Gilmore Girls has a huge following, which is part of the reason why the show came back for a revival. Another reason is that a younger generation got in on the action thanks to Gilmore Girls being available on Netflix. Now that it has been a few days since the new episodes were released, people are starting to post their reactions on social media.

Not surprisingly, the show has many famous fans as well, and several of them were tweeting about their favorite parts of the new episodes. Some of these famous fans have connections and even got a small part in the new episodes like Sutton Foster!

“This is where my brain explodes: I go from supernerdy superfan to on-set talking to Lorelai Gilmore,” the actress told People Magazine. “It was my favorite show of all time. I was totally obsessed with it. When they told me it got rebooted for Netflix and they were writing a part for me, I texted Lauren Graham and said, ‘We’re finally going to be working together. There will be tears.'”

Other famous fans also got on the show like Jason Mantzoukas, Mae Whitman, and more. But not every celebrity was so lucky. Instead, some were at home live tweeting about it with the rest of us. So what did celebrity fans have to say about the revival? Here are 12 celebrity reactions to the new episodes.

1. Kat Dennings

Not everyone likes the stern grandmother on the show, but that’s not the case with this actress. The 2 Broke Girls star is definitely Team Emily and it looks like she was really excited about her story line.

2. Reese Witherspoon

It doesn’t matter that the show had a battle between book and movie fans. The Oscar nominated actress was just happy Wild was mentioned.

3. Lena Dunham

The Girls creator was flying high after being one of the many pop culture references on the show.

4. Mae Whitman

The Parenthood actress stayed in to watch the show and had the cutest binge watching partner.

5. Italia Ricci

Will we get a second season from Netflix? The Designated Survivor actress sure hopes so!

6. Laura Marano

The actress was shocked that some fans were right about the show’s infamous four final words.

7. Genevieve Padalecki

Of course Dean’s (Jared Padalecki) wife had to watch the new episodes in order to root for Team Dean.

8. Christina Perri

We’re guessing this means the singer was overwhelmed with happy tears …

9. Hank Green

The YouTube star actually had some criticisms for the show’s new episodes.

10. Josh Peck

If you thought Josh Peck wasn’t a Gilmore Girls fan then you thought wrong.

11. Cheryl Strayed

The author herself was just as shocked and flattered by being mentioned in the show.

12. Retta

The Parks & Recreation star was just as lost on some of the show’s references as the rest of us.
