gilmore girls

Gilmore Girls is an American television drama/comedy that began on October 5, 2000 and aired its final episode on May 15, 2007.
The show follows single mother Lorelai Victoria Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter Lorelai "Rory" Leigh Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, a close-knit small town with many quirky characters, located roughly thirty minutes from Hartford. The series explores family, friendship, generational divides, and social class.
Gilmore Girls features intricate, extremely fast-paced dialogue, (70 pages of script are used in each show) 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 difficult 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.[citation needed]
On May 3, 2007, The CW announced that the series would not be renewed.
According to Variety, "Money was a key factor in the decision, with the parties involved not able to reach a deal on salaries for the main cast members. Other issues, such as number of episodes and production dates, may have also played a role".
On May 23, 2007 TV Guide's Michael Ausiello interviewed Amy Sherman-Palladino and she talked about a possible TV movie in the near future.
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.
