Glad you guys are happy about the winning the SOS poll, I was ecstatic when I found out

Ok so another fan particapation project:

````````````````````````

Someone (LoganNRory4ever) at the Great8Mandate came up with an idea to take old used books that you have and send them to Alexis Bledel with something written inside like "We love you and Rory and we would love another year" or something creative to get her thinking about doing another season.

The idea originated from a daisy idea that was thought up by someone else (can't remember who) at The Great8Mandate. I will post more about that later when I can find all the info but basically due to some complications, it hasn't happened yet. The cost of flowers being one of those complications, the book idea was thought to be alot cheaper and easier since all you have to pay for is shipping. We also thought sending books was a good idea because not only is Rory a complete and total book addict, Alexis is involved in an organization called First Book that gives free books away to the poor. It would be cool if we could send her the books and then let her donate them to that organization.

There are probably a couple other things I missed but thats the basics.
To get involved, please pm LoganNRory4ever at gg.org and tell her you wanna particapate and then start sending those books

I don't think there is an end date to this but its probably good to get it done before the end of the month since I think they plan on announcing there decision then. The CW announces there new fall lineup next month on may 17th so you could probably keep sending them till then since the end of the month announcement isn't a for sure thing yet.

Sorry for the double post, I just wanted to inform you guys that someone wrote an article about our efforts to save the show. Someone from the G8M emailed her and mentioned everyones efforts to save the show and she wrote an article about it and the G8M. Its a good read

Fan Rally to Save Gilmore Girls

Also theres a new poll found:

Gilmore Girls Teavee

Its pretty fun to do, you gotta sign up to vote but once you do, you can sit there and chat while you vote. You gotta wait a few mins between votes but you at least have something to do while you wait. You can either chat with everyone or go to the TVG poll and vote there. We are in the lead there

Thanks for the article. It's great to see that the G8M gets some publicity.

Lauren♥Scott 4Ever · 04-12-2007, 02:25 PM

I definitely have a good feeling that we will have an eighth season!!

stephrox · 04-12-2007, 02:41 PM

Someone over at TWOP said they went on the tour yesterday and the guide told them the show is not returning. Many other pple who went recently on the tour said there guides told them it wasnt returnign as well. So IMO the next 5 eps are the last ever. But keep trying to save GG guys!! Dont give up...!!

ETA: LLLovers posted on the spoiler board that she read in USA Today that " Gilmore Girls is hung up because of the money, which means contracts are up in May and it will cost each of the stars more." In otherwords it would cost them to much money to get the actors back plus lately it doesnt seem AB want more money to come back, she simply doesnt want to return.

Lauren♥Scott 4Ever · 04-12-2007, 02:45 PM

I'll keep to my posotive thinking.

go_clo · 04-12-2007, 03:43 PM

every person who went on the tour that i heard about said the show was probably going to return! I heard of someone recently who asked about it and the tour guide said it most likely will!

mixed messages yet again

one of the many things to be found while trying to save a show!

**maplezbear** · 04-12-2007, 04:03 PM

Yeah, not believing it, but thanks for sharing it anyways, Steph.

**snatches of sunshine** · 04-12-2007, 04:13 PM

Thanks for the new news, I so hope we will get a n 8th season

Lauren♥Scott 4Ever · 04-12-2007, 04:18 PM

So do I, I simply can't live without it.

go_clo · 04-15-2007, 07:26 PM

Me 2

Looks like we might too!

Bringing this over from TVguide.com:

Negotiations to bring Gilmore Girls back for an eighth season took a veddy interesting turn on Friday. According to multiple sources embedded deep inside Stars Hollow, Lauren Graham — she on which all things hinge — is allegedly warming to the idea of returning for a shortened season, a la Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond.

Word of this condensed scenario was "the talk of the set" on Friday, one day before shooting on the show's current season was scheduled to wrap. My spy was quick to add, however, that nothing's official and it's very possible this whole thing could unravel before anything's signed. One thing seems clear though: this little nail-biter is speeding toward a climax.

What do you guys think? Would you be open to a not-quite full final season if Gilmore? Or is it time to put this puppy down before she starts to suffer. Sound off below!

Also the official results from the SOS voting!

Quote:

Wow. Just wow.

The results are in from our seventh annual Save One Show campaign, where you, the fans, vote for the one endangered TV series you want to save from extinction.

And the good news is—thanks to a never-before-seen SOS twist—you Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars (and even Friday Night Lights) fans all have a reason to celebrate.

First, I have to tell you that we had a record-breaking 6 million votes this year, which is downright astounding. But not as astounding as the way in which those votes came in over the course of the two-week voting period.

Here's the play-by-play: For the first few days of SOS voting, CW fan favorites Veronica Mars and One Tree Hill were neck and neck, switching off between first and second place. Then, Veronica pulled ahead, steadily climbing and reaching nearly 40 percent of the votes, making it the clear winner for the next week and a half.

Then suddenly, in the last 24 hours of voting, you Gilmore fans must have put the pedal to the metal and rallied in all the right places, because the Girls pulled out of third place to come out on top—right before the Save One Show poll closed on Friday at midnight.

That said, thanks to these extraordinary voting circumstances, we’re going to do something we’ve never done before: give SOS love to two shows—both the winner, the CW's Gilmore Girls, and the very close runner-up, the CW's Veronica Mars.

As promised, I will be sending support letters to the powers that be at the C-Dub along with personal messages from you fans (feel free to post them in the comments section below).

Here are the official results (according to number of votes received) of the Save One Show poll:

1. Gilmore Girls: 2.2 million
2. Veronica Mars: 1.9 million
3. One Tree Hill: 950,802
4. Supernatural: 413,014
5. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: 120,312
6. Crossing Jordan: 30,552
7. Friday Night Lights: 23,195 (six more scripts have been ordered)
8. How I Met Your Mother: 21,761
9. What About Brian: 14,003
10. Jericho: 13,328
11. The Class: 13,238
12. Medium: 11,811(six more scripts have been ordered)
13. Scrubs: 9,248
14. 30 Rock: 5,189 votes (already picked up by NBC)
15. Close to Home: 2,433
16. Six Degrees: 1,711
17. The Nine: 1,126

Veronica Mars executive producer Rob Thomas has this to say about the outpouring of fan support: "We're continually astounded by the fans' willingness to go grassroots to keep us around. More than ever, the letter-writing, vote-casting, plane-circling efforts of our fans may be just the push we need to make it back on the air."

(We weren’t able to receive a comment from the cast or crew of Gilmore Girls before press time—but I’m sure they are thrilled to know how much the fans still love them!)

I heard the same thing from a friend who has a friend who works on the set. But it sounds like things might be changing and it isn't over until there's an official announcement.
