Girlfriends Television Program

When it comes to on- and off-screen drama, it's hard to beat the comedy "Girlfriends." As "Girlfriends" launches its seventh season at 8 p.m. on Sunday, its creator is biting the hand that programs the show -- the new CW network -- saying she's not feeling the love. The network denies the charge, saying it has much love. One of its core stars dropped out unexpectedly at the end of last season and has turned down pleas to make a farewell appearance.
