Critical response.
Upon arrival, "Gilmore Girls" was lauded for its distinct dialogue infused style par creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, the strength of the dynamic familial themes, and the performances of its cast, particularly leading star Lauren Graham.
In the "San Francisco Chronicle" review of the first season, John Carman says: "It's cross-generational, warm-the-cockles viewing, and it's a terrific show.
Can this really be the WB, niche broadcaster to horny mall rats?"
"Newsday" says in reviewing the show "The way in which "Gilmore Girls" digs lightly but firmly into deep-seated emotion is as magical as the way Lorelai's yellow dream daisies end up scattered all over their town.
We weekly wish we were there."
In the "Orlando Sentinel" review of the second season premiere, critic Hal Boedeker writes "Series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino writes clever dialogue and ingratiating comedy, but she also knows how to do bittersweet drama.
That " Gilmore Girls" is a touching comedy is also a tribute to the actors, led by the luminous Graham.
The Gilmore family is one television clan worth knowing, and that can't be said too often these days.
"The A.V.
Club" included in November 2009 the episode "They Shoot Gilmores, Don’t They?"
on its list of the best TV episodes of the decade.
Ken Tucker from "Entertainment Weekly" rated the seasons one to six "A" and the last season "C".
He wrote that Lorelai and Rory Gilmore combined with "Sherman-Palladino's protean gift for cultural references in some cross between "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and "Ulysses"," made you live each week in "an old world with a fresh coat of words."
He described the last season as "a death-blow season was more accurately "Gilmore Ghosts", as the exhausted actors bumped into the furniture searching for their departed souls and smart punchlines" but concluded the previous seasons were "six seasons of magnificent mixed emotions, with performances as shaded as a spot under a Stars Hollow elm tree.
""Gilmore Girls" was listed as one of "Time" magazine's "All-TIME 100 TV Shows."
"Entertainment Weekly" put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, "Thank you, fast-talking Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, for suggesting moms and teenage daughters really can get along—all it takes is love, patience, and copious quantities of coffee."
Alan Sepinwall included the show in his "Best of the 00s in Comedies" list, saying: "It got on the air thanks in part to a coalition of advertisers looking for family-friendly programming, and "Gilmore" offered up an unconventional but enormously appealing family: mom Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and teen daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel), so close in age that they often seemed more like sisters, plus the wealthy parents (Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrmann) Lorelai split from after getting pregnant at 16.
As the quippy, pop culture-quoting younger Gilmores were forced to reconnect with their repressed elders, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino got plenty of laughs and tears out of the generational divide, and out of showing the family Lorelai created for herself and her daughter in the idealized, Norman Rockwell-esque town of Stars Hollow.
At its best, "Gilmore Girls" was pure, concentrated happiness."
As signalled by its tagline "Life's short.
Talk fast", "Gilmore Girls" is known for its fast-paced dialogue filled with pop-culture references.
Much of the dialogue is peppered with references to film, television shows, music, literature and celebrity culture.
The relative obscurity of some of these allusions resulted in the production of "Gilmore-isms" booklets included by the WB in the DVD sets of the first four seasons.
Subtitled "The 411 on many of the show's witty and memorable wordplays and pop culture references", the booklets also contain comments from the show creators.
"Gilmore Girls" also relied on a master shot filming style, in which a scene is filmed to frame characters and their dialogue together within a long and uninterrupted, single take; often illustrated through another method regularly employed on the show, the walk and talk.
A special stage was made of plaster and celotex for the scenes during which Rory is at Yale, which were based on Calhoun College.
Her visit at Yale to decide which university she should choose was filmed at Pomona College.
