Futon Critic:[Dated March 22] Courtesy of a Mailing list. UPN finally pulled the plug on its ill-conceived midseason comedies "As If" and "The Random Years" yesterday due to disastrously low ratings. To give you an idea of how disastrous - both series are expected to finish the 2001-2002 season as the two lowest rated series on the six major newtorks. UPN made a last ditch attempt to try and save "The Random Years" on Tuesday by airing back-to-back episodes, but despite topping its premiere numbers (1.8/3 vs. 1.5/2) in the opening half-hour, "Years" still averaged half of UPN's time slot average there last season. The network will run an encore of "Under One Roof" next week in their place and repeats of its other series in the weeks that follow, leading up to the return of "Roswell" on April 23. The third-year drama desperately needs to make an impression in the closing weeks of the season as its 63.71% average retention rate from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is only slightly above that of "Special Unit 2's" (58.24%) which was axed largely due to its substantial audience loss from "Enterprise."

That works for me... I mean, even though JK screwed S2 down to hell, I still watched and loved. And now, I really think he's tried to save it from the hell hole that it fell into. Ya know? I can't just give up something that has basically ruled my life for 3 years... I just..can't...

As many of you have probably heard there has been an "official" announcement that UPN will not be picking up Roswell for the fall. Even though it is not a bad idea to keep sending letters and cards to UPN, it's time to focus on the sci-fi channel. Send them postcards, emails and post on their boards, plus include them in the Passion Through Compassion Campaign. They have already picked up reruns of Seasons 1-3 that's show them how much we want a Season 4. I have included the email and snail mail address. Let's work together, we know it has worked many times before. And lets' not get negative. Nothing is over till it's over! Forward this to all other groups. Thanks. program-broken-email-www.scifi.comfeedback-broken-email-www.scifi.comWrite to Sci-fi wire about the possibility and maybe they will write an article: scifiwire@scifi.comStephen Chao President, Programming Sci-Fi Channel 1230 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020

Nope it's not wrong to be in denial about the cancellation cuz there's always hope that another freaking network will pick it up like last season!

I'm sorry, but UPN is ridiculous! They go and save the show from being totally cancelled when the WB bailed on it and now they're doing the same thing! Some people have no clue! I hope the people at Sci-Fi are smarter than the UPN! God willing!
