Gilmore Guide

Set in the storybook Connecticut town of Stars Hollow populated with an eclectic mix of everyday folk and lovable lunatics, Gilmore Girls is a humorous, heartfelt, multi-generational dramedy about friendship, family and the ties that bind. In its first two seasons, Gilmore Girls has accumulated numerous awards. The show was named Outstanding New Series by the Television Critics Association and was honored with a Viewers for Quality Television Award and a Family Friendly Forum Award. Series star Lauren Graham received a Golden Globe nomination and two consecutive Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.

After making many mistakes in her own life, Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) spends most of her time trying to keep her 16-year-old daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel) from following in her footsteps. Often mistaken for sisters, the two lean on each other as they wade through the trials of small town Connecticut. While both Lorelai and Rory face new challenges in their own lives, their special relationship is a constant reminder that together, they can endure anything.

Gilmore Girls was the first series to make it to air supported by the Family Friendly Forum's script development fund. An initiative between some of the nation's top advertisers and The WB, the program is intended to offer a greater array of compelling family programming on network television. The strong and loving mother-daughter relationship portrayed in Gilmore Girls reflects the growing reality of this new type of American family.

This heartfelt one-hour drama was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Roseanne) who serves as executive producer with Gavin Polone (The Panic Room, Stir of Echoes) and Daniel Palladino (Roseanne) for Dorothy Parker Drank Here Productions and Hofflund/Polone in association with Warner Bros. Television.
