I love the Gilmore Girls! I have a friend that owns all 7 seasons and whenever I would go to her house we would watch whatever episode they were on, because they would watch them in order. I loved the show and even watched it a couple times on my own and am thinking about renting it from the library and watching all the seasons myself. But, I loved the show, sex is implied but you see nothing except maybe a couple in bed together. It is one of the best shows I have ever seen and am sad that it is over. And, by the way, it is very appropriate, as it is rated PG.

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."

- Good role models
I love the Gilmore Girls!
- Lives in TexasI rate this title on for age 9 and give it
This is the perfect show!
Gilmore Girls has been my favorite show since I started watching it when I was 8 or 9. It's a mix of drama and comedy, mostly drama, and is realistic. It's addicting, and even though I've seen every episode of every season, I rewatch them all the time!
I rate this title on for age 13 and give itA great gift for any girl
I'm getting this box set for my little sister for her birthday because I loved watching this show as a teenager. It's a wholesome show that girls can really grow up with.

My favorite show!!!!!!!!
Gilmore girls is an amazing show. I do not think that it isn't appropriate for kids under 14, i started watching it when i was nine and i was fine. the sexual references are very subdle that if you are too young you don't even get it so it doesn't matter. i own every season on dvd and have seen every episode at least three times some i've seen about twenty times (dance marathon & Luke and Lorelai at the wedding) Everyone should watch it, and you cannot just watch it once say it sucked and then leave, you need to see like two episodes consecuitively and then you will love it too. I saw anyone over 10 would be fine and enjoy the show. Its AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
