The Gilmore Girls' Returns to TV! UP Network to Air Marathons of the Popular Mother Daughter Show
The beloved mother-daughter TV show "Gilmore Girls" will be making its way back to TV. The fan-favorite series will begin airing in a marathon by the UP Network.
In a report with New York Daily News, the beloved show about free-spirited Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel). The pair has a charming relationship and remains close, having only had each other as Rory grew up. The comedy-drama series had a seven-season run before ending in May 2007, but the series still has a huge fan base.
Fans of the series couldn't get enough of Lorelai's antics as she schools Rory in the lessons of life.

Lorelai also has a history of romantic entanglements, which are also part of the show's plot. Having been pregnant at sixteen, Lorelai has some brief romantic encounters throughout the course of the series. In turn, Rory has her own share of romantic relationships which would complicate Rory's life, at times.
