What Parents Need to Know
About Gilmore Girls
Parents need to know that, thanks to its potential to stimulate relevant conversation, they would benefit from watching this show with their teens. One of the two central characters is a single mother raising the daughter she had as a teenager. Themes of class, tenacity, and family dynamics are common threads. The program delivers positive messages about diversity and learning. Characters of all races, shapes, and sizes are positively represented. All of these positives outweigh any iffy episode-to-episode content, which is why we rate this show "on."

I aboslutely love Gilmore Girls, it is my favorite show...im 14yrs of age and im now getting into it...younger children might not have much interest in it, probably dont understand alot that happens...im a little worried about the whole sex thing...they do talk alot about it, but a good thing is they dont really show very much on that subject, mostly they show kissing which is fine...because that is a normal thing for children to see...thankfully they dont show anything too inappropriate!! Wonderful Show

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
I love this show!!! Most episodes are okay for 12-year-olds but a few have more sex then Lorelai's usual dirty jokes. Most of the messages are positive, i.e. Rory loosing her virginity is portrayed as a very bad thing. Luke is a good role model, despite being a hermit. Parents will love all the 80's references. Fantastic Show.
