About Girlfriends
Girlfriends follows lawyer Joan Clayton and her three friends through dating and careers across eight seasons from September 2000 on UPN and The CW. Created by Mara Brock Akil, its 172 episodes made it the longest-running live-action Black sitcom of its era.
The runs stack from 22-episode seasons to a strike-shortened 13-episode eighth ending in February 2008 without a planned finale. The show stays episodic with relationship arcs threading through, so air order shows each friendship evolving. Start at season one for the original foursome before cast changes reshape it.
Good to know
Air order suits 172 episodic installments with threading romances. The 2007 writers strike cut season eight short, which explains the abrupt stop rather than any story logic. Spinoff The Game continues one thread with a new cast, but it stays outside this order as its own show. No revival has been announced, so the run is complete.
