Rumors have been all over the net this past week about the CW series Girlfriends being canceled. We were waiting for some legit news to hit the net and here it is, an official statement from MARA BROCK AKIL creator of the series.

Mara Brock Akil, Creator/ Executive Producer of Girlfriends releases statement.

“Although it’s always difficult to say goodbye, I choose to focus my energy on the history that Girlfriends has made, the human stories that we told, the beautifully complex images that we projected and the blessings 172 episodes bestowed on us, both personally and professionally. I am immensely thankful to the amazingly talented cast, writers, directors, staff and crew for their endless dedication and hard work for eight seasons, to the network that always wanted us and the studio that always supported us, but mostly to the audience, especially African-American women, who took the time to tune into us every Monday night at nine to have a dialogue with us and who have been our partner in this journey. I am currently in talks with the studio and network on putting together a retrospective show which will honor and celebrate this landmark series, so please stay tuned.”

Hopefully they do a final episode or that would be messed up.

“FAT CHANCE” WINNER ON IDOL

One show that will probably always return is American Idol. After weeks of funny auditions airing, the final 24 were picked on the last episodes. One of the finalist include former “Fat Chance” winner and plus size model JoAnne Borgella.

Watch her her audition above and see if she has a chance at becoming the next Idol…

HUXTABLE KIDS ON OPRAH

Oprah went all out for her Cosby Kids reunion that aired on Tuesday. With the set built as the classic Huxtable house, the now grown-kids Raven-Symone, Keisha Knight Pulliam, Tempestt Bledsoe, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and Sabrina Le Beauf stopped by to reminisce about being on the show.

Too bad Denise (Lisa Bonet) wasn’t there, but Bill did chime in via satellite. Watch a clip of the episode here or read up on it at Oprah.com

Lisa Bonet hates Bill…no shock she wasn’t there… And Countess only showed for attention, she was a bipolar brat on set…

oprah has some serious funds and fame. only she could have her set re-built to look like that. nice to see all of them doing well though. i just saw Malcolm Jamal Warner on an episode of “Dexter”. make that money!!!

Damn, why CW gotta do Girlfriends like that?? at least finish up this season and give the fans some closure. good grief!

Wow, that ‘Girlfriends’ news is pretty f—ed up. I haven’t watched in a while, but If I were a hardcore fan that would really dissapoint me.

I saw that Oprah episode it was off the chain to see them sitting in the same set. A show like that was long over due!

girlfriends hasent been the same there needs to be more drama and its not funny like it used to be but it shouldent be canceled ….raven is so much more beautiful than tempestt but every one is saying tempestt is more beautiful because she’s skinny

The show was good. I was glad to see that all of them are doing their thing and are positive intelligent adults. Keisha is a beautiful young woman. Uh Lisa Bonet wasn’t there because she had a baby not because she can’t stand Cosby. Uh yeah she had a baby go figure. Raven Simone is an absolutely another gorgeous young woman at 22yrs old she is doing the dern thing! She is a force to be reckoned with amongst young adults in the business. She definately has her business in order and is very focused

I used to be a Huge fan of Girlfriends but, the storylines started becoming a bit over the top for me…..I still watch it from time to time tho… Hate to see them go….dah well - I’ll catch the reruns.

13.

gg boo

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

that’s a shame about gf - i don’t watch, and don’t know anyone who does, so it’s not a shock, but it was a positive show at least…

is it just me or is this screen really cut off on the left side? that’s been happening a lot for some reason.

@13. My screen is the same way. It refreshing to see all the stars from the Cosbys arent all coked/whored out. Even if they are, they hide it very well ; )

Helluva statement…I love good ass professional writing…a retrospective’s a good idea.

Lisa Bonet, WTF…couldn’t even kick it Cosby style for an hour for O? I’m sure there’s SO much I don’t know about her history w/the show but dang…

Lisa Bonet would not have been there if she hadn’t had a baby….she loathes Bill and couldn’t wait to get off the show… Why do you think they created “A Different World” if she was only going to stick around for a season? Her coming back to Cosby was more about continuity and big bucks than it was about loving what she was doing…She loathes him…lol

so raven simone is not preggars..who started that rumour
maybe she just wanted to branch out and do different things
she is not like the knowles girls babies and not smart

And, Lisa’s been all out shopping with that baby lol

Another one bites the dust! First ‘Soul Food’, now this!! I must say that I will miss ‘Girlfriends’…even though it never recovered after Toni left the show. Actually, the show was getting kinda wack. However, I think we’ll all miss seeing educated black women leading positive lives.

23.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

This was an awesome show…sad to see it go, but honestly after Tony left I stopped watching it. The writer’s strike has impact all great tv.

24.

Elle (and HATING it!)

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

it’s weird how Joan went from the central character, having those asides like the Carrie character’s narration in Sex and the City, to just being one of the four… I started watching the show years after it had been on…I’ve seen maybe 20 episodes…and it was weird to see old reruns of Joan turning to the camera and the newer episodes at the same time… Everytime she’d do an aside I’d freak out… And, I have no idea why I’m breaking my posts up…

25.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

Countess? This ain’t The Parkers, I think you meant Tempestt. lol. Its sad when someone doesn’t go to a reunion sort of things because of grudges or things of that nature, I hate to see someone missing.

Did this already air, or will it be airing soon? If not, I’ll be waiting for the repeat.

Am I the only one who finds MARA BROCK AKIL to be one immensely articulate and intelligent woman? That response she gave was just beautiful. I love her. Cant wait to find out what she’s working on next. BET should scoop her up for some original sitcoms. But I think ABC or some of them will get to her first.

But The Cosby Kids are really inspirations. They are such a testament to higher education and the power of a degree. They are all very well spoken, intelligent, mannered people. And that Keisha Knight Pullman is too die for. Graduate of an HBCU and just stunning. Also got much love for my girl Raven. People can say what they want but that young lady is proud member of the Talented Tenth.

#28 Toni was not praying for a white man. in that episode she was thanking God that she found someone to love because she had given up on love, and she also said that Todd came in the package that she was not expecting but that she was grateful anyway. Get it right before you make a dumb comment…

Poor Girlfriends I knew it was coming You cant lose a main character Switch the set (moving Joan in wit Aaron and whatnot) Write some crappy shows and expect to keep the same momentum anywho ill reminesce with the re-runs

And I so love the Cosby liked Olivia better than Rudy but anywho I wish I’d known that episode was coming on I would have tuned in Hope they re run it And what is Lisa Bonet’s beef with the Cos?

36.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

UGH! I’m so upset about Girlfriends. I modeled my LIFE after that show. lol I admired how they were black professional positive black women with a good friendship. Can’t believe they would take something as positive as that off the air w/o even giving it a proper farewell. That’s effed up. Even MARTIN had a proper farewell, and it didn’t even last as long.

Good to see the Cosby kids. Raven is my girl! I love That’s So Raven. Keisha is so cute. I’m so mad I missed this episode! I guess that’s what happens when you work 8:30-5:30 and don’t have TiVo in your life. haha

37.

oatsuzn

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

@32

It wasn’t a dumb comment. No matter how u chop it and analyze it, she was praying(talking) to God and thanking him for her white man. Go read a book and stop dissecting sitcoms. You must be 14.

BIGGESTAALIYAHFAN

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS ISN’T TRUE GIRLFRIENDS CANCELED IT CAN’T BE. GIVE AT LEAST ONE MORE SEASON PLEASE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE JOAN GET MARRIED, TONI MAKE IT BACK FOR THE ENTIRE AND FINAL SEASON, MYA AND DARNEL ADOPT A CHILD AND LYN BECOME A VERY SUCCESSFUL ARTIST AND FIND LOVE AND HAPPINESS, WHILE WILLIAM AND MONICA BRING IN A BEAUTIFUL CHILD INTO THE WORLD. THERE IS SO MANY DOORS THAT HAVE TO BE CLOSED PLEASE NOT THIS NEXT SEASON. I’M SUCH A HUGE FAN. I LOVE GIRLFRIENDS.

Lisa Bonet needs to get over the fued that she has with Bill Cosby grow up and be a women. every reunion show that they have had she has not showed up. that shows a lot about her character.That’s such ashame.

I like the Cosby show, I really do. However, we shall not forget that the new Raven is not as nice as she appears…

I knew that this would happen. Girlfriends has just not been the same without Toni Childs. Then the story lines for this season were bad and Joan is once again man-less, seen it all before.

41.

nikita

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

Ever since they let Toni go Girlfriends was never the same. It really has fallen off but everyting must come to an end. It is however dissapointing that they cannot have a series finale.

42.

Tracie

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

@40, continued.

They also should have given it a proper farewell instead of leaving us viewers in the dark. The show made history, it ties with “The Cosby Show” for the longest running African-American sitcom. If it would have lasted on more year, it would have beat their record.

New shows and yes, even a new lawsuit come with the territory of launching a new network.

Author Staci Robinson is suing The CW, its owners and some producers for $40 million for allegedly stealing the concept of her unpublished novel to create the sitcom “The Game,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The writer claims that in 2001, she had interviewed for a job as a writers assistant at Kelsey Grammer’s Gramnet Prods. when she gave a manuscript of her novel to “Game” executive producer Mara Brock Akil. The suit, filed Sept. 14, alleges that the series copies her premise and the characters in the book.

She names the CW and its owners, CBS and Warner Bros., Akil and Gramnet as defendants. Besides the hefty monetary damages, Robinson is seeking a temporary restraining order to keep the network from premiering the show on Sunday, Oct. 1.

Both the written and filmed versions center on a woman who is devoted to an NFL player, but wants to pursue her professional schooling. The show stars Tia Mowry as Melanie Barnett, who gives up Johns Hopkins Medical School in favor of a local school when her boyfriend Derwin Davis (Pooch Hall) is chosen as the new third-string wide receiver for the San Diego Sabers.

When did Girlfriends first air? I thought it was 1999 or so…that would mean 9 years of it…Cosby was around longer, right?

Sad to see girlfriends go but we all know sitcomes dont last forever, they all have expiration dates (black white spanish asian - whatever). It was a great show but I, too, stopped watching after Toni left.

Cosby kids are Fab. How cool Raven is making the most out of all combined huh? You go girl. And Rudy dont look like herself! Either too much make-up or she got work done.

Having aired for 215 episodes, Family Matters is the second-longest running comedy with a predominantly African-American cast in the history of American television, surpassed only by The Jeffersons. [ source : wikipedia]

I was so excited about the Oprah episode with the “Cosby Kids.” It is so lovely to see them all grown up, well educated, and very well spoken. Too bad they can’t be the images on TV that little kids look up to, instead of the coked out, slutbag, jailbait whores of the other persuasion that is slathered all across our screens and magazines!!

I have been a fan of Girlfriends since DAY 1. The females are all so relatable and there is a little bit of us all in every one of them. I am so sad to see them go, but the storylines did kind of seem like they had no direction. The icing on the cake would be if we could get a finale with Toni Childs making a return. Can we at least have closure?

girlfriends being cancelled does not surprise me. The show was mediocore, teetering on boring. The writing took a slow downward spiral beginning when darnell discovered mya was cheating on him.

I still can’t believe their canceling “Girlfriends.” I looooove that show.
Those were beautiful words from Mara, and she’s actually quite beautiful. I’ve never seen her before and always wanted to know who she was. I’ll be checking for that show she’s talking about.
And that one Idol contestant is so gorgeous. Her, along with that one really short Asian girl, are my favorites so far. I think I might watch this the whole way through.

I can not believe that “GIRLFRIENDS” is being cancelled that is pure bullsh*t. I am completely upset. One of the best african american shows is cancelled, I also think the fans deserved a proper series finale since we are the ones who keep the show being aired with the ratings.

This season of G/F was one of the best since the first three years or so… hate to see it go. However, If they cancel “The Game” I’m going to the CW lot!

The O Show with the Coz kids was good. They said Lisa wasnt there cause of her new baby or being pregnant or some shit. Keisha is fly- Go Rudy! Raven is one paid bitch- you can tell she stuck up though!

Wow, the creator of Girlfriends is very pretty. And she named one of the characters after her own middle name, Brock. Very clever.

I am glad Oprah did a reunion show for The Cosbys. They were my absolute t.v. family ever. I felt like I was growing up with them and watched probably every episode even on the A Different World. They are still very beautiful adults and look very happy. I hope to catch a repeat of the show.

PLEASE….DONT CANCEL “GIRLFRIENDS” EPISODE, ITZ MORE INSPIRING THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW !!!! IT HELPS HAVING OUR COLOR ON THE TELEVISION SCREENS, ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS OUR COLOR DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE, OR SHOWING OUR COMMUNITY THAT NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE DRUG DEALERS,OR BAD PEOPLE WHO DONT WORK… JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

68.

Tabby

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

Raven IS paid !

Bill Cosby made it very clear to those kids, education is important. Especially if you wanna work with him. He saw Lisa going into another direction and he didn’t want that for her. Yes it sounds obessive, but he had a plan. I’m glad none of them are on Celebrity rehab. Some where upset about the comments Bill made a few years back. He just wants every kid to be a Cosby kid;So when shows like The Cosby show airs, it wouldn’t be so taboo. The Cosby show gave me something to look forward to.

If they cancel Girlfriends, they should do a movie on it, just like they did with Sex In The City, which Girlfriends is like the black Sex In The City anyway.

I have to say that this is some VERY disturbing news. I am deeply sadened that Girlfriends is being YANKED off of the air. I watched countless re-reun of re-runs during the writers strike just so they could have the chance to come back.I hope they give us ONE last episode with some closure ….Just as soon as Joan found love…I feel like she has been hexed (lol) Will Mya and Darnell adopt the baby? What’s to come of Lynn’scareer? We’ll never see William Dent III or Jr. ……so many unanswered questions……I am truely going to miss the show. I tuned in faithfully every Monday night. I wont be watching TV on Monday’s anymore……

@djerrica don’t bring that whole “it’s b/c she’s skinny” nonsense up. the “fat chance” winner is a big girl but she’s much prettier than keisha. if you’re a pretty girl , you’re a pretty girl and i’m sorry but raven’s hooked nose irks me and i could never find her to be pretty b/c of it. and she has no butt therefore yes, keisha is more attractive overall

anyway i used to love watching cosby! and i love bill b/c he tells it like it is. ppl might hate him b/c they’re afraid of hearing the truth but he says it anyway

and i’m not surprised about girlfriends . there are 4 major characters in that show. if any one of them is lost, the show tanks. it’s hard to bounce back from that

I hope that one day they will have a real cosby show reunion and for all the people that don’t know. Bill and Lisa ended their beef a couple years ago when her mother passed away I read this in one of her interviews in a magazine. Its nice that all 6 of the cosby kids are still in the game and to me they know how to keep real.

Don’t remember the winner of fat chance at all.

They should give girlfriends a proper finale.

The character that I’m going to be playing in theater today. is the one and only Sid Vicious ( Cindy Vicious ) of the iconic dirty , punk rock band “ THE DEVILS REJECTS “ . The setting is in a dirty, dark, and very dramatic small bedroom. There’s food all over the floor, furniture’s, and even smeared all over Sid’s cloths. We can see that the room is recovering from a post – party trauma, some of the furniture is damaged like that living room table that looks more like a side walk now. Bottles of beer and cigarettes litter the trashed hotel room. It’s mid – day , but the blinds in the small room block out any light from the outside , making it look like it’s mid-night , so it looks like it’s 2 o’clock but it’s really 3 P.M . The mood of the play is very dizzy , dark , and it takes short time until the setting allows you to take everything in ( the character the mood ) .
My character Sid Vicious ( Cindy vicious ) is a white male from southern Scotland , he is quite tall at a about 6”2 ( he’s very lanky , and looks quite taller , because of his weight ) . Sid is at a very unhealthy size at only 115 pounds, making him under his healthy weight (at 165 pounds). And he’s not naturally skinny. His depression, partying, drinking, and wild life style is taking a great toll on him. You can see by his state of condition for example (most of his bones are protruding out of his body, he’s breaking out allover, and he has numerous scars and bruises all over his body). He’s a wild character so naturally he needs a wild hair style, he was born with pitch black hair, but over years he had red Mohawks, blue comb over, and even the U.K flag printed all over his head when he shaved it off .He’s only 23 years old, so he is still a lad, but his out of control life style, makes him look 15 years his senior. His walk is affected by his mood, state of mind, and physical strength, when he’s at peace he’s jumping around or kicking rocks. When he’s thinking you can always see him swaying or spinning around .He’s always sitting with one of his legs on a other making him look sleepy. When he’s standing up one leg is always crossed in front of the other, adding to his heroin chic look. He moves in a very weird, dramatic and funny way, also adding to his bad boy image. He always seems to be biting his nails , licking his lips , scratching his arms , and whipping is face with a dirty handkerchief he’s always caring . He shudders, twitches, and even raises his voices when he gets nervous. One of his master gestures is hitting himself, and waving his arms to describe things. Sid was never a smart or very educationally talented kid when he was growing up. He dropped out of high school in the 10th grade to put full effort in his rock band .In school he was known as the bad- boy, out of control rocker, and school flirt. But over the years the innocent school ticking time bomb turned into the international rock star, with a dirty reputation. In the end he will always be known as the tragic superstar, the bad – boy with the golden heart, or Cindy Vicious a product of broken start.
Sid Vicious state of mind is at total panic right now , he’s depressed and he’s pretty much lost right now. At this point he’s trying to find out where his hearts at , he wants to know what happened to his life that every time he turns he finds lies , death , and sorrow ,his motivation is a better life and answers to all his problems . He wants to understand the situation he is now, to understand why his best friend Johnny, no his brother had to take away the only thing that he truly loved away from him, forever. At this point he doesn’t know what do , he wants to forget about it , but he can’t , he wants to forgive him but he cant , he wants to bring her back , but he can’t .Everyone around him wants to help , but he wont let them in , the world feels pity over their fallen star , but they can’t do nothing but watch and pray . But he sees them as a bunch of groupies that just want to take her place, he can’t look at his friends cause he keeps on seeing Johnny, he‘s paranoid. At the start of the story, he feels like it was his fault, it was his fault that he didn’t see the warnings. He blames himself for what happened, but in the end he realizes that he had nothing to do with it he was going to get him, he was going to make sure that his brother would be behind bars for the rest of his miserable life. But he still holds something in his heart, there’s still guilt for not doing nothing when he heard her scream, he still blames himself even though he knows he was paralyzed. He finally finds out what he needs to do, even though he didn’t get all his answers. He comes out a better man.

Damn! Just when Girlfriends was starting to get good again:( They had expanded their story line and everything. It was all starting to come together again and now off they go…

Maybe the actress who played Toni Childs left becuz she knew this was coming down the pipeline. hmmmmm

I was able to catch the last 10 minutes of the Oprah show wit the Cosby cast. It was interesting but I didnt get a chance to see much so I can’t really comment. All I can say is that the Cosby show is gone but will never be forgotten. Every black girl thought she looked like Rudy when they were little and I must say that I did look like Rudy. I wish they would’ve had a Rudy look alike contest back in the 80’s bc I would have won.LOL.

Girlfriends was dumb. I didn’t like it. The game is boring Everybody hates Chris needs to go back and do more episodes like like the first season they did on UPN or they gonna get cancelled too.

And Lisa wasnt on Oprah ‘cuz she just had a baby so Oprah said.

If they don’t work harder on the “real” black shows now we pretty much won’t have a black show that we can relate to ‘cuz they’ll keep cancelling them. The game is boring too. The show they have for blacks or people other than white people is Ugly Betty which I doubt black people are watching that show because its not really a black show. We need another show like the Cosby show but updated for us blacks today. We had UPN that was the channel for blacks why did they take that away from us. I use to watch the parkers. We need to get together and tell them what we want and maybe they will get us something good.

As far as Girlfriend that is a publicist’s speech. I believe she is pretty upset how the show was cancelled without a finale. The fans would have appreciated it more. The show didn’t feel the same w/out Toni Child-Garrett but I still watched. It is unfortunate how they took the show off the air.

The Cosby remake show looked like it would have been nice! Wish I could’ve caught it. Everyone looked great!

Well I think it was time for them to let it go. The Storylines were pretty weak. But they still deserve a damn Finale. i mean we atleast deserve to see Joan getting married lol. After all this damn time.

I, too, will miss G/F’s!! I LOVED that show. Unfortunately, the so-called ’series finale’ was shown Monday night at 9:30pm.

Good to see the Cosby kids on ‘O’! Great show!!

I hate that this is being made to be something its not. This was going to be girlfriends last season anyway. That was already decided. It wasn’t cancelled because of bad ratings.

This is just ridiculous. Based on the ratings alone and the it being the #1 show in Black household for years should be enough to DESERVE a finalie. Just out of respect to the loyal viewers of Girlfriends for all these years. Friends finale episode was on the Jumbo-tron in Time Square for crying out loud!

Everybody loves Raymond, Friends, Seinfeld all got their proper series finalie. But shows like Family Matters, Moesha, All of Us & now Girlfriends just gets the boot with no care to the fans. Black shows arent respected. The Cosby Show, Fresh Prince and A Different World all got finalies (maybe because they were all NBC shows), but if your on the CW/WB/UPN, your hit.

Fans want to finally see Joan get married and word is that they were in talks to getting Toni Childs for the series finalie. A retrospective show will do nothing but make fans more furious. It’s an insult.

I love Raven. She is one of the few wealthy young people that I can honestly point to and tell my students, there is a role model. She is not naked all the time, she is classy, and can give an interview. I hope she stays the same.

I loved Girlfriends although I admit that it did go downhill after Toni left. I went to the studio tapings twice(Valentine’s Day when Joan and William are dating AND the season 7 premiere when Jona goes to New Orleans and meets Aaron) and it was so fun, I was looking forward to going again! I’m so upset, it was a great experience. The actors are all so great and so sweet. Tracee is gorgeous and funny in person and so is Persia(she’s so so much more beautiful in person). Keisha(Monica) is really skinny and Golden is kinda full of herself, she thinks she’s ALL THAT. I wish they didn’t cancel this show, I really loved it. :(

Excuse my language, but this is BULLSHIT! I’ve been following this show from the beginning and I don’t even watch shows like that except for this one and Charmed and I knew the show was ending but for them to just up and cancel it like that, that’s not even right. Mara needs to get off of her azz and at least try to get the CW to do a 30 min series finale or something so we can find out what happens.

I AM A TRUE FAN OF GIRLFIRENDS AND HAVE BEEN FROM DAY ON AND CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SENSE JILL JONES (TONI) LEFT/ GOT FIRED WHATEVER ALL I KNOW IS THAT ALL THE GIRLS ON THE SHOW SERVED A PURPOSE AND COULD NEVER BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER ACTOR SO THE SHOW WAS KIND OF WACK AFTER TONI LEFT AND RUMORS OF THE SHOW BEING CANCELLED STARTED WAY BEFORE THEY CAME BACK FOR THIS LAST SEASON, BUT SOMEHOW I KNEW THIS WOULD BE IT, SAD TO SEE THEM GO BUT THE JUST ISN’T THE SAME, BUT FOR THE FANS WHO REALLY DON’T WANT TO SEE IT GO YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, THEY CANCELLED JERICHO AND THE FANS FLOODED THE PHONES, EMAILS AND FAXES AND THEY BROUGHT THE SHOW BACK SO IF YOU GUYS TRULY ARE FANS AND NOT READY TO SEE IT GO, DO SOMETHING ABOUT.

#75 I’m with you. Girlfriends has not been the same since Tony left. This has been the first yr/season that I only watched a few episodes. And the episodes I did see this season, WEAK!!!

The season that seemed to focus on Lynn and her band and her lover was just irritating. It was as if they were trying to actually promote the actress who plays Lynn (don’t know her name) singing career.

I can’t wait until they start selling more seasons on DVD. There are a couple of seasons that I will definitely buy. The ratings must be down for them to pull the show without closure. Oh well.

#32 I do agree with you that Toni was not praying for a white man. However, I don’t agree with you calling a harmless comment as #28 dumb. It’s not that serious.

I don’t know if you (Stacy H) and Stacy are the same person, but thanks for the clip of the Cosby Kids. I hate that I missed the show.
