As the fifth season is set to debut later this month…

Showtime has announced that their very successful lesbionically delicious drama The L Word will end its run on the network next year.

By the time the last episode airs, the show will be one of the longest running programs in cable TV history with six seasons.

According to the net, fan input will play a part in wrapping up the series' story lines, noting the role that viewer input has played in the past.

Goodbye ladies and good run!

    56

    thank god! do any of you know any lesbians that look like the ladies on this show? HELL NO! that's because they didn't want to portray the big ole bull-dyke image that seems to permeate lesbians worldwide. i think lipstick lesbian is a fantasy created by str8 guys. what fools!

  57. BRITNIE says – reply to this
    57

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THAT'S MY FAVORITE SHOW.. EVER. AND LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE WAS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN.. FINALLY TINA AND BETTE ADMIT THEY STILL LOVE EACH OTHER… UGH … THEY CAN'T TAKE IT OFF. I'M SAD NOW LOL

    58

    No, No, No, this is the worst news ever! I love that show so much!! Can't we start up a petition to bring it back. I know it has a strong fan base, and it's not like the plot lines were getting stale, they brought in a bunch of new characters this season.

  59. S. says – reply to this

    "By the time the last episode airs, the show will be one of the longest running programs in cable TV history with six seasons."

    Uhh i think you should check you facts there Perez, because there are about 100 shows that take that prize before the L Word.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    This show must stay on. The cast is way too great. I am heartbroken. This is fucked up. I love the plot line. I love the characters. I love the message about relationships. This show is great for society. This is ridiculous.

    Re: larray
    you really think that there are no lesbians in the world that don't fit your ignorant stereotype? you must live in a small town with small minded people like yourself.

    Re: Grace Jones – That wasn't Perez's comment — that was from a press release. But saying the 5th season will debut soon … yes, that was a mistake.

    Re: Grace Jones
    Um, actually he's right. On Showtime, this is the first EVER show to go past 5 seasons… and even on HBO etc it doesn't happen often. Maybe you're getting mixed up with regular network shows where obviously there are quite a few that have gone to 6 seasons.
