Editorial Review:
Boola boola! Rory starts her first year at Yale. Moola moola! Lorelai finally opens the Dragonfly Inn although it takes her last dime (and a loan from Luke). The Gilmore girls return for another scintillating snappy-patter year of Gilmore Girls. Welcome Gilmore groupies to the fourth season of the series acclaimed for its agile balance of life and laughter. Oh yes and love. Lorelai has a romantic fling with her father's new younger partner but ends the year with the guy every fan has known was right for her all along. For Rory Cupid seems to be on sabbatical -- then Dean and Jess re-enter her life. Sookie gets a Davey Lane gets a life Kirk gets a girlfriend(!) and you get a 22-episode vacation in Stars Hollow plus DVD Extras and a mint on the pillow.Running Time: 959 min.System Requirements: Running Time 959 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 012569594364
The sum of its parts was definitely greater than the season whole as Gilmore Girls kicked off its fourth year by separating its high-powered mother-daughter duo. After years of toil at snooty private school Chilton, Rory (Alexis Bledel) was finally off to the greener pastures of college as she began her first year at Yale. The not-so-long distance put a crimp in her relationship with her mother, Lorelai (Lauren Graham), as the two were forced to continue their chatty conversations via phone--not exactly the same as trading barbs face-to-face. While Rory adjusted to college life with cranky roommate Paris (Liza Weil) in tow, Lorelai found herself without a daughter, but gained a boyfriend in the form of Jason "Digger" Stiles (Chris Eigeman), a childhood friend and now her father's business partner. But the lure of Stars Hollow, the Gilmores' cherished country town, would prove too hard to resist, as Lorelai finally made plans to open her own inn, and the two ladies found themselves attracted to town residents--for Lorelai, an intensifying of her friendship with diner owner Luke (Scott Patterson), and for Rory, a return to old boyfriend Dean (Jared Padalecki), which put a decided tension into a show that sorely needed it. Nevermind that both men were married to other women!
The first half of the fourth season definitely foundered, as the show's usually topnotch creative team struggled to find a way to keep the Gilmore chemistry afloat despite separating their main characters. There wasn't much drama to be found for Rory in starting college, and though it got off to a great start, Lorelai's relationship with Jason never fully gelled. However, once the show got its girls into the arms of their Stars Hollow men, it turned around almost immediately, surging towards a creative revival that put its ratings higher than they'd ever been before. Along the way to its surprising and complex season finale, there were great episodes to be had: "Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' the Twist," which found Rory and Paris on spring break; "The Reigning Lorelai," centering on an unexpected funeral; "The Festival of Living Art," which had Stars Hollow resident re-creating classic works; and "Luke Can See Her Face," which finally brought the Luke-Lorelai romance to the forefront. The season may have started out rough, but this fourth year ended with a bang, and the promise of more fireworks to come. --Mark Englehart

Rating:  - The Wonderful Gilmore Girls!!
I just have to write a review for this WONDERFUL show!! Gilmore Girls is quite a rarity in the TV world in that it makes the audience feel like they are in their "Little Corner of the World". The setting of Connecticut tied in with the quirky yet earnest characters of small town Stars Hollow and gift wrapped with Emmy deserving performances of the 2 main characters, Lauren Graham(Lorelai) & Alexis Bledel(Rory) make this show simply irresistable. It is such a comforting show to watch and has all ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Transaction
This show has just kept getting better and better. When it was on was one of the most entertaining shows on television. Too bad it ended last year. The forth season exceeds the first, second and third seasons.
Rating: - For the woman
I bought this as a gift for my fiancee, and she loved it and I am glad that I added to her collection, If you are a fan of this show it is recommended.
Rating:  - Great sharing moments.
My daughter (15) and I both really enjoy watching the Gilmore Girls. It leads to a lot of sharing and conversations about her life...always a plus. I highly recommend the Gilmore Girls on DVD. Much better than wading through the commercials and trying to find it on at a convenient time.
Rating: - Love these characters
These characters deserve more than the men they almost have in their lives. Great story, and an ending that is always just out of sight.
