Recipient of a single nomination for an Emmy and a Golden Globe in its initial five seasons, Gilmore Girls is much more successful among members of the television viewing public than among critics. The result of a joint partnership between The WB Network and television industry executives, Gilmore Girls the first script from the Family Friendly Forum to become a regular series showcases a mother-daughter relationship and the chronicles the personal world in which they live. Set in the non-existent town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, the show makes use of many of the same sets used by an earlier Warner Brothers hit series The Dukes Of Hazzard

In Stars Hollow, Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) raises her daughter and best friend, Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel), hoping to give Rory a better life than she has so far enjoyed. Learning from the mistakes of her youth, Lorelai decides to keep and raise her newborn baby while still very young herself (in fact, as the series begins, Rory is the same age as when Lorelai had her), and shes insistent that Rory make better choices for her own life. As Rory prepares for college, Lorelai notes many of her own character traits present in her daughter, and it worries her Overall, Gilmore Girls is a dramatic series focusing on love, friendship, and life choices shared by a mother and her daughter in present day America
