Summary: Definitely a must buy!
Review: I bought this DVD on Tuesday, and I watched the whole season in a day and a half. It was just so good! I had forgotten how hilarious the first season is. This was a welcome reminder. The special features arent that great. There is 2 and a half minutes of "Gilmore-isms", which is just some dialogue clips from the season. There is a behind the scenes look with the cast that is actually pretty interesting, though. And there is an interactive menu with episode 9: Rory's Dance in which dialogue is explained at the bottom of the screen. Then there are 3 and a half minutes of some slightly dull deleted scenes from various episodes. But I would still recommend that you buy this season. There isnt a dull episode in the bunch!

Summary: Disappointing DVD Transfer
Review: I was waiting impatiently for this series to be released on DVD because I really love it. However, I was really disappointed when I received my copy. The quality is so bad that nobody would believe that it's an original copy! WB is not being fair by producing this series in low quality DVD transfer because they've done a good job with "Smallville". I hope they won't repeat the same mistake in the future. As for this copy, I really hope that I could exchange it when they release it with better quality!

Summary: Yes, I actually do wish this was how everybody always talked
Review: I am sure every one has their own reference point for viewing "Gilmore Girls," especially if they really like the show. Since I am neither a mother nor a daughter my frame of reference is not in the real world but in the ghost of a television show past, namely "Moonlighting." This might strike some of your as odd, but on "Gilmore Girls" the average script for an episode is usually 75-80 pages versus the 45-50 for a normal hour-long television program, which was pretty much the math I remember from Glenn Gordon Caron's hit series (1985-89) which reminded America who Cybil Shepherd was and introduced the world to Bruce Willis. The nice thing about "Gilmore Girls" is that unlike Dave and Maddie we do not need to fear that Lorelai and Rory will do the same thing to mess up their chemistry (they will have to find some other way). Set in the storybook Connecticut town of Stars Hollow, which is populated by an eccentric mix of folks, the Gilmore girls are 32-year-old Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and 16-year-old Rory (Alexis Bledel). When Lorelai was Rory's age she became an unwed mother, to the disappointment of her parents (Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrmann), not to mention generations of Gilmore ancestors probably going back to the "Mayflower." But Lorelai has carved out her own life, managing an inn, and having a relationship with her sister which is more like best friends than mother and daughter. The only problem is that Rory has her heart set on going to Harvard and being able to Chilton, a private school in Hartford, would be a big help. That means Lorelai has to ask her parents for help and the price is steep: every Friday Lorelai and Rory have to go to dinner at the Gilmore mansion. Good thing Lorelai really loves her daughter a whole bunch. I can explain why I like "Gilmore Girls" simply by pointing out that on Disc 6 of "The Complete First Season" where we have the episode "Rory's Dance" enhanced by pop ups explaining all the pop culture, historical, and other references, I did not need any of them. In fact, I caught a couple of lines where I thought they could have added some pop ups. I am a bit weak on current musical groups, but fortunately Rory has eclectic tastes in such regards, so there are still more hits than misses. Absolutely true that people do not talk like this in the real world, but they should, even if that means you have to put up with a lot of eye rolling and sighs being heaved your way. The supporting cast is wonderful. Melissa McCarthy as Sookie St. James may well be the Willow of the thirtysomething generation and if Lorelai and Luke (Scott Patterson) are the last too people in town to know they are meant for each other they will have to catch on eventually, 1000 yellow daisies not withstanding. Keiko Agena as Lane Kim and Liza Weil as Paris Geller provide the polar opposites of Rory's divided teenage existence for the female gender with Jared Padalecki as Dean Forester and Chad Michael Murray as Tristan DuGrey doing the duty for the other side. But the heart of this series is indeed the Gilmore girls, all three of them. Graham is like a standup comedienne who does not mind if no one gets her cracks because she knows how good they are even if others are waiting for the pop ups. Bledel, whose only previous credit was as an extra in "Rushmore," is simply someone that the camera loves and who has a way of speaking that is even more endearing. Then there is Bishop at Lorelai's mother, a picture of being prim and proper but desperate to maintain contact with her daughter, even though she is loathe admitting it. Lorelai and her mother have a reputation that has been deeply damaged, perhaps irrevocably; but that is why we have to stay tune. Meanwhile Rory is building a relationship with her grandparents at those Friday night dinners separate from the existing hostility. The series is unique it that it is the first series to make it to the air supported by the Family Friendly Forum's Script Development Fund, an initiative between some of the nation's top advertisers and the WB network. The show was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who previously worked on the situation comedies "Roseanne" and "Veronica's Closet." I was told my several people that I should watch "Gilmore Girls" when it started on the WB in the 2000-2001 series, but it aired on Thursday nights opposite other shows I was already watching and as mentioned above my sense of gender identification with the lead characters is rather limited. Fortunately shows like "Gilmore Girls," "Roswell," and other series I should have been watching but missed are available on DVD. The problem is that the show just finished its fourth season and how am I supposed to catch up so I can get on track?

Summary: Well worth the investment
Review: How wonderful it is to see these episodes, absent of the commercials and all the "WB" promo nonsense. This is truly a classic, a show from which I pick up new things each viewing....as the fast dialogue often slips by the first time around. ["Do you like duck?" "Only if its made with chicken."] My few "nits" would be in having the menu default to "play all" instead of "episodes" and not having one of the cast members do commentary. The pluses far outweigh the minuses though. The packaging is beautiful. The clarity of the transfers is crisp and clean. One can only hope that the other seasons are also released. {Anyone know if the seasons done in HDTV are also widescreen?) One other issue....am I the only one who would love to see Lauren Graham's "M.Y.O.B." released to DVD?

Summary: Gilmore Girls' DVD, very awaited but...
Review: The first time I saw the announcement on the TV of the exit of the DVD 1st season of Gilmore Gilmore, it was the most beautiful day of my life! I waited on May 4th impatiently. Immediately after the school, I went to the shop and I saw it. The yellow case with this magnificent photo of the Gilmore. I asked the employee if it was also in French and he answered me a big NO! It was the worst day of my life! But I so love Gilmore Girls that it didn't disturb me to listen to it in English in spite of my profound disappointment. I thus bought it without waiting and arrived at home, I opened it by perceiving that there was no notebook indicating the episodes as in quite other DVD. I returned to the shop to know if it was an error but no. I thus went to see to another shop and they said to me the same thing, NO. Another disappointment. I am all the same happy to have bought it because I contributed to the fact that maybe, this broadcast is going to last for a long time because they will see (the team of Gilmore Girls) that they have many fans all around the world. I would like to add that Canada does not speak only English but also French. Gilmore Girls is diffused in Quebec in French and this broadcast was elected by the competition; I would stay in my house to listen to _______ (broadcast) even if my house was burning. I thus hope to find the option French in the next DVD! One of your French biggest fan!

Summary: Everbody loves the show. Now let me tell you about this set.
Review: Gilmore Girls is one of the best written shows on TV. The loveable characters will draw you in and provide a great viewing experience for the whole family. Watching this show is like eating a big of your favorite potato chips with dip (except that Mrs. Kim would approve of the show.)
The packaging, episode guide booklet and navigational menus pay tribute to the character oriented nature of the show by featuring largely unseen publicity shots of the characters.
Upon insertion, the DVDs bring up to the main menu quickly and none of them include mandatory commercials. Menu navigation is clean and simple. The main menu has the typical repetitious music which, no matter how charming it is the first time, quickly becomes irksome. The rest of the menus are mercifully mute.
The menu easily allows all episodes on the disk to be played straight through as well as allowing individual episode and chapter selection. Unlike DVD sets from some other shows, the only chapter points are at commercial breaks. This is a shame because it's the little moments that really make Gilmore Girls special. Adding more chapters to make individual scenes more accessible would have been a simple way to add value to this set. Another omission is the ability to skip the "previously on Gilmore Girls" recaps which are common, especially in later seasons. Hopefully these things will be corrected in future sets.
The set doesn't include any audio commentaries. Future sets probably won't either since WB won't pay anyone to do them and the actors involved are to high a caliber to donate their time to making someone else rich.
The "making-of" special includes interviews with the actors, producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, and the director of the pilot. It is nice if for no other reason than to put faces with the names that appear in the writing credits for so many episodes.
"Gilmore goodies and gossip" is basically the episode "Rory's Dance" with pop-up video type background on the actors and explanations of the various references.
"Gilmore-isms" is a collage of some of the shows crazy references.
"Deleted scenes" consists of scenes cut from 3 different episodes. They are poorly prefaced and give the impression that they were added just so that the studio could advertise the set as having deleted scenes. In summery: the price is steep and the extras are few but, as with all good shows, the episodes themselves are the selling point that really matters. I recommend this show to everyone.

Summary: From a Fourteen Year-Old's Point of View
Review: This series is the best!!! I am a fourteen year-old girl and I have been watching Gilmore Girls with my mother since the very beginning. This DVD includes additional scenes and all of the first great 21 episodes of Gilmore Girls. My mom and I love Gilmore Girls and never miss an episode. I would recommend this DVD for anyone who loves comedy, wit, and girl power!!! We can't wait to buy the second season. Go Rory & Lorelai!
