Gilmore Girls - The Complete First Season Customer Reviews (16 - 18 of 63 Reviews)

Simply amazing.
For any males out there who think this is a chick flick, let me assauge your fears: this Monday Night Football watching, beer drinking, poker-playing guy think this is one of the Top 10 funniest shows on TV in the last 10 years at least. If you like dry humor and quick wit delivered by two beatiful women then this is a show for you.

The right words at the right time...
This series is so welcoming that after the first episode you feel like you're one of the town's folk. Watching Lorelai and Rory learn and grow from each other's mistakes in a little town called Stars Hollow is just simply alluring. After catching the season's premiere on TV sometime back I immediately became a fan, waiting for a new episode every week. A mixture of witty scripting and smart smack on your face dialogue, this show captures life in both hands and spreads it all over a wide array of endearing characters.

Gilmore Girls is a show about dreams, about hope, about being lost and found at the same time. Extremely well written in so many levels...just leaves you with something charming to say. It's just simply exceptional that this series is released on DVD.

Witty and touching
Well, this show includes a number of elements that would normally put me off. I am more often annoyed than charmed by casts of relentlessly quirky characters that are calculated to be lovable, but I was conquered by the Gilmore Girls. The show is just so well-written and refreshingly innocent and the cast is so good that I couldn't help watching most of the episodes with a big smile on my face. The many distinctive personalities of Stars Hollow form a well-developed community worthy of comparison with Cicely, Alaska of "Northern Exposure," the 4077th of "MASH," and Mayberry of "The Andy Griffith Show."

Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are perfect as the mother-daughter pair of Lorelei and Rory who are more like sisters due to Lorelei's early pregnancy. Lorelei's struggle to form a sane relationship with her mother (Kelly Bishop), Rory's attempts to fit in at the ritzy Chilton Academy, and both women's adventures in love provide the material for some fine television. A standout episode is "Rory's Dance," in which her genuinely joyful relationship with boyfriend Dean (Jared Padalecki) inadvertantly shames a roomful of cynical rich brats.
