Gilmore Girls
Updated: 12/10/2025, 4:36:24 PM Wikipedia source
Gilmore Girls is an American comedy-drama television series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino. It stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore, a mother–daughter pair living in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The series also stars an ensemble supporting cast, including Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena, Yanic Truesdale, Scott Patterson, Kelly Bishop, Edward Herrmann, Liza Weil, Jared Padalecki, Milo Ventimiglia, Sean Gunn, Chris Eigeman, and Matt Czuchry. The series premiered on The WB on October 5, 2000, and ran for seven seasons, concluding on The CW on May 15, 2007. Set in the fictional small Connecticut town of Stars Hollow, populated by a close-knit community of eccentric residents, the series blends elements of family drama, romance, and comedy. The series follows the personal and professional lives of its central characters as they navigate relationships, ambitions, and generational differences. It is distinguished by its rapid dialogue, literary and pop-culture references, and portrayal of women's relationships across multiple generations. The writing and performances received widespread critical acclaim, and the series has been recognised for its humour, emotional depth, and exploration of themes such as independence, education, and social class. However, its later seasons garnered more mixed reviews, particularly following Sherman-Palladino's departure after season six. Gilmore Girls achieved strong ratings throughout its original broadcast, peaking in its fifth season as one of The WB's most popular series. Its audience and cultural influence have endured through syndication and streaming, particularly after becoming available on Netflix in 2014. The series has frequently been cited among the greatest television shows of all time by publications including Time and TV (The Book), and it is regarded as a cult classic of 2000s American television. In 2016, Sherman-Palladino and the original cast reunited for the four-part Netflix revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
