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!
Joe Francis Out Of Jail!!!
How Do We Say This Delicately???
i wish the show would go on forever but 8 episodes is way too short-they better make them great
WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOO! Say it ain't so! This is my most favorite show in the whole world! PLEASE tell me that this is not true!
Wait a minute, this is the fifth season that is going on right now, it will be over at the end of this month for the season.
Re: jessd444 – Re: jessd444 – Oh please …you are few and far between. If you have ever lived or been to a big city with a large gay community you would know most gay women do not look like them. At least they could have thrown in an average gay woman instead of pandering to the male image of lesbians.
Damn and what are the odds of seeing any of these women in anything else with the narrow mindedness of others out there…unless they play straight roles…..I'm gonna miss Shane and all her lovely ladies!!!!
noooooooooooooo… say it aint soooooooooooo!!!!!!
I hope, hope, hope that "The L Word" ends with Jenny's death. She is such a fucking annoying, snotty character and I would love nothing more than to see her die a gruesome death.
BRING BACK QUEER AS FOLK!
SO Effing sad about this!! Addicted to Shane!! L-Word is huge, I'm gonna miss those hot bitches!
OMG NOOOOO!!! Ive been addicted to this show since the begining… Im so crushed. UGH there is nothing on tv to watch if this goes… what am I supposed to watch ? the cunts on whisteria lane or another shitty realitiy tv show… fuck that id rather read.
This is so dissapointing… I need a glass of wine….
I love you to death, but you should know that L Word is very much almost at the end of Season 5 …
Come on Perez, get with it
You should be up on an amazing show like L Word!
It does make me very sad, though. L Word is amazing on so many levels.
What garbage.
I never watched this stupid show. Where are all the gorgeous butches?!? I like my women in tool belts, not haute couture
.
my thoughts exactly: "nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!"
I guess it's for the best… The L Word hasn't been the same since they killed off Dana Fairbanks!!!!!
first of all
the show has been on (this season has started already)
and omg NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my babies gone
*tears*
Awww.I only started getting into it this season and and it's gonna end! I'm sad!
ahh i'm soo sad!! i've been addicted since season 1… what am i gonna do on sunday nights when i'm recovering from my weekend?? plus i have the biggest crush on shane!
the shows has been dead to me since dana died. i never forgave the producers.
see ya, folks!
that's BS, BS and so BS! waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!.. where could we protest?
that's BS, BS and so BS! where could we post our protest? who should we email?!!!
THANK GOD! Maybe now all of those talented actresses can move on to something that's actually half way decent. This show has been very successful…yes…but that doesn't mean it's quality…people tuned in for the sex. We all know it! The writing and most story lines were just a little short of GOD AWFUL. It's embarassing that such a team of talented women could produce such crap when they put their minds together. Maybe out their working on things as individuals they might put some good stuff out for us to see.
I'm glad for their success with the sex scenes that brought the viewership…the show sucked, good riddens…lets get well written drama's back on the air!!!
There is a reason most lesbians refer to it as The Lame Word ya know!
Oh…two more things.
What's with these lesbians that get the "SHANE" haircut? I mean, that rats nest doesn't even look good on Shane people! Get real!
You guys are going to look back on those hair do's the way I look back on my pictures from the 80's with the big hair. WHAT THE F'ing HELL WAS I THINKING?
Also…All these comments are right…lesbians by and large DO NOT look like this. God, I wish they were that feminine! There are a few, but they're hard to find.
It's about time. That show was disgusting. LOL!!!
Re: laurie –
I'm replying to my own email. How sad is that…
Actually I don't know how I could say this ’bout the show, I NEVER, EVER wacthed it and would NEVER. It's about LESBIANS! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Nooooooooo. Does anyone know why? Not enough money? Viewings not going well?
This is'nt good!!
i love this show
booo
no! why
NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO!
this is so sad
the show is awsome and a favorite with me and my friends and we're all just little straight girls..
ps. its on its 11th episode next week. pull yourself together, its been debut'd for 11 weeks.. apparently you dont even watch it. poopy brain!!
I'm sad.
GIRLS IN TIGHT DRESSES THAT DRAG WITH MUSTACHES!!!!!!!
"As the fifth season is set to debut later this month…"
The fifth season is already on air. Just two more episodes to go.
"By the time the last episode airs, the show will be one of the longest running programs in cable TV history with six seasons."
Just on Showtime.
Get your facts right…
Well the only thing that makes me happy from all this "TLW ending" drama is that…
MY EARS ARE FINALLY TAKING A BREAK!! Because, i've got to say that i am a TLW fan, BUUUUUUUT i have always hated the main theme, that song is just sooooo anoying. Seriously… I hate it!
Who hates the main song of The L Word more than me?
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!?!? This show has been so important to so many girls. They may think it's a non-realistic version of life, but it has empowered so many girls that I know. I'm going to miss it so bad. I thought Dana dying was bad. This is much worse.
RE: Rabid Bird
The women on the show hate the theme too. If you've watched the podcasts, or listen to the dvd commentary… they sounds pretty embarassed and annoyed by it.
So many talented actresses on this show. I hope they all can succeed outside the lesbian world. Even though the storylines were sometimes implausable, the show had an all female cast that held their own. Plus as a lesbian, the sex scenes were our best alternative to fake screaming girl on girl porno
Re: BetteIsBeautiful –
=) I knew that Kate and Erin Daniels made jokes of the song in some documentary, but is good to know that most of them hate it too, thank you.
I guess they didn't got the right musicians or producers to do it. They should have call PEACHES!!!
Now that would be interesting.
They should make a open contest to change the Main Theme. Is either the fans who are musicians to compose a original theme for the show or the fans who are not that close to their musical side but have the option to choose the main theme, something like that. It gives the chance to interact with the fans a little more… Or at least for the last time =(
*Please excuse my "Less than perfect, but understandable" English.
I am already watching the 5th season back in Europe…
Please, sharpen your info on the dykes!
Are you kidding? This is such a shame. A show that is thought provoking on so many levels and the sex… Oh yeah… Hehe… Thanks ladies…
I will miss the show. I am happy there will be a sixth season. I hope katherine goes on to another series. Who else can I obsess on like her? I will miss the Characters and actors but not the bad story-lines!
Re: highlander –
…what a scary piece of random vitriol. you better check yourself, bad karma queen.
dé-gou-tée!!!!
NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!
i'm so distraught now. my television habits are going to be reduced to heroes, ghost whisperer, cartoons, and the news at this rate. well, they had a great run.
actually, i'm kind of lying because the show jumped the shark when dana died. it blew, but it hit close to home for me. so what's the most lesbian show on tv that's left? and don't say ellen, i mean fiction, preferably drama.
What will I do without my Alice fix?…
The girls will be missed
xxo
I am so sad…
I say this as a straight boy from freaking russia (you know how we love our lesbians we even made some up it the wherent really there with tatou) Thank God.The show quit good at the beginning but especially in the last season it is selling out to get more ratings and its turning into a cheesy unbelievable soap opera.Not because the girls are gorgeous (most lesbian or bisexual girls are know a really beautifull) but because the character development was going doing the drain plus the plotline was getting more unbelievable by the episode.Its fine to have a cheesy over the top serie about lesbians when you started out that way but if you want to write a series character drama ,where being lesbian is a big a part of the show as the actually lives these women live,then pulling all those ludicrious stunts (what the fuck was that sitdown shit or the whole trustfund daddy thing) to get more ratings is deadly.Its mercy killing people so please let it die a gracefull dead and bring another show about lesbians on the screen that is either playfull funny and farcical or a serieus character piece but make up or mind and stick to it please.
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOO!
This cant happen!
Should I help to finance the next 6 seasons?
lol
OMG WHY! They could so be on another 3 yrs! I've watched this show from the beginning! It really is awesome. SHO has serious probs.. They put dumb shows like the Tudors on.. Who cares about that! I like to see real life TODAY! The same with Queer as Folk they ended that too early too. DAMN SHO!
this is sooooooooo sad! What am I going to watch now????
Oh and I lOVE SHANE! I hope she goes on a new show.. Perhaps Californication? They really need to look to the fans and have at least a season 7! I think it did jump the shark after Dana's death. That SUCKED! Also I don't like the whole Jenny storyline. If you all rememeber in the beginning how she started.. a confused straight girl kinda crazy.. Eh, never liked her. But I love Shane and I even love Bette and Tina. They can't cancel this. Perez find out who we can protest to to keep this show!
I am so upset about Lword ending. Lword shows people that not all lesbians are butch!! I love Bette!!!
thank god..
that show went from having a storyline, to softcore porn real fast!
there are more straight girls watching this show than lesbians…
This is too bad…I love this show! Although, I do think it's gone downhill since they killed off Dana…she was one of my favorites.
Nooooo, that's not fair! ;(
No way! This show is amazing! I love it!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! this cant be true i base my Sundays on the L WORD and look forward to it every year!!!
Even though I'm a gay boy, I love the L Word because I used to live in LA and I enjoy seeing some of the locations they use to film there. However, and maybe some of my luscious lesbo sisters agree, this season seems to be a little bit off. Just not as good as the last 4. Maybe it's time to call it a day? I would like to see more Helena!!!!! WTF happened to her character? She was fabulous! And her mother Peggy Peabody!!!! I do love Cybill Shepherd's injection into the show, but I just think the whole Jenny/movie thing is off track. And what's with that stupid bitch from Miami trying to swing her dick around and blackmail the other ladies? Kit is a strong black woman who could take that skinny bitch in a new york minute!!!
That is SO upsetting! I have come to LOVE the L WORD. I am a hetero married mom of 4, but it gives me something I have only gotten from them. Can't we do something about this?!
SHIT MOTHER F-ER! that sucks
i always had a straight-girl-lesbian crush on Shane
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah..by the way…u made some typos
Does anyone know the "REAL" reason why the L word is being cancelled ????????
im just happy they get another season…but i will miss the l word
Kate Moenig (Shane) is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen… so sexy !! sorry getting back to reality here haha…all of the actresses bring their talent to a new level within the series. Such a good show for Gays & Straights….so sad its going off air.
Get your facts straight Perez! Sex and the City was the first cable tv show that lasted for 6 seasons, not the L word. Yes the show is ending, but its just added to history.
xx
Awww, that sucks! I love the L Word, I can't believe we only get one more season.
NOOOOOOOO!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! I can't breath!!! No Katherine Moening fixes…. no no no!!!!! Oh please let her stay on our screens somewhere!!!! I love the L Word but Miss Moening… you rock my world! So sad now! ;(
the end of an era……..
this show was like my religion! it was my one show that i loved the most! its so depressing, but all the ladys can move forward with other things they would love to do… good luck ladys!
This upsets me deeply !!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! OMG I could cry! R u sure? NOOOOOOO!!!!
Noooooooooooooooooooooo! This is my fav show ever, I'm so sad to see it go. It's done so much for us lezzies out there. I'm gonna miss Shane the most, she'll always be my fav character on television. I need my Shane fix! Oh and someone said earlier that there ain't any lipstick lesbians out there like there is on the show. Um honey, I'm a total lipstick lesbian, although I'm quite boyish personality wise, I look like your typical femme: long hair, make up, etc. So yes, we DO exist.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW!!! VERY DEPRESSING!
omfg
they cant just quit =(
do something about it perez
omg no! i love that show! they can't END IT! next week is gonna be epic!!!
No need to fear there will be a 6th, and final season- it was just announced
Re: suckass – omg I thought I was the only one who hated her…
this show sucks balls, im glad its over
