Yes I'm a guy but I really loved this show. I started watching when nothing else was on and really got caught up in the story. It's very engaging and all the characters are very well written. This series season one shows you how the mom and her daughter came to live in the small town. You also get to know each of the characters one by one and their interactions with each other. I really enjoyed the mom's humor which came in handy sometimes while her daughter was having typical teenage problems. What I liked most was the story takes place in a small town, there was no cursing, no violence, etc just some wholesome entertainment for the whole family. In a world where all TV is filled nothing but vulgar language, violence, magic, demons, etc, it's nice to have a show like this to watch. If you have kids it's definitely safe to watch with them. It will be a nice break from the other crap that is on TV now days. I highly recommend it. Read full review

My daughter likes Gilmore Girls so I purchased it for her. My own opinion is that this show is complete fantasy. It is a world where the mother and daughter eat copious amounts of junk food and candy but stay ultra thin, where they eat all their meals out and spend, spend, spend but can afford a million dollar century home, where the mother seems to almost never be at work yet is the manager of a business, a world where the "ex" is buddy=buddy with the mother, still engaging in a sexual relationship with her. This show is a soap opera for young women that, quite frankly, teaches many bad lessons such as binge eating when depressed and lack of commitment in relationships.

Everyone that loves the "Gilmore girl's", or that wants to get into the series, needs to have the first set of DVD's. This set is the foundation of the series. It explains how Loralie the mother comes to live in "Stars Hollow" and how she left a rich controlling home life with her parents because of being pregnant with Rory. And how this little town becomes a safe haven filled with small town charm where everyone knows thier neighbors. And begins explaining the bond between the mother and the daughter which only grows stronger with each season. It has a very fast paced humor, filled with trivia in each and every line. As the season one ends, it just makes you want more.
I bought the entire series for my daughter, Terry, because she always loved the show. I waited until the 5th seasons came out, and bought all five. It took us several nights and days to watch them before she headed back to college, but we did it, and will never forget the moments together. I've always made fun of the Gilmore Girls shows, and balked everytime she wanted to watch it. But, she asked me to watch the DVD's with her when she was home from college, and by golly, I fell in love with that show! When that show comes on now it represents one of the best times of our lives. Don't begin 5 if you haven't seen 1-4; you have to see series one and all the rest for each to make sense. We haven't watch the new season, but will purchase it when the DVD's are out and watch them together, again over college vacation. My son watched a few with us, and said, "don't tell anyone, but I like these shows too!" lol. Gilmore girls is a wonderful show. There are things about each character with which we can all identify. Lorelei is my favorite, and I wish sometimes I could've been like her, able to speak out when someone is inflicting their demands/wishes on her; as a matter of fact, it has helped me to speak up when someone is in "my space" when they shouldn't be. The only character I have not warmed up to, is the employee at the hotel, Michel. His accent sounds fake, and his character is too whinny. Rory is a favorite as well as Paris. Paris is probably one of my fav's, as you know where she stands on everything. She appears strong, but is indeed weak, and needs friends. I think if I had to say there is anything about the show that I would change it is the characters that sleep together, without benefit of marriage.Read full review
I was introduced to Gilmore Girls less than a year ago and after watching only part of one season, decided I had to own all of them. It seems as if TV today is all stupid humor, blood and guts, reality, or just boring. Not Gilmore Girls. The show is built around the relationship between a mother and daughter and their relationships with others. Each character is endearing and makes you want to live in Stars Hollow. Season one introduces you to characters you'll grow to love and want to see more of. Excellent writing and intelligent humor will get you involved and the characters will make you hooked. I'm 35 and love it. The girl who introduced me to Gilmore Girls is 21 and recently, my 62 year old mother became hooked!!! Obviously wonderful for all ages, this is undoubtedly the best show on TV!!!!Read full review
