Get More Gilmore!
By Edward Lee
“The Show That Almost Wasn’t.”

That’s the most surprising lesson learned regarding the nature of television production — as told by the show’s creator Amy Sherman-Palladino — in the WB’s stellar GILMORE GIRLS release: Ms. S-P had pitched a potpourri of programs for WB executives, and, when they asked for more, she made up an idea on the spot — with no preparation or background detail — which the executives took! Then, Ms. S-P had to go and develop it.

GILMORE GIRLS arguably stands as a benchmark in television history. In a good deal of ways, the program is like SEINFELD: if you don’t get it, you won’t get it. In other ways, it’s a high quality Hallmark Channel movie-of-the-week, presently stretching out beyond it is fourth season and soon to be entering it is fifth. Still, in more ways, there’s perfectly not one thing else like it on television.

GG is far more than just the story of Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter, Lorelai “Rory” Gilmore: it’s the story of the fictional town known as Star’s Hollow — the dreamland for bed-n-breakfast businesses — and the odd assortment of characters who occur to live, work, and breathe there. While the centerpiece is distinctly the Gilmore family — a contemporization of the BRADY BUNCH, if there could ever be such a thing — the spun of the show is, to it is benefit, the plethora of terrifically imagined and in a unique manner quirky townsfolk who populate the secondary storylines.

And, yes, the acting is top notch. The direction is utterly superb. The writing is, by far, some of the most deserving work being put up on the boob tube today.

Still, GG is on the WB, meaning that it will, more than likely, never find the kind of ratings the show deserves. Like STAR TREK, GILMORE will find it is unfeigned financial potential in retail and DVD releases … much like this current release of the 21 1st season episodes.

To my delight, I’m just ran into these television characters. My wife has watched the show since the beginning, but I always dismissed it as a “chick flick,” tuning it out to spend my time on other shows. However, she convinced me to give it a prospect this past season (its fourth), and now — here am I — writing a review for Season 1 that we watched together nearly non-stop. Others here have raved in regards to the quality of the writing — the unfeigned lifeblood of the program — and I wouldn’t even undertake to do GILMORE a disservice in talking about it other than to add “every good thing that’s been said here is utterly not sufficient to sanctify how well, apparently, each episode is written.”

Honestly, GILMORE is actually that good.

Truth be told, the extras are breathtakingly thin — but of good quality — on this 1st season release, exceptionally giving careful consideration to the fact that the show is presently in production for the WB. Disc 6 includes a handful of deleted scenes; a mini-doc with a heap of revealing perceptivities from the show’s creator, cast, and crew; and some scenes from respective sequences edited together in a piece that tries to capture the ‘essence’ of what makes GILMORE GIRLS as remarkable a television accomplishment as it is. One would think that Warner Brothers would’ve offered more — in-depth consultations with the series cast OR, minimally, an audio commentary or two — but, sadly, that isn’t the case. As a result, one could argue that the studio — as Amy Sherman-Palladino points out in the scant 30 minute documentary — has underestimated the intelligence of it is audience, focusing only on the commercialism of the program and not feeding the fanbase brain.

The 6-disc set is staged in full screen format. The video quality is excellent. The sound quality is magnificent (there are a handful of scenes that are hard to listen b/c of verbal pacing, not production issues). Overall, this is one great package only lessened by what they chose not to provide: audio commentaries.

It’s About Time
By Shawn Farrell
No vampires to slay. No kryptonite “Freaks of the Week.” No friggin creeks that you wish the series’ namesake to drown in. Nothing but a well-written, wondrously cast show that is long overdue for a DVD release. When the initial season DVD release hits shelves, the fourth season ought to be close to wrapping up on the WB, and hopefully will carry on everything when it comes to the show that made the primary sequences so enjoyable.

Set in a fictional Connecticut town called Stars Hollow, The Gilmore Girls follows the lives of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, a a single mother and teenage daughter who portion a bond that is as much best friends as it is that of a mother and child. The series begins with Rory’s acceptance into the esteemed Chilton Academy and Lorelai’s frantic desire to make that happen, which much to her chagrin, involves the support of her own mother, Emily Gilmore (played by the magnificent Kelly Bishop) and father Richard (Edward Herman). Growing up the rebellious daughter of wealthy society types and getting pregnant at age 16 didn’t incisively endear them to each other. It is Lorelai’s kinship with her parents that drives much of her character’s motivation.

While life as a single mother might be hard, Lorelai is not without a support system. Stars Hollow is populated with an impressive collection of colorful characters, from the gruff, flannel-wearing diner owner, Luke, to Lorelai’s coworker and best friend Sookie and the annoying Frenchman, Michel.

Rory, too, has a group of close friends and even closer enemies. Lane Kim, daughter of a Korean Bible beater is the music obsessed best friend, Dean (Jared Padelecki) is her introductory boyfriend and Paris, her academic and social rival. As is the case with fundamentally anything on the WB, Chad Michael Murray likewise finds his way into her life, as do Madeline and Louise, Paris’ oversexed friends and Chilton classmates.

Some of the spotlight sequences from this debut season include Concert Interupticus – which featured a Bangles performance and hinted that there might be a lot of degree of sentiment underneath Paris’ chilly exterior, and Emily in Wonderland – where Emily redecorates Rory’s bedroom. There are 20 more episodes, each with moments or more of authenti wit and even more authenti heart.

All of this considered, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, as Lorelai and Rory, are the show’s driving force. Their chemistry, combined with the clever dialog and rapid-fire delivery, have made this one of the best shows on tv. And now, at long last, on DVD!

Gilmore Girls not just for Girls
By Brian
I have to confess that I’m as macho as the next guy. I like action movies, sci-fi and comedy. When I original heard of Gilmore Girls I just wrote it off as another show that I would skip. That is until I actually saw an episode. That one episode opened my eyes and forced me to exaggerate my definition of quality television. I have never encounted a show whose dialog was so SHARP and yet managed to stay so close to how real humans would react. The charecters, both main and in the background, are unforgettable and unique. And I will say to any person who asks, whoever made the decision to cast the parts of Rory and Lorilei were utterly brilliant. The alchemy amidst the two just takes your breath away. It blows my mind that I have to keep reminding myself that they are not mother and daughter in real life. I think what ultimately draws me as a viewer is that way it perfectly mixes sharp dialogue, drama, humor, and most of all the way it shows not just what is going on on the surface of a person but underneath as well. I still proudly call myself a guy. Its just that now guys who are into quality television have Gilmore Girls to add to their list as well
