The Gilmore Girls


Gilmore Girls TV Review

What is it that draws me back time and time again to the charmingly quaint New England town of Stars Hollow Connecticut ?
Is it thirty something yummy Mommy with a rack, Loreli Gilmore played out with a strange manic style by Lauren Graham or is it the disarming cute Rory Gilmore played in a rather understated fashion by the petite Alexis Bledel ?
It could even be some of the minor characters Lane Kim (Keiko Agena) the repressed Korean girl who yearns to be a punk rocker or Kirk (Sean Gunn) the small town's lovable but bizarre jack of all trades, I would actual rate him higher than Luke Danes ( Scott Patterson) as an enjoyable character to watch. But it is first and foremost a chick show which means excessivly elabrate romantic entangelments.
Luke is the macho love interest of the MILF Lorelai, working class Luke is hairy, manly and runs a small humble but clean and honest diner in town.
The other love interest is the Rory’s father Christopher Hayden (David Sutcliffe) he is cute, some what sissy but seriously rich. He inherited a pile of money from somebody and does some sort of finance thing.
I was some what disturbed when I discovered during my research for this article that the whole thing was conceived with help from the Family friendly programming forum the F.F.P.F. which is part of the Association of National advertisers or A.N.A. The representative body of marketers in the USA all of which smells like fascist state propaganda . Creating the programs according to their own code can eliminate the thereat of advertisers boycotts and who the hell actually writes the agenda for these quasi judicial bodies anyway ?.
The main tensions in the life of Loerlai are her strained relationship with her parent especially her mother Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop) as the third of the "Gilmore Girls" their mother represents all of the old school Protestant family values that the precocious and rather slutty Lorelai rebels from. She left her palatial family home after becoming pregnant and chose the road of a single mother over that of a Ivy leaguer ( Seven Sister ).
Up to the point where solo Mummy arrives back on the door step of her old school mother to beg for the serious dosh required to get her own daughter Delightful Rory the Harvard education she so desparately wants. And so the power of capitalism brings the family together.
The keys to the gates of power in the New Republic (east coast ) are the degrees and diploma of the educational institutions and the contacts they represent. These gates are guarded by those of the exact same class whose interests the serve just like the A.N.A & the F.F.P.F.

It is now cancelled cut, over and done with final episode aired in the States may 15th it now belongs to history
