtesy Everett Collection","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4437556/prepare-to-binge-on-everything-gilmore-girls-over-your-lazy-thanksgiving-week/","name":"Prepare to Binge on Everything Gilmore Girls Over Your Lazy Thanksgiving Week"}}]}] ```
