Gilmore Girls DVD Review
Overview
"Gilmore Girls," celebrated with both an Emmy and a Golden Globe nomination in its first five seasons, has found more love from its audience than from critics. The show uniquely emerged from the Family Friendly Forum's script development fund, marking the first time a script from this initiative became a regular series. The WB Network, known for hits like "Dawson's Creek," "Felicity," "Angel," and "Smallville," spearheaded this effort to promote family-friendly programming. "Gilmore Girls" beautifully captures the bond between a mother and daughter, set against the quaint backdrop of Stars Hollow, Connecticut?"a location familiar from "The Dukes Of Hazzard."
Plot and Characters
Set in an idyllic Connecticut town teeming with diverse characters, "Gilmore Girls" explores the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel). Lorelai, having raised Rory as a single parent from a young age, is determined to give her daughter the opportunities she missed. As Rory, who shares many of her mother's interests, prepares for college, Lorelai is particularly concerned about her daughter's romantic choices, fearing history might repeat itself. While often likened to a soap opera, the series is a heartfelt drama focused on love, friendship, and the shared growth of the mother-daughter duo.
DVD Features
The "Gilmore Girls" DVD offers several heartwarming episodes, starting with the series premiere where Rory is accepted into the prestigious Chilton prep school. Lorelai, struggling to pay the tuition, reluctantly reaches out to her estranged parents for financial help. They agree, on the condition of weekly family dinners. Meanwhile, Rory has a crush on a transfer student, which makes her hesitant about Chilton. This leads to tension between her and Lorelai, who fears Rory might repeat her romantic mistakes. After a family dinner, Rory realizes the sacrifices her mother has made, leading to reconciliation.
Additional standout episodes include "Forgiveness and Stuff," where Rory and Lorelai mend their rift just before Christmas, and "The Third Lorelai," where Emily opposes a trust fund setup for Rory by her former mother-in-law, fearing it might distance her from her granddaughter.
