Takara_Soong 4 Posted February 4, 2005 I saw this information posted by Windsong at saveenterprise.com: a crosspost from MJ at ENTProject Please read -- MESSAGE FROM PRODUCTION OFFICE I just got off the phone with Rick Berman's office regarding the cancellation. Rick sends us the following message about keeing ENT in production: Filming ends beginning of March, but sets will be up until end of March for reshoots and such -- so hitting now, and hitting hard, IMMEDIATELY, is the way to go. What the production office would like to see is this: 1) A gangup on UPN. Paramount's floored that UPN's trying to duck calls and they're certain UPN knew the calling was going to happen. 2) Approach Paramount TV on the idea that if UPN doesn't reconsider, the show MUST be shopped out for syndication or cable promptly. 3) Do it NOW. 4) When I mentioned the UPN business and suggested the Viacom calls instead of or as well, let's just say I didn't hear any rebuttal. I know, I know, we all hate UPN at this point, but UPN can afford full production costs for the show. Half-price Trek means the good old days of TOS mis-sliding doors, the boom mike shadows, and all that other stuff we don't want to see in new productions, along with fewer guests and plenty less great Trek SFX. (Maybe fewer sets. Captain, the Klingons have invaded the Mess Hall again... just like the Tellarites did last episode...) The planned events at UPN and Viacom fill the production offices with cheer. Anyone who can make them or knows anyone who can make them, be there or tell your friends to make it over there. But -- be sure to let Paramount TV proper know the money's there from happy fans if the show is ANYWHERE. And SEND those Valentines if you haven't -- give 'em some more love notes.

ddillard 2 Posted February 4, 2005 So this appears to show that from Berman's own lips that there is a chance if we all band together and flood them with petitions, letters and phone calls. I say LET'S DO IT!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIMIMELA 1 Posted February 4, 2005 It's us who want it not them so as fans I think we need to get ourselves heard. Let's protest <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted February 4, 2005 I agree, dill. Tim at saveenterprise.com has set up a way to mass fax 11 executives at Viacom and its subsidiaries. Here's what you do: Send the wording of your fax in the body of an email to: saveenterprise@interpage.net You HAVE to have "Enterprise" in the subject line and nothing else or this will not go through. (minus quotation marks of course) You will get confirmation that it was recieved. Never Give Up! Never surrender! We will have this on the site later today along with some other things.. Like emailing ALL UPN affiliates in one email.. Faxing all UPN affiliates in one email and much more. Stay tuned. Saddle up, Lock and load! Please post here when you send your faxes.. please keep them level headed and explain why you want the show to continue. Please DO NOT be hateful or tacky. We want them to know that we are smart, considerate people. Fax on, I did! Tim I've sent mine already. Interpage converts the email into fax format and automatically forwards it to the individuals programed by Tim. It's fast and easy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HRH The KING 0 Posted February 5, 2005 If they all watched ENT, then sending those faxes is understandable. If they didn't, and you've just asked them to send faxes for the sake of numbers, then it's pointless, because they never watched the show, and even "if" by some unlikely chance ENT came back, they still wouldn't be watching the show and it's ratings will still be abysmal.
