[edit] Basic Plotline and Setting

Gilmore Girls goes for one hour and could be categorised as a drama because of the very witty storylines that explore family, generational divides, love, and friendship. It also has the makings of a comedy because of the fast paced dialogue, the wild references and sharp sense of humour involved in all aspects of the program. Gilmore Girls is set in Stars Hollow, a fictional town where everyone is close-knit and many strange characters roam the streets.

[edit] Statistics

The show has been aired on television since the year 2000 and has currently broadcasted six seasons. A total of 47% of the audience say that Gilmore Girls is perfect with another 33.3% saying it’s superb. It’s a fact that more people watch Gilmore Girls than Veronica Mars, which is another number one American show.

[edit] The Beginning

Gilmore Girls was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino who also acted as the executive producer during the first six series with her husband Daniel Palladino. She came across the idea when she went to Warner Brothers to pitch some other program plot lines. They didn’t seem to go for any of them so at the end of her proposal she just added how there could be a mother and daughter who were best friends, which Warner Brothers jumped at.
