Editorial Review:
After 20-plus years of single motherhood, after a series of Mr. Not- Quite-Rights, after buying that perfect wedding dress and watching it hang in the closet, Lorelai finally gets married. Yes, but to whom? The answer is just one of the deliciously intriguing what's-gonna-happens in these 22 episodes about a mother, a daughter, a town and a world that devoted Gilmore groupies have taken as their own. Sharpen your wits for the famed, fast-paced Gilmore dialogue -- but let your heart do its thing. From Stars Hollow to New York City to Paris... from Lorelai's wedding to Lane's baby shower to Rory's graduation... from beginning to middle to end... here's Season 7.
Description of Gilmore Girls - The Complete Seventh Season:
All good things must end, but not all good things end well. Gilmore Girls is one of the most original and entertaining television programs ever to grace the CW. Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel) star as the quick-witted and heavily caffeinated mother-daughter duo at the heart of this quirky drama. Normally smarter than the average show, the seventh season represents a slump in an otherwise brilliant run. The seventh season is the first without series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, and her absence is evident. Smart characters make dumb decisions and dumb characters spend too much time on screen. The normally fluid plot slumbers along as Rory's father Christopher returns as Lorelai's love interest, Rory gets even more serious with Logan, while Luke and Lorelai try to repair their damaged relationship. But it's not all bleak. Highpoints of the season include the birth of Lane's twins, plus the long-awaited cameo by Christiane Amanpour, which sends Rory into a tizzy: "I can't meet Christiane Amanpour in my pajamas!" The counterbalance of the quirky Stars Hollowians, which is half the fun of Gilmore Girls in previous seasons, is gone or, worse, awkwardly shoehorned in. Still, for fans of the series the final season is a must-own, if only to find out what happens to the characters they loved and laughed with for so many years. --Megan Chaffee
Gilmore Girls - The Complete Seventh Season Reviews:
GOOD-BYE WITH LOVE GILMORE GIRLS....... 
2008-08-27 - Gilmore Girls was one of the best shows that has ever aired. The mix of drama and humor was perfectly crafted. The acting was stellar and all relationships were real and believable. Especially Lorelai and Rory of course.
Season 7 is a mixed bag - a very disappointing way for true Gilmore fans to say good-bye. The season 5 ender with the infamous "Will You Marry Me?" was ideal Gilmore at its best.
Sadly, the creators of Gilmore Girls, Amy SP and family, seemed to have not felt the Gilmore love as much as the Gilmore dedicated fans did.
Many felt that the show should have ended with Lorelai and Luke together. I loved them as a couple in season 5 as much as anyone but I would have been ok if they did part if the 6th and 7th season were as well written and up to par as all the previous superior Gilmore seasons. One must remember that the trauma with Luke and Lorelai and the introduction of April was by Ms. Amy so things started to go wrong even with the original creative crew. (I have always been a believer that when an addition that doesn't make sense occurs like the famous cousin on The Brady Bunch disaster is near.) And that is what happened here.
Season 7 could have evolved with exploring each character's journey and been of the highest caliber if it was realistic. Lorelai marrying Christopher was not written in a way that made any sense.
But I must move on to the positive and that is that subpar Gilmore is better than no Gilmore at all. The excellent acting continued in season 7 and never has an ensemble clicked so well. One of the greatest mistakes with Gilmore Girls was that the gifted Lauren Graham never received an Emmy let alone a nomination. Her portrayal of Lorelai was filled with so many layers and dimensions it is truly one of the greatest characters ever. Though the ensemble cast was so excellent she always held the show on her shoulders. And she carries season 7 and manages to make silly plots and things that just didn't make sense seem more than real. Lorelai was as real as ever and Lauren Graham saved the day. She definitely got to use her acting chops in this season.
If you are a true Gilmore fan as I am you must have this season - the set must be complete. And watch season 7 to find joy and pleasure where you can. The last half of the season hits its stride and the series did manage to end on a high note.
I will always miss Gilmore Girls and it will always have a special place in my heart and soul. It managed to become a part of me as all the real activities that happened in the fictitous town of Stars Hollow were exppertly written and acted. This is a television classic and my dvds will never get dusty.
Thanks for 7 seasons of pleasure and love.
Great Product, Fast Shipping 
2008-08-15 - Great shipping from Amazon, as always. Of course, the Gilmore Girls are great. A must have.
It's over....
2008-08-10 - Makes me so sad to see that this is the last Gilmore Girls. I am a little disappointed in the ending and I hope that they will put out a short movie to finish off or follow up on the Gilmore Girls after life...I guess I just want it to go on and on forever!
It is time to say goodbye!
2008-08-09 - I have all "Gilmore Girls" seasons and I must say that this is a very good sitcom. I didn't like a lot how the show finished however, if you have already watched all the other seasons you should watch this one too.
Egh... 
2008-08-02 - Why did Amy Sherman-Palladino have to leave! The other seasons where genius. The second she leaves the ratings and quality of the show plummet. Why, oh why?! As much as it hurts me to say this I'd give this one a C-.
