I've seen reviews where people are complaining about the set that comes in the big white box and would prefer the individual season cases with the covers as shown. Well surprise, this complete season does come in the big white box and I was about to throw a fit (as I wanted the individual season cases). So, I opened it and guess what, all of the season cases were inside! This was the best price I found, was received sooner than expected and the recipient was extremely pleased. If you are even thinking about buying it, don't hesitate - do it!

I wanted to try this series after a friend recommended it. It didn't engage me so I'm passing along to someone who enjoys this series. The packaging is a real disappointment as disks are kept books with cardboard holders. This type of disc holder can scratch discs and they are hard to remove. The set comes with extra books that I had no interest in. The only possible benefit to buying this particular set is to have all seasons in one place. Personally I'd rather have series I plan to keep in individual sets.

The show is excellent! But the packaging of the box set leaves much to be desired. When I first opened the wrapping it looked very good! Then I tried getting the CDs out. That took me around half an hour! The CDs for each season are placed in a folder. The folder looks very pretty and compact. But the construction looks like it was made by a 5 year old. The CDs are in plastic wraps and the plastic wraps are in the folder. 99% of the plastic wraps were stuck to the folder. So there was a lot of tugging and pulling involved to get them out. Since the folders are quite delicate, they ended up getting a few tears in the process. Eventually I've have to move the CDs to a more durable container. For now, I'm just enjoying the newness of the set. Overall the set is very easy to store. Doesn't take up much space. There are two books included in the set. Gilmorisms and an episode guide. I skimmed through the Gilmorisms book. It's like a dictionary. So you can't really read it end to end like a book (at least I can't). The episode guide has some pretty pictures and I think it would be very helpful when you are looking for a specific episode to re-watch. When I was reading reviews for the box set a few people mentioned that some CDs were faulty. I didn't have the same problem. The reason I bought this box set was because I was getting a very good price for it. It was a lot cheaper than trying to get the individual seasons. My advice to you: If you can get the individual seasons for a good price, go for it. If not, this is a good alternative.Read full review
Not a good purchase. There are a few cd's in each season where there is no information written on them (they are blank cd's) which means it's missing episodes and alot of the episodes are not put on the cd's in the correct order as how they actually are. I've been watching Gilmore Girls for years on other sources including the actual dvd's bought from stores and how they numbered the cd's and how they put the epidsodes on the cd's are not in the correct order. Now I'm going to have to rebuy all the seasons again, only making the total amount that I'm putting towards getting a complete series double, so not the happiest about that. Good notes: the product came in good timing, the physical description was accurate, the binding was intact, there are nice extra books inside that are a nice read about the characters and the episodes.

Light comedy/romance. I recommend you watch episodes in order, from the beginning, as later episodes build on the events of the earlier ones. Story centers around a single mother, Loreli, who as a teenager, rebelled against the values of her rich, stuffy parents. She continues to be at odds with her parents, who do not appreciate her somewhat free-spirited lifestyle. Loreli's teenage daughter, Rory, is brilliant and attractive and she and her mother have a close relationship. Rory has major college ambitions, which play a large part in the series. The shows are full of one-liners and comic situations, while still working in plenty of dramatic situations. Overall, it's the type of show that will lift your spirits.
