I totally agree with others that the quality has drastically declined in seasons 6 and 7. I think the show jumped the shark in the season 5 finale when Rory decided to quit Yale and move in with her grandparents, *just* because Mitchum Huntzberger gave her a bad review on her internship (the opinion of one only person, who she already knew–through her boyfriend Logan Huntzberger–that Logan’s dad was an over-critical jerk). It jumped again when Luke found out he had a daughter who was kept secret from him for years, and it took a mile-high leap over the Earth’s entire shark population when Lorelai slept with Christopher on the night Luke turned down her idea to elope.

*However*, these last two years still weren’t without a few redeeming qualities, and you could tell they were trying to brings things back to normal throughout season 7.

I might be one of the few people who still wanted a short, 13-episode eighth season. Despite the decline in quality, I’d still prefer things to wrap up in a satisfying way. That would, primarily, involve Luke & Lorelai getting back together in a gradual, believable way. I doubt that will happen in the one episode remaining. If not, that’s diappointing. If so, that’s too rushed. I think they needed just 13 more eps to bring things to a proper end.

I at least wish that there had been more warning that this was the last year, so that perhaps the series finale could contain more nostalgia about the last seven years. The finale is six days away, so maybe it will have said nostalgia, but I just doubt it.

Oh well; nothing I can do about it now.

She isnt in it ANYMORE. When April came around she was to appeal to what made the show a hit in its earlier years. It didnt work, and test audiences gave MUCH negative feedback so she was quietly written out of the show.

Season 7 >> Season 6, plus I’ve really enjoyed Season 7 on the whole, I feel like its ready to come to an end, but I feel the writing in general has been good and I don’t feel like its been scraping the bottom of the barrel or nothing. What’s with Rodney so despising the April storyline, she’s hardly in it.

I’m sorry but I can’t do anything but agree with CJ and TEDWARD.
I loved this show in the past. This show was fun for us men too,
not only women. Lauren Graham is sooooo hot and cute and funny!!

I have to agree with CJ that last season sucked (for Gilmore standards) and wasn’t as good as previous seasons. The Palladinos really screwed it up last year.

Nick, clearly you haven’t seen this show.

Yes, it is girly and deals with interpersonal relationships, so there are no gunfights or car chases.

But it is often funny… or rather it was.

No, it shouldn’t have been cancelled last year. It should have been cancelled the year before that. Last season was just as crappy as this season. I’m glad they’re putting an end to it, I was starting to feel ashamed just watching it.
