I COULDNT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVED THE SERIES OF GILMORE GIRLS MY WHOLE FAMILY HAVE WATCHED IT ,WE HAVE LAUGHED SO MUCH AT TIMES WE NEARLLY CRIED ITS A MUST SEE. SEASON EIGHT WAS DIFFERENT IT DIDNT CONNECT IN THE SAME WAY I THINK THEY USED A DIFFERENT WRITER IT WASNT THE SAME I ONLY WISHED THEY GAVE THE VEIWERS A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT WE ALL WANTED ? I CANT SAY OR THAT WILL WRECK THE SHOW SAD IT ENDED BUT I HAVE WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER A TRUE FAN OF GILMORE GIRLS.

Smart, sassy , sophisticated	Customer Rating:
This series is a sweet oasis of edgy wit and politically incorrect characters who surround Loreli and Rory Gilmore in Stars Hollow. The fact that Miss Patti smokes as she issues vague directions to small ballerinas and Kirk's short film is a dark homage to Eraserhead only serves to remind fans of the GGs that it's ok for adults to watch these begining years of a seven year run. Lots of thumbs up!

Best show ever	Customer Rating:
This is one of the shows that I love to watch with my mother, we both get a huge kick out of it. Funny, but still appropriate and great for the whole family!

Falling In Love All Over Again!	Customer Rating:
Best DVD investment I have ever made! Watching these shows from the beginning of the series took me back to when I first discovered this witty fast-moving show. Now I can get the rest of my family hooked too!

Think 1940s screwball comedy mixed with a planned community drama

Customer Rating:

The quick, witty dialogue of Gilmore Girls is an homage to screwball comedy films like His Girl Friday and Bringing Up Baby. It works surprising well, largely because there are different levels of speed talking: Some characters can keep up, others get lost, and some try on certain days and prefer to be normal people on other days. References and allusions abound as well. Some of the cultural references are highly obscure - that is, even with your ability to pause and rewind the world of Gilmore Girls, there are times when even the viewer can't keep up. This is all part of the fun of a dialogue-driven comedy that serves its main characters far too much coffee and a hilarious amount of food.

When the plot turns serious and the dialogue slows down, the sparkling planned community shimmers away as the stuff of real life creates drama. I appreciate that the writers understand the need to feel drama slowly. You can't banter through it, because only happy people relish in clever games.

It's hard to explain how a show about mostly white, middle class people living in a crime-free fantasy has become so popular, especially on the WB, which has been one of the few channels to embrace all of America's cultures, races, classes, and so on. I think the answer is that the relationship between a single mother and her daughter and an absentee father is highly translatable to many Americans. There are many conversations detailing Lorelai's struggles to provide for her daughter. Viewers also empathize with the weird and uncomfortable encounters with rich, elitist people, namely, Lorelai's parents.

The DVDs are somewhat lacking in extras - a making-of video and some extended or extra scenes are all you get. I think fans of the show would enjoy a dialogue dictionary of all of the references the characters make, a list of the books Rory and Jess are always reading, a map of Stars Hollow, a coffee cup, and Sookie's recipes.
