Gilmore Girls

Gilmore Girls, a show from the CW (formerly the WB), created by Amy Sherman Palladino, is the story of the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel), which walks the fine line between parent and child and best friends- sometimes with a little role reversal thrown in. Lorelai has always marched to the beat of her own drum, but after getting pregnant at 16 she has tried to be a good mom and raise Rory in the town of Stars Hollow. Although their similarities are many, Rory is the more grounded of the two and sometimes has to reign in her free- spirited mother. As both grow and learn from each other, they cope with friendships and relationships, Rory's high school woes, and dealing with the cast of interesting characters in Stars Hollow. Lorelai's best friend Sookie St. James (Melissa McCormick) is always there to lend an ear, and Rory's pal Lane Kim (Keiko Agena) struggles with her mother's strict traditional Korean upbringing. Local diner owner Luke Danes (Scott Patterson) is a staple in their lives, harboring secret feelings for Lorelai and later bringing to town his nephew Jess (Milo Ventmiglia), who plays a part in Rory's love life and challenges her relationship with her first boyfriend, Dean (Jared Padalecki). The series follows Rory to Yale and shows how their relationship helps both of them through life's ups and downs. MORE
