I definitely agree with you! This was my absolute favorite show, and I've been seeing a lot of these people on tv again, so I decided to do some research and write this hub. Glad you like it and thanks for the comment. :)
Um what about Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrmann?
I researched everyone and some of the other characters, like Lorelie's parents, Rory's friends Lane and Paris, etc, haven't been on too many other things other than small projects or just one or two guest appearances on a bunch of random tv shows. The people I did in this hub are the ones that have gone on to do movies or have been a main character on another show. But Kelly Bishop was on 2 episodes of Law And Order: Special Victims Unit, a few episodes of Mercy, and is supposed to be in a couple movies in the future. Edward Herman was in the movie Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star and has had a few episodes on The Good Wife. He's also appeared once or twice in a bunch of other tv shows like Drop Dead Diva, Law And Order, and Grey's Anatomy.
Great hub, it is interesting to look at a particular cast and chart where they are now- I love that Melissa McCarthy has done so well since Gilmore Girls ended. It speaks well of Gilmore Girls that so many members of the cast have gone on to steady gigs.

This is great! I loved Gilmore Girls growing up, and it's great to see that so many of the people I grew up watching are now doing other wonderful things with their lives!
