It's not just the generally off-kilter family dynamics in Mrs. Maisel that will remind you of the Gilmores — it's the main character's father! Much like Richard Gilmore, Abe Weissman (played by Tony Shalhoub) is a scholar who regularly retreats to his study. But more than that, he is a solid pillar of the family who offers advice (whether it is solicited or not) and will go to great lengths to look out for the ladies in his family. You'll find yourself loving Abe just like you always loved Richard.
