Product Description 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).

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.

Goodies & Gossip - Fun Factios appear on screen throughout the Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' the Twist episode. desertcart.com 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 Review: Best Show Ever! - Gilmore girls is one of the best shows ever made for TV. This season was no exception. Some people claim that the first half of the season is dry and lacking creativity because Rory goes off to Yale. However, have you ever gone off on a new adventure in your life and have the start of it kinda trying to find your place? That's what Rory's story is about. Her trying to find her place at Yale, and coping with all the changes in her life. Same with Loralai, trying to cope with having Rory gone from the home. Loralai is also changing her life, too. The new inn is a big stress factor, and one can not just go into a new life situation and not have problems. I believe the writers were trying to incorporate that into the writing. They are very creative for that. Leaves you feeling like the characters. Trying to find your place. Empathize! As for Digger Stiles, you can't like him too much because Luke and Loralai are meant to be together and you know that at the end of the show they will be. If you think Digger and Loralai are too good together, then why get rid of him? He's just a filler for the show, and for the whole dynamic with Emily and Richard. Witty and charming and fairly wholesome except for a couple of the episodes. I guess it gives you something to talk about with your daughter. A show for the whole family. Highly recommended. Review: LOVE this series - My daughters (14 and 10 at the time of this review) and I make a habit of "gilmore-ing" (v) on a regular basis. We buy snacks, watch most of a season in a day, and talk about the show all the way through. We relate to the characters on a personal level, yet without the charm of Stars Hollow to nestle into at the end of the day unfortunately. The thing is, Gilmore Girls is a smart show. It throws out references so fast that watching it feels energizing rather than draining. The fashion is about a year or two ahead usually, which is fun. Plus,. in this age of ClearChannel radio, it is great to hear lesser-known bands featured on a regular basis. We are definitely huge fans of Gilmore Girls, but would I enjoy it as much if I did not have daughters? I'm not sure. I enjoy having a show that doesn't wrap things up neatly most of the time, and a show that doesn't develop around characters who fit into the "acceptable role model" slot. These characters are good people who screw up as they are living their daily lives. And they keep going, keep connecting with the world around them, and keep loving each other. It is another one of those shows that certain parents wouldn't trust their kids to be able to interpret. Watching a show about a single mother who makes something of herself in spite of a teenage pregnancy isn't going to say "This is a good idea." What it says is that life is messy, and the thing is to keep moving ahead with as much grace and vision as possible.

A guy's review...
Listen, when my wife first suggested we watch Gilmore Girls, I felt as though I needed to eat a raw steak just to counter the femininity of the idea. A show about two girls? And their trials and tribulations as mother and daughter? PLEASE. Then I watched an episode. Then a second. Soon I was on Amazon buying SEASONS. Pathetic? Weak? I don't think so. If you have have the ability to laugh, then this show is something you need to watch! The witty dialog is unmatched by any other television show. Mix in a little pop culture and a manly diner owner and his nephew who balance things out, and you have a show that you BOTH can watch. Some of the characters are absolutely unbelievable...at first. Then you get to know Stars Hollow a little better, and you realize that you have in fact visited towns across the world that seem to be real, and yet totally beyond reality at the same time. Suddenly you recognize you KNOW a Taylor Doose - I know several Michels. In all seriousness, I have absolutely fallen in love with this clever and intensely well-written show. I have a sneaky suspicion that if you looked at the original show demographics, a surprisingly significant amount of men watched this it, and I am not ashamed to admit that I ask to re-watch it as often as my wife does. HIGHLY recommended. Oy with the poodles already!

Not the best of the seasons, but still has its high points
Season Four was a hard season for the Gilmore Girls, and this was primarily because of Rory's [Alexis Bledel] going off to Yale. This changed the dynamics of Lorelai [Lauren Graham's] and Rory's interaction, being reduced to mainly trying to get each other on the cellphone. There was an element of being lost here for both characters, but especially so with Rory, who after breaking up with Jess in Season three [well, technically it was Jess just walking out on Rory] finds herself trying to adapt to a whole new environment [the only constant being Paris, who is her roomie at Yale] and with no real romantic suitors around. Lorelai finds herself and Sookie seeing their dreams of an inn becoming a reality, though with many problems in between. Lorelai gets romantically entangled with her father's business partner, Jason aka Digger Stiles [Chris Eigeman] and the problems the relationship poses.However, Jason is not really a character that appeals to viewers, coming across as stuffy and unsuitable for Lorelai. Despite these hiccups, there are some truly great episodes which keep viewers entertained [The Festival of Living Art for example, and the episode where Luke realises a certain winsome coffee addict is his true soulmate].All these and more will keep fans happy and new viewers entertained.

Good series
A**O
Piacevole, ironico, rilassante. E' veramente una serie televisiva bella e pulita da vedere. Uno spaccato di vita che emoziona e commuove, diverte e, secondo me, è anche molto educativo. Una vera lezione di vita per tanti adolescenti ed i relativi genitori. Non ci sono volgarità, parole non adatte, tutto scorre piacevolmente, la storia ti prende, ti avvolge, ti cattura. Come nel titolo: BELLISSIMO !!!

Ich liebe diese Serie und wollte daher alle Staffeln auf DVD haben. Ich habe sie mir schon mind. 2-3 mal angesehen und kriege nicht genug. Ich habe noch die alte Verpackung mit dem Aufklappschuber inkl. Booklet erhalten, da ich die DVD schon vor einigen Jahren gekauft habe. Das finde ich toll. Denn ab der 5. Staffel haben sie eine andere Verpackung der DVD's gewählt bei denen das Booklet fehlt, welches bei den ersten 4 Staffeln im Aufklappschuber dabei ist. Da aber auf den einzelnen DVD-Hüllen der neuen Verpackung auch die Kurzinfos draufstehen, ist es auch ok. Für alle, die die Gilmores lieben und sie immer dann sehen wollen, wenn sie Lust darauf haben. Daher klare Kaufempfehlung!

Only recently ive started watching gilmore girls, and the 1st episode i saw was hilarious, full of drama and fast paced. If you havnt bought gilmore girls yet you have to, it is full of personality! never gets boring! Gilmore Girls - Season 4 [DVD ]Series 4 isnt my favourite but it's still hilariously packed full of drama and surprises.Alexis Bledel, Lauren Graham and the rest of Stars Hollow (The Town) residents are amazingly good actors with fast talking dialogue and have won many awards. I can not state one bad point about GILMORE GIRLS!!!
