Unlike us, they can send enveloped letters in to the network and The WB will actually accept it! This is just what the campaign needs so, please participate!! [ 11-26-2003: Message edited ~*Ambrosia*~ ] __________________

Okay, so I have some not-so-positive "news" [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]. Information that I've actually sat on for a few days to wait for confirmation that it was true and also for any positive reports to balance it out. Well, this is what I got...
[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] The Toronto Star News ran a classified ad for a Tarzan set sale on Nov. 21 and 22. Sets have been "struck" (taken down) and some props have been sold. And according to information that RaffertyRulz got from the Tarzan Production office, the Accounting Office is the only department open right now and they're currently in the process of shutting that down. This, is very obviously the bad. Now for the glimmer of hope... The sets being "struck" could very well mean that they have simply been put into storage, which makes sense since even if they do decide to go back into production, the earliest they could do so would be after the holidays sometime in the new year. This could also explain the production office shutting down. I mean, production has stopped so that would make sense that the office is closing. This doesn't mean that it can't be re-opened however and, in fact, calls made in the last few days to The WB have resulted in responses that still claim the official status of the show is that it's on hiatus and that it could be brought back at any time if the decision was made to do so. Oh and as for the props that were sold in the set sale (ie: things from John's childhood room), well they might just have been things that they wouldn't be using again. Apparently set sales are not an uncommon thing even with shows that are still in production and plan to be for some time. Anyway, as the days go on you may find that your hope (and therefore your campaign efforts) are dwindling, but it's important to remember that The WB still has yet to make an official statement saying the show is cancelled. And there has to be a reason for that. Yes, there's the possibility they are just trying to save face BUT, then again, maybe they really are still deciding its fate. Since we can't know for sure, I say that we keep at it! Send in those postcards, bombared their inboxes, clog up the feedback forms, make a call to the Viewer Comment line every now and then, just don't give up!!

I have written a final plea to the WB in my verbose style for saving Tarzan from the scrap heap. I will be sending it out as soon as I can. A holiday weekend isn't exactly the best time to go to the post office, so I've put it off until this week. I had to change my desired font because the letter wouldn't all fit on the post card the way I had it. I have done my best to let my feelings be known. You can be assured that if they are putting reality shows in the timeslot, I won't be watching, unfortunately others will flock to the shlock. Fingers, toes, legs, whatever I can cross, I have crossed. I'm hoping for the best preparing for the worst. I've really enjoyed the last few weeks with my fellow Tarzan fans, and I really hope we have a reason to continue. It's nice to find other passionate fans. If only I hadn't taped over the pilot episode!!!

ETA: There have been recent reports (from unreliable sources however) claiming that The WB will be airing repeats of the show. I wouldn't hold your breath for this but, hey, it's something [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]. And I would offer to make you a copy from my tape but, during the fight between Jane and Creale (sp?) my VCR just up and shut off [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]. However if you wouldn't mind a few missing seconds and a good but not high-quality copy, I could certainly try and get it for you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

The campaign makes news again!!
Quote:
In other news, Wayne Brady plugged Tarzan on his show today. One of his guests was a young girl who had won a yodelling contest and Wayne made a reference to Tarzan (I'm sure most of you know about Tarzan's crazy yodel yell thing from the other incarnations of the ERB hero). Anyway, right after making the connection he turned towards the audience and said "Sundays on The WB". It was pretty cute [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. You can send him your thanks and then request that he have Travis, Sarah and/or the rest of the cast on his show by going to "Request A Quest". ETA: more updates!! Fans are now flocking to the "Holidays on The WB" feedback section and asking (well, begging really) that they air repeats of the show. From what we can tell there are a few empty spots for the Sunday @ 9pm timeslot coming up and of course we want to convince The WB to at least consider Tarzan repeats as an option to fill them.

I'm torturing myself!!
I have other shows on the tapes I used for Tarzan, and I've been watching those shows to catch up with those series. I'll be fine, and then I'll hit a patch of Tarzan, and I'll have to watch. I can't pull myself away from it. I am now convinced I must try to draw a sketch of Travis. I only do this for total obsessions lately, and he qualifies right now. It's not fair to thrust him into my view for 8 weeks and then take him away. At the very least, wean me off slowly, cold turkey will kill me. __________________

[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] As you may have noticed, the Tarzan WB show page now redirects to the WB main site. But don't worry, the pages haven't been deleted! You can still access the episode pages and galleries here.
The campaign continues to make news... From Broadcasting & Cable: Quote:

The answer to that question now is... "seems likely" [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img].
The ever reliable Rafferty Rulz reported earlier tonight that The WB has now informed the producers that the show has been cancelled. The source from Tarzan productions also told Rafferty to please let the fans know that all our efforts to save the show was greatly appreciated. Seeming to back up this report is a quote from Levin that just recently (yesterday I believe) appeared in Entertainment Weekly... Quote:
Well guys, not to state the obvious but, it's looking pretty bleak. I don't want to say that hope is completely gone however because it's still just one report. If this truly is The WB's final decsion then we should be given more substantial verification in the coming days. Now, here's the thing though, whether that happens or not the campaign will still go on. Efforts will simply be re-directed towards UPN and other stations, encouraging them to pick-up the show. From what I understand, UPN is the best bet and is where the majority of the efforts are and should be directed but I will look into what other possibilities are being considered as soon as I can tomorrow. For now, here's the UPN contact information... United Paramount Network 11800 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90025 Dawn Ostroff - President, UPN Entertainment Laurie Zaks - SVP, Current Programs Maggie Murphy - SVP, Drama Development Phone: 310-575-7000 Fax: 310-575-7220 E-mail: feedback@upn.com ____________________________________________ I just wanted to finish by saying "hang in there, guys!" One way or another it looks like we will be getting answers soon. I know some of us invested a lot of ourselves in this show/campaign and it's important to know that it was NOT in vain. Our efforts were not only noticed but greatly appreciated by the cast, crew and yes, even The WB. Above all I really hope that everyone is enjoying the holidays and won't let this news get them get down for too long. Remember that old saying, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"? Well, I think that it's quite appropriate at this time. Whatever the outcome, we still had eight memorable episodes and that, well, that can't be taken away from us [img]smilies/glow.gif[/img].
