Gilmore Girls
A warm, fast-talking comedy-drama following single mother Lorelai and her daughter Rory through high school, college, and small-town life over seven seasons (2000-2007). The series is generally gentle in tone, with content stepping up in intensity as Rory ages; this report covers the full original run.

Episodes to know about
During a party, Rory repeatedly says 'wait' and has to physically remove herself from a situation with Jess; the show moves past it quickly and does not treat it as a serious incident.
Adult characters drink socially in most episodes; cigar and cigarette smoking is visible throughout, particularly from Richard Gilmore.
Strip club setting appears briefly; no nudity is shown.
