Love them... The script is well written, though sometimes I feel like the story is a bit stuck. But watching them is like a warm cup of choco-milk - relaxing yet smart.

It was released in 2000, there are seven seasons, and an extra season recently added. The genre is comedy-drama. It is about a woman who was born in a wealthy family, who just pregnant at 16. Wanting more than a glamour lifestyle, she runs away after the baby is born to a small town called Stars Hollow and words in an Inn. It starts if when the girl is in middle school and just shows the crazy, amazing life they live and the bond they share. Goes through alot of realationships as well. Sorry I put a little more then you asked for, but I hope this helps. BTW it's on Netflix and UpTv.

Ahh the Gilmore Girls. I would definitely choose Luke and Jesse. Luke is so grounded and had a good effect on Lorelei’s, dare I say it, more flippant personality. As to Jesse and Rory, they were a good match, in personality, intelligence, and humor. And also, he challenged her to be more then just “everyone’s favorite girl”.

I absolutely adore Gilmore Girls! I grew up watching it with my mom so it has a special place of nostalgia for me. I always wanted Lorelei to be with Luke and I really did like Logan for Rory. Although, I've always thought growing up how great Rory is and I feel like part of becoming an adult was realizing how not so great she is. She's not a perfect character and actually does a lot of cruddy things throughout the series (and the Netflix reboot). I still love the show though!

I love it. I just started watching it on Netflix and I wish they end up with Luke and Logan too.

I think Rorie should end up with Jess but of course things between them didn't end well, I also think that Logan would be perfect for her as well. For lorilie I think that her and Luke are a match made in heaven I always shipped them and I didn't see it coming when they finally ended up together.

I love watching Gilmore Girls during autumn, I don't know why, but it is the perfect season for a cup of tea and a Gilmore Girls marathon. The intro always makes me sing with them.

I really did like Lorelei with Luke, I think that was pretty obviously choice...

However, I hated Logan for Rory... he as so bad for her. I really like Jesse, but more mature Jesse.

Funny story... The Gilmore Girls theme song once pushed me over the edge of sanity and made me vomit.

The annoying theme song matched the annoying show.

Luke and Jesse for the win!!!

Love Gilmore Girls, it's such a comforting show, even through the bad parts. If Stars Hollow were real, I would move in there in a heartbeat.

I loved Gilmore Girls. I had my daughter at 16 so I always related to Lorelei sooo much. When I heard about the extra 4 I was super excited. They were ok but hated how they ended sooooooo much. Always liked Lorelei with Luke and Rory with Jesse.

Yup Luke and Logan for the win.

I was hoping they would do a follow up after Rory's announcement at the end of the mini-series.

I think Rory should have ended with Jess because he pushed her and learned her limits. He also grew from the person she had broken up with.
