When Gilmore Girls first premiered on The WB in 2000, no one could have predicted the lasting impact it would have on television and pop culture. With its razor-sharp dialogue, small-town charm, and the unique mother-daughter bond between ‘Lorelai’ played by Lauren Graham and ‘Rory’ played by Alexis Bledel, the show quickly became a cultural reset. It redefined family dramas for a new generation, balancing humour, romance, and heartfelt emotion.
The story followed the lives of ‘Lorelai’, an independent single mom, and her bookish daughter, ‘Rory’ as they navigated life in the quirky town of Stars Hollow. Alongside them were memorable characters like diner owner, ‘Luke’, best friend ‘Sookie’, and strict matriarch, ‘Emily’. Over seven seasons and 154 episodes, Gilmore Girls built a loyal fanbase that only grew when Netflix revived it in 2016 with Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
