From OhNoTheydidn't.com. I LOVE this show and will be seriously bummed if it actually goes off the air. One of the only bright spots on TV in my opinion. So, since I am such a fan, I wanted to share this with anyone else that is also a fan......
November 16th has been declared the first of many Worldwide Save Arrested Development Days by fans of the show.
From the campaign site:
On November 16th we will not contact networks (my reason is below) but we will contact the media! David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Howard Stern, Jay Leno, Ellen D, Jon Stewart & the ladies at The View along with TV Guide, EW & Variety. I kept the list down to people who understand our situation, have a large audience and who will most likely be willing to help us, as well as two entertainment magazines that appear to love the show and one that is read by everyone in Hollywood.
Nov 28th is "The Second Worldwide Save Arrested Development Day" in which we contact NBC, ABC, UPN, HBO & Showtime to let them know that this brilliant sitcom is on the market and needs a home. We will also be contacting FOX to tell them they have made a huge mistake & should reconsider & we will also contact Arrested Development's top sponsors letting them know we appreciate their support. The reason we shouldn't contact the networks/sponsors yet is because we can generate buzz by contacting the media first.
If we all work together and mail our letters on Nov 16th & Nov 28th we can accomplish something great and hopefully help save the show. Keep reading for more details about both dates.
PLAN OF ACTION
Nov 16th: contact the media to generate some attention. Let them know we love the show, need help to save it & would appreciate their helped.
-By the time our letters arrive Jason Bateman will begin his talk show visits hitting The View on Nov 22 & Conan on the 24th, and I'm sure this campaign will be mentioned.
-The talk shows we contact will hopefully pimp the show and bring AD more viewers. They will also get the attention of networks.
-Same with the entertainment magazines.
Nov 28th: By this time we will hopefully have some buzz around the show and the networks will surely know that the fans are working to keep it alive.
-We contact FOX and let them know we love the show, they are making a huge mistake & should allow this show to win over an audience, it took Seinfeld 2 full seasons, give AD the same.
-We contact AD's sponsors telling them we appreciate their support, mention which demographic we fall into/if we are a Nielson box owner & ask them to continue supporting AD in the future.
-We contact other networks and let them know this amazing show might be on the market and they should jump at the chance to pick it up.
