(Gilmore Girls fan site)We are sad to report that Gilmore Girls will not be returning for an eighth season. May 3, the CW and WB issued a joint statement announcing the end of the show.
If you haven’t been following The Return of Jezebel James site, JezebelJames.info, we’re counting down to the one-hour (double-episode) premiere. I’ve been linking to lots of great articles about Parker Posey, Lauren Ambrose, Amy Sherman-Palladino, and more.
I am so looking forward to the first episode on Friday, March 14!

In the episode “Back in the Saddle Again,” in reference to Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle.
RORY: Would you really have felt guilty?
LORELAI: No. But I would have felt guilty about not feeling guilty, and you can see how that could just go on forever.
RORY: Miss Gilmore and the Vicious Circle. Click to continue »
In the episode “Back in the Saddle Again,” in reference to Waiting for Godot.
EMILY: We’re waiting for your father.
LORELAI: It’s gonna get cold.
EMILY: We are waiting for your father.
LORELAI: We’ve been waiting forever.
EMILY: We have not been waiting forever!
LORELAI: Forever. Godot was just here. He said, “I ain’t waiting for Richard,” grabbed a roll and left. It’s been forever!
In the episode “Dead Uncles and Vegetables,” in reference to Patricia Hearst.
JACKSON: She’s so excited.
LORELAI: She’s brainwashed. She’s Patricia Hearst and my mother is the SLA. Click to continue »
In the episode “It Should've Been Lorelai,” in reference to Barrymore Theatre.
CHRISTOPHER: So, quaint evening of theater last night.
LORELAI: Ah yes, the Gilmore family players rival the Barrymores for their sophisticated, dramatic productions.
In the episode “It Should've Been Lorelai,” in reference to Matthew Broderick.
RORY: Yeah. Oh, and later I pictured you marrying Matthew Broderick, and we lived in New York in this great apartment in the village and we would talk about his Ferris Bueller days.
LORELAI: Just think how easy Producers tickets would be to get.
RORY: Oh, it would be fourth row center every night.
LORELAI: I’m sorry that Matthew and I couldn’t work it out, honey.
RORY: I’ll try to get over it.
In the episode “It Should've Been Lorelai,” in reference to Pee Wee Herman.
LORELAI: When you’ve thought about me and your dad – what have you been thinking all these years? … I mean, did you ever picture us potentially together, like ‘we are family’ together? …
RORY: Well, I’ll admit that I have pictured the three of us living together at various times, but in the way that all kids picture their estranged parents living together or the way they should be together, but it’s stupid.
LORELAI: It’s not stupid.
RORY: Yeah, I’ve pictured it.
LORELAI: Hm.
RORY: But I also pictured you with Pee Wee Herman.
LORELAI: Wow.
RORY: Yeah. We lived in his playhouse and we’d be talking to Chairy and Captain Carl would be walking by.
In the episode “It Should've Been Lorelai,” in reference to Ricki Lake.
LORELAI: When you’ve thought about me and your dad – what have you been thinking all these years? … I mean, did you ever picture us potentially together, like ‘we are family’ together?
RORY: Well, not really.
LORELAI: But sort of, it crossed your mind?
RORY: I feel like I’m on the Ricki Lake show.
LORELAI: Go Rory! Go Rory!
In the episode “It Should've Been Lorelai,” in reference to Bugs Bunny.
LUKE: You don’t seem your chipper self…
LORELAI: It’s okay. I’m just trying to recover from last night. It was one of those nights where you start off stepping in quicksand and end up with a 16-ton anvil landing on your head.
LUKE: I’ve had plenty of those. I’ll bring some coffee.
