Save Veronica Mars! Update!

Friday, June 8, 2007
Due to the amazing power of the Internet and the obsessive power of television fans, the show Jericho was saved after online petitions garnered over 100,000 signatures and fans sent in 20 tons worth of nuts (this is in response to a quote from the show's finale in which a character said "Nuts!" when asked to surrender, implying the opposing force could go to hell, as was said originally in the Battle of Bastogne in WWII by Brigadier General McCaulife of the Allied Forces). No less, Jericho was picked up for seven more episodes midseason. Not a lot by any means, but enough to possibly garner it future survival and far better than full out cancellation.

With that said, Veronica Mars fans have redoubled their efforts due to the hope taken from happened with the other show. Once again, I am encouraging anyone and everyone that may or may not watch the show to sign a petition again (got a fresh one today!) and if you are a fan of the show (yes, I am looking at you Sheri) send in some Mars Bars. Yes, sounds weird, but hey, it worked for Jericho. Here is a link to the petition, a link to an article about the fans efforts, a link to a store that sells Mars Bars on the cheap (if you use the promotional code Veronica that is, we're everywhere!), and a link to that stores' blog right here on Blogspot. Get on it people! Sign the petition! Save Ronnie Mars!

Also, apparently the best way to get anything done is to actually write the CW, as there is some sort of mathematical equation networks use that says "1 letter equals 100 viewers," or so I read. So for those that are feeling extra saucy, here is the address to write into. Be nice as well, because the lady you are writing to is supposedly a huge fan of the show as well.

I signed the petition. Despite the fact that I don't even watch the show. Anyway, good luck with it all.

Btw, this is Tyler

This is kind of silly.
I'm interested in knowing why you didn't put the petition up to save Paris Hilton from jail for the second time. Seems like you're all about the damn petitions!
