Gilmore Girls: Season 6

Gilmore Girls is one of the best series to ever be on television. It has succeeded to bring to life such realistic characters that have become real. The show has always seemed more like real life when compared to other shows. We have experienced the ups and downs, loves and losses of these people- Lorelai, Luke, Rory, Sookie, Emily, Richard- the list goes on. Season 5 ended with what fans have been longing for- the union of Lorelai and Luke as a couple. Season 6 could have flowed a little better, but the writers took many chances here as they kept the show true to form- inventive, true to life and always bringing up the unexpected. Let's be serious. Many are upset that Luke and Lorelai didn't just continue walking into the splendors of love's bliss but these are real, complex characters and both bring much baggage. Also, life just doesn't go complication free. Lorelai, played by the rare and extremely gifted Lauren Graham, has always been extremely strong and fought thru thick and thin. This season her world had many hits- Rory was out of her life for a long while and Luke, whether due to his introduced daughter or not, was very noncommital about the marriage. She had put her heart on the line and she had too much. Seeing these episodes in secondary viewing, I can't wait for the uninterrupted viewing on dvd. Lorelai had an emotional breakdown this year. It was just too much and her depression grew as the season progressed. It should have been and Emmy for Lauren. The show was true to life as it always has been. Lorelai is human and can only take so much. To just stick with Luke and Lorealai as a happy couple would have been unrealistic - it would have taken the show out of of its true form - continuous exploration of the shows complex characters. I myself am not at all concerned with the departure of the shows main creative force and have much hope and anticipation for season 7. Also, to all you Gilmore fans who say stop watching the show - if you loved the show so much you would forgive a season that was different in form from others. All long running shows have had this. Loyal fans will be back and never have lost their love for this innovative, creative work of art. Compared to other tv, even a slightly off season is far superior. The Gilmore Girls is tv at its best.

I'm an old guy who sat by uninterested while my wife and daughter watched episodes of "The Gilmore Girls" when it first aired many years ago. Never really paid much attention since I figured it for a "chick thing." My daughter is now long grown and gone but I knew my wife still loves to watch reruns of the series, so I bought all seven seasons for her for Valentine's Day this year, and I told her I would watch the first few episodes from the beginning with her. I did and I'm hooked! The writing is so quick and witty - a very intelligent and entertaining show with wonderful cast and performances, but THE WRITING! Give it a try and I promise you won't be disappointed.

I loved this season as much as the others!! Im from Australia and we are always the last to get any tv series. The 6th season of Gilmor Girls has not even aired down under yet so I am in love with Amazon for giving me the opportunity to buy this DVD to ease the GG cravings. My beloved package arrived early on a Wednesday morning. I quickly called in sick to work so I could staRt watching immediatly. I was a little apprehensive as most of the reviews I read following up to this great day were quite negative. But as I kept watching I was thoroughly surprised as it was still typical GG. Rori was great, a lot more mature - I love logan, they mesh well together and I think with Rori's help he will be a great part of her life. Im glad Dean is no where to be found I always found him to be really boring and a bit weak. Paris is always fun to watch! and Richard and Emily always live up to form. Lorelei and Luke relationship was not what I expected, it seemed to be a lot of hard work on both parts. The arrival of his daughter was a bit far fetched but she is here and I cant wait to see what is to come. Bring on season 7!!!

When Gilmore Girls first premiered seven years ago, I admit to watching it for the gorgeous small town scenery (albeit backlot sets). But episode one had not signed off when I was totally and ecstatically immersed in the lives of this gathering of quirky, loveable, diverse Stars Hollow residents. The casting for this show is nothing less than genius, from the main characters of Lorelai and Rory down to townspeople Taylor and Kirk. Sookie is a brilliant best pal for Lorelai, Scott Patterson as Luke Danes is every woman's dream, even Miss Patty played by Liz Torres is a gem of a performance every time she graces the set. Sally Struthers also shines as Babette, the completely eccentric next door neighbor lady married to the 'sexy' jazz icon wanna-be. There are no bad casting choices here...Edward Hermann and Kelly Bishop were made to play Emily and Richard Gilmore. But casting aside, it is the poignant and often times hilarious situations they all find themselves in on a daily basis as they go about their everyday lives in this pristine paradise in Connecticut. Relationship is the key here to every story that unfolds. No episode plays out without the underlying urgency to see some relationship either grow, change, or wither. There is always a metamorphises taking place of one kind or another, and while I am sorry to see the Palladino's say "Goodbye", I have faith that season seven will live up to the greatness of the previous seasons. Why? Because anyone who has watched this show with any amount of real attention, KNOWS which direction it should go, KNOWS the feelings and attitudes of the characters well enough to take them in a direction true to the last six years. I only hope in conveying the stories, the new team of writers has the ability to tackle those Gilmorisms for which the show is famous. I will be sad to ever see this show end, it will be like losing close and beloved family...and I will grieve! Thank God for syndication.

I've been a fan of Gilmore Girls since the show first aired and I was really disappointed to hear the talk of how Season 6 wasn't any good or really took the show way off course, but after getting the DVDs, I'm really pleased to see that these reviews were way off base. The show has the same funny lines, the same great cast and perhaps most importantly the same important life lessons. We all continually strive for the betterment of our lives and I think this season brings to light the fact that just because things are wonderful or perfect (Rory's life) it doesn't mean they cannot go horribly wrong in an instant. While it's frustrating and disappointing, it adds a bit of reality to the otherwise pristine life of Rory Gilmore. It could easily been argued that her life was to unrealistic. Regardless of whether your a new fan or an old one, I highly recommend this series and season to you for viewing pleasure. There are very few shows that my wife and I watch and this one is a mainstay. We've bought all the DVD seasons so far and will continue as long as the series goes on. If your a new fan, start with the first season, but be warned... You'll be hooked!

Great!

This is one of the only family series on TV that i have ever liked. Its not corny or has religious tones in any way and yet i really like its values. Lorelai and Rory have the best relationship and one that seems very real to me. I also love the other characters who are corky and not "air brushed" like characters in other tv series. It always puts me in a good mood to see this. Its a great way to take a break from life. Very funny, clever and comforting. I liked this season because it was a little "darker" than the other ones. Both are going through difficulties in their lifes which don't just get resolved like magic but is something that they have to work through.

Poeple need to calm down about how different season 6 is from the others. Stop making rash, false and ridiculous statements about how "the show is dead" and how you are no longer going to watch new or even previous episodes anymore. You aren't true GG fans. Get a clue. I've been a fan from day 1, have seen every episode and can safely say I know this show inside out. People are comparing season 6 to the earlier seasons(1-3), where Lorelai and Rory were inseparable. The show has grown since then, as was always the intention. Compare it to seasons 4 and 5, which is the direction the show was always meant to take, as the premise of Rory going to college and moving away from home was set from the very beginning. After watching season 5(which is acclaimed by both fans and critics alike as the series best season),I can't see much difference in the show as it moves through season 6. Yes, there's the Lorelai/Rory separation, but this is handled so very well and acted beautifully. Plus, it allows for episode 9(the fantastic episode in which Rory and Lorelai reunite-now my favourite episode ever) which is absolutely touching, and could not have taken place without the dramatic and suspensful episodes which preceeded it. The core components of the show that made us fans are all still there, and just as strong as ever. Wit, one liners, eccentric characters, warmth, brilliant acting and drama. They have always mixed drama with comedy, and progressed the characters each season. Lorelai and Rory have fought before..and believe it or not 21 year old college students DO go through phases of uncertainty and disillusionment. Why are people so shocked with the so called dramatic twists of this season? I watch this show to be entertained, drawn into the characters, be surprised and to laugh. Season 6 provides all of this. Re-watch the episodes people, you will find you have made an incorrect judgement. The first 4 episodes are a little more sombre than the series as a whole, however episode 5 is where it picks up. The Lorelai/Rory separation storyline actually really starts to work here as Emily and Richard shine, and there are some very funny scenes with the ladies of the DAR, Paris, and of course who can forget Emily's legendary verbal attack on Mrs Huntzburger? These episodes were as real and funny as any of the previous seasons. From Episode 9 onwards the show really steps it up. Paris as the editor of the Yale daily news, Rory starting work for a newspaper, Luke becoming a Dad-some of the best plotlines and funniest moments of the shows entire run. The episodes where Rory and Lorelai return to Friday night dinners and where Lane gets married are hands down some of the best episodes of the shows entire 6 season run. Episodes 10 and 11 of this season are pretty close behind and had some genuine laugh out loud moments. And a season cliffhanger that seems out of character? Do you people not remember the season 4 ender with Rory and Dean? This show has never been afraid to push boundaries that may make the characters less likeable. Yes Luke is a little grumpy, but he has always been grumpy-that's his character. I still found him endearing, especially as the overprotective, kindof dorky Dad to April. And Lorelai has lost her mojo?? Never! Wrong, wrong, wrong people. She's as strong and defiant as ever, and the one liners and pop culture references continue to fly out of her mouth faster than any other character on t.v. For those of you who haven't seen the 6th season yet and are worried it isn't as sharp, witty, funny and surprising as the other seasons..rest assured. After the first 4 episdoes, you will find yourself in familiar territory. Plus, the acting is the best it's ever been. Yes the situation with Lorelai running to Chris in the finale was dramatic and places her relationship with Luke in doubt. But lets face it-Luke and Lorelai have never had a smooth relationship and have only been together since the end of season 4. For me, I am VERY intrigued as to how this situation is handled, and am waiting eagerly for the commencement of season 7 to find out. Keeping your audience on it's toes and in suspense as opposed to predictability is what has always separated Gilmore Girls from the rest of the pack. Seasons 5 and 6 were pretty much on par as the highest overall rating seasons of the Gilmore Girls thus far, and the dvd for season 6 is number 13 on the bestsellers list here, and hasn't even been released yet! Bad season huh?-you people need to stop microwaving with the door open.

Good series

Acquistato per un’amica anni fa approfittando, se non ricordo male, di una promozione. Io ho tutta la collezione, acquistata a suo tempo tramite le classiche uscite in edicola che ricordo con un certo filo di nostalgia, cosa che ad oggi non mi sembra più in voga. Per comodità sto rivedendo la serie in streaming su Prime ed è sempre una piacevole visione per staccare dal lavoro e rilassarsi. Dialoghi e humour che ti fanno veramente dimenticare stress e i classici problemi quotidiani. Battute esilaranti ma anche di un certo livello. Sto ancora finendo la prima stagione ma non ricordo molto di tutta la serie tv. Guardandolo con gli occhi di una 41enne trovo un po’ esagerato il conflitto tra Emily e Lorelai; non so se sia una cosa voluta dagli sceneggiatori o solo un segno dei tempi di allora: tutto questo voler ogni volta “puntare un po’ il dito” contro la protagonista per le sue scelte e per il fatto di essere rimasta incinta a 16 anni l’ho trovato un po’ troppo pesante e bacchettone; in alcune scene trovo che Lorelai venga ingiustamente giudicata dalla famiglia e da chi fa parte di quel mondo agiato; parlo da 40enne e siamo anche nel 2025 dove le cose sono effettivamente ben diverse rispetto a vent’anni fa. Infatti, rivedendolo adesso con gli occhi di un’adulta non ricordavo quanto questo rapporto madre-figlia e madre-padre fosse così pesante ma immagino che fosse anche un effetto voluto per marcare la pesantezza di una classe sociale snob e dei genitori che sostanzialmente hanno sempre voluto controllare la propria figlia in tutte le sue scelte; da adolescente davo molta ragione a Lorelai; ad oggi (benché non sia madre) comprendo anche le ragioni di Emily e quanto il suo comportamento duro (che alla fine non è poi così diversa dalla figlia) fosse solo un modo per sopportare il dolore di aver perso una figlia che per anni aveva innalzato un muro contro la famiglia Gilmore. Sono curiosa di vedere come si evolverà il loro rapporto. È una di quelle serie tv che devi vedere in varie fasi della vita. Se da adolescente mi pareva più interessante il rapporto tra Rory e Lorelai (anche per la giovane età della madre che è come un’amica) ad oggi quello che secondo me è al cuore della serie tv e su cui ruota il tutto è proprio il rapporto tra Emily e Lorelai. Una serie tv che fa crescere anche gli spettatori!

Für alle Gilmore Fans ein Hit.

quand la série passait à la télé, par manque de temps j'ai beaucoup zappé! mais je l'ai redécouverte en DVD et franchement cette fois j'ai bien accroché! une série pleine de rebondissement, d'humour, drôle avec parfois des hauts et des bas pour nos personnages, avec des dialogues parfois très speed mais bien recherchés! bref une série comme on n'en fait peu et c'est bien dommage! Les DVD de certaines saisons sont quand a eux tellement demandées et en très petites quantités disponibles qu'à peine arrivés, ils sont déjà en rupture de stock! il ne me manque plus que la saison 6 a acheté en DVD et j'espère qu'amazon les remettront en vente rapidement.

Perfecto gracias
