Gilmore Girls (Season 4) DVD ReviewPosted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010 The first script from the Family Friendly Forum?s script development fund to finally make it to the small screen, Gilmore Girls has paid off enormously for its creators. The result of the unified efforts of that organization and the WB Network, the show has followed on the heels of other successful WB programs such as Dawson?s Creek, Felicity, and Smallville. Dismissed by critics initially, the show has rocketed up the Neilsen ratings nonetheless. Set in the small idyllic town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, Gilmore Girls follows the lives of two central characters, Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory, as they attempt to deal with the outside world and each other. With Rory being the product of a teenage pregnancy, Lorelai is determined to raise her daughter in such a way that she can avoid the mistakes of her mother?s past. Filled with drama, love, friendship, and eccentric characters, Gilmore Girls ranks as of the best original series of the decade? The Gilmore Girls (Season 4) DVD features a number of touching episodes including the season premiere ?Ballrooms and Biscotti? in which Lorelai and Rory return from their European vacation to experience a whirlwind of activity. Taylor gets upset when Rory declines the offer to be the Stars Hollow Ice Cream Queen, while Rory herself is in a panic after realizing she wrote the wrong date for freshman orientation on her calendar. Now, she must fit a week?s worth of preparation into two days, and Emily isn?t very happy about it? Other notable episodes from Season 4 include ?The Nanny and the Professor? in which Rory becomes concerned when Paris?s new boyfriend turns out to be one of her college professors, and ?Luke Can See Her Face? in which a self-help tape and a long talk with Jess help Luke to envision a path to the relationship he?s been seeking all along?
