"Gilmore Girls" had a few plot holes you may have never noticed.Warner Bros.

"Gilmore Girls" ran from 2000 until 2007 on The WB/The CW and revived for the Netflix miniseries "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" in 2016.
The show focused on the strong bond between a mother and her daughter, played by Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel.
From actors doing double duty to coffee cups changing color, the show had a few continuity errors and plot holes that even avid fans may have missed.

The WB's "Gilmore Girls" aired from 2000 until 2007, and the popular series centers on fast-talking mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory Gilmore as they navigate the ins and outs of adulthood and adolescence.

It's been 20 years since its premiere, but the series still has a few unanswered continuity errors and plot holes — even after its 2016 miniseries revival, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" — that many fans probably missed.
