The Gilmore Girls TV Movie Petition
Published March 21, 2010
THE GILMORE GIRLS finale aired Tuesday May 15 on The CW at 8 p.m. ET/PT after 153 episodes, and 7 seasons.
We, the undersigned, are the viewers and fans of Gilmore Girls who, while we greatly enjoyed the seventh season finale, feel that it is not sufficient as a series finale. We were taken off-guard by the suddenness of the cancellation announcement and furthermore, many of us have read interviews various actors have given to the media about how upset they were about the abruptness of the season finale (no matter how much we may like it as a story) and agree with their sentiments that the seventh season finale should not be the series finale. However, we also recognize and respect the objectives, the sentiments and the exhaustion issues of the parties involved and how those factors influenced how the negotiations for an eighth season of Gilmore Girls collapsed. We do not pass judgment on any of the parties toward which this petition is directed.
We request that The CW network and the necessary actors, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, reconsider whatever differences they have and build a compromise that would return Gilmore Girls to the networks schedule during the 2007-2008 television season. We urge that the show return in a way that addresses both the actors\' concerns and the needs of the network, returning for a movie or as any other compromise that results in the continuation of the series to a more natural, less forced conclusion. Gilmore Girls is The CW\'s #2 rated scripted series overall for the 2006-2007 season, the #2 rated series for its timeslot in its target demographics of young women, and a classic family series with tremendous continuing appeal to viewers of all generations. We believe such ongoing success calls for the show\'s return. We believe that the show should come back.
Like many other shows Gilmore Girls did not can an appropriate send off. A show like this deserved a series finale, not a season finale. When Sex in The City ended it took them 10 years, but finally the fans got their movie. It\'s been 3 years since Gilmore Girls ended but the fans are just as supportive as they ever were, and a Movie would mean so much to us all.
Please bring back the Gilmore Girls for, at the very least, a TV Movie. One last chance for us to say a real goodbye to our Gilmore Girls.

- “I wanted different things for Rory,” confesses AS-P. “I wanted her to follow a different sort of path… [go] off on her own adventure, which I guess she sort of did. I haven’t [actually] seen the last season, but I heard about it from other people.” (Amy Sherman-Palladino, writer and creator of Gilmore Girls).
- ...In the next year or two, she hopes to make — wait for it — a two-hour Gilmore Girls TV-movie that ties up all those loose threads! I nearly fell over when she said it... (Ausiello, TV Guide, on what Amy Sherman-Palladino told him in an interview).
- "I think they tried I don’t think (laughing) they did very well. (Still laughing) They can imply all they want, but you know, the fans want what the fans want. They waited around for all those years and they just, they got this little pop in the end where you know they sort of kissed each other and …." (Scott Patterson, Luke Danes, in an interview on the ending of Gilmore Girls and the LL relationship).
- "No, I wasn’t, because there was still a lot of life left in it. But also, less is more, because it leaves in the audience’s imagination where it could go, and that’s really good writing. Why give them the full meal? And I know fans are a little upset because they feel unsatisfied. They feel like they hung in there for so long and didn’t get the full monty, so to speak. But I think the show will live in their imaginations longer as a result of this type of an ending." (Scott Patterson, Luke Danes, when asked if he was happy about how the LL relationship ended).
- "I don't know. I was really happy with the way they wrapped up the series in the finale and I thought they brought the story full circle. It was very satisfying for me. I don't know what the story would be, but I would be curious to find out what it would be." (Alexis Bledel, Rory Gilmore, when asked about a 'Gilmore Girls' Movie).
