Gilmore Girls

I have a lot of favorite TV shows. One of my new favorites to watch is Gilmore Girls that shows every Tuesday night on the CW. I started watching Gilmore girl’s last Christmas break when my sister got the 5th season on DVD. I quickly became addicted and watched all of the 5th season and then went back and started watching the rest of the seasons starting with the first one. The show is full of friendship, family, and ties that bind. The shows revolve around Lorelai Gilmore and her beautiful daughter Rory. One big thing that bothers me about the show is how un-realistic it can be. Even though Lorelai and Rory go through a lot of hard times...life always seems to turn out pretty nicely for them. Realistically when a young girl at the age of 16 gets pregnant things are very hard. Not that the show does deny that Lorelai but it never shows how hard life had to of been. At times the show makes the relationship between the mother and daughter so perfect and so fun that its makes you want to have the same at them. I know I am guilty of thinking how amazing it would be to have a daughter like Rory and have a relationship grow like there’s. But in reality life doesn’t always have happy endings. The show doesn’t show Lorelai as the young mother and the hard obstacles she had to go through of having a young baby. I think the biggest problem of a lot of TV shows is that they make things seem so much better than they really are. Its good to have hope and inspiration but reality is sometimes the hardest thing to face.
