"Gilmore Girls" can warm the cockles of any cold-hearted viewer. Mother and daughter Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) ruled primetime as the fast-talking, pop culture-loving duo. As sentimental as it is heartwarming, "Gilmore Girls" made a name for itself with its female-driven dramatic stories. Lorelai and Rory aren't just mother and daughter; they are best friends.

This is what first drew viewers to fall in love with the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, and all of its quirky residents. It also makes the last season of the series a devastating letdown. According to Entertainment Weekly (https://ew.com/article/2006/04/24/amy-sherman-palladino-leaving-gilmore/), executive producing wife and husband team Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino left after Season 6 amid a network dispute. The WB's merger with UPN and a new showrunner caused confusion throughout the final season, but fans don't let these facts sully the good name of Gilmore. There are still so many good seasons that even fans can't decide which is the best.
