Gilmore Girls debuted on October 5, 2000 on The WB, becoming a flagship series for the now defunct network.
At its core, Gilmore Girls tells the story of a unique mother-daughter relationship. 
The shows creator Amy Sherman-Palladino told the Today Show, “I sold it off of a line. It’s like a mother and daughter, but they’re like friends. And they all perked up and said, ‘Great. We’ll buy that.’”
