To Slice of SciFi and all its fans,
I am writing with some unfortunate, if expected news…wanted to let you know. The campaign got word that neither Fox nor NBC will be picking up Journeyman. And there’s no chance for it to go to another network. Kevin Falls [creator & exec. prod] has been signed by another company. No word on the DVD. The news has just gone up on the savejourneyman.net blog. It’s here if you’d like to see it.
I want to thank you for your work and the publicity you gave the campaign. Your efforts definitely boosted the campaign. Most television campaigns are a long shot and we knew that going in. All in all, though, I think it was still worth it to let the networks know that viewers want to have a say in what they see. And that what we’re seeing right now, is not what we like. I’m sure Falls will go on to do great work and he deserves all the success, he’s a real talent.
I’m happy to have stumbled onto your site in one of my “Journeyman” searches. I now check it regularly and am always impressed by the quality of content and the great entertainment. Feel free to email me.
Take Care,
Bali

sad to see another one go though I’ll admit I won’t be missing the ridiculously large banner that I was getting tired of scrolling past all the time
Damn shame.
The networks need to realise that even if a show like this isn’t getting good ratings, they could put a DVD out and we’d buy four copies a piece. That’s how these kinds of shows make their money back.
Or they could start plopping it on mininova with embedded ads a week early and see the numbers go up substantially.
I’ve got this show in my BT queue right now because I don’t know if Universal/NBC will even be releasing this show on DVD any time soon.
Matthew, it’s already on mininova.
Screw the embedded ads, though.
