Reposted from the BTR discussion thread: Have just started a new thread, entitled "A Final Appeal to Fans of TSCC," to SAVE our Show, on the wiki.fox TSCC Web-site. terminatorwiki.fox.com/thread/2772986/A+Final+Appeal+to+Fans+of+TSCCIt's about the idea of TSCC on-line Pay-Per-View (PPV) -- esp to incorporate and "count" our very large audience of international viewers -- and how this idea might really give FOX/WB/Halcyon the strong economic incentives they need to continue our Show -- for a *long* time. [The "intro statement" on this new thread is kinda long (what's new {G}). Apologies.] Might be important, though. Would *greatly* appreciate any "publicity" you could give us on this -- and also, certainly welcome your input/feedback on the idea/concept. Keep up the great work! SAVE TSCC! We *will* prevail!! Kindest Regards, Robby

I wonder if HBO would consider pairing TSCC with their vampire show (True Blood) that did great last Fall? HBO would give TSCC more creative freedom. No more FCC and network censorship.
HBO has created some great series. I think it's offered overseas too. Isn't it? I'd prefer HBO over PPV anyday.

Tks for reply, ace.. HBO sounds good. Yet, we already have our "bird in the hand" -- FOX, et al. The PPV thing would fit right in with them -- no changes needed. Did you look over the wiki.fox post on all this (admittedly a long read)? terminatorwiki.fox.com/thread/2772986/A+Final+Appeal+to+Fans+of+TSCCEsp this part, about how FOX already has a PPV web-site "under construction." www.foxppv.com/Kind Regards, Robby I wonder if HBO would consider pairing TSCC with their vampire show (True Blood) that did great last Fall?

I don't know how true this is, but I saw it on the zap2it site in the comments for the Bubble shows poll vote and it made me giggle... "Hey, I got an email from a fellow fan late last night. Apparently, starting 5/1 TSCC fans are going to start mailing Fox the chips out of their old cells, remotes, or other misc electrical devices to Kevin Reilly's attention with a note asking, "is this what John is looking for?" If you can't do that print out a copy of a microchip and mail it in with the same note. I'm already trying to remember where my old phones are... So, will you join your fellow fans? Spread the word please. Fox ATTN: Kevin Reilly 10201 W Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90064 Ph: 310-369-1000 Fx: 310-369-1283 We could probaly fax the print out in too... " Makes a change from pancakes...

Ugh, I wish people would get over mailing stuff to networks.
I work in a glorified mailroom and let me tell you, the people who send us 48,000 photos or 3 pounds of news clipping to illustrate their point get ABSOLUTELY NO MORE ATTENTION from us than the people who send us an e-mail. In fact, if you want to get on our bad side, send us a bunch of useless crap that we have to find a way to store, digitize or otherwise take time and energy to handle.
And since we want FOX to do something for us, antagonizing the people who decide whether your letter gets forwarded to the broadcasting department or filed with the marketing office is a really bad idea.
Just write letters or e-mail. Seriously.

I just saw this about 20 minutes ago and almost jumped out of my office chair! ;D That is great news, and I'm sure FOX will get wind of this. Also great to see that they went right to Josh Friedman for an Interview. Here's hoping for Season 3. We still have plenty of time for Emails and Letters as well.

53% of 300,000 votes is nothing to sneeze at - add that on top of the 22,000 who voted and won in the Zap2it poll - TSCC fans are rabid online for voting. We just have to get those emails in

Ugh, I wish people would get over mailing stuff to networks. Yeah, well, I guess their hearts are in the right place... Much as I try to avoid the blog episode discussions, the regs on there have made a sterling effort with the poll voting the last few days and consequently TSCC has blown every other show out the water. The TSCC geek army is certainly mobilised... FWIW I sent a polite email today - no chips attached

i09 is making an effort to save Sarah Connor. Click HERE to join their efforts. "We've started a Flickr group called "Sarah Connor Made Me Do It." Post pictures of yourself with products that sponsored Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles there, and we'll make sure the folks at Fox and Warner Bros. see it. (A semi-complete list of products that sponsored the show is here.) Bonus points if you manage to look like a Terminator or a future Resistance fighter holding a Mountain Dew bottle or Dove Bar."

AYK, lots and lots of "multiple voting" -- on *all* the polls. Not sure it reflects how many of "us" are really out there, in cyber-land. Yet, a win is a win. And, glad to have it. Also, agree on getting those emails, etc, in -- esp on how we could conceivably support $PPV for TSCC. That could ring some $-bells in the head's of TPTB. [Again, an immodest plug for my proposal link:] terminatorwiki.fox.com/thread/2772986/A+Final+Appeal+to+Fans+of+TSCCThe main point is we have to let those Producers know NOW, that we fans support such a concept, and that they (FOX, et al) do have some kind of a "base" audience for this (domestic *and* internationally) -- that's all we really need to do at the present time. Give 'em something to "think" about, so they keep the Show going. They can work out the details -- even later (Season 4, 5, etc).
