Guys, AOL is eating a *lot* of posts . . . just saw the tech, they didn't
know when things would be fixed.  And I'm going away tomorrow morning until
Monday, waaaah! :-(  Just thought I'd pass that info on re: AOL.  "No

Except that there was no ichor.  The fly was empty.  No drink.

And then you demanded a full report, on your desk, yesterday!
It was a very Cohen thing to do.

And then you got grease from your souvlaki all over the report.

Subject: Local station addresses

For those people who can't find tha addresses of their local tv stations
that carry Forever Knight there is a pretty complete listing of all of
them including phone numbers and faxes, e-mail addresses and web pages
where applicable at:

http://tvnet.com/TV/localtvni.html

you choose the relevant state and then the stations call letters (KCBS,
KABC, etc).
Might make it easier to get more letters out to those local stations. And
sorry if this has already been posted :)

And then I sold the fly to the highest bidder.

It was a very Mercenary thing to do.


And then I posted the fly to the AOL FK boards so that someone would
cross-post it to the FORKNI list for me.

It was a very JP thing to do.

Well, interestingly enough, that German production company is
actually a subsidiary of a US company, Capital Cities, which also
owns ABC.

Maybe we should try to get ABC to buy it and put it just after Lois and
Clark.  Two shows based on relationships together.  (Not that I think we
stand a chance of doing it. )

Greetings

After much debate over this topic here and on the newsgroup I would
like to offer my $0.02 (which I think is less than half a pence here).

Anyways I have a WAV file that contains the Welsh pronunciation of
Geraint. So if you would like that and any other Welsh pronunciations
or whatever then let me know off-list. But you will have to explain to
me in simple terms how to or even if I can send it.

It is guaranteed 100% pure Welsh. I should know its me speaking.

Subject: syndication

I just spoke with someone in Programming at KUSI 51 in San Diego, and
she said she hadn't heard that USA had cancelled FK.  As far as KUSI
is concerned, the show is *not* cancelled and they will continue to air
every episode as they're produced.  So even without USA, we get the
rest of season 3 in San Diego.

Keeping my fingers crossed (and getting those letters and FAXes in the
mail) for a season 4.

I received an answer to my email to USA Today indicating that they will take
a look at Jamie's page.  Keep your fingers crossed.

The web site hot list does change daily, the column is in the Thursday

Again the web page is

On a slightly different note, I was sitting in the Dentist's Office this

I've already sent material (e-mail quiry, hard copy letter of
explanation and all three news releases) to Rosemary, GWD Fan Club
President, she has told me that she'll forward information about
the charity drive to her people. I haven't heard back from Lora,
the Forever Knight Fan Club President, but I've been told that she
is notifying her members of our activities.

I haven't contacted any of the other fan clubs, so if anyone would
like to do so, just let me know so I know who's been contacted.  No
use duplicating effort when there's so much to do.

I'm also posting a flyer in the health club where I teach, have hit
up most of the people I work with and have pledges for a
significant amount.  So, we're definitely moving right along on the
charity end of things.

Subject: Re: Advertising in Electronic Media/NATPE

I just got home; sorry if any of this has already been suggested, and
apologies if it's too late, but I thought of this at work today:

>TriStar Appreciation Day - rent or buy another TS movie!

May I suggest that renting or buying wouldn't have the immediate impact on
TriStar of *going to the theatre* to watch a TS movie? After all, I believe
the company gets a 'cut' of the box office on these movies. If we can cause
even a LITTLE glitch upward in their ticket sales (especially on a slow
weeknight) that would be noticed, yes?  *And* make an immmediate fiscal
impact.  After all, TriStar must have several movies in the theatre at any
given time, and those of us with limited income could go to second-run
theatres, while the more affluent could go to first-run.

>
Telemunchen Appreciation Day ??? (in light of what's happened) (or
combine w/TS?)

We are working on getting an activity in Los Angeles for this week as
well...

[We need other events for the week of Jan 13-Jan 20. we should pick
another day for letter writing; perhaps Sponsor Appreciation Day when
everyone goes out and buys the product of an FK sponsor :-) (Cheap for
us, but effective <g>)]

LOL!!!

I think I'm being haunted by Spam.  Getting ready for work this morning, the
news guy on the radio started talking about Spam.  Normally, I wouldn't even
listen, but I ended up sitting on the bed listening carefully.  Apparently,
the Muppetts have named a character (a pig) in their new movie Spam, and the
Hormel folks are up in arms over it.  The news guy said that the Muppetts
response was that Hormel should be glad that Spam is being associated with
something that is pure pork and appreciate the advertising.

All I could think was....should I buy a Spam stuffed animal and send it to
the listfolks who promised to eat a can?

I'll 'me, too' that - I spoke to the Programming Director at Washington
DC's channel 50, and as far as they're concerned, it hasn't been
cancelled, and they'll pick up the fourth season if there is one.

        If we can send every syndicator to NATPE with this kind of prior
softening-up, we may just pull off season four.  Like I said, I believe
in it now.  There has been no hard and fast word throughout TriStar that
Forever Knight is dead.  Yet.

        But we really, really need to make contact with every syndicated
station that's carrying it, and a bunch that aren't.

Here's an even better Spam web page:  John's Shrine to Spam at:

http://umbc7.umbc.edu/~jstron1/spam.html

I also hereby give notice that I will bring my little can of inspirational
Spam to the next con that attracts a large gathering of FK fen and I will
proceed to eat said can of Spam.

No, not me -- I'm in Massachusetts. I'm just writing to remind you to make
your reservations now -- if it's even still possible. If NATPE is anything
like the Consumer Electronic Show (also LV in January), it'll eat every
hotel room in town! Good luck.

I will be printing off a copy of this and at the next gathering, hopefully
another Gercon, I will produce said printout as proof of Sharon's promise.

You know, I have never even seen Spam.  I've seen the cans, but I can't
recall EVER having seen the actual item.  Is it that bad?

Subject: CHARITY: Update 1/5

Hey, Hey Everyone :)

Just thought I'd give you all a virtual hug and virtual chocolates
(for those who can still eat them <VBG>) for the weekend :)

As of today's mail, our group charity drive has raised, are you all
listening?

                        $2,017.00!!!!!!!

Hee-hee, we're going to far surpass Sony's donation if this keeps
up.  Just gives me a warm happy feeling inside to ponder that
possibility.  Nothing like a bunch of dedicated fans going one
better than a major corporation to put a smile on my face :)

I'll keep you all posted as to Sony's donation to PAF.  They told
me that they could let me know about that some time next week.

On an added note, for those who were wondering, I'm not planning on
putting the amount of each person's donation on the parchment, just
names.  If we have the number of people involved that I'm expecting
before this is all over, there definitely won't be room to put the
amount of each donation in.  If anyone has any input on this idea
that they'd like to give, I'm open to all suggestions. Have a great
weekend everyone :)  We all certainly deserve it :)

Subject: JK alert!

We interrupt this SOS campaign for the following annoucment (which I don't
think has been mentioned yet)....

I was just channel surfing after X-Files and watched the VERY LONG ad on HBO
for "The Late Shift" ( the movie about the fight between Leno and Letterman
to host the Tonight Show) and John Kapelos <*sniff* I STILL miss Schanke> is
in it as one of Dave's guys...I don't know which but like one of Dave's
right hand guys. There are two ads for the show and John is in both. When I
saw the shorter one, I was sure I was hallucinating due to show cancellation
stress related syndrome (SCSRS) but then I saw him laugh and I *knew* that
it was indeed JK.  In the longer one, you get a much clearer shot of him
walking with the "faux" Dave along a busy New York sidewalk in a rather
fetching overcoat.

Anyway, the movie starts in a couple of weeks I believe. I'll check on the
dates and post them when I find out.

we now return you to our regularly scheduled SOS campaign

Gillian Horvath's day job is with Highlander, but she moonlights as a
script writer for FK. (Blackwing and Fever are two of her eps)  The day
before JP dropped the Big Bomb, she was on an AOL chat, and had just
gotten approval for one of her scripts from JP.

Now, she's apparently been told her script will be needed after all this
season, so she's back to working on it.

I take it as a good sign.  With the huge amount of time she puts in for
HL, she wouldn't be finishing up the FK script if it weren't going to go
through.

(Disclaimer: I'm not claiming huge inside sources or anything.  I've just
bumped into her online several times)
