UPtv's Annual Thanksgiving TV Event is Coming...




My friends at UPtv asked me to share their special Thanksgiving week "Gilmore Girls" event with all of you. I have only watched a few episodes of this series over the years, so I am not as familiar with it as I am other series. I know many fans of this drama/comedy flock to UPtv annually around Thanksgiving for their GilMORE the Merrier binge-a-thon. If that's you, or if you're interested in checking it out this year, you'll want to see all the details about it below...
