GIRLFRIENDS!
The Sitcom is Being Cancelled!
VIA http://www.theybf.com/
The brand new back to back episodes were and will be the final episodes ever that aired on 2/11. And the network is not even planning to tape a series finale. The decision was made very last minute which is why these final episode were not advertised as such.
Months ago reports stated that this would likely be the last season, but this abrupt ending was not expected. Girlfriends will indeed NOT be returning to the CW at all after these back to back episodes that aired. The source says the entire cast and crew are “extremely hurt and saddened by this news.”
Apparently, they want the fans of the show to make some noise about this situation so that Girlfriends can at least shoot a proper finale. About the final airing, the source says that we can rest assured that the whole gang are getting together at a private location to watch as a family. The cast and crew love all their fans and they hope the fans relive all the good times in the reruns.
Girlfriends has run for eight seasons with 172 episodes and has won numerous awards. This abrupt finality is definitely sad news. But at least we still have The Game…

And now another source involved in the production of Girlfriends tells The YBF that the production team was in the process of bring back Jill Marie Jones (Toni Childs) for this year’s season/series finale. The source says this is critical to inform people of because ”Toni Childs” leaving is the biggest complaint that the cast and crew have encountered about the show and one that they would have answered had they been given the opportunity. Bringing Jill back was something they wanted to do for a long time and there was a story arc in place that was going to include that in the season finale.
Also, Girlfriends was one year away from being the longest running African American sitcom in television history. Longer than Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Martin, A Different World, The Jeffersons, etc. It is currently tied for longest running African American sitcom of all time with The Cosby Show. And the source says that ninth year was something Mara Brock Akil (the show’s creator and executive producer) really wanted to accomplish and something that the team feels they should have been given an opportunity to do.
The source is so adamant about readers, watchers, and fans demanding that this show get its proper due, they sent over the DIRECT contact info for the offices of head execs in charge. They made clear that the general contacts likely won’t get the message to them. To write or call DIRECTLY to the people who matter in order to express your disappointment and desire to have another season (or at least a proper finale):

That sucks. You should always give the fans a finale; even if it's a bad one like Roseanne and Seinfeld.
Actually, I take that back. They should have just kept those terrible finale's.
If I can get it in, I'll also post about bringing it back. Even if they just give it a finale summer run, or just the fall season to wrap up.
But I've got to take care of some more important stuff first, like this FISA spying bill in congress. Everybody needs to be up on that.
