Life's short. Talk Fast
Gilmore Girls Aired From October 05, 2000 - May 15, 2007 On The CW
Plot:
Set in a storybook Connecticut town populated with an eclectic mix of everyday folks and lovable lunatics, the show is a humorous multi-generational series about friendship, family and the ties that bind. The show follows single mother Lorelai Victoria Gilmore and her daughter Lorelai "Rory" Leigh Gilmore in the fictional town of Stars Hollow.
Lorelai's conflict with her wealthy parents is central to the back-story for the series. Tension with her headstrong mother, Emily, and her father, Richard, recurs throughout the show. This presumably began when Lorelai became the teenage mother of Rory at the age of sixteen, which required the sacrifice of her elite prep-school education (and future as a college student). In addition, Lorelai opted to not marry the baby's father, Christopher, much to the constant dismay of her parents.
As an extension of her stubborn and rebellious nature, Lorelai ran away to Stars Hollow, a small town near Hartford. There she met Mia, owner of the Independence Inn, who gave her a job as a maid and acted as a surrogate mother to both Lorelai and Rory. Lorelai eventually became general manager of the inn, her position at the start of the series. She and Rory lived in a converted potting shed behind the Inn for about ten years before moving to the house they live in during the show. Lorelai consistently tried to minimize her parents' contact with Rory until Rory needed money for school.
Gilmore Girls features intricate, extremely fast-paced dialogue, with numerous popular-culture references, along with many other allusions to politics, feminism, and high culture. It also has specific perspectives on social class, represented most regularly by Lorelai's sometimes contentious relationship with her wealthy upper class parents. The show's wit and character-based humor won it a loyal following of both critics and viewers.
