Speculation about the cancellation of long running Gilmore Girls and the relatively new but unbelievably clever Veronica Mars both on the new CW has fans, such as myself, panicking about where this will leave the characters they have gotten to know so well over the years, and what they will do with the two hour time gap on Tuesday nights.
Even though Veronica Mars is still in its infancy, on only its third season, the show has caught the interest of many viewers by telling the dramatic story of a teenage girl who doubles as a private investigator. From her cases that often put her in danger, to the sordid events of her, and other various characters, love lives, the show promises action packed episodes every week. So why would they want to CANCEL such a show?
Currently in its eighth season, the hit television series Gilmore Girls is speculated to be coming to its final hour on May 15, 2007. The show, which tells the story of Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory, was a unique show from season one. Its original writers, Amy Sherman, and Dan Palladino began the legacy of quick witted characters and obscure pop culture references, but have since left the show, their departure having a major affect on the quality of the show. However, the show has survived and is on its second season without the pair, who originally planned to end the series with Rory’s graduation from Yale University, which is upcoming in the story line. While it’s understandable for the actors to want to move on to new things and, as much as I hate to admit it, for the series to end, where will the writers leave the characters? Will Rory and Logan get engaged? Are Lorelai and Luke meant for each other? Or will they leave us open-ended, driving fans crazy for the rest of time?
A survey taken by E! online where people can vote for one show they’d like to see return for the 2007-2008 season revealed the two shows at places 1 and 2 on the favorites list, Gilmore Girls just ahead with 36% of voters, and Veronica Mars with 32%.
Other shows on the fence include Supernatural, One Tree Hill, and Scrubs.

Cute. Sorry your Tuesday nights will be in such disarray this summer. While these impending cancelations may be traumatic to many of your calssmates, this topic is not inherently relevant to PHS. In future blogs, try to keep the school in mind.
To answer your question, "So why would they want to CANCEL such a show?" simply - ratings. It doesn't matter if a show is "good" it only matters if it is popular enough to attarct viewers. What you should do in your posting is suggest what Pembroke can do about it. If you really want to keep Gilmore and Veronica on the air, start a letter writing campaign or an internet petition. Urge your classmates to contact CW and keep the shows on the air. If the public can demonstrate interest in the shows, they will be back. Use this powerful forum for positive change!
