Liz Torres Credits Gilmore Girls' Young Mother-Daughter Relationship For Its Early Success
When “Gilmore Girls” hit the air in 2000, there was really nothing like it on television. Other shows of the era included “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Jackass,” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” But “Gilmore Girls” brought something fresh to audiences, something that many had never seen depicted on-screen.
In a 2016 interview with The TV Addict, Liz Torres said, “I don’t think there had been a show with a mother that young. Lauren [Graham] was so young; those issues were fresh during that time. There were so few shows that were directed at the heart of women like that.”
The dynamic between Lorelai and Rory is quite special. Since she got pregnant with Rory as a teenager, their small age gap allows them to share a true friendship that goes beyond the typical parent-child bond. Unlike other TV moms, Lorelai enjoys countless light-hearted moments with her daughter. One of the most popular of such moments includes their daily meals and coffees at Luke’s Diner.
Many viewers have fond memories of watching “Gilmore Girls” with their own mothers. Now that they’re older, they hope to establish a Lorelai-Rory connection with their children. On Reddit, u/CreativeJudgement3529, who has a young son, said, “I just am so excited to have a relationship with him. To be his mom, his advocate, and eventually his friend when he gets older. I love Lorelai and I relate to her.”
