Summary: Hilarious Dialogue
Comment: I had bought a few books from amazon and needed 10 bucks more to get free shipping, so I browsed a few movies. I came across the Gilmore Girls collection and remembered watching an episode or two a few years back and after reading the fantastic reviews, purchased the first season. I love the witty dialogue and refreshing characters and found myself immensly enjoying ALL of the subplots, which is something that doesn't happen to often for me. I'm now buying a season whenever I have a break from school and hopefully I'll own the complete series for years to come!

Summary: series holds up
Comment: My husband converted me to Gilmore Girls fandom through reruns on ABC Family channel. We rented the complete first season so that I might enjoy the series from the beginning.
The first season lays the groundwork for the future complexities and issues in the series. From the first episode, we learn about Lorelai's stormy relationship with her parents; Rory's ambitions; Sookie's gourmet tastes (which ultimately lead her to love and babies); the Gilmores disappointments, etc. The major characters are not perfect. Lorelai is still "stuck" at 16- the age she was when she gave birth to Rory. Rory's best friend is her immature mother. (In fact, I've become upset with Rory for occassionally closing out Lane Kim, who is her other best friend.) Lorelai and Rory are selfish, confused, and emotionally unavailable to their friends. Still, it's addictive to watch their trials and tribulations in their quiet New England town.
Lane, Sookie, and Michael are wonderful supporting characters who are much healthier than our heroines. Lane is the best friend every teenager wishes she would have. Lane's mom is the kind of parents most mothers wish their daughters' best friends would have! Sookie is has so much gusto and she's not afraid to ask men out. Michael has to deal with Lorelai's juvenile nonsense, and he takes it all with good humor and sassy replies! :)
The show attempts to deal with issues of socioeconomic status. That's where it fails, in retrospect. The canned stereotypes leave much to be desired. Not only do the superwealthy (Gilmores) become embarrassed when their 16 year old daughter gets pregnant; not only do the superwealthy become disappointed when their teen daughter ruins her college plans; not only do the superwealthy wreck their cars in drunken stupors; not only do the superwealthy get all persnickety about their homes and appearances. Rory's decision to attend Chilton demonstrates that she buys into class and labels. Rory is more Grandma Gilmore than Lorelai is. Yet, Lorelai, who walked away from a comfortable lifestyle to raise Rory on her own, working as a maid and living in a one room "shack" condones Rory's decision.
Nevertheless, the stories are wonderful. I can't wait to rent season two!

People often mistake Independence Inn's manager, headstrong single mom Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her equally willful teenage daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel) for sisters. Lorelai and Rory cope with the same emotional ups and downs, including Lorelai's overbearing, old-money parents and the joys and frustrations of the male gender. But when Rory's attention turns from dreams of private school and Harvard to thoughts of boys and adolescent self-reliance, single mom Lorelai begins noticing more of her own rebellious youth-only 16 years ago-in Rory. This heartfelt, humorous drama appeals to young and old alike with its blend of traditional family issues and hip, contemporary attitude. Reacquaint yourselves with television's most appealing mother-daughter duo in this collectible six-disc DVD set, which contains all 21 episodes from the first season including the pilot episode. Gilmore Girls has been honored with an AFI Award and two Viewers for Quality Television Awards, and it was named New Program of the Year by the Television Critics Association. Series star Lauren Graham ("Townies," "NewsRadio," and "Bad Santa") was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series and received two consecutive nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series from the Screen Actors Guild. Graham has also won two Family Television Awards. In addition, series star Alexis Bledel ("Tuck Everlasting") has won a Young Artist Award and a Family Television Award. The series, Gilmore Girls, won a Family Television Award for New Series and was named Best Family TV Drama Series by the Young Artist Awards, which also honored series star Keiko Agena in the supporting young actress category. Gilmore Girls is the first series to make it to air supported by the Family Friendly Forum's Script Development Fund. An initiative between some of the nation's top advertisers and The WB, the program is intended to offer a greater array of compelling family programming on network television. The strong, loving, mother-daughter relationship portrayed in Gilmore Girls reflects the growing reality of this new type of American family.
