Interesting. I've never seen that sight before. Most of the shows are shows I have never seen, some I have never even heard of before. Some I was surprised to see listed as needing saving.

You know, I was really shocked that Smallville was on the list.. you'd thought? I was even more surprised when I voted for Roswell to be saved with a few changes and then I saw the results, most people voted to save Roswell the way it is!
Did I miss something?:lol

Roswell (UPN)
This WB castoff has certainly had its ups and downs, but the show is still worth saving. It just needs a new time slot away from Smallville's ratings of steel.

Code Red: UPN recently trimmed Roswell's episode order from 22 to 19, and a source close the show tells me that UPN is searching for a replacement series for the fall, to follow Buffy.

Operation Tabasco: I don't have to tell you seasoned Roswell fans what to do--you know the drill. And hopefully, you can get fired up one more time.

From the Crashdown~

Mike Duffy is one of Detroit's leading newspaper columnists. His column on January 21st is about Save That Show .com. He mentions Roswell. The following is an excerpt from his column:

"A CLICK A DAY COULD KEEP CANCELLATION AWAY"

Though the site focuses on new shows primarily, Burrell (the owner of the site) has added such highly endangered older series as "Once and Again", "The Mole", and "Roswell", each of which has an intense, impassioned fan base despite low ratings.

In balloting on "Roswell", for instance, more than 6,000 (now 8500) votes have been cast in favor of saving UPN's clever teen space alien drama.

"I didn't know just how many people had a passion for certain shows like "Roswell" or "The Tick", says Burrell. "People really love their TV shows. And I didn't realize how many people feel the Nielsen ratings are outdated and inaccurate."

i think Roswell needs to do something to get newbies to the show: like BTVS did with the musical only not so corny

Passion Through Compassion Campaign
March 21, 2002 Posted by Campaign Crew

We ask you to come together to support our extended Roswell family in a time of need. As most of you know, the fate of the show is unclear, and there may not be a season 4. We thought about what to do to make our passion as fans known, and to encourage those who can to give us one more year. We have sent Tabasco at least 3 times (twice to WB, and once to UPN for a total of over 24,000 bottles) and participated in Variety ads, and other things to get the word out that we cared about the show - that while maybe not great in number, we were passionate.
Just as we were gearing up for the next big, and maybe final campaign, we all learned about a horrible situation that is affecting the family of one of the people that has worked to bring us Roswell - truly a member of the Roswell extended family. Zeke Lerner, the 20-month-old son of writer/producer Garrett Lerner is suffering from a debilitating and often fatal disorder known as Spinal Muscular Atrophy. You can read more about Zeke and what SMA is at this link:

SMA Information

The Crashdown Campaign Crew has decided to get behind something different this year to show our passion as Roswell fans. If we send Tabasco, or buy ads, that will be money that is basically wasted. It will show our passion but not our compassion. In the end, it won't help anyone. We are asking you therefore to join us in a new campaign, what we hope will be our most ambitious yet. It is our passion that sells the show to the advertisers, and our compassion that the networks should be monitoring, rather than our numbers. We want to show them our compassion like never before. We also want them to recognize it like they haven't before. Even if you are participating in lots of other campaigns, please take a few minutes to consider helping us with this one. It really comes down to the number of people who get behind a single campaign to make a difference.

Here are the details...

We challenge every Roswell fan to make a contribution to FSMA. As most of you know, this is the organization that raises money to find a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. We encourage every fan to donate at least $1. Here's what you can do to help:

1) Fans can mail checks and small cash donations (along with a note that this if for the Roswell campaign) to:

Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
PO Box 196
Libertyville, IL 60048-0196

Credit card donations can be made online at:
Credit Card Donations
Please be sure to write "Roswell Campaign" in the designation box.

Credit card donations can also be faxed using directions here:
Fax Directions

2) Please send postcards to the targets listed below. If possible, please try to find postcards from where you live to send. We would like to show them the diversity of our geography. If that is too hard, send whatever kind of card or letter you can. On the postcard, please state that you have made a donation to FSMA and request that the recipient make a matching donation to the organization and/or help get the word out about this charity. Don't forget to mention Roswell.

Sample note:

"I am a Roswell fan. I could have sent Tabasco but instead I'm sending $____ to Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy to show my compassion as a Roswell fan. Please do what you can to help with this campaign(match my donation if you can), promote it through your media connections, and help me make the compassion of the Roswell fans known to those deciding the show's fate. Even if you don't hear me, one day a child will. I only hope that you listen."

3) Please show your support by signing our online campaign registry:
Online Campaign Registry so we can keep track of how many people are standing with us.

4) We will also be asking Snapple and Tabasco to help us in this campaign - of course we are just asking them now, and it's not a sure thing that they will listen. Those two companies have benefited greatly by our passion as fans, and we are asking them to return that same level of passion towards us now in helping us with this campaign. The campaign crew will be sending letters to the following people asking for their support. The press releases about the things we do are few and far between. They could help us with that if they choose not to turn a deaf ear.(Which may not be the wisest thing to do to a passionate Roswell fan). If you want to send letters directly to them now, do so at:

Paul McIlhenny
President
McIlhenny Co.
1 Main Rd.
Avery Island, LA 70513

Jack Belsito
CEO
Snapple Beverage Group, Inc.
709 Westchester Ave.
White Plains, NY 10604

We will also be targeting media outlets, including the Oprah Winfrey show, various newspapers and so on. Right now, the most important thing is to get as many fans as possible to participate to make this newsworthy. Please help us by taking a few minutes to complete the steps above. Make your passion known through your compassion.

Quote:

" A Roswellians Last Plea"

"Your not an, an Alien, are you?"
" It was you."
" Knowing you has made me, human."
" I did that to calm you down."
" Not if you were the last alien on Earth."
" MUD."

Do you recall each of these phrases? If you are a Roswellian than
most likely you do. They are quotes from Season one. A season that
hooked each and every one of us. A season that took us far off to
Roswell, NM, and introduced us to three aliens and three humans,
who's lives soon intertwined. Amazingly we all became intertwined as
wellafter only a few episodes. We each found ourselves wanting more
and counting the days until the next episode.

Then devastation... The WB network was not as interested in
Roswell as we are. What do we do? We set out a full fledged assault
on the WB and come out victorious.

"They're among you now."
" Don't you know what you are to me, what you are always going to be,
You're the love of my life."
" Will you dance with me? I want to have my wedding dance."
" If you kill me you kill our son."

Then the day came... Season 2. I, as well as many other fans were
ecstatic. Each of us sat anxiously in front of our sets. Then by mid
season many of us were wondering what Roswell are we watching? Did we
somehow get sucked into a different alien abyss? Needless to say
Season 2 was not what most fans expected. It had it great memorable
moments, but sadly fell short of many expectations.

Then tragedy strikes again! The WB cancels Roswell. What do we do? We
rally together again. Once again we are victorious! UPN picks up
Roswell. Melinda Metz is on board now. Expectations are high again
for those fans who stuck around after Season 2.

Then there is Season 3 which is still in Progress. I have heard great
reviews and absolutely loved most of the episodes. Of course some
folks are still not pleased and some folks are bitter.

Now we are at the threshold again... UPN is wiping it's hands clean
of Roswell. What are we doing about it? To be real honest, not a
great deal, not to belittle the current efforts by any means. When I
say WE are not doing a whole lot about it, it is because WE are not
in the droves that we once were. Many of those "WE" refuse to vote
in
polls, write to any network and or sponsors any longer. They refuse
to give Roswell another chance. "WE" Refuse to Rally again. What they
do continue to do is post here on the boards and other fan areas.

This I cannot understand... Why not give Roswell another chance? If
you are interested enough to post daily (whether it is good or bad)
then truly what could it hurt? 10-15 min a day to write a snail mail
letter, email, vote on a poll, encourage a friend to come back and
fight for Roswell one last time.

If you want to write ANYONE, anyone associated with Roswell, Do it.
Sci-Fi, UPN, FOX, Sponsors, Futon Critic, Writers, production
company,Savethatshow.com or Savemyshow.com. Tell them you have been
unhappy with the past seasons. Tell them you want more continuity,
tell them anything you want, be honest, (not rude and cruel) tell
them anything you want but tell them you want to keep ROSWELL.

Honestly, what is the worst that could happen? Katims and Co. could
keep the show the same and show they have learned nothing from 3
seasons.

But think... what if they have? What if by some chance they have
figured out what the fans want and could give it to us? They did
once, why not take that chance? What can it hurt? I would personally
rather take the chance than not know.

If you are or ever have been a Roswellian Please, this is the final
stand. The enemy is circling and are troops have been depleted. We
need reinforcements. Come back, fight one last time. Enlist any
friends and family you can. Participate in any way possible on
Fan Forum and other sites. Write and vote anyone you can.

Thank you

Strangely, these were the ones that got to me the most...
"I did that to calm you down."
"Not if you were the last alien on Earth."
"MUD."
Ya know? Cause they aren't always mentioned or remembered. *Sigh* I miss the good old days...
