More than 20 years later Gilmore Girls debuted on October 5, 2000 and was rebooted in 2016 for a four-part update; viewers still are longing for more by Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.
For six seasons from 2000 to 2007, fans followed the lives of mother-daughter duo Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) in the cozy fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Despite Lorelai’s complicated relationship with her parents, Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop) and Richard Gilmore (Edward Herrmann), the couple also played a pivotal role in Rory’s upbringing.
Along the way, the Gilmore ladies were wooed by a few men, including Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki), Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia), Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry), Luke Danes (Scott Patterson) and Rory’s father Christopher Hayden (David Sutcliffe). Rounding out the cast was Rory’s best friend, Lane Kim (degree), his school rival, Paris Geller (Liza Weil) and Lorelai’s best friend and business partner, Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy), among others.
