[Ward Cleaver] Hi, honey! I'm home! [/Ward Cleaver]
Yes, I know, I know. I'm cutting and pasting this from my Home Page note at
http://www.savethelorelais.org , but y'know, I do want to hear from people that aren't over at STL but are stilll interested in getting the show a real ending, too, y'know? So when I cross-post like this, I do want to hear from people. Especially since I'm still a member of gg.org (our favorite website at STL.org) anyway.

Tonight, the
series season finale of Gilmore Girls airs and then the show disappears from The CW, airing only in reruns on ABC Family until its revival is eventually announced. In honor of the occasion, it's time to declare this week The Season 8 Phone Blitz Week.
Phone The CW's viewer comment line at 1-818-977-6878 throughout the week. Let's fill up the comment line mailbox as quickly as we can every day between now and next Tuesday, September 18th. If your cell phone plan includes unlimited local/long distance, then do it.
But DO NOT call the line more than once a day per person -- any individual jamming the line with multiple calls in the same day will not help the cause of Gg (or even Veronica Mars) in any way, shape or form.
For more information on etiquette for calling the network's viewer comment line or similarly blitzing them by email, check out
http://www.savethelorelais.org and if you're new to the campaign to revive Gg for a
real[/u] conclusion, please sign our petition at
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/great8mandate . We're now at 7,800 signatures closing in on 8,000 in the next week or so, toward our eventual goal of 10,000 (or more) to send to The CW on Nov. 13th.
Important Reminder: Also, since this is going to be the last airing of the show on The CW until the eventual revival is announced, let's be patient with the network and remember that some political considerations that weren't the network's fault (I say obliquely) contributed to the collapse of the negotiations for the show's 8th season. In other words, even though The CW's president of entertainment, Dawn Ostroff, is our target at the network, the point-person to go to at the network to encourage the show's revival, the show's cancellation
is not her fault. Please don't blamethrow (which revolts the people at the network) or threaten boycotts (which don't ever work). Just state your case in the affirmative about why you think that the network should revive Gg as a movie, a miniseries or even a full season. In other words,
tell them why you lurves you them Gilmore Girls and why you want to see more of them!-------------------------
Okay, that said. Bizarre co-inky-dink:
1) Yes, it's 9-11-07
2) Yes, it's the last rerun, the
series season finale, of Gg on The CW.
3) It's also Scott Patterson's 49th birthday.

Season 8: Because a show about snow should end with snow, not rain.
We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's best Gilmore Girls forum. The ORG Forum will be just that. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster.
