The rapid-paced banter between the mother-daughter team of Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) is the calling card for Gilmore Girls. The show's sixth year--which aired during the 2005-2006 TV season--remains witty, charming, and touching. The previous season left Yale undergrad Rory in trouble with the law after a night of very un-Gilmore-like behavior with her rich, handsome boyfriend Logan (Matt Czuchry). This season opens with Rory potentially facing jail time, undecided about returning to college, and--most disturbingly of all--fighting with her mother. This isn't a fight over who gets to eat the last egg roll, but rather a battle of wills. It will take a few episodes before the two are talking to each other again and the viewer can breathe a sigh of relief that all is well in Stars Hollow. In the meantime, Rory moves into her busybody grandparents' pool house. One evening, they invite their minister over to dinner. His job? To encourage Rory to remain chaste. Not one to be told how to live her life, Rory is nonplussed. After telling him he's a little too late to offer that advice, she asks, "Have you seen The 40 Year Old Virgin"?

Always a pleasure...

I like Gilmore Girls- there it is in black and white and once again, I have purchased the complete set. The only draw back (hence the 4 stars) is the it is missing the Gilmore-ism booklet which explains Amy and Dave's obsure references. Since they left, I guess they didn't feel the need to fill us in- I do miss that, but otherwise, what you see on the show is what you are getting. Can't be disappointed, now can you?

love it

i love this season so much. seeing jess again is so great. they need to make more parts for him. he looks even good on his new show on 10. this is a must get season.

Fall from Gilmore Grace

Whether because of Sherman-Pallandino's imminent departure or the ennui that can kill any long-term artistic endeavor, this season took an abrupt left turn... into a brick wall. Dialogue that, while parodied on Mad TV, etc., was still stimulating, scintallating and just plain fun, became overworked and irritating. As in: here's a joke for you, and another, and another... I felt I was continually poked in the ribs for laughs I couldn't muster. Pulling Sonic Youth, etc., into the street musician episode felt like an act of desperation, like, "We're still one of the coolest shows on TV, right?" Things got worse as the season progressed and a bloated Lorelai in suddenly dowdy dresses staggers from one failure to another. Yes, a normal woman would probably have this reaction, and a normal woman might start dressing more age-appropriately. But this is entertainment, this is the GGs, and why didn't Lorelai's sense of style morph into slighly longer pencil skirts and less goofy Ts? Just as bad was the "artistic" camera work in the episode that included a disjointed dinner conversation/argument at the grandparents', close-ups of Lorelai's miserable face... it seems to me that whoever has been taking the show over thought it an opportunity to make something good (change) out of something bad (the loss of Pallandino, the probable boredom of the writers, etc.). Consistency, however dull it might be to create, would have been a better choice. At this point (Season 7) I tune in out of boredom/mild curiosity that's close to being overweighed by sadness - didn't this used to be a brilliant, heartwarming show? I should probably add that I don't care for the ongoing transformation of Rory from a thoughtful, caring, relatively unmaterialistic intellectual into a supermodel too busy for her mother, running with the jet set, or for Logan, or for the new character, Luke's daughter. I did enjoy seeing reliably good acting from the actress playing Luke's former girlfriend - but am too lazy to look up her name. In any case, one can only hope a new show will fill the non-cable TV void left by what used to be the GGs.
