: For one thing, I don't think it will work. I refer to a post down below (can't remember who). These mail campaigns are sketchy as it is when it comes to saving shows. This is merely pushing back an airdate.
: And another thing: that link you provided is to send mail about technical problems with the website, or other comments regarding said site. Any email sent there would most undoubtly have no effect, nor serve a purpose.
: The hand that's been dealt, must be played, so to speak. So, it's time to stick it out, suck it up, and support the shit out of the cartoon when it actually does air. I'm just as pissed as the next guy, but we should just face it, there's nothing that can be done about the situation. Even Kev pretty much admits that. If you want to make a difference, I suggest we work to hype the show's eventual debut and keep those ratings up.

: : Ok I did my part now some one come up with a good creative letter saying how much we can affect the out come of this show, or something like that. Post it and all we have to do is cut and copy it and put you name and addy on it and maybe they will see how much we care about this. Hey its just a thought....oh also send the letter to the boys over at News Askew and have them post it there as well. Lets cross our fingers and hope, if not we will have to rattle our sabers!!!!!!!

The orginal post was from me. What we first want to do is make sure that ABC doesn't keep changing the air date. Yes we want to pass the word to all of our friends to watch the show. Good initial ratings are what will keep it on the air. But writing ABC programming with HARD copy letters letting them know a LOT of us are looking forward to this show is something that will be hard to ignore. E-mail can just be deleted but big bags of mail have to be opened. Message boards are set up for fans to talk to other fans and can be easily ignored by the people that actually do the programming.
So, like I said before, let's stop bitching amongst ourselves and do something. ABC's address is: ABC
77 West 66th St.
New York, NY 10023
(212 456-7777
