If I'm not mistaken, the new season doesn't feature a wholesale change. I mean, Gilmore Girls carried over a staff of writers and producers from the previous season(s), right? To use my West Wing example from earlier, when they dumped creator Aaron Sorkin, John Wells came in and decided to make that show what he thought it should be. But it seems to me that Gilmore Girls is utilizing a lot of the same people and trying to keep things pretty consistent, they just aren't reporting to the same people at the top that they used to. I did read an article the mentioned that the actors have a bit more freedom to deviate from the script as opposed to doing it verbatim, but I don't think the current showrunners want to make too drastic a change.
