I haven't heard, but when I do hear something I'll pass it along.

And I just posted this earlier on the OR board at ABC.com:

Quote:

Got a tennis racket? What to see "the band back together"? Please send 1 tennis racket to ABC executives Stephen McPherson (President of ABC Primetime and a fellow fan) and/or Anne Sweeney (President of the Disney-ABC Television Group and Stephen's boss) to arrive on the target date of Monday, October 27. Send with it a note along the lines of "We want the band back together".

Stephen McPherson, President
ABC Studios
500 South Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521-4551

Anne Sweeney, President
Disney-ABC Television Group
3800 W. Alameda Ave., Room 504
Burbank, CA 91505-4300

If you don't own one or know someone who does, you can drop by your nearest sporting goods store or a garage sale, take it home with you and beat it up a little - to show the wear and tear due to use and passage of time, though Physical Phil kept it in pretty good shape when he gave it back to Nick ten years later). You'll need to contact your local Post Office with the size and weight of your tennis racket(s).

"Friday Night Lights" fans sent footballs to NBC, "Jericho" fans sent nuts, while "Roswell" fans (life myself) sent bottles of Tabasco sauce to The WB and UPN. This all resulted in their shows being resurrected (along with heavy letter writing, phone calls, and e-mails, though in "Roswell's" case, twice on two separate networks). So find that tennis racket or purchase one, keep advertising, keeping writing (don't forget to put some leaves in the envelopes and if you're also sending postcards, send one of your small town or hometown and find one with an autumn theme), and let's get a third season for "October Road"!

Thank you for sharing! I don't have a racket or money. But if I can find a deal, I will send one in!

Thats a really cute idea!! Thanks for the info!

Sarah...maybe check garage sales or something.

~Unfaithful~ · 10-15-2008, 05:07 PM

I think it's too cold for garage sales now.

Probably depends on where you live.

You can also try a thrift store (which is something that didn't come to me until after I posted it).

I forget the rest of the US doesnt have 90 degree weather right now.

Thrift stores are a good idea! Goodwill!

~Unfaithful~ · 10-16-2008, 06:03 PM

Thanks for the 90 degree weather comments Becca.......... It's cold here. I'm mad at you....ok, not really, I can't be mad at you, but still.....

SoLongSelf · 10-17-2008, 10:33 PM

I'm sorry! I'll send some of my sun your way k?!

~Unfaithful~ · 10-18-2008, 06:24 PM

Thanks!

SoLongSelf · 10-18-2008, 10:35 PM

No prob!

Searched for OR news today......nothing.

~Unfaithful~ · 10-19-2008, 03:47 PM

No, it's about as hard to find as pictures!

SoLongSelf · 10-19-2008, 08:15 PM

Sad....but true.

~Unfaithful~ · 10-20-2008, 04:49 AM

I hate not learning anything.

SoLongSelf · 10-20-2008, 08:24 PM

Me too. All the news I ever find is related to Life On Mars and the OR connection that there is. But thats all.

~Unfaithful~ · 10-21-2008, 05:06 AM

Which doesn't do us any good. Sometimes I just lose hope.
