Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, Gilmore Girls was a popular American comedy drama show. It first aired on The WB Television Network, October 5^th 2000 until May 15^th 2007. (Over the time span of seven years, there are 7 seasons, a total of 153 episodes with a possibility of a Gilmore Girls movie in the near future.) The show is based on main characters Lorelai Victoria Gilmore (played by Lauren Graham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Graham ) and her daughter Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, more commonly known as Rory, (played by Alexis Bledel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Bledel ) threw their average lives, many friendships and relationships. Lorelai was a teen mother, thus leading her to dropped out of high school and run away from her wealthy life to co-own and manage both the Dragonfly Inn and the Independence Inn in the small town of Stars Hollow. Despite the closeness in age between her and her daughter, they have a strong bond, Lorelai is a great, funny and understanding mother. Rory is very passionate about her schoolwork , she transfers form Stars Hollow High to Chilton and dreams of going to Harvard University but ends up going to Yale University. She looks up to her mother and considers her as a best friend that she can talk to about anything. They both have a love for coffee, especially Lorelai. If i had to chose a favourite between the two, I don't think i would be able to since both Lorelai and Rory are great characters. Here is a clip from the very first episode to show how much Lorelai loves coffee.
