04/20 - Series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has opted not to renew her contract and will be leaving at the end of the season — and she's taking husband Dan with her. As I reported on Friday, the primary sticking point was apparently the length of Gilmore Girls' renewal. AS-P wanted a two-year pickup, a demand that Warner Bros. refused to meet since Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are only on board for one more year. [so how could?] Instead, the studio was ready to pay them just shy of $5 million for a one-year deal, an offer that was apparently good enough to refuse. According to a statement released by Warner Bros., "While we are disappointed that Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino have decided not to stay with the show next season, we are very confident that Dave Rosenthal, an experienced writer/producer with the show, will make the transition seamless moving into the seventh year of Gilmore Girls. We want to thank Amy for creating and nurturing this wonderful series for the past six years and giving us one of the most memorable mother/daughter relationships in television history."

twop re tonite's:
-This was written by David Rosenthal. The only eppie all season that really moved plotlines and where everyone was up to snuff.
I'm going to love season 7.

-While this won't go down as one of my all-time favorite episodes of GG ever, it's one of the better eps of this otherwise bleak season. agreed. Some of the plotholes were filled in a little more; the storyline is finally starting to move along. Thank you, Mr. Rosenthal; you're givinng me hope for next season. Let's hope you can get a good director & a kick-ass writing staff to set this show back on track.
