Lauren Graham to TV Guide: "Both Alexis And I Felt Tired"

Lauren GrahamTV Guide's Ausiello got the scoop from Lauren Graham herself about the Gilmore finale and why there won't be another season. As usual, LG is candid and honest, and we appreciated hearing her take on this, but it doesn't ease the pain of knowing that one of our favorite shows is on its way out.

But enough doom and gloom. We always try to find something positive in bad news. So how about this? We liked hearing that Lauren requested some changes to the finale -- changes that sound like good ones to us: "I thought this should be an opportunity to say good-bye, or at least have some sort of acknowledgement of all these characters... I felt it was important to go a little deeper."

Read the interview and tell us what you think of Lauren's comments.

I agree,..I still Totally want the GilmoreGirls Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Totally want the GilmoreGirls Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was crushed when I found out that Gilmore Girls was gettong canceled. I have the hugest obsession with it. I have seasons 1 through 4 and I love them to death. I really hope you won't cancel this show it is at its show high notch and it would be a huge and a complete mistake if you canceled Gimore Girls. My life will never be the same I have been watching this shpw for 7 years now and Please rethink canceling this show! Plese!

Based on her interview, I feel that the show should end. If they don't want to do it anymore, it won't be good if they force it. I hate to see it go, but I want it good or not at all.

im completely devastated!!! i cant believe that this will be the last season. this show has been a part of my life for 4 years, ive grown up with L&R as well. please do atleast one more seaon for your die hart fans like me.

GG is one of the most talented well written and unique shows ever, and never got the recognition it so deserves. The great acting talents of Lauren Graham and the rest are top notch! To cancel this show at this time would be a huge mistake. Please rethink CW and go for one more season!

Please re-air last night's episode. What was the need to dedicate valuable air time to fire coverage? That was infuriating!

Please re-air last nights episode! Stupid fire ruined everything! Only 2 more episodes and we have to miss one? Who cares about a fire? Thats L.A.!

nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! this show cant end...

There are so many unanswered questions about this show that can not possibly be andswered in the last episode ... i think that they should come out with seson 8 to tie up all the loose ends ... when there is so much drama, so much going on in a show you cant just end it.

Gilmore Girls is my life ... i have all the episodes on dvd or recorded to my t.v .... without Gilmore Girls next year, I dont know what i'll do ... it just simply needs to come back!

I just found out tonight that there is only one more episode... it seems a little rediculous. I haven't read a lot into it, having just found out, but the fan base is huge and it seems as though there is plenty more to happen and so many story lines that we will probably never get to see answers to in the final episode. I am also INFURIATED with KTLA for inturrupting tonights episode 12 minutes in with a "live fire" story. Many reasons it should have only been a 5 minute blurb or nothing at all: We live in fire country, the location was well over 65 miles from my area, there was no new information - they just kept filling in space and time with ramblings, it went on for over an hour (could still be on, I gave up)and now I am missing the second to last episode??? GRRRRRRRR

Enough with the fire in Hollywood hills.
I want to see Gilmore Girls.
When will this episode air?
Why do you think every channel has to report on the fire.

How can we watch tonight's episode? I was looking forward to tonight's episode!!!

I am too disappointed to ever watch the cw again.

we are so upset that our favorite show is coming to an unexpected end. why are you doining this to us. We look forward to Gilmore Girls every week. And now what are we going to do with are Tuesday nights. We think that you guys could go on for a long time with this great show, you have so many fans out there. Just to let you know we would like you to rethink about what you are doing to your fans.

I am so upset that Gilmore Girls is going to be over!! Me and My mom watch it all the time each week!I also watch the repeats of the episodes from all the previous seasons. It is one of my favorite shows.I know i am most likely going to cry when i watch the series finale. When i told my mom we both got upset! Why does Gilmore Girls have to end. I know the cast will all do great stuff but i will miss seeing them,and a great tv show come to an end...

It's good to hear from her and Mike handled it well.

For CW

1- Why they couldn't find a way to make it work and have a easier schedule?
If needs 2 weeks for an episode, you take 2 weeks or 3 weeks. Viewers can wait. Of course it doubles the budget.
What f***.. Ads won't leave, and you can have that half last season only once. And you hooked a lot of grateful fans.
How many bucks do you waste in stupid programmes or parties?
Being stingy with Gilmore Girls sounds like sexism.

For Lauren

2- Do it with only alexis?? Try to hear what fans say and want. An option would be with only Lorelai (and Luke and the town and grandparents), as Rory got a job out.

3- "This is too complicate". Are you mocking us, like the wedding dress (for the benefit of everyone's memory, when the wedding wasn't happening)? What is not complicate?

4- Honesty is appreciated. Maybe you can watch GG now, in some of your spare time.
What you should have done it's listening to what fans think of the show. Hire someone if it needs.
No Lorelai-Chris relashonship could stand after season 3. If you can't remember, in the same 6.22 episode Lorelai says: "I'have never loved anyone until Luke", and half an hour later she sleeps with Chris. Awful for fans, awful for the story. It's second grade bad homework. It didn't make the story better, it wasted time and the most part of our last season.

5- No one (maybe just someone did) wanted a finale with a double wedding, expecially for a young Rory starting her first adult job. But we wanted to see Luke moving in with Lorelai.

6- Yes, yours and Scott's (Lorelai and Luke's) banters are one of the best things of the show.

7- It is not that healthy joking too much about GG movie. There's people here thinking of it for days. Are we ridiculous? Yeah, we are. We are also those crazy internet people (Lorelai speaking).

There is a serious effort by fans to get CW to reopen negotiations since they were so close to a Season 8.

Please help. There may still be a Season 8. Darlene

This has been my favorite show since it began. I loved every character, every situation. Lorelai, Luke, Rory, Emily, and Richard are like family.

The past few seasons have been such a rip-off. I feel gypped. Luke has a daughter and hides it from Lorelai? Rory gets arrested, quits school, and works for the DAR? Lorelai and Chris elope?

This season is the biggest disappointment because of the unbelievable plots. There are so many loose ends. How can they possibly tie them up in two episodes?

I hoped the show would come back next year bigger and better. I guess I'll just have to watch the reruns on ABC Family.

I can't believe this is all coming to an end...It is surreal that all we've been waiting for... Rory to get on to a great start in life and for Lorelai to end up with Luke and create the traditional All American DysFUNctional family along with April...is definetly cut short and I know that it would be wonderful to see the fun, struggles and bond of such a family in a last episode, if at the very least to tie it all up. My heart is saddened and I will miss it greatly! Good Luck to all the cast members, you have definetely made a great impact in my life as I'm sure in the lives of many. Stars Hollow and the Gilmores will be missed. Congrats and Good Luck!

i think that this sucks so much, because this is one of my favorite shows......i think that they should think about their fans on this one that show is what gets me to the next week cause i always want to see what is going to happen with her and luke............you have to have a aeries fanale cause this is no way to end a show...........or just take a break cause i am always anticipating for the new episodes and i even watch all of the old episodes like three or four times like " i am a messenger , nothing more" you have true fans out here, you should think about them just take a year or two off no t quit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(
this news just ruined my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so serious
