Editorial Review:
Can it be the Gilmore Girls if the Gilmore girls aren't together? At the end of Season 5, Rory dropped out of Yale and moved into Emily and Richard's poolhouse -- decisions that broke Lorelai's heart. That's handy, because one half of that heart can be deliriously happy with the big new step in her love affair with Luke. Meanwhile, the other half grieves, and it seems everyone in town wants mother and daughter to reunite. But it may take an unexpected out-of-towner to make it happen. Of course, there's much more: Lane gets a surprise that leaves her reeling with joy. Luke gets a surprise that may send the Luke-and-Lorelai relationship reeling. What's no surprise is the snappy, wish-I'd-said-that Gilmore dialogue, knowing humor and insightful storytelling fans adore. Season 6 starts now!
Description of Gilmore Girls - The Complete Sixth Season:
The rapid-paced banter between the mother-daughter team of Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) is the calling card for Gilmore Girls. The show's sixth year--which aired during the 2005-2006 TV season--remains witty, charming, and touching. The previous season left Yale undergrad Rory in trouble with the law after a night of very un-Gilmore-like behavior with her rich, handsome boyfriend Logan (Matt Czuchry). This season opens with Rory potentially facing jail time, undecided about returning to college, and--most disturbingly of all--fighting with her mother. This isn't a fight over who gets to eat the last egg roll, but rather a battle of wills. It will take a few episodes before the two are talking to each other again and the viewer can breathe a sigh of relief that all is well in Stars Hollow. In the meantime, Rory moves into her busybody grandparents' pool house. One evening, they invite their minister over to dinner. His job? To encourage Rory to remain chaste. Not one to be told how to live her life, Rory is nonplussed. After telling him he's a little too late to offer that advice, she asks, "Have you seen The 40 Year Old Virgin"?
After many years of playing verbal footsy, Lorelai and Luke (Scott Patterson) finally get serious and engaged. But just when things are going smoothly, Luke learns of a daughter he never knew he had. The introduction of the little girl doesn't do much for the plot--other than to slow it down and cause more fights between Luke and Lorelai. When Luke warns Lorelai, "I don't like ultimatums," she snaps back, "I don't like Mondays, but unfortunately they come around eventually." This 5-disc 22-episode set includes an eclectic and impressive range of guest stars (Skid Row's Sebastian Bach, Paul Anka, Sonic Youth, and Madeline Albright, who appears in a dream sequence as Rory's mom). But it's cast regular Kelly Bishop as Lorelai's mother Emily who is one of the show's true gems. Prim, proper, and judgmental, she's also fiercely protective of her brood. When she learns that Logan's mother said unfavorable things about Rory, Emily confronts the woman and puts her in her place. Politely, of course. By the end of the season, one of the main characters will get married, another will have an affair, and a third will have a dalliance with an ex-boyfriend. But the relationship between Lorelai and Rory remains strong. And that's what keeps viewers watching. --Jae-Ha Kim
Gilmore Girls - The Complete Sixth Season Reviews:
good but missing Jess 
2009-10-16 - I am a big fan of the Gilmore Girls series despite what I see as some flaws. Unlike some people I really despise most of the scenes involving the town meetings and most of the town's kooky characters except for Kirk, and even he is overdone most of the time. The town troubadour seems to have no meaning at all and just takes up time. Miss Patty - why there? Not an appealing character. Taylor - ok but gets boring too. These side characters take time away from the main story too much and for what? Then main characters whom we love just disappear and nothing is heard of them for a long time (i.e. Jess, Dean). Whatever happened to Dean and his ex-wife - they are never seen anymore. Then there is the boring Logan and the boring sappy gushy relationship with Rory which drones on and on without any chemistry between the two of them. Jess with Rory was so much more interesting and kept us guessing. Luke with Lorelai both seems right and wrong. What in fact do they have in common? It's hard to see. Then if they are so close and nearly getting married why would he hide his daughter from her for two months? It doesn't make any sense. I'm on to season 7 now and I won't give anything away but I feel like the show was a mix of great and not-so-great moments. Much of the dialog is snappy and fun. Overall I like it but it does have its flaws.
super
2009-09-03 - I rcd this item in a timely fashion. it was in it orginal case, which I like for storage n ease of finding in my collection. there were no problems with the dvd's no scratche all played without any problem. I would highly recommend this seller.
sad but good 
2009-06-25 - Finally, the show gets a taste of reality.
Lorelai & Rory are on the outs. This happens in real life; Rory learns about herself, grows from the experience and in the end benefits.
Luke discovers he has a daughter. This seems forced, since you would think such a relationship might have been mentioned, at least in passing, in a previous season (more believable to bring back the Rachel character with the child). Still, Luke deals with the news in a stunned, inept, and believable manner. Lorelai doesn't know how she fits in with all this and realizes there may not be room for her. Very understandable. I have to say, the break-up is more believable, albeit sad, than a continued relationship between the two. Too much conflict.
In spite of this welcome dose of gravitas, all the charm and quirks of Stars Hollow are back.
Great price. Add this one to your collection.
2009-06-12 - Great price. I didn't like this season, but you have to see all of them if you are a fan.
