Save Our Show Campaign: "Life on Mars"
Boys wondering about life after death of "Life on Mars" (ABC)
Did you know that ABC is about to get a full save-our-show treatment from diehard fans of the recently canceled "Life on Mars?" You do now...
This campaign sounds like a fairly low-key one - truckloads of Mars Bars, in other words, will not be delivered to Steve McPherson. But these fans do sound serious... (I'm a little surprised: Certainly much to be admired about "LoM," but it did turn awfully awfully silly, and that end - dreaming of being a cop in "French Connection"-era New York? While en-route to Mars? While in a deep freeze? Where does this show go from here?)
Here's what the group says:
"Our goal at this point is to solicit ABC to rerun Life on Mars over the summer in an effort to increase the fan base with the end result being a renewal of this phenomenal program. To date, our efforts have included appealing to ABC in a congenial and collaborative manner. We are not attacking ABC for canceling the show; rather, we are conveying a professional attitude. ABC is a leader in the introduction of original and innovative programming, and as consumers of their programs, we are endeavoring to work with them from an audience perspective to ensure quality programming, like Life on Mars, has a chance to succeed. Pairing Life on Mars with a similar show like October Road over the summer is one way in which we could draw new viewers."
