"Gilmore girls" is very unique series and one of my favorites it looks like many other series from a glimpse but after watching a few eps you know there something special about this one.
Story line: The show revolves around a mother daughter relationship, the mother
Lorelai Gilmore ( Lauren Graham) got pregnant in the age of sixteen while living in a very old fashioned conservative house and had to run from home. Lorelai basically raised her daughter Rory all on her own without any help, she chose the strange strange small town of stars hollow as her home where she works and lives. the small town embraced the young mother and her tiny daughter, and it all turned out OK and since both mother and daughter have only 16 years apart they are more friends then anything else so they share everything in their lifes.
What is so special about this show?
1.Normal 45 minute show has around 60 pages of script this show has between 80-90 pages, and this is true to every ep. The reason the show has so much text is the speed in which Lorelai talks and the unbelievable amount of pop culture references thrown every step.
2. Golden globe nominated actress Lauren graham who plays one of the wittiest characters ever seen on television since 'Frasier crane'. Lorelai can come up with one unbelievable line after another. she drives her parents and male friends nuts in a way you can't believe it. She struggles with raising a daughter to have a better life then she did and yet they are so much alike its scary. and it does not hurt she is one of the prettiest and sexiest characters on American television above the age of thirty.
3. Alexis bledel who play Rory Gilmore is one of the smartest 16 year old girls ever on television, Amy Sherman paladino writes such incredible dialogues that you can stay amazed for minutes after another perfect scene is over.
4. The parents played by two film greats like Edward Herrmann and Kelly bishop brings the show a whole different dimension, you start by hating Emily Gilmore for all the tough things every parent does, but bishop put so much life into this character and so much dept that she might end up as your favorite. Herrmann shows us in a single sentence why he is in the top of his profession for so many years.
Another huge reason to love this show is the collection of odd ball and lovable characters from Michel the annoying French guy to the accident prone chef sookie.
This show is about the relationships of three generations of the Gilmore girls all met with equally witty leading men from Luke the owner of the diner to max the teacher from Rory's school.
if you like smart dialogue and a show that can really make you think this is the show for you.
