Gilmore Girls: Season 8, But Shorter?

April 18th, 2007

Sounds like a formal announcement is coming soon, but the latest rumor is that Gilmore Girls may go forward with an abridged eighth season. Read the details and find a link to the original source Ask Ausiello, at Gilmore Girls News.

I’ve already got my head around this season being the last, so although it’s interesting to read an eighth season is possible, I don’t know if I’ll watch. I felt alternately bored and damaged watching this season. Here’s a pretty good article by Molly Willow that captures my sentiments.

I’ll leave it up to these next few episodes that close out Season 7 to convince me otherwise, but for right now, I’m skeptical and wary.

And yeah, I still need to write some thoughts about the last two episodes, I’ll get around to that this week.

Note: After I wrote this post, Gilmore Girls was cancelled as of May 3.

I feel that the producers and writers should do what's best to maintain the integrity of the show. Many shows lose quality past the seventh season, e.g., Charmed, and I would HATE if that were to happen to Gilmore Girls. I also think that Rory's role is sort of done: She's the bridge that both links Lorelai to her past. Lorelai needs to get things straight with Luke.

Hi Henry, Raven, Irive, it seems the show was cancelled as of May 3, so no Season Eight. That leaves two more episodes. The season finale (and the show finale) was filmed before the decision was made. So, I'm not sure if this last show will be the most satisfying.

It seems there will be a lot of sad Gilmore fans out there, as the reaction on this previous post is very lengthy, and the informal poll I've been running here on Webomatica has an overwhelming majority of folks wanting a Season 8.

Boy I love enthusiasm!!!!!!!! Unfortunately looks like this decision is final.

I don't watch American Idol because it's on at the same time as Gilmore Girls. I don't even know who Blake Lewis is. :)

OMG this was one of the very few awsome shows on tv. Along with 7t heaven. These shows were in the small population of shows that did not use prefuse language have violence and sexual content in it. I am outraged!!! I have followed this show since the beginning and this is my faviorate show... but I am disappointed by the ending I was left confused and questioning?? Rory and Logan??over?and then loreli and luke good josh wow they kissed I mean think about it loreli skips from luke to chris almost every season...and a kiss thats promising.Rory with Barac Obama what about after the election at leat give her a stble job and a guy!!!
well I guess it is over so long gilmorettes!!!!

I love GG and when i found out that the season finale was the series end i was disappoint as i think that they are still some need to knows esp what happens b/w luke n loreli and if they got together i think it'll be great to end with a wedding!

I would love to see an 8th season, anything beyound that may be difficult but i'm routing for one more season to satisfy my GG addition....otherwise i'll just have to settle for reruns!

What a great series it turned out to be, addicting from the start to end :)

what an anticlimatic ending --- couldn't they throw us a bone. No marriage for Luke and Lorelai no engagement for Rori. Even Lane's situation was left up in the air.

I think there should be an eightth season I started watching around the 4th or 5th season, and now I can't stop watching it. I have missed episodes from not being home, but I wrote them down so I know which ones I missed so when reruns come I can watch. I also watch it on ABCFamily at 5:00 if I am home. Gilmore Girls is addictive and one you start watching you can't stop.

We have been watching it all from the beginning, going though all the up and downs with the girls......you must have an 8th season to show what is going on in lorelies and lukes life......does she remain single forever, or does she finally get married and have a baby with luke........Rory can visit......we need to see lorelie happy....

I totally loved Gilmore girl. It was the only show that I made sure I tune in. I saw them grow together, apart and then back agian. I was in shock when I found out it was coming to an end. It would be great if they brought them back. I don't kmow about yall, but Iwould want to see one of them get married and have a kid. That would be interesting!

There needs to be a Season 8. I grew up with this show. I'm now a junior in college and go to the Gilmore Girls every time I need a little pick-me-up. I know it's lame, but it's true. I'll have to resort to watching the reruns over and over again!

i hate that they are ending gilmore girls it is my favorite show and i am probably pretty sure that i am gilmore girls # 1 fan i am so mad that they ended it because it is the best show ever they should put it back on the CW and if they dont i will be very very very sad once i found out about it i was so sad. my life was pretty much about gilmore girls it was and will always be what i talk about. they should put another season on like they did with 7th heaven. that would be so awesome i would cry because i would be so happy. the CW should put gilmore girls back on the air for one last season!
