A lot of people will be waiting up, coffee in hand, in the wee morning hours of Black Friday – but not necessarily for shopping bargains.
After a nine-year wait, the Gilmore girls are back. Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel have revived their cult-classic roles as caffeine-guzzling Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter, Rory. At midnight Friday, Netflix will launch its highly anticipated “Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life,” a four-episode series that picks up nine years after the television series ended.
“Gilmore Girls” debuted on The WB network in 2000 and concluded in 2007, a year after WB went off the air and select shows were moved to the newly created CW network. Over seven seasons, fans of the show followed quirky single mother Lorelai through her financial and romantic struggles while raising bookworm daughter Rory from her teenage years through her graduation from Yale.
