As a fellow Gilmore Girls fan, I too had to find another show to fill the void. Since GG can be defined so many different ways, I have a couple of suggestions based on different qualities of the show.
If you need a youthful show full of energy, I suggest Greek. The characters are incredibly lovable, and complex.
If you are looking for a smart show that has a lot of the wit of Gilmore Girls, I suggest The West Wing. It is politically themed, but the characters have a dry wit like Lorelai's.
There is no match for the Lorelai/Rory mother/daughter dynamic, but What I Like About You is a story about two sisters that help each other, and is totally cute.
I hope that helps. If you need other suggestions based on different qualities, let me know. I am an avid TV watcher, and cannot get enough!
i also watched house after Gilmore girls ended it really is a great show.i also started watching NCIS,monk,and psych. (yeah i know none of them are like gilmore girls but they are great in my opinion)
I was obsessed with Gilmore Girls for years, and when it ended it depressed the hell out of me. The show I turned to to fill my void? House. I know, strange, nothing at first impression, however, move past the medicine of House and you have this incredibly deep and unbelievable story of a man and his struggle. I thought the writing was good on Gilmore Girls, but man, nothing can compete with House. Watch from the very beginning, don't do the USA thing and see all the episodes skip around, that defeats the whole purpose. Hope you like it :)
I absolutely love One Tree Hill.... I am completely obsessed.... my best friend said that Gilmore Girls was a show that i needed to see.... so i watched it but i told her that i was never going to like it as much as One Tree Hill.... turns out that i actually love Gilmore Girls.... I was amazed at how muched i loved it.... I watched all seven seasons in a week and a half... So i highly reccomend One Tree Hill to you.... it's funny, it's inspirational, it's dramatic... it's amazing.... Good luck....

I also suggest Secret life of an American Teenager, CSI New York, NCIS, Big Brother 11, and Gossip Girl
I would suggest How I met your mother, because it's a similar humor or One Tree Hill, because it also has a lot of music and a lot of refrences in there, like book quotes, lyrics from songs etc.
Shows I liked after watching Gilmore Girls:
Easy/Comedy: SCRUBS (similar because funny with life lessons), Community, New Girl, Cougar Town (Mother/Son relationship)
Drama: House, ONE TREE HILL (S1-6 only) (Chad Michael Murray, need I say more?)
Other: Supernatural, Veronica Mars (similar wit and sarcasm, more cynical though)
It depends on what parts of it you are withdrawing to. I found it best to go with a show that has your favourite actor it for example One Tree Hill has six seasons of a very yummy Chad Micheal Murray in it and Matt Czuchry is excellent in The Good Wife.
