I'll email them too.
Cuz I feel they're being stupid trying to put off a show that is doing so well in the ratings til May.

we should do a petion , like sign something ..?

Those online petitions (for the love of g-d, I can't remember the website's name) always get a lot of signatures. I have no idea how influencial they are though. I think we should definately try. At least, then they will know the fannish-nature of their audience.

I think that is a great idea! I've never done anything like this before so I wouldn't know where to begin.. I guess we should start by finding that webpage. Then create a petition..

problems with petitions, especially online petitions:

- Often petitions contain no information about whom they are ultimately intended for and instead are no more than outpourings of outrage.

- Even those that clearly identify the intended recipient don't come with a guarantee that the person slated to receive the document is in any position to influence matters.

- Even well-addressed, well-thought-out petitions have their problems, chief among them the lack of a guarantee that anyone is collecting and collating the signatures or will deliver the completed documents to the right parties.

- Those signatures aren't votes, and they aren't treated as such by the governing bodies that have to decide on the tough questions of our times. At best, they're seen as an indication of the public's will, no more.

- Difficult problems don't suddenly yield up simple solutions just because a great many fervently hope they would.

- E-petitions, however, have one further shortcoming inherent to them that entirely undercut any value the same documents might have had in paper-and-ink form.

Paper-and-ink petitions are signed in a variety of handwriting styles, each unique to its signer. Consequently, signatures on a paper-and-ink petition cannot easily be faked.

E-petitions, however, come with no such assurance — the same person could have generated all of the signatures. Moreover, it takes little by way of programming skills to create a sequence of code that will randomly generate fake names, e-mail addresses, and cities.

I just have a few things to say in response to your post..

"Often petitions contain no information about whom they are ultimately intended for and instead are no more than outpourings of outrage."
-You haven't even seen the petition I've made..and I can tell you that it is not just an outpouring of outrage.

"Even well-addressed, well-thought-out petitions have their problems, chief among them the lack of a guarantee that anyone is collecting and collating the signatures or will deliver the completed documents to the right parties."
-I have always assumed that no matter who collects or collates the signatures.. it is our..or rather..my..responsibility to try to make sure that the petition gets to the right people. And of course, there is always a chance someone could make a mistake.

"Those signatures aren't votes, and they aren't treated as such by the governing bodies that have to decide on the tough questions of our times. At best, they're seen as an indication of the public's will, no more."
-I wouldn't expect them to treat them as "votes"..all I wanted was for the "governing bodies" to know what the public's will is. How else are they going to know unless we tell them?

"Difficult problems don't suddenly yield up simple solutions just because a great many fervently hope they would."
- I am trying not to feel insulted by this statement..

I know that online petitions could never be as powerful as hand written ones..I wouldn't expect them to be..for all the reasons you gave. But I also know that online petitions..email and handwritten letters kept the show ROSWELL on the air two years after the WB wanted to cancel it. And even if keeping PRISON BREAK on over the winter isn't possible or sensible..for whatever reason..no harm could come from letting the producers know how much we love this show. We want a second season and as many episodes as they can churn out..our emails don't have to beg them to continue the show over the winter..they could even just let them know how many supporters PRISON BREAK has..

i didn't write what's in that post. i merely summarized it from the site that i put a link to at the bottom of the post where it says 'source'.
besides, even if it did work, prison break would be put on at a shitty time. it's either wednesdays up against Lost which is ratings suicide, or friday nights aka ratings graveyard. or unless one of FOX's show suddenly do bad and is cancelled but apparently, they're all doing well.

I saw the link to your source.. I was just responding to what you posted.
