Gilmore Girls

Gilmore Girls is an American television dramedy (2000–2007) following a single mother and her teenage daughter in a fictional Connecticut town.

Known for rapid-fire dialogue packed with pop culture references, the show developed a devoted following.

We're doing a Gilmore Girls marathon this weekend.

The title sometimes describes the fast-talking, coffee-obsessed dynamic between close mothers and daughters.
