The sweetest, nicest and funniest thing you'll watch all year.......2008-01-25
I discovered Gilmore Girls on the Hallmark channel whilst off ill (you know, lying on the sofa, feeling sorry for yourself) and I have to confess to dragging the illness on a couple of days so I could make the 8.30am slot to watch the girls!
Now, don't ask me to tell you the plot...it's the only programme that I know that I sing the praises of, but then when someone asks me to tell them what happened in an episode, I have to reply...'well, nothing really..but it was so funny'. I'm not destined for a career in sales then. However, Laurelai, Rory, Luke, Suki, Emily, Richard and co keep me entertained through their sharp wit and humour, and the fraught relationship between Laurelai and her mum in contrast to the amazing relationship that Laurelai enjoys with her own daughter is touchingly, yet often hilariously portrayed. I cannot praise this show enough. And the theme tune will find its way into your head and never leave...
Enjoy folks.
very refreshing and heartwarming but if you don't like quick-fire dialogue give it a miss.......2008-01-16
There are lots of quirky and interesting characters in Gilmore Girls.
The mother daughter relationship in which the two women seem more like sisters is very endearing and is the driving force for the whole series.
I like watching this programme but I think it has one big problem - at times people talk to one another so quickly and so intelligently that it's hard to keep up and grasp the points being made.But nevertheless, there is something very refreshing and heartwarming about the Gilmore Girls.I would certainly recommend it to other people.
Surprisingly good.......2007-12-26
I bought this on a total whim (I had heard about it via an actor in it), and I was very surprised by how good this was! Fantastic acting by the whole cast, and a superbly witty script. If you are going to buy a random DVD - try this.
Perfect television that will leave you with a smile!.......2007-08-18
I stumbled across the program by pure accident while on a work training course about 2 years. I watched it every night in my hotel room that week and then completely forgot about it cos I don't have the Hallmark channel.
I quite enjoyed it, so on a whim I decided to order season one. The best move I have ever made. This series is so sweet, quirky, full of wonderful characters, pop culture references and lots of laugh out loud moments and plenty of crying into your hanky moments as well.
I guarantee that you will find yourself with a smile on your face at every single episode.
This is the perfect TV series to watch on the sofa, under a blanket with a tub of ice cream.
Fabulous lazy afternoon viewing in the company of people you would love to have as your friends.......2007-02-23
My daughter sent me this for Christmas. I have absolutely adored this programme. It is such a good story and the acting is superb. It is very funny, the setting makes me want to live in Stars Hollow and it just completely makes my day when I watch it. Kelly Bishop who I remembered from An Unmarried Woman is superb, likewise Edward Herrmann. Of course, though, it is Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel who so richly deserve congratulations and praise for making the show what it is. I am a latecomer to the programme. I look forward to watching more episodes in the very near future!

Absolutely Fabulous.......2006-12-16
As both Rory and Lorelai are left to face with the outcome of the season five finale alone, we see them struggling to face the hardships that have come with their seperation. For Rory it means that she can no longer be connected with her Stars Hollow life, and that includes being away from Lane (her lifelong beat friend). We see a dramatic change in the way she lives her life as she moves in with her grandparents, joins the DAR and becomes a young lady destined for society. Her relationship with Logan seems to be the only thing she is happy about, but even he makes several collossal mistakes that may bring the end of their relationship. Lorelai has put all her efforts into her forthcoming wedding with Luke and gets a dog named Paul Anka to fill the empty hole in her life. But when her and Lukes relationship hit some rocks Lorelai is left bewildered and only feels better when her daughter returns home. Another outstanding season in this critically acclaimed season. This is a must buy for all gilmore fans out there.
No english subtitles.......2006-11-20
I would certainly give 5-stars, if only they had included English subtitles. The dialogues are hard enough to follow even WITH subtitles, for someone who his first language isn't English...
What were they thinking??

Best seson yet.......2006-12-16
I feel that this is the best season yet of the critically acclaimed show. In this season we see Rory and Lorelai drift slightly apart as they tackel new problems and face different challenges. In Rory's "Yale world" we see her make and brake friendships as she is intrigued by a possible new love interest who shows her a different side of society life. And Lorelai must deal with consequences of her new and steamy relationship with Luke and that means not only having to face the whole of Stars Hollow but she will also have to break the news to Emily and Richard, who make it clear that they disaprove of Luke. Overall it is heartwarming season with a jaw dropping season finale that cannot be missed!
Customer Reviews:
Totally awesome!.......2005-01-12
I am really in to magical and mythical stories and I never thought that dramas or any realistic fiction stories, but I must say that this just blew me away. It is a great drama with just the right amount of comedy mixed in. The characters are wonderful and the setting is marvelous. It is almost impossible to stop watching once you have started. It is a great mother-daughter show that is great to watch with your family.
Finaly the Gilmores on DVD.......2004-08-26
I fully understand that the world of the tv-series Gilmore Girls is highly ideal and probably would not stand up in reality.
But this little spot in an alternate reality very close indeed to our own, it is a place to relax in. A place to let go of the real life pressures and find peace.
I've followed this tv-series for a long while now and next to Ally McBeal it is probably the best "feel good" thing in the world. And to see it in a great boxed DVD release is thing of joy.
The box is very nice and the colours are perfectly matched to giva sense of season. Picture quality is good and sound alike. But the compression is somewhat high, that the text in the beginning and end can be a little hard to read. But other than that this is a good buy.
It stands proudly in my DVD shelf :-)
And I will whatch it many times over. Also looking forward to the next release!
Single Motherhood Finally Hits TV.......2004-05-12
After years of stereo typing, WB finally hit on a series that is real, honest and breaks the mold on single mothers. It shows how teenage pregnancy affects your life and how some right choices can really make a difference. I like the fact that Mom, doesn't get along with her parents. The fact that she can be a mother and a friend. That being single isn't fun and neither is dating. Trying to figure out how to raise a teenage daughter, hoping you are doing the right thing, but being allowed to mess up.
I started watching this series with my then 14 year old daughter. We liked the fact that we could see parts of our lives reflected on TV and that we weren't alone.
Something to make you laugh or cry!
So worth watching.

The Gilmore Girls are back for a second season of fun.......2004-12-10
The second season of "Gilmore Girls" is when a lot of things did not happen to Lorelai Gilmore. It started with Lorelai not marrying Max ("Red Light on the Wedding Night") and ended with her not marrying Christopher ("I Can't Get Started"), but Sookie got married so at least there was some progress in that area, although the duo's plan to open an inn together hits a major roadblock ("The Ins and Outs of Inns"). Of course, the most important thing that did not happen to Lorelai was that she manages to really notice Luke despite the fact he is pretty much there in front of her every morning at the diner. Clearly the creators of "Gilmore Girls" remember what happened to "Moonlighting" once Dave and Maddie stopped bantering and started kissing and other things, so the agenda is to put off the inevitable for as long as possible. So even if it is obvious to everyone else in Stars Hollow (to wit, Emily), does not mean that Lorelai has a clue.
As for Rory, her junior year at Chilton has its ups and downs. and not just because of Paris. The ups would be "The Road Trip to Harvard" and making her society debut ("Presenting Lorelai Gilmore"), while the downside would be the rift between her and her grandfather because of Dean ("Sadie, Sadie") and the problems with Dean because of Jess ("There's the Rub" and "A-Tisket, A-Tasket"). If anything, the common denominator is to make sure that none of the Gilmore women are happy, which means Rory is mad at Lorelai for blaming Jess for the accident ("Help Wanted," Lorelai is mad at Emily for arranging their going to a spa together ("There's the Rub") and Emily is mad at Richard for quitting his job without consulting here ("The Bracebridge Dinner"). What? You thought Emily was going to be mad at Rory? Are you kidding? Have you not been watching this show?
For me the fascinating part is watching the yang of Lorelai and Emily's relationship compared to the yin of the Lorelai and Rory dynamic. For me some of the most memorable moments from season two are when Emily orders Richard to make up with Rory because if their granddaughter ever gets married she to know about it (Lorelai did not tell her parents about her engagement to Max) and the look on her parent's face with Lorelai gets her business school diploma ("Lorelai's Graduation Day"). But then a good rule of thumb is anytime we see a chink in Emily's armor it is a moment that will be hard to forget. I am still trying to make up my mind as to whether or not Lorelai has an even more strained relationship with her father than her mother, given his visit to her place of work ("Richard in Stars Hollow") and her visit to his new office ("Help Wanted"). I am certainly leaning in that direction, but it is still open to debate.
But overall the two emotional highpoints of the second season finding Lorelai giving and then receiving as good as she gets. The giving happens in "Teach Me Tonight" when a totally distraught Lorelai goes after Luke because of the car accident where Rory gets hurt (slightly hurt, but hurt is hurt, and there is a cast on her arm, mister), creating a serious rift in their relationship. The receiving is two episodes later in "Lorelai's Graduation Day" when Rory misses the big event and offers the most high speed combined heartfelt apology and verbal self-flagellation in television history (I agree with her, I think she had a stroke or something).
My strong affection for high-speed dialogue can be traced from "Gilmore Girls" back to "Moonlight" and beyond to "The Thing From Another World" and any movie starring Groucho Marx. Equally as strong is my enjoyment of gratuitous pop culture references, especially as manifested in "The Simpsons" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." So to have a series that combines both of these elements and provides deleted scenes on the DVD is one of those absolute joys you hear so much about (although my wife is tired of me explaining all of the references, allusions, and impromptu name dropping). Then again, while I knew from the start that Carole King was singing the show's theme song "Where You Lead" with her daughter Louis Goffin, I only recently figure out they had re-recorded the song with some of the lines changed to better fit the show (No, I do not fast forward through the title sequence; I always listen to the song).
I am also pleased to see that the "Gilmore Girls" is being seen around the world (Sundays at 18:00 on Nickeloden U.K.), although I have to wonder how the pop culture references translate into out cultures (I have no doubt people can speak real fast in any language). It is nice to think that Stars Hollow's madonna and child have gone international.
