"Pilot" is the pilot episode of the American comedy-drama series Gilmore Girls. It originally aired on the WB in the United States on October 5, 2000. The episode was written by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter.
Parts of the episode were shot in and around Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the very first shot of the pilot is of the Main Street of Unionville, Ontario (just north of Toronto), which is like a real-life Stars Hollow.
The very first episode of Gilmore Girls opens with Lorelai Gilmore, a single mother in her early 30s, and her 16-year-old daughter, Rory (Lorelai Leigh Gilmore), enjoying breakfast at Luke’s Diner, a town favorite owned by gruff but kind-hearted Luke Danes.
When Rory comes into the diner in the first scene, she’s shown to be very prepared and laid back. What draws the line between childish and childlike for Lorelai in terms of characterization is that, in this scene, the way that she addresses the bro-y college student hitting on her daughter.
- The Gilmore House. Like Luke's diner, the interior of Lorelai's house is completely different than the home fans come to know and love throughout the series.
- Richard Gilmore Isn't Very Warm. The patriarch of the Gilmore family is remembered fondly as being kind and wise and always very interested in his granddaughter's life and her well being.
- Luke Isn't A Central Character. We meet Luke in the pilot episode as a grumpy diner owner frequently barking at Lorelai for her coffee addiction. It's hard to believe after watching the pilot that Luke becomes such a key player in Rory and Lorelai's lives.
- Sookie Is Very Accident Prone. Melissa McCarthy does an incredible job of playing Sookie, the chef at the inn and Lorelai's best friend. In this first episode, Sookie's big quirk is that she's accident prone.
Oct 5, 2000 · Lorelai's first scene both opens and ends with The La's "There She Goes." The bouncy tune and bubbly lyrics set the tone well for her personality. Sam Phillip's "Where the Colors Don't Go" is this for Lorelai's childhood home where her parents still live.
