We hear from a source within the “Girlfriends” writing camp that the CW has decided to cancel the series immediately instead of bringing it back for a ninth season. While no official announcement had been made as of press time, we were told the CW will not even film this season’s remaining nine episodes that were suspended during the writer’s strike. Ironically, news of the show’s cancellation comes just as the strike has ended and the writing staff was preparing to return to work. We were informed by one of the writers yesterday that Monday night’s one-hour block of new episodes served as the show’s last. “Girlfriends” became the longest-running live-action comedy series currently on network television with the debut of its current season in October 2007. The writers strike suspended production after only 13 of 22 ordered episodes were completed.

I also hear that Mara Brock Akil and the rest of the production crew were planning to bring Jill Marie Jones back for the series finale, but never got that far. Oh well, they were just a little too late. I was one of the folks who stopped tuning in when Toni Childs was voted off the island, but I do support the show and I hate when they cut great sitcoms off without a proper ending.

There are a few numbers underneath the cut that you can use to call in and verbally bitch-slap a few execs, if you feel the need to fight for the girls.
