How To Save Your Favorite TV Show

Help a ratings-challenged show by joining the lobbying efforts of a web site like savethatshow.com. The site lists shows that are in danger of termination; votes to save the show are periodically sent to network executives.

Search the internet for web sites dedicated to saving the show so you can add your support. If none exist, start one. Post contact information for the network’s entertainment executives, and ask fans to bombard them with letters, faxes, phone calls, and e-mail. Provide a forum on your site where fans can leave comments.

Research TV critics who have given positive reviews to your show and ask them to help publicize your campaign.

If there are DVD sets of your show, buy them, and encourage friends to do the same. If a network sees a spike in sales, they may reconsider their decision to cancel a show.

Alert other stations to your efforts, especially cable channels. Another network might be willing to pick up the show if you can prove it has a rabid following.
