GILMORE GIRLS S1 (DVD/S) [2006]

I recently started watching the Gilmore Girls on E4 at 11:30/12:30 and became enthralled by its quirks and charms! I'd always wondered why it had been so popular in America, but now I can see why. The town of Stars Hollow is the epitomy of a perfect cutesy american town. The kind you might dream of living it. It's cosy TV, like How I met your Mother, Friends and so on. The characters have such nice, but normal, lives. One of the many reasons that its so popular, its a slice of life, but it has sparkle. It has oodles of charm. It oozes charm so much so that my Father can't stand it. My Mother and I have made it a daily ritual to watch it in the mornings over the past 3 weeks. We didnt see the very beginning of series one, but didnt miss too much, we're into series 2 now and have just ordered 1 and 2 on DVD, will probably get series 3 later also. But it's such a shame only the first 3 seasons have gotten released over here, but hopefully Gilmore Girls showing on E4 will have developed more fans, who will, like me, demand that more be ported to Region 2!!I dont like giving away plot in reviews, so I'll just say this. If you like cosy tv, tv to make you smile. Tv that has character, you must watch this. It has the quirks of tv like Greys Anatomy, the weirdness of many different series and so much more to offer you. And since it's so cheap, you would be a fool to miss out on this delightful series.(For those who want to try it out, not only is it shown at 11:30 and 12:30 on E4 and E4+1, it's shown at an earlier time of 8:50 and 9:50 too. So you have no reason to miss it. Record it if not, or, just save time and buy the boxsets now :grin: Then you could have a marathon!!(Which is just what I plan to do!!)

It is said that most American tv is awful but when they do get it right,they strike gold.Well,make no mistake,the Gilmore Girls is good enogth to start a gold rush!Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are simply stunningly good as Lorelei and Rory Gilmore,a 32 year old single mother and her 16 year old daughter living in small town Connecticut.Comedy,drama,pathos and warmth,it's all here in just the right quantities and allied to one of the most articulate and witty scripts i've ever come across.Add a brilliant support cast and this is unmissable entertainment.The quality and consistancy of the acting and script is quite astonishing for a show that last 45 minutes per episode with 21 episodes in this season.This is not the sort of programme that could ever be made in the UK sadly,no downtrodden trash or upper crust stereotypes here,everyone is comfortably off in a material way but this is a story about relationships between family,friends and people in general that applies across the board regardless of status.According to some reports (but not all),Lauren Graham is a bit of a prickly customer in real life,but,whatever the truth is,chances are you'll fall in love with her in the Gilmore Girls.The only huge downside to her character is that she's not a cat person!I bought this for less than nine pounds from Amazon,what fabulous value and quality!

Gilmore girls is a fairly old show now but if like me you tend to buy shows on Dvd and are looking for a new show to get into then you may have stumbled upon the right page.I bought this first season last week as I wanted something to easy to watch and I'd had my fill of fantasy shows for a while so I read reviews for a few shows and this sounded pretty good and was cheap so I went for it. Three days after recieving it I am returning to Amazon to pick up the second season as I am almost finished on this one and I am loving it .Gilmore girls isn't a high drama show and there aren't any vampires or werewolves, it isn't a comedy though there are funny moments and there's no sex or drugs, it is simply like a comfy cosy blanket and it just makes me smile.The stories focus on single mum and her 16 year old daughter and their lives in the town of Stars Hollow, they are both really likeable characters and after just one episode I was hooked.At this price just try it, I can't do it enough justice you have to see for yourself .

Great TV programme about mother and daughter. The only downfall i found with this product is the way it is packaged, it's not like a boxset it's like a DVD box with several discs within it.

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.

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.
