Lauren Graham is a career TV mom who has done more for the comforting hair stroke and hug combo than any other actress could dream of, and her small screen daughters appreciate her efforts.

The actress reunited with her first fictional daughter, Alexis Bledel, when Rory and Lorelai participated in a life-affirming Gilmore Girls reunion at the Austin Film Festival over the weekend. Mae Whitman, who played Graham's second fictional daughter, Amber Holt, on Parenthood was in attendance for the family reunion of sorts.

Later, Graham and her fictional daughters posed together and fans of the two series dreamed up some sort of Parent Trap-type crossover series where we don't have to say goodbye to characters from our favorite TV shows.

Whitman was in town for a live reading of Dawson's Creek in which she took on the role of Dawson Leery made famous by James van der Beek. She decorated the table with a framed picture of Friday Night Lights hunk Tim Riggins, which always livens up a room.
