Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

I disagree with you statement that a lot of people don't fanatically love the shows you mentioned. There are a lot of people who watched them just as religiously as most of us sci-fi geeks watch our shows.

Petitions are good for the fans, but to the networks they make very little difference. So far I have seen petitions to save Family Guy, Futurama, Married with Children, and Friends. They do get some media coverage, but they don't mean squat to the network, unfortunately. Now if all of the petitioners put a check for $1, that might make a difference!

I agree with Caption about a huge group of fans tha watch these sitcoms and reality shows religiously. A couple of months ago, I was working part time at a college with a lot of young teenagers their and they where watching an MTV show (I can't remember what it was called) where young idiots would do anything for money. Their was one part girls in Bikinis where told to eat chopped up worms or kiss some guys butt wearing their own thong bikinis. If they did it, they would get money. All thought it was disgusting, yet these kids loved it! I even asked a couple "why not watch something a little more educational?". I'm 26 and they looked at me like I was some sort of Alien or something. Next day, they were watching the same programs. Maybe I'm starting to get old at the age of 26 but these reality shows (whether its game shows or some stupied "Big Brother" show) seem like a total waste of film.

I've heard that we are copying these shows from some Third world countries like south America! Why the heck are we watching stuff made by third world societies?

If you want to write to someone about stopping the cancellation of FS, then visit this site. It has the addresses and such to do just that.

To let you know about petitions, they go into the trash can. Every single one in history has been trashed withuot reading.

You want results, letter writing campaign. Hundreds of billions of letters.

Processing that mail costs money and the studios know that.

Thank Bjo Trimble for proving that.
