Strange things are afoot at the Circle K
March 19, 2007 · Print This Article
So much excitement ’round these here parts, y’all! You’ll never guess what is going on behind the scenes here at DWM. NEVER.
Okay, that’s what you call a teaser. Stay tuned.
In other news, I have been raked over the coals for promising to recap American Idol and TOTALLY reneging. I COULD tell you that TGIM went batshist crazy and erased all the AI’s I had saved on my TiFaux (which is true) and then someone who must absolutely hate me somehow screwed up the record settings on my TiFaux, apparently so he/she wouldn’t miss that terribly vital Naked Brothers’ Band special (also true), but at the end of the day these are just excuses. Lame excuses. I let you down, AI fans! I let you down, America! Oh, the SHAME.
I’m going to try and make it up to you, guys. I promise. As far as I can tell, the contestants are lackluster at best, but I will persevere! Especially since Beatbox Boy is kinda hawt. And I love him. And, false modesty aside (please, girlfriend), who doesn’t like Eliza Doolittle? She’s a classic. But Lakeshaniquafreaka needs to drop the attitude. I’m just saying. Listen here, Lakeshifreakaniqua, Simon will CUT YOU. Don’t think he won’t. He’s sick of this crap.
So the TiFaux is programmed and at the ready! Bring it on, “you’re just being you and you’re so beautiful and you touched me in my special secret soul” Paula Abdul. Bring it on, Randy “shut up about the Dawg Pound already” Jackson. Bring it ON, Simon Cowell and my wee Ryan. But stop with the ho-yay already. Good lord.
I’m on it. Really. I am. I think. Probably.
(Okay, now will you stop calling and chewing me out, Mom?)

UPDATE: What You Can Do
This entry may be frequently updated with new things you can do to help, so keep checking back.
So I’m sure many of you were extremely unhappy when you read the news that Veronica Mars had been cancelled. Now that there’s a chance that it hasn’t been (according to Kristin at E! Online, there will be no official notice of cancellation or renewal until May 17th), here is a compilation of little things you can do to show the network your support of the show.
1. Send polite letters to:
Dawn Ostroff
President of Entertainment, The CW Television Network
4000 Warner Boulevard, Bldg 168
Burbank, CA 91522-0002
(If you are in the 18-34 age group, especially if you are a female, make sure to include this in any communication, including the ideas below)
2. Print out one of these postcards and send it to the address above with a message of support for the show:

3. Call 818-977-6878, and leave a polite message.
4. Leave a comment on Kristin’s column, which she will forward on to the CW. http://www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/blog/index.jsp?uuid=75a31622-f0e6-4166-be21-798de6671716
5. Vote in this poll to save VM. (GG has the ratings but the cast may not WANT to come back, while for VM, we don’t have the ratings, but the cast WANTS to come back.) http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Columnists/Ausiello.aspx
6. Leave a comment on the TV Guide blog section. http://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800010961
7. Sign this petition. Once again, do not be rude.

8. Go to cwtv.com and watch one of the VM episodes online. If you are too busy to watch, or even just don’t feel like it, just leave the video running in the background of your screen. Especially watch an episode online when the Pussycat Dolls show is airing in the VM spot, Tuesday nights at 9, to show the CW what we REALLY want to watch!
9. Make your own postcard!
10. E! Online’s Kristin’s Save One Show poll is coming out this Friday! This is where we get to vote for which endangered show we want back next season (VM, duh!), and the winner gets a huge push by Kristin to network execs. It’s made a difference before, so we’ve got to win this! As soon as the poll comes out, I will post a blog here with a link, so come back on Friday, or go to E! Online and vote!
11. The TV show Medium, on NBC, is another show that is struggling with ratings in its third season and is yet to be picked up for a fourth. Lifetime recently made an offer to put it into syndication IF it reaches 100 episodes. The company that produces Medium will get over $1 million an episode if the show goes into syndication. This gives NBC motivation to give the show not only a fourth season, but a fifth season, too, in order to get to 100 episodes, and therefore earn that money.
Maybe this can happen with VM, too! As a new network, $100 million could really sound appealing to the CW. This might make them think twice before cancelling the show. Lifetime is a great fit for our favorite detective because she is a strong, independent female lead. Write to Lifetime and tell them that you think VM would be a great fit for their network and that you would definitely watch if they aired it! Here are the addresses for the Lifetime TV CEO and President of Entertainment:
Betty Cohen
Lifetime Television Network
309 West 49th Street
New York, NY 10019-7316
Susanne Daniels
Lifetime Television Network
309 West 49th Street
New York, NY 10019-7316
NOTE: Write on a postcard, because Lifetime says that is the only mail they read
