Don't you just hate it when you start to really get involved with a TV show and then...Bam...canceled!

Can a fan campaign really work? It's been known to happen once in a while. Back in 2007, when CBS presented their fall slate during the May Upfront presentations, they announced that Jericho had been canceled. The fans weren't about to let their favorite show go quietly into the night, so they devised a grassroots campaign and flooded the LA and NY CBS offices with 20 tons of nuts. It worked and CBS renewed the series!

However, fan campaigns won't always save a series. The best thing you can do is make sure all your friends and family are watching and if you have Tivo, be sure to record it each and every week. Nielsen now uses Tivo data in reporting to the networks, so every episode counts.
