Gilmore Girls will be a show you'll one day be forcing your own daughter to sit town and watch. Whether it be for the fast-paced witty banter or the just-odd-enough-without-being-downright-creepy citizens of the small town setting, Stars Hollow, this show brought everything it could to the table for 7 years. The first 6 seasons are where the meat is all at. The ups and downs of the lives of best friends for life/mother daughter duo Lorelai and Rory Gilmore will capture your heart, lock it away, and throw the key away. Lorelai was a teen mom who struck out on her own when Rory was born to get away from her rich blue-blooded family. She grew into the woman (admit it) we all want to be. Beautiful, funny, and down right intelligent, we see as she raises bookworm Rory through high school, and how their relationship takes on a new light as she enters college. As you reach season 7 however, you will see the unfortunate downward spiral and blow the plot took as original creator and writer Amy Sherman-Palladino and her sidekick husband Daniel Palladino left the show. It’s still worth a watch in my opinion, as you will be so invested in these characters you will find it impossible to not see where Rory and Lorelai ultimately end up. The cult following of this show are still true to this two woman sisterhood. A quick google search will lead you to essays of debate and criticism. Gilmore Girls is a true marvel of television history. One last remark before you embark on the quirky adventure into Stars Hollow, don’t let the constant onslaught of pop culture references get you down, the DVDs and box set come with your own handy-dandy Gilmore-isms guidebook!
