BREAKING -- Palladinos Leaving Gilmore Girls CONFIRMED

Via the Ausiello Report at TV Guide Online late Tuesday Night:

Dr. Woodard...

I would point out when it comes to the press they are prepared for
stuff like this.

Famous actor xxxx dies today, many papers aleady have 40+ pages ready
to roll the moment they die.

Same with the Pope, Aging Presidents, etc.

Comes in handy when the Pope/Aging President/Actor dies on Sunday
morning when none of the staff are in the office.

"Worst Gilmore Girls News Ever

My fellow Gilmore Girls fans. [Sigh] My poor, unfortunate fellow
Gilmore Girls fans. If you thought rumors of a Lorelai-Christopher
hookup in the season finale were as bad as it could get, you've got
another think comin' — and this one's a real heartbreaker. 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. I wish I were joking. The news was delivered to me late
yesterday, and I'm still in denial. The most fantabulous dramedy in
aeons, if not ever, is headed into what is likely to be its final

khalleron...

That would be M*A*S*H.

Karen...

I'd agree that it's the best dramedy ever. It still amazes me that I never
tire of watching M*A*S*H episodes I've seen dozens of times before.

Dr. Woodard...

What is unique about MASH is the show for Korea worked but a similer
show for Viet Nam could never have been done.

Korea had MASH, WW 2 had Hogans Heroes but not similar show could
have been done for Viet Nam.

mama or her right-hand man. [Sigh] Well, you can bet that when I chat
with AS-P herself in a few minutes, I'll get to the bottom of this.
And once I know anything, so will you. In the meantime, feel free to
panic. I know I am."
