Time to Say Goodbye to Gilmore

While at the Cards game last Friday night I remember seeing a little TV screen as we were looking for our seats. It didn't have baseball on it, there was some writing on it. Green background, wait, that's a CW (TV channel) logo. Does that say "Gilmore Girls"? It says final episode...May 15th, what? Is this a joke? Gilmore Girls final episode? NO!!!

Yes its true...the CW has cancelled Gilmore Girls and will air its series finale next Tuesday! This is a sad day for me and my Gilmore fanatic friends (and closet fanatic friend...don't worry Chad, I won't mention your name). I started watching the show in college. I thought it looked cute so I gave it a shot. After laughing for an hour, I was hooked. The witty banter, the obvious connection between Luke and Lorelai, Rory's boyfriends...Dean, Jess, Logan, breaking up Deans marriage, all the quirky Stars Hallow locals...Sookie, Kirk, Miss Patty. Dosey's Market, Luke's Diner, the festivals...the Friday night dinners at Emily and Richards. Oh the memories.

After I was hooked, I told Tracee and got her hooked! And then I met Kim in St. Louis and we probably wouldn't be as close of friends if it wasn't for our shared addiction to that show. (Probably an exaggeration, but ya know what I mean.)

The show has been on for 7 seasons, but the past season has not been its strongest. They got new writers who took the quick talking banter too far and added more drama than usual. Why did she marry Chris?!?! I think it is time for the show to be put to rest, but I am worried the series finale will be a let down. What if they only planned for it to be a season finale and it leaves questions unanswered? Rory only has two shows to get proposed to and to kick Logan to the curb...how will they do it? (I'm not a big Rory-Logan fan) I guess I will just have to watch and see what happens. In the mean time I better go buy the rest of the season DVDs so I can fill the void I will be missing on Tuesday nights. (Or, I guess Kim and I can now attend Taco Tuesday without having to leave by 6:30 :) )

Goodbye Gilmore...its been real.
