"Gilmore Girls," a CW mainstay network show, and that of the WB Network, the CW's predecessor, will end its run after seven seasons. The show, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, ends May 15. "Girls"
was the first program to get initial script funding by the Family Friendly Programming Forum, a group of major national TV advertisers that promote family-friendly values in programming. "Girls"
slipped somewhat this year in ratings, versus a year ago on the WB. Still, it was among the best-rated shows on the new CW network. Because of a contract dispute, Sherman-Palladino left the show after
last season. --Wayne Friedman
