Lauren Graham is Lorelai, an obnoxious, knocked up teen mom who runs away from obscenely rich parents to raise her daughter “on her own.”  Is “taken in” by a kindly inn keeper who bequeaths job of running the inn AKA B&B to Lorelai.  Daughter also name Lorelai but for some reason called Rory is of course extremely beautiful and bright.  Dreams constantly of going to Harvard.  Story line sends her predictably to Yale for a journalism degree, which of course, Yale should be realizing is a dead career.  Lorelai has a perpetually antagonistic relationship with her parents especially her mother.  She bitches endlessly about this and is so thankful she was never a debutante.

For some inexplicable reason Lorelai can afford a house as a single mom in rural Connecticut despite never having graduated h.s. or college and having a job which probably pay less than $30K.  Of course brilliant beautiful daughter snags a scholarship to snooty private school then goes to an Ivy League school.  Some how single mother affords everything “without help” on paltry salary.  Mother and daughter live in an inexplicably quirky town with really annoying recurring character actors like Sean Gunn,  share a coffee addiction, and both have a series of cute boyfriends who think they are the end all be all.  It’s good to live in Stars Hollow because you will be gorgeous, whip smart, and afford Ivy League colleges.

(I'm definitely not gaga for it.)

Rory didn't have a scholarship. The whole premise of the show was that Lorelai had to go begging her parents for money for Rory's school. Also their house is big, bit is what DCUM would refer to as a shitshack.

I agree that Lorelai is annoying, though.[/quote]
