Say it ain’t so. I love my girlfriends. I keep my datebook opened at the time they’re scheduled to come on, and when I have to miss an episode I get real upset. I hope that this rumor is not true. Who is the other person in the picture? I don’t recognize her.

don’t believe it. I was just reading that while there won’t be a ninth season(which I thought was going to be spent seeing Joan pregnant) there will be a proper series finale. Hopefully Joan will get married and will bring a proper end to the series.

And the other woman in the the pic is Erykah Badu. that picture was taken from the episode where she guest starred.

I find the context and tone of this post irresponsible. “BOOTED”, Why downplay the fact that this show has been on for 8 seasons? Sometimes BET respresents us in the wrong matter. Support the black community. BET is letting VIACOM, mock us.

oh hell noo!!!girlfriends is one of my favorite shows.we already don’t have enough shows representing our community and they wanna cancel this one,which shows black women in a positive light.Why? are the ratings down or is the cast just tired of doing the show???

I love g-friends, but I wish tony was on the show maybe that why the show maybe failing, but I hope not. It is a great show for black women maybe all women. Please keep up the good job.

I have always been a fan of the show but I must admit it has gotten a little boring. I just hope the last episode will be very dramatic and unexpected.

thats too bad, I loved watching that show.

I agree with ms. rose I love the show but it has been on for eight season which is unheard of nowadays hopefully they will give it a better send of though.

I agree with ms. rose i love the show but it has been on for 8 great years. If it does go off the air there are the reruns and dvds to support.

The show is great but a lot of the drama went when Toni left the show and I love my beautiful sister believe you me but Toni had a lot of drama with her and as I watch re-runs she brought alot to the show taking nothing from Lynn, Mya and of course Joan and that Apple Bottom she has but Toni had that spark…… She ignited so many fires its not even funny….. They are The Four Horseman of black TV………..

Hey bet.it would be very sad if girlfriends get canceled.I love dat show! Its the reason why my grandma started watching bet.its a great show and the viewers would be mad if stops airing.so think about the situation yall are making before you make it.shout out:to all my ppl in tallahassee,fla!850 stand up!

Girlfrieds is not being cancelled. This is the last season. There will be an hour long series finally soon. Go to http://www.tvguide .com

Say it ent so……… :(…will miss them…

Great!!!!!!

Now hopefully it will be replaced by a show that promotes FAMILY VALUES! The Selfish-Empowered-Bitter-Feminist-Lioness theme has worn out is welcome! EVERY BODY MASSAGE YOUR EAR LOBES AND EXHALE…

WHOOOOSAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I agree with everyone else Girlfriends is my favorite show to watch on Monday nights…while I want it to stay for one more season, I just hope they do right by it and tie everything up with Joan getting married, her and toni reuniting, and the birth of william’s new baby with his wife..To me that would be the best way to honor the fans who have been watching for the past 8 years It would also allow “THE GAME” to step and fill the gap because they have room to grow and be just as good as Girlfriends.

i missed tony..i think she made the show. the show is boring to me, now that tony is gone

The last two showes Monday makes you want more. I will really miss this show. I don’t want reruns I want new showes.

I’ve watched Girlfriends from the very beginning and to see it go will be like FOX taking away The Simpsons. It’s a staple show that shows women the empowerment of females in todays society that can come from nothing and become something and show the different adversities in life. As a hispanic, there aren’t too many shows out there in my community like this one. Our shows consist of women at home, obeying the men, cooking and cleaning and wathing the children. I don’t want my son to grow up thinking that those are the only things that women can do. We need more shows like this and to see it go will be a shame.

Whom ever wrote that “UPDATE” about it would have been the longet running African American show in history” is incorrect. The Jeffersons went 11 seasons.

It is a great show. I’ve been watching the show since the beginning but they have ran out of story lines. I hope they get it together and bring back Jill Marie Jones, hopefully the ratings will come back stronger.

THERE WERE 2 REASONS WHY I USED TO WATCH “GIRLFRIENDS’; 1. ITS EARLIER SHOWS WERE VERY FUNNY& 2. FORMER CAST MATE JILL MARIE JONES WHO IS SOOOO FINE, WITH LIPS SO LUCIOUS, ANGELINA JOLIE WOULD BE EXTREMELY JEALOUS. HOWEVER, THIS SHOW(ART IMMITATING LIFE)REFLECTED WHY MOST BLACK WOMEN TODAY LOSE US GOOD BLACK MEN, BECAUSE MOST BLACK WOMEN ARE MATERIALISTIC,TOO CAREER ORIENTED, SELFISH, SELF-CENTERED, CONCEITED,DISRESPECTFUL(ONLY TO THOSE BLACK MEN WHO ARE POOR & STRUGGLING)& BELIGERENT. THE CHARACTER WILLIAM WAS A WHIMP, & SELLOUT NEGRO(NEED TO GROW) REPUBLICAN.

PLEASE DONT DO IT!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! IT THE BEST THING ON TV!! PLEASE LET IT RUN UNTIL JOAN HAS KIDS!!

I hope they do bring back Tony…. she was the key to the show.

I agree with the above, Girlfriends has run its course. I have not missed an episode on T.V. I love the show, but it’s just not the same. Some episodes I find myself wondering why are they still on T.V. They should get out now if it does not get any funnier. At least they will leave with good ratings.

I will definitely miss Girlfriends. It was one of my favs. The black shows never get a finale! They just cancel ‘em and leave you hanging! It was a long running show and deserved a better ending.

I will miss girlfriends. I hope it continues, but it need a new aspect and writing for the characters to play their role. It has gotten a bit boring, but I hope that Joan finaly get married, Monica and William have their baby, Mia gets a multiple book contract and she and Darnell will come further together as a couple, Lynn to finally settle down with a career that she is finally happy with and find a man with a good soul that will be her match, and finally bring back Toni’s character so that she and Joan can reconcile.

I think I am about to cry, just when we start to get successful the stupid writers strike want to take away the good Shows. I have just gotten used to Toni being off the show..now this??? Why??? I love GIRLFRIENDS and if they are going to end, PLEASE don’t end like all the other show, with a big Cliffhanger.. I hope Joan gets married.

can someone please let me know how tony childs got off the show i missed a couple of episodes so can some one inform me.

I am a guy and I love watching GirlFriends. I can’t go without wahcing this show. I think that it show how African American ife is in some aspect. In this day in age, we are African Americans dont have much to watch on tv. It is funny to watch the how this show has come so far. I think it is owed to the faitfu; viewers of this how to go on to the new season, so we can she Joan get married, Lynn have a platinum album, Mya and Darnyl have another hild and Toni come back. in my opinion, it eeds to go ten seasons or more. This is a great sho. Oh hell no

I am writing to express my disappointment in CW’s decision to discontinue production of “Girlfriends”. I have enjoyed the fantastic portrayals by its actors and the strong writing that was delivered for many seasons now. I am particularly annoyed that you have elected to wrap this series without even a Final episode. Your press statement about the, “extremely unusual business environment,” does not address the lack of respect you are showing your loyal viewers by deciding on such a sudden departure, much less no announcement that the series would be ending later this year. I watch your other programs almost exclusively by being lead into them by GF’s, so you’re about to lose one viewer here for more than just that one program. Since I do believe that one person can make a difference, I’d like to let you know I am going to compile a list of your advertisers and their contact information and make it readily available on the internet for use by anyone who feels as I do about your GF decision. As a 2nd year medical school student, clinical editor and person of color, I believe that your advertisers would like to know that their advertising dollars aren’t going to bring them the result they desire, by putting their products on your network. I believe easy access to your advertiser lists will help other fans to express similar views. I hope you will reconsider your decision, you don’t have any suitable replacements for the fan base of this program. Thank you for your time. Mark Dunham

For those of you who would like the list of Girlfriend’s advertisers and some of their contact information, to register your displeasure with CW’s cancellation decision, here it is:

NOOOOOO!

CW sucks donkey balls

I would love to write the producers to express my unparalleled elation with the fact that this GOD FORSAKEN FEMINIST SIT-DRAM will no loner be polluting prime time television!

It’s time for some African American FAMILY VALUES to get some love and support.

I knew something was going on cause this season has been really really boring. I began enjoying the Game much better than Girlfriends! I still enjoyed the show!!

man if this is true i am going to be so upset i like girlfriends because it is related to most people in the black cultrure i hope it does not end

Girlfriends has been nothing but wonderful entertainment. i have been a devoted viewer since i was 10 years old so it feels as though Girlfriends is a part of my life. I was shocked to hear the cancellation rumor and if it is true i will be devastated. How this is even a possibility is beyond my understanding. Girlfriends was meant from day one to stay on the air for as long as possible. And while the season has been a little rocky wtihout toni it is not time for this legacy to be over. Girlfriends is a positive voice in black entertainment and should not be coming to an end anytime soon. I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE A COMMENT FOR TRANE, WHOEVER YOU ARE. IF THE SHOW WAS SOOOOO BAD, WHY ARE YOU WATCHING IT? AND IN THE WORDS OF MYA WILKES, YOU CAN EITHER GIVE MY ASS A KISS OR KISS MY ASS! YAHH TRICK HOW YOU LIKE THEM FAMILY VALUES?

MISS K-G!

What in theeee hell are yooouuuu ranting about?!? I have some family values for you…it’s something that your BULLDAGGIN’ MAMMY would have taught your trifflin’ azz if she wasn’t turning tricks behind dumpsters!

DOUCHE JEZEBEL DOUCHE! IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNKAAAAAAAY! WIPE FROM FRONT TO BACK…NOT THE OTHER WAY…THATS IS FRICKEN NASTY! Lady’s and Gentlemen I give you…FAMILY VALUES.

It was really time for this show to be cancelled, since the actress that played Toni left, the writing has gotten worst.

This is not right.Ever time we get something that represents our black woman in a positive way it is snached. Know Iam a black man who loves to sit down and have something to watch with my wife and like it. Tellme one thing thats wrong with the show& Ill leave yall alone. Other than that the show should stay on.

girlfriends was good until they took toni childs off because she was to dark ever since then i stopped watching.

DAMN I HATE THAT! IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTIME YOU START TO LIKE A GOOD SHOW THEY TAKE IT OFF THE AIR. WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!

I think it’s a shame that the show has ended. Why is it the when quality entertainment that comes across in a position perspective for African American’s is thriving, it’s STOPPED!!! Now, if it were a show that focused on negative young men and women that were either uneducated or uncouth then maybe it would have been considered showing through it’s final season. Why can’t our networks focus on bringing more quality shows and get rid of the flavor flav’s, i love new york’s and tela tiquela’s…

C - I hope this is not true, this was such a great show for the African American sisters who could relate so well. It’s always the good shows that never come back.

I cried when i found out that this was the last season of grilfriends because its my favorit show to whatch and anyone can relate to the show and the stuff that they went through on the show

I will mussel this show I have friends just like that

GIRLFRIENDS IS ONE OF MY FAV SHOWS …I HOPE THE SHOW CONTINUES

This news is very dissappointing!

i love girlfriends and this is a great disappoint

It’s true. It’s been canceled.

Im mad that the show got cancelled but it wasnt the same since Toni Childs left. It got boring and I stopped watching but i love watching the reruns BET plays

EVERYBODY SHOULD BE REJOICING THAT THIS DEPLORABLE SHOW WILL NO LONGER BE POISONING THE MINDS OF OUR YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS. This is a monumental occasion. As if I didn’t know Already…THERE IS A GOD!

I think that I will celebrate by reading Malcom X’s Autobiography with my son. Oh happy day!

EXCUSE ME LADY OR MAN ABOVE ME THAT SAID U R HAPPY THEY ARE GONE!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE NOT POISINING THE MINDS OF OUR YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS. IF IT WAS……..THEY SHOULDNT BE LOOKING AT IT THEN!!!!!!!!! I LOVE GIRLFRIENDS WHY DO THEY HAVE TO CANCEL IT BECAUSE OF THE STUPID WRITER’S STRIKE?????? YEA THERE IS A GOD BUT U SHOULDNT PLAY LIKE THAT WITH GOD JUST BECAUSE THEY CANCELED GIRLFRIENDS. U SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!!! KEEP UR BAD COMMENTS TO URSELF!!

Hatenia!

You and I both know that this was the worst show in the history of African American shows. It was completely ridiculous. So why don’t you try…KEEPING YOUR DUMB AZZ COMMENTS TO YOUR DUMB AZZ SELF!

This cannot be true, this is my all time favorite show, ever!!!!!!!!!!! I especially love Lynn, she is the main reason why I was watching the show, I mean don’t get me wrong I like all of the cast members, the show is seriously off the hook, but Lynn, is my boo….ahe is sooooo hotttt!!!!!!!!!

I AM VERY UPSET THAT GIRLFRIENDS GOT THE BOOT..THAT WAS UNCAUSED FOR..I THINK THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS BEEN..WE AS FANS DESERVE A EXPLAINATION!!!!!!

IM SOO…FREAKIN..PISSED..THAT WUZ MY FAV SHOW…IT WASNT THE SAME W/O TONI NEWAY….

Is u 4 real? One of the most relatable sitcoms for us sistahs is gonna b cancelled! this is so hard to believe! but like mama always says “All good things must come to an end”. I wish the entire Cast oof Girlfriends all the best,
I LOVE Y’all! (gasp…sigh…tear)
But they better be wrong about the cancellation!

What the flip!! The 25 and older crew will certainly be crushed. I could relate. Toni Childs didn’t make the show but she added necessary flair. What a shame. CW couldn’t u at least ask the fans man!! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!!! Nothing left but reality show. NOOOO!!!

I dont even like the show anyway so I dont care. but it was a good little show. but they had a good amount of viewers. They all need need a man. But I can see that jone has one.

So ced was right about the show going off the air without now notice to the ???@~ eye. That’s a shame i really like girlfriends! Who cares if toni didn’t want to come back.The show was still cool without her, hell jaon was finially gettin married, and maya and family was back together,hell william was starting his family too. Damn everytime an good black site com start getting good they want to take it off not cool,not cool and lynn was on a roll doing her thing.I wiil miss it i hope it comes back!

Sorry for the misspelled words in my comment typing to fast at work!

Sorry for the misspelled words typing to fast at work!

This cannot be true, I love Girlfriends. Why does this have to happen. Same thing with Half&Half, All of Us, Now Girlfriends.

Since Childs left this sitcom was never the same. It is a pity they could not get her to come back.

LOVE THE SHOW!!!!!!
ITS THE BEST !!!!!!

I love Girlfriends. I knew something was wrong when stopped showing on BET every night to Thursdays and Fridays nights. I hope there’s something that can be done. There are over a billion viewers, probably even more who love to watch that show. Don’t take that away from us. That’s one of the shows on t.v. that keep us going, happy, and laughing. A show we can relate to. It has improved most of our lives. I love that show. Please continue airing it, even if it’s once or twice a week. As long as it continues showing. Don’t stop airing that show.

it’s so sad. Girlfriends was my favorite show. I loved all of their characters in different ways. i’m gonna miss u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what happened to toni??????????????

I hate that they are going to stop the show.I love that show.It show the true meaning of real friends.Me and my friends love watching the show.It show how friends can go through things and still come back and be just as strong.Good luck to the cast and they future.They really inspire a lot of people with there friendship.I just cant thank u enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
