Those days were great, weren't they? Project Tree Trash still cracks me up. And, heh, I had Saturdays.

It could be "VeronicaMarsUnited.com" or something like that (we don't actually need to "save" the show per se, at least for this first season, and a more positive domain name would work better is why I am not suggestingr "saveveronicamars" as a site name).

That's a fantastic idea. It's really the best way to get the ball rolling. It's kind of how like everyone knew to go to Crashdown back in the Roswell days. (Funny how I tend to make comparisons to that show.)

*Lizzie*, the postcards are also a good idea. I think anything hand-written being sent is good. Perhaps the postcard can be decorated in the front with the fake money.

Regarding a website, now we just need to find someone with the time and money to make and run it.

RE: Campaign Website...

Everyone needs to start contacting people they know on the net and who like VM and tell them that this is going to be a reality and we/you need their technical help (domain registration; HTML coding; etc.) -- I don't see any other way of gaining the momentum and synergy unless an official campaign site is created and ASAP.

There are a few big sites like Netptunehigh and others and even TVWoP where Rob Thomas and others post...

But we need a separate site that everyone who wants to save VM can go to just like Wonderfalls had. That everyone includes fans, producers of VM and TBP at UPN if they are so inclined. It's a visible presence and that speaks volumes more than a few posts on a varied message boards scattered all over the net which is why it is so important to get this site off the ground ASAP.

Worse case scenario: We get one season and we can at least get that season on DVD with a lot of extras.

I'm willing to settle for this in leiu of season 2 because I think it is a more realistic goal given VM's recent terrible numbers (thanks to those idiot Neilsens who are still clinging to Reality TV crap...).

***Lizzie*** · 02-09-2005, 04:08 PM

I could actually help code and make the website. I just don't have the funds for hosting/domain registration. All of my sites are on free servers or are hosted by others.

I wouldn't mind helping out with the HTML and coding. I'm such a web geek; I already spend half my time doing that kind of stuff.

At the very least, if no one is able to donate any space and/or host the site, perhaps we should think about pooling/donating money together to purchase and register a domain. (I'm all about the grass roots efforts.) I think give or take, eighty dollars is sufficient enough to buy a hosting account, which I know seems like a lot, but when you think about it, that's eight people donating ten dollars or sixteen people donating five. A group of even twenty people donating various sums could probably get this done - and we know that the VM fandom definitely is larger than twenty people.

conspiracy101, welcome! Don't think we're ignoring you, but as of right now, the VM board doesn't move quite that fast.

conspiracy101 · 02-10-2005, 01:47 PM

so how are ya`ll doin`? i just want to know how you donate money here. i have no credit card or checks-i`m only 14. but i am willing to pay 5 bucks. how do i send-but i also want to know if all of ya`ll would spend as well.

and all i need help with right now is to make some friends.

p.s. this does not make me a hippie. its just the only smily that goes with what i say.

***Lizzie*** · 02-10-2005, 08:54 PM

I hope we hear something definite soon regarding the future of VM. This not knowing of whether we'll have another season is killing me.

conspiracy101 · 02-11-2005, 02:24 PM

can anyone tell me what happened the last episode? did it say anything about who killed lily? and another thing-this forum has WAY too many rules.

***Lizzie*** · 02-11-2005, 02:59 PM

The rules are to keep everything organized here.

You can read recaps of all the eps at televisionwithoutpity.com

And we won't find out who killed Lilly until the end of the season, so there's no point in even asking that question. All we have is spec at the moment.

Inspired by Veronica's clever ploy of writing "Veronica Mars is smarter than me" on the bills in Clash of the Tritons, a few fans at Televisions Without Pity thought it would be fun to design a Veronica Mars themed two dollar bill to ask for a second season. So far there are two bill designs, here and here. Just write "Veronica Mars is smarter than me" on the bills and send them to UPN. You might also include your gender, general age range, and location to show UPN that Veronica Mars has a very diverse fan base. Here's the addresses for the top UPN executives and the UPN affiliates.

The reason we are starting this "renew our show" campaign now, instead of waiting until after the show is canceled to start a "save our show/move Veronica Mars to another network" campaign is because it is so much easier to persuade someone to do something that they want to do, than it is to convince someone to reverse a decision that they have already made. Dawn Ostroff (UPN's president) has been very supportive of the show so I think it's safe to say she would love to renew the show.

For those of you who don't keep up with the ratings, Veronica Mars has finished dead last in it's timeslot almost every single week since it premiered. If it wasn't for the huge amount of critical acclaim, the show would have been canceled months ago. While Dawn Ostroff has shown tremendous patience, faith, and support for the show, there has been no word yet on whether or not this ratings challenged show will be picked up for a second season. If you want the show to return next season, follow Kristen Bell's advice: "Our audience is climbing, people are telling their friends, so, please, guys, keep telling your friends!"

Edited to add- A publicist who works for Warner Brothers (the studio that produces VM) recently contacted me and she said she loves this fake money campaign. She said we should send the bills to Dawn Ostroff (head of UPN) and Leslie Moonves (head of CBS and Ms. Ostroff's boss).

UnsilentMajorty · 02-12-2005, 08:13 AM

I think a variation on the "Veronica Mars is Smarter Than Me" should also be considered.

"Veronica Mars is Smart TV"

"Veronica Mars is smarter than Network TV"

Something like that.

The producers and UPN will "get it". It is pointless to put "VM is Smarter than Me" on a fake dollar bill when obviously they (UPN and Producers) will get the hint that it is from "Clash of the Tritons". The point is you want to show them that you, as a fan, appreciate VM as a show and giving them a compliment like this on these fake dollar bills will appeal to Dawn Ostroff and UPN's vanity which is key in this business.

I also agree that one should put their age, gender and location as a way to give whomever reads these more demographic information that goes BEYOND the Nielsen ratings.

I would not give out your name or address as that is a security risk.

I think age, gender, race (if inclined), State and or Country/Province would be sufficient.

Hi, Welcome to FanFourm. I hope that you join everyone here in discussion about Veronica Mars or any other subject your a fan of.

It's against the rules to link to other message boards. Also, we have a Season 2 thread here. I think the information may be better suited to go there

backup10 · 02-12-2005, 10:04 AM

Thanks for the suggestions UnsilentMajorty. Would it be okay if I post your slogans on other sites?

Subject thanks for the information about the link ban. Each site has different rules, so I sometimes forget the do and don't of each forum. Should I delete the original post, or is it okay to leave it there? I'm not sure if your post is a friendly suggestion, or a midly worded warning. Either way is fine with me.
