After she sucks the audience in and gets them to fall in love with the characters.

Q. The Great8Mandate is an online campaign seeking to have Gilmore Girls saved from its cancellation. We at Great8Mandate believe in the necessity of an eighth season. Many shows have been canceled, only to be revived. We feel a huge mistake was made by the CW. The elimination of 7th Heaven, Everwood, Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars leaves the network without a show of substance. — H.K., e-mail

A. Gilmore Girls was a terrific series but its time to go had come. While it's true some series have been rescued from cancellation, this is not going to happen with Gilmore Girls. The cast and the key behind-the-scenes people, who don't share your passion for an eighth season, have all moved on. Maybe someday there will be a Gilmore Girls reunion movie, just as there apparently is going to be a Sex and the City reunion movie. (I still doubt this will happen with The Sopranos.) Without disparaging the worth of the series you cited, "show of substance" is a nebulous term that means different things to different people. You could probably find someone who thinks Age of Love is a show of substance. At first pass, I had favorable impressions of some of the new series the CW will unveil in the fall. Give them an open-minded chance and you might find one or two of "substance." That said, if anyone wants to enlist in this quixotic mission, Great8Mandate can be reached at gilmoregirls.org.

Does this mean the Gilmore Girls may one day return? Perhaps as a movie? Perhaps with Sherman-Palladino back at the helm?

From Ausiello's live TCA press tour blog, ABC day two:

Quote:

SAMANTHA WHO?

2:03 pm: Show: A- Christina Applegate: A+ Sookie: A

2:07 pm: Exec producer Donald Todd says Applegate's Samantha character -- who suffers from retrograde amnesia -- will never "fully regain her memory. She'll recover a little memory at a time."

2:08 pm: Barry Watson "kinda had a feeling [What About Brian?] wasn't" going to be back. He adds that he's not all that bummed. "I didn't really like those people much. This is a much better group." I think he's joking.

2:09 pm: Melissa McCarthy says she was shooting the Gilmore finale when the Samantha opportunity presented itself. "I didn't know what I wanted to do [next]. And I was nine months pregnant, so I wasn't thinking too clearly," she recalls. "But then I read the script and I thought, 'I could give that a go.'"

2:17 pm: Jean Smart, an absolute gas as Samantha's narcissistic mom, thinks a 24 return is unlikely. "I don't assume Martha will be back. But she's not dead."

2:21 pm: A reporter, clearly hoping to get into Applegate's pants tonight after the ABC party, asks the producers if they're worried she's too good an actress for this show.

2:22 pm: McCarthy seems less than gung-ho about the prospect of a Gilmore reunion pic. "It might be fun to go back. It would have to be something special. It was an [amazing] seven years, but I think it ended itself."

Thanks for all the news.

Wow. So there is now one who doesn't seem to want to do the reunion movie. Hopefully if the movie is done, Melissa would at least consider it some again.

Why would she fix it... she made the mistake and I sure she wasn't drunk when she did it.

Craig, where is your avi from, boy, do you have interesting avi of Lauren.

gjoni thanks for the Melissa stuff, can there be a GG movie without Sookie?

Thanks I needed a change after I was almost screwed when my main HDD failed and I lost everything, but a miracle happened and it started working again so I got them back. For days I thought I had lost EVERYTHING and I mean everything apart from my music and some movies I had on other drives. I have it all backed up now and hope it never happens again I would not wish it on anyone!

The one in the brown jacket and blue shirt, is a scene in Evan Almighty, the original is a little fuzzy 'cause of the size. I'm gonna work on some more over the weekend if I have the time.

I don't know if anybody read this yet, but i thought i'd post it up here.

'Gilmore Girls' creator: I couldn't watch the series finale

Monday marked Amy Sherman-Palladino's first appearance at press tour since her departure from Gilmore Girls following the 2005-06 season. She was there to talk about her new series, a FOX midseason comedy called The Return of Jezebel James, but a number of critics in the room also had the Gilmores on our minds.

Given that the show ended in May, and the less-than-ideal terms on which Sherman-Palladino and husband Daniel Palladino departed, we set the over-under for questions directly relating to Gilmore Girls at three.

Well, we were way off. It wasn't until the 10th query that someone, as the questioner put it, asked "the inevitable question."

"God, how many inevitable questions [are there]?" she replied. Pause. "Yeah, I'm not a virgin."

"The end of Gilmore Girls," the questioner pressed on. "What was your reaction to it ..." -- it was at this point that Sherman-Palladino began singing the show's theme song, Carole King's "Where You Lead" -- "would you ever go back and do, say, a movie that actually did wrap it up and used the line that we've all been told you had?"

Her response:

"Here's the deal. I didn't watch it because I thought -- I think I just got very drunk that night and sat in the corner, and [Daniel] read in a corner, and it was very quiet. Then we went to bed. You know, I couldn't watch it because it wasn't going to be my ending. It wasn't going to be what I have had in my head forever, and I was going to do something crazy, homicidal, suicidal, something with an 'idal' in it.

"And I just figured, you know, 'Go with God.' I love all those people. I love that cast. You know, Lauren [Graham]'s my pal. We've talked about maybe sometime, you know, in the future doing a little song and dance together again, wrapping it up. I rule nothing out."

And the final line, which she's purportedly had in mind for years?

"It was, 'You're adopted,'" Sherman-Palladino deadpans. "Just sell the entire series out like it's coming out of the shower -- by the way, she's in the shower, and she says, 'By the way, Rory, you're adopted.' No, that's not the last line. Save it, just in case."

"That's not it. Let's be clear," Daniel Palladino noted.

The cast and crew of Gilmore Girls having gone their separate ways, it's probably a good idea not to hold your breath awaiting the reunion movie. And maybe that's OK -- we can all conjure up our own final lines (given that ASP's closer was supposedly four words, I'm going with "Luke, more coffee. Now!") and send Lorelai and Rory off to syndication heaven as happy as we want them to be.

But that's not the real news: "Gilmore Girls" fans will delight in the knowledge that the show marks the return of "Gilmore" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Daniel Palladino. Amy created the show and directed the pilot, and both she and her husband will serve as executive producers. More good news for "Gilmore" mourners: Scott Cohen, who played Max on that show, was the very first actor to be cast on "Jezebel James." This isn't quite going to soothe the irritated souls of fans who still wish their show would come back, but it's something.

Quote:

--Sherman-Palladino says the sitcom format is tougher than the hour-long scope of "Gilmore." "Because hour-long, you come in. It's an enclosed environment," she said. "You know, you do it. You screw up. You start again. You go back. Sitcom -- it's putting on a one-act play every five days."

--It had to happen: Sherman-Palladino was asked about the famous last line she supposedly wrote for the "Gilmore Girls" series finale, the line that was not used. She wouldn't reveal the real answer, but had a joke answer ready. "It was, 'You're adopted.' Just sell the entire series out like it's coming out of the shower or, by the way, she's in the shower, and she says, "By the way, Rory, you're adopted." No, that's not the last line. Save it, just in case."

I still don't believe that she didn't watch it. I love DP though, making it clear that she's joking.
