The next new episode of “Wonderfalls” airs Friday, March 19th at 9:00pm on Fox. And if there's any way that my plea now will help Friday's numbers tick up just a touch, I think that would be a tremendous sign to them. I know the network wants this show to work. If you can give a hand here, you might be keeping us afloat long enough for us to catch the tide. I know that every one of you is connected to many others that I can't reach. You are the most dedicated, passionate and, frankly, smartest fans around.Īnd I'm turning to you now because I believe you're a huge untapped resource. From “Lois and Clark” to “The X-Files,” from “Angel” to the short-lived but much-loved “Firefly.” Ever since I've been associated with genre television I've had the extreme honor and pleasure (and sometimes hair-pulling madness) of interacting with fans of these shows via the internet. All of the shows I've worked on in the last several years have had loyal internet followings. Fact is, I have no power over network promotion, I can't force Fox to air “Wonderfalls” on Monday nights, I don't have a Nielsen box or know anyone who does.īut I do have this keyboard, my cable-modem and a relationship with genre fans all over the world because of the internet. Maybe the unique charm, heart and volcanic snark aren't coming through.

There are several things stacking the odds against us. We premiered on Friday, March 12th to less than great numbers. The big brains at the network, while happy with the reviews, tell me that good reviews don't bring in an audience. Also, uncomfortable because of the sitting. I'm currently sitting on a stack of raves from all over the country, from major magazines, newspapers, small dailies, internet sites, etc.
