Jordan Strauss\/Invision\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nReflecting on how \u201cGilmore Girls\u201d is still popular today, he said, \u201cNobody could have anticipated this 25 years ago. We knew it was a unique and beautifully written show\u2026we knew we had something special. We were all shocked to be in something of such quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that creator Amy Sherman Palladino and her husband Dan were the reason why the show \u201cendures.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had showrunners and we had a pair of creators who protected the show and crafted what they wanted to craft. It\u2019s just a rare thing in the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Patterson added that while streaming on Netflix today, the show is \u201cmore popular than it ever was during its original run. It is a unique phenomenon in the history of television.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He referred to the show as, \u201cthe proverbial little engine that could. Just a small show from a small network. It\u2019s hard to get to 100 episodes\u2026.it\u2019s an impossible business to be in. And all of us, together with these genius creators, defied the odds as a group and made something for the world that they continue to consume at a high rate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Patterson, who currently co-stars in the CW show \u201cSullivan\u2019s Crossing,\u201d added that, \u201cyou could even go so far as saying that [\u2018Gilmore Girls\u2019] has had some kind of therapeutic effect on the population that is exposed to this, either directly or indirectly. I think the more people that gravitate toward it begin to realize there\u2019s really nothing else that makes them feel this way, in a positive sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
