When did the last episode of the original run of "Gilmore Girls" air in the USA?

The story behind the answer

The last episode of the original Gilmore Girls run aired in the United States on May 15, 2007.

Titled “Bon Voyage,” the episode served as the finale of the show’s seventh and final season. It originally broadcast on The CW, which had become the series’ home after the network merger that replaced The WB and UPN. The story centers on Rory preparing to leave Stars Hollow for a reporting job and on Lorelai and Rory navigating another major transition in their lives.

Gilmore Girls premiered in 2000 and ran for seven seasons. The series followed the close, fast-talking relationship between single mother Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory, blending family drama, romance, school, and the eccentric community life of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.

The 2007 finale was not the end of the franchise forever. Netflix later revived the series with the four-part event Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, released in 2016. That revival is separate from the original broadcast run, so answers referring to its release date do not replace May 15, 2007 as the date of the original finale.
