Push Those Daisies…
While the future of PUSHING DAISIES looks bleak, the show has not yet been canceled. The fight is not yet over. It’s beyond important for you to tune in tonight. It’s even more important that you get a few newbies to check in too. With all 13 episodes filmed and no more ordered it’s pretty easy for ABC to pull the official plug. The only way they are not going to do that is if they see an uptick in viewers. It’s that simple.
As we’ve asked you to do all season, PLEASE take some time out of your day to encourage others to tune in tonight at 8pm on ABC for an all new episode of PUSHING DAISIES.
So what else can we, the fans, do to show our support and convince the powers that be at ABC to keep Daisies on the air?
- SIGN UP: Sign the Save Daises online petition.
- TUNE IN: Tonight, watch the show. Live. In your house. Look for the glowing box that receives pictures via bunny ears, a satellite or a coaxial cable coming out of the wall. (Everything else on TV at that time? Obama, Obama and then more Obama. So there’s no downside for you—you won’t miss any other show—and the upside is that the show’s prospects might perk up!) For that matter, email five of your friends right now and tell them to watch, especially if you happen to know anyone who has one of those magical Nielsen boxes.
- TURN ON: Go to ABC.com and play old episodes. If you have some spare change, download a few from iTunes. If Daisies brings in enough digital dime, that revenue might offset the on-air losses.
- REACH OUT: Contact ABC online or use the quaint ol’ post office to send a letter explaining, in your own passionate but polite words, why and how Daisies is the birdhouse in your soul. The address for ABC is 500 S. Buena Vista St., Burbank, CA 91521-4551.
- PUSH THOSE DAISIES: There are 23,000 species in the daisy family of flowers, including marigolds, coneflowers, sunflowers, chamomile, chrysanthemums, dahlias and zinnias. Send a bunch of your faves to ABC, or better yet, send flower seeds. They’re light and therefore cheap to ship. Seeds last for years and won’t go bad or go to waste, and they could be planted to grow into something beautiful in the spring. Don’t forget to include a note explaining that this is for the love of Daisies!
- SPREAD THE WORD: Go to Facebook, MySpace and any other social media site to spread the word of Daisies. Here’s a few banners you can use. Do what you can. Now is the time.
Hey guys,
I’m really trying my best over here! I’ve sent Daisy seeds (twice), I wrote a Message to ABC but maybe I have to do that again, I signed the Petition and asked all my friends here in Germany to sign as well and tune in (even though the tuning in thing over here doesn’t count in America >.
I contacted ten friends that I have in Ann Arbor and New York and asked them to tune in TONIGHT *take a deep breath* and I also asked them to sign the Save PD Petition.
I think there is nothing more I can do *sigh* What really bugs me is, that I cannot watch the episodes on ABC!!!! Why are only Americans allowed to watch them???
Don’t give up hope, I haven’t!!!!
Break a leg PD, you can make it!!! ^^
