"SAVE TARZAN" CAMPAIGN
As feared, Tarzan is in danger of cancellation [img]smilies/cry.gif[/img]. But, don't worry, it isn't over until it's over people! As far as I know, nothing has been officially decided yet and there are several ways we can help keep it from getting the axe.
The first thing to do is to let The WB know that you want Tarzan to continue by sending an e-mail to faces@thewb.com and/or filling out the feedback form on the website. The next step is to SPREAD THE WORD!!! If your havn't already, tell your friends (offline and on), your family, your co-workers, heck, even absolute strangers to tune in. Lend them a tape of an episode if you have one. Advertise the show on your livejournals, blogs, websites, etc. Even dedicating your signiture here at F4F to the show for awhile could help. Let people know when it's on and/or even provide a link back here to the board, to the Tarzan section of The WB, or to Wild Innocene. Every little bit counts people! These things will only take a few minutes of your time and yet it can make a HUGE difference! The bottom line is that if you enjoy the show and don't want it to end then do what you can to keep it around! Don't put this off either, act NOW!!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news BUT according to Mediaweek Tarzan has been cancelled.
linkage-> http://www.mediaweek.com/mediaweek/h...ent_id=2019316 BUT The Futon Critic offerred some hope. linkage-> http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/go...wswire&id=6239 Because of the confusion, I called the production office of Tarzan. Here's the reply I received from the production office of Tarzan: Quote:

In the meantime. If I may make a suggestion. Let's send postcards to TheWB. BUT because of cost and time constraints, 3 weeks, instead of postcards, lets buy index cards that are the same size as postcards, you can buy them like 100 to a pack, and overlay/paste the following image: with the following: It's a JUNGLE out here. We need TARZAN!!! then mail to: John Litvack - EVP, Current Programming and Primetime Scheduling The WB Television Network 4000 Warner Blvd., Bldg. 34R Burbank, CA 91522 However, AND I can't stress this enough, we need to get the ratings up! So call your friends. Family. Neighbors. Anyone with a Nielson box. *snort* I should also add that the decision may have been made AND this effort may be pointless. However, I rather spend a few bucks and a couple of minutes of my time on the chance that TPTB may get a CLUE! ETA: Additional contact info: faces@thewb.com = Email to TheWB Phone: 818-977-5000 Fax: 818-977-6771 = The WB Television Network linkage to leave feedback on what is the coolest new WB show-> http://www.thewb.com/Shows/WithFeedb...121766,00.html |

As some of you may have heard, it was reported earlier today that Tarzan had in fact been cancelled. This is NOT true. There is still reason to hope, and, instead of becoming discouraged, this is the time to rally together and intensify, (well, actually, to first begin) the campaign to save the show! As IceKat055 put it...
[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] "WE NEED TO MAKE ALOT OF NOISE IN A HURRY!" [img]smilies/star.gif[/img] This can be done in the ways mentioned earlier, as well as the following... Though e-mail is a wonderful thing, sending a letter to The WB via regular mail is also something that we can do. Putting forth that extra little bit of effort will no doubt be appreciated by the network and, hey, that can't be bad a thing [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. Warner Bros. 4000 Warner Blvd. Burbank, CA 91522 *** Laura Ziskin Productions 10202 W. Washington Blvd. Astaire Bldg. Suite 1310 Culver City, CA 90232 *** Warner Brothers Canada 4576 Yonge Street Toronto, ON M2N 6P1 Canada *** Tarzan 629 Eastern Ave. Bldg E Toronto, ON M4M 14E Canada Another option is to call The WB: (818)-977-5000 / (818)-977-6878 (Thanks to IceKat055 for this phone number information!) If you are planning on contacting The WB in any (or all [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) of these ways, it's important that you be civil and, yes, even polite. Making threats, name-calling, etc. is no way to let them no that you really care about the show. Responses like that would likely just be ignored and that defeats the purpose. So, before writing/calling, take a moment to think about what you enjoy about the show and why you really don't want it to be cancelled. Then, try and express that in as an intelligent and calm manner as possible. (Yeah, it may be hard but, try to vent some of your frustration before hand by screaming at the top of your lungs or something [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ..lol..) Anyway, I'm looking into what other Tarzan forums and sites are doing for campaigns, petitions, etc. and will keep you all updated with that info as I discover it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. In the meantime, if YOU have any ideas about what we can do... please share!! __________________

Hee! That's great guys! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I was just at The WB feedback page again and it is packed with peoples pleas for the show. I'd say there is a definite chance that we will at least get the full thirteen episode season that was originally scheduled. And, you know? As long as it gave the story a nice, complete story feel, as long as there was closure, I'd really be happy with that [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

I am gonna be so upset if they cancel Tarzan. At least give the fans a chance to catch on to the show they haven't had a chance...Networks never give shows a true chance. *grumbles*

A few more things to do:
The "official" WB Tarzan board needs hits/posts (the WB may track this info): http://talk.thewb.com/viewforum.php?forum=52&401 We all know Mrs. Sharon Osbourne LOVES Travis, go email/ask her to help us fight! http://sharon.warnerbros.com/showinf...ail/index.html And vote to keep Tarzan on the air...probably a pointless poll, but YOU NEVER KNOW!!

Thanks so much IceKat055! [img]smilies/kiss.gif[/img]
* * * * * Even more ways to save the show... [img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Send The WB's Tarzan E-cards back to them! This not only gets the point across in a nicely ironic way but, it could possibly even crash the server which would definitely get their attention. (This comes from Catseye over at the tarzantheseries.com board) [img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Write to the NEWSPAPERS telling them about the possible cancellation and the campaign that's springing up because of it. They may end up putting something in the opinion section of the paper or, heck, even do a piece on it. This would be a great way to spread the word about the show to a large number of people.

Darn WB, Fearless will probably take the place of Tarzan. Darn that Rachael Leigh Cook. [img]smilies/skull.gif[/img]
