24 Shows Like "Gilmore Girls" For When You're Craving a Comfort Watch — or a Bit of Drama

The subject matter of "Dead to Me" might be a little more intense than in "Gilmore Girls," but the female friendship at the core of the show definitely resembles some of the best relationships in Stars Hollow. Jen (Christina Applegate) and Judy (Linda Cardellini) meet in a grief support group and develop a close bond, only to discover that what they're grieving over is a lot more connected than either of them realize. Still, their friendship grows and deepens over the show's three seasons to become something truly memorable, and Jen's no-nonsense, fast-talking approach to parenting can't help but evoke Lorelai's on occasion.
