How many seasons were in the Gilmore Girls?
Gilmore Girls
"Gilmore Girls" first season commenced in the Thursday 8pm/7pm Central time slot, as a lead in for "Charmed". Renewed for a second season, the show was relocated on Tuesdays 8pm/7pm, the time slot of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", which transferred to UPN, and served as a lead-in for "Smallville". In its syndicated release in the United States, the show airs on the ABC Family Channel, and from 2009-2013, aired in weekend timeslots on their sister network SOAPnet, which closed at the start of 2014. First season reruns aired on Monday nights from March until May 2001 while "Roswell" was on hiatus. An additional run of the first season aired in summer of 2002 on Sunday nights under the title "Gilmore Girls Beginnings", and was one of two shows on The WB to give the "Beginnings" in its title for reruns (the other being "7th Heaven"). In the United Kingdom "Gilmore Girls" was initially screened on Nickelodeon from 2003. It remains the only hour-long series to air thereon to date. Only the first three seasons were shown, with episodes edited for content and some, like "The Big One," dropped entirely. The series was subsequently picked up by the Hallmark Channel, which gave UK premieres to Seasons 4 and 5, and E4, which continues to show all seven seasons in rotation, with occasional cuts to render it suitable for its early time slot. On 16 January 2012, Gilmore Girls aired its final episode on UK Channel E4. All seven seasons are now being aired, unedited, on 5*. In Brazil and Mexico, the show premiered in November 5, 2000 on Warner Channel. Then it was shown Boomerang across Latin America.
