People often mistake Independence Inn's manager, headstrong single
mom
Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her equally willful teenage
daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel) for sisters. Lorelai and Rory cope with
the same emotional ups and downs, including Lorelai's overbearing,
old-money parents and the joys and frustrations of the male gender. But
when Rory's attention turns from dreams of private school and Harvard to
thoughts of boys and adolescent self-reliance, single mom Lorelai
begins noticing more of her own rebellious youth-only 16 years ago-in
Rory. This heartfelt, humorous drama appeals to young and old alike with
its blend of traditional family issues and hip, contemporary attitude.
Reacquaint yourselves with television's most appealing mother-daughter
duo in this collectible six-disc DVD set, which contains all 21 episodes
from the first season including the pilot episode.
Gilmore Girls has been honored with an AFI Award and two Viewers for Quality

a Drama Series from the Screen Actors Guild. Graham has also won two
Family Television Awards. In addition, series star Alexis Bledel ("Tuck
Everlasting") has won a Young Artist Award and a Family Television
Award. The series, Gilmore Girls, won a Family Television Award for New

Gilmore Girls is 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,
loving, mother-daughter relationship portrayed in
Gilmore Girls reflects
the growing reality of this new type of American family.
