Summary: Oy with the poodles already!
Review: Gilmore Girls is my favourite show. It is funny, dramatic, smart, and addicting. I have watched multiple discs of both seasons 1 and 2 in one sitting: the perfect way to waste a day. Make sure to have a pen and pad of paper near your had so you can write down people to look up, books to read, and songs to sample. Many people I know don't watch Gilmore Girls for precisely the reasons I do: 1) it moves slowly and 2) you often don't know exactly what the cast is referencing (hence the pen and paper). Examples include the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning and the book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not just for chicks.
Review: A fantastic show. And not just for chicks: I'm a guy. Probably won't want to let your buddies on the softball team know that you're watching this show, but it's really a funny and interesting show. It's a television show for people with brains. The references to pop culture, hisorical figures, and literature remind me of similar references in The Simpsons. Not kidding. Pick it up at this great price and catch up with a season that you might have missed.

Summary: the glorious first season of "Gilmore Girls"
Review: It's said that certain shows sometimes take half a season or so to "warm up" before they really take off--not the case with "Gilmore Girls"--the show established itself immediately and the whole first season remains continually addictive episode after episode. The chemistry between Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel is uncanny and overwhelmingly convincing and endlessly entertaining. The show does a great job of slipping in "side stories" for additional interest while keeping the focus primarily on the endeavors of Lorelai and Rory. Essentially, all of the show's acting is excellent, including Scott Patterson's masterful portrayal of the Luke character, but it's Alexis Bledel who 'steals the show' again and again--granted, she's at an advantage in the sense that she's playing such a likeable character in the first place, however, she truly brings the Rory character to life in such a one-of-a-kind way that's pure genius. Obviously a lot has already been said about "Gilmore Girls" and certainly no one in the right mind can deny it's a terrific show. I'd just like to add that there's a wonderfully uplifting and human quality about "Gilmore Girls"--to put it a certain way, it makes you realize that certain things that can happen in life are really not as catastrophic as they may appear. "Gilmore Girls" serves as a reminder of the joyfulness that life can provide, as well as the importance of really learning from life's experiences. Plus, there is some GREAT and intelligent humor in here that totally hits the spot, plus fun references to history, music, and more. This 6 DVD set is excellently packaged and contains generous bonus material--add to this the consistent high quality of the show itself, this set easily justifies its price. If you've never really watched "Gilmore Girls" much, or if you've missed a lot of episodes, this is an ideal way to start getting caught up, and where better to start than the beginning!

Summary: Smart and Funny.
Review: This is a great show. It's smart and funny. Fast paced, and not boring at all. Fantastic!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally awesome!
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love it when I'm wrong.
Review: Gilmore Girls, it's a less filthy version of Sex and the City, right? Wrong. That's what I thought, too. Luckily I gave it a chance and praise Zues that I did.
Unlike Sex and the City this show is full of great characters, interesting stories, quick humor and a very interesting little town where nothing ever happens.
It really is, hands down, one of the best shows on TV and easily ranks up there with The Sopranos.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Setting a Trend
Review: I started watching Gilmore Girls when I was two months pregnant. I had something in common with Lorelei Gilmore. I was young and I was pregnant. I looked to the show for inspiration while I went through the lonely weeks of pregnancy. She was strong, she made it, and Rory was healthy and intelligent.

Now my son is six months old and I'm still watching the show faithfully. I started watching the show in the middle of the 4th season and became really curious on what the first few seasons were about. I decided to purchase the first season on DVD.

I was not disappointed by the DVD. I really wish there were more extras. It did seem like there was an odd "echoing" quality to the audio at times which became jarring. However, any Gilmore Girls fan knows that nothing matters except the story. And what a fine story it is.

Lorelei Gilmore was 16 years old when she became pregnant and delivered a healthy baby girl. In her delirius state, she decided to name her daughter afer herself -- Lorelei Gilmore. Shortening the name, her now-16-year-old daughter goes by the nickname Rory. The show explores the mother-daughter relationship of Lorelei and Rory as well as their relationship with the outside world. Lorelei, a coffee-aholic and non-cooker, spends most of her eating hours at "Luke's", a diner. Luke is a grouchy man, but has a lot of charm. Lorelei spends her working hours at the Independence Inn, where she rose from a lowly maid to the manager, second only to the owner. There we explore a relationship with Michel, a French.. well.. jerk, and Lorelei's best friend Sooki! Sooki is an accident waiting to happen, but good hearted and loving.

On the other hand, Lorelei's parents aren't so good hearted or loving. At least, on the surface they aren't. Emily Gilmore is a control freak who desires to run her daughters life. Richard Gilmore is a Top Dawg at some company where he makes beaucoup money. While Lorelei lives a middle class life, her parents are upper class.

There are a lot more tangles and subplots to this fascinating story. And, if I was willing to name my daughter after Lorelei, then shouldn't you at least check it out? :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: brilliant
Review: I can't believe that is TV Show is almost not know in Europe. What a pity. Because this is the best comedy/drama show I've ever seen! Very funny, especially Lauren Graham, every character works fantastic together. It has heart, humor it comes directly out of live. Absolutely fantastic!!
