Give credit where credit is due. It was Farscape fans that first created this kind of campaign, sending in crackers after an episode called "Crackers Don't Matter." The campaign eventually convinced the Sci-fi Channel to accept a 4 hour mini-series to wrap up the storyline.

Too bad that smart shows like Journeyman get dumped before they get a chance. Shows that turned out to be monster hits like West Wing, Cheers, The Office, 30 Rock, and more had horrible initial ratings, but someone had the foresight to see past that.

Journeyman is a good series but I guess the network are just looking for rating reality shows. Makes you wonder about the mentality that kept Jerry Springer show on for so long.

Also remember to tune in tonight's the last episode. 10 PM!

There are indications that NBC is taking note of the campaign. So keep the efforts up.

I don't think Jericho fans were the first to ever send in food items or other such things to try and save a show. Fan campaigns like this have been going on for years. It's nothing new. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Ultimately, I think the networks will do whatever they want, regardless of the fan outcry.

In addition to the Rice-A-Roni campaign, there is an online petition that has already over 5000 signatures. The deadline for signing it is the 19th:

Also there is talk of planning a download day of episodes from Amazon.

Ok rice a roni,I thought we should send them old cell phones,which they could donate to that charity I saw on tv looking for old,still functional phones for low income groups.At least I'm pretty sure there is such an organization.Journeyman is pretty much the only thing I watch on NBC,and is the most anticipated by me each week.I love this show and can accept that sometimes it doesn't make as much sense as it could.They spend a little more time on charactarization than on the science.
Dan's trips show that one man can make a difference,even if there is no as Ray Bradbury put it,"A Sound OF Thunder"(I think that's the correct title)

Jericho had much higher ratings that journeyman had -- so they can send as much rice a roni as they want -- it won't make a difference. It unfortuanely had the best time slot that NBC has to offer -- after heroes and lost over half the audience.

I was part of the NUTS campaign to CBS to bring back Jericho. There were many aspects to the campaign that brought it back, the nuts was the aspect that stood out in news stories. However, it was a very well designed, executed and elaborate plan with multiple layers. The fans were organized, relentless, but most importantly, POLITE. We articulated ourselves clearly and professionally. Our fanbase is educated, modern and a little older -- but not a bunch of fanatics or geeks. We had accountants, lawyers, doctors, teachers, college students and professors. I think CBS respected out tenacity and that we were NOT GOING AWAY. They thought it would die down, but we kept getting stronger. We were in it for the long haul. Our campaign was about far more than one show. We were fighting for quality tv, and respect for the fans. Now, we fight for the writers of tv and movies. And so we have sent over 200,000 pencils to the networks to tell them that we support the writers.

In the same sort of vein as Journeyman - Does anyone have the scuttlebut on the movie "Jumper"?
