Man,
I knew once Toni (Jill Marie Jones) was gone the show was gonna dip. I wasn't able to catch the past season so I watched the re-runs this summer and girlfriends minus one wasn't that bad. It was obvious that the re-addition of William's girlfriend, Monica, was an attempt to the keep the girlfriends at 4 but this year it's just annoying. I love Monica (the actor and the character) but it makes me long for Toni's shallow commentary and her unique thoughtfulness (how would Toni have dealt with Maya's miscarriage and so on).
What was once a great show has definitely ran it's course. Why is it still on? Maybe because they wanted to prove they could go on without Jill Marie or maybe because CW has no other show to replace it with. Either way, I'm glad that Producer and Creator, Mara Brock Alil, announced that this would most likely be the show's last season.
I just think that it's lacking some funniness. Lynn's character is dry and everyone just seems blah. Even William isn't as funny as he used to be.
My suggestion is that people pay more attention to the CW's new show Aliens in America or even the Game and don't forget about the hilarious Everybody Hates Chris (I hope that show will be on for a while!!!)
I probably will watching a bit of Girlfriends but maybe closer to the series finale.
