Gilmore Girls is an American comedy-drama television series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino starring Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel. Sherman-Palladino, her husband, Daniel Palladino, David S. Rosenthal, and Gavin Polone served as the executive producers. The series debuted on October 5, 2000 on The WB and remained a tent-pole to the network until its move to The CW on September 26, 2006. The series originally ran for seven seasons and ended its run on May 15, 2007.
The show follows single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Graham) and her daughter, also named Lorelai but who prefers to be called Rory (Bledel), living in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The town is filled with colorful characters and is located approximately 30 minutes from Hartford, Connecticut
(as stated in the show's pilot). The series explores issues of family,
friendship and romance, as well as generational divides and social
class. Ambition, education, work, love, family, and questions of class
constitute some of the series' central concerns. The show's social
commentary manifests most clearly in Lorelai's difficult relationship
with her wealthy, appearance-obsessed parents, Emily and Richard Gilmore, and in Rory's interactions with the students at the Chilton Academy, and later, Yale University.
Gilmore Girls was released to widespread critical acclaim. Known for its fast-paced dialogue filled with pop-culture references, it won one Emmy Award for makeup in 2004. The show placed No. 32 on Entertainment Weekly's "New TV Classics" list, and was listed as one of Time magazine's "All-TIME 100 TV Shows" in 2007.
On January 29, 2016, it was confirmed that Gilmore Girls would return as a miniseries, titled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, on Netflix.
The series will consist of four 90-minute episodes, which will be
released on November 25, 2016. Each episode of the miniseries will be
set in Stars Hollow with each episode covering a season, as in winter,
spring, summer, and fall.
