thanks for posting that makes me writing a letter to MGM even more enivetable!!!!

Morrigan · 12th June 2001, 07:48 PM

I saw this on the DANIELites list yesterday, and I think this may give hope to some:

Showtime is only contracted for five seasons. The Sci-Fi channel is picking up the first 5 seasons in 2002. I can definately see them jumping at the chance for first run episodes if MGM decides on more.

How SWEET the sound (why did I say that? I was no where NEAR close to being born when the Honeymooners was in top form....)

In addition to a letter or home made card or story board (too bad I can't arrange to shoot a 1 minute thing with someone - have a great idea) I think I'm going to send a box of tissues to MGM that says whatever it was that Jackson put on the box he threw back through the gate ("Send more" I think).

If everyone sent them a box of tissues tho without some further explanation they might just get confused. Probably best to send it to MGM's dept that handels Shwotime or put someting like "We want a 6th season" on the other side. Would guess that cost would still be under a buck or so, and it should have a lot of impact. Other "campaigns" in US received time on the radio and news for similar stuff. Like when a lot of people sent tea bags in to Congress. If you live over seas then maybe one of those little dinky plastic wrapped packs of kleenex to save on shipping.

Just an idea.

Morrigan · 12th June 2001, 10:07 PM

Koala, you are just a fount of ideas, aren't you?!

He did indeed say, "Send more" on the box. Perhaps send the boxes, then a few days later send a letter.... or maybe send them together with the envelop tied around the box...

Wait, scratch that last one; the post office might think it is a threat or a bomb or such...

Jedispara · 12th June 2001, 11:29 PM

great ideas guys, i have already started an e-mail and letter to them, i just hope that all of us can make enough of a diffference!

DethJestor · 13th June 2001, 01:35 AM

I'd just like to say that i have only seen up to season 2 where i live and i dont have pay tv to see the rest, i am currently trying to buy all the dvds of every season so i can watch them all.
mgm cant possibly ignore all the letters and emails and they would be stupid if they did!!! they can not possibly run out of ideas for the show and the only way to end it would be to destry the goa'uld completely and we arnt good enough for that yet

(well maybe not) but keep the letters rolling

we will change their minds about stargate.

:lifeup: <---- me!!!

Suds · 13th June 2001, 05:13 AM

Great idea about the tissues!!:rolly2: Lurve it:kisses:

I'll send them one of those little 10 packs.... seeing as I live in Aussie I think that's fair enough..... it'll probably cost like $5 just to send that

Oh well, it's for stargate!

What's the address we need to send it to????

System Lord Gypsy · 13th June 2001, 05:35 AM

LOL. I love the tissue idea. Where do you think up these things bud???????????????

Gypsy

Morrigan · 13th June 2001, 05:56 AM

I agree that the tissue thing is a good idea (great EVEN!), but I really don't think {showing definate distain here for the SUITs} that they would know what the hell you were talking about. Even if you sent it to the offices of exeutives (unless it was Exec. Prod. RDA) who WORK for the show, they probaby wouldn't get it.

Hate to sound like the defeatist I am, but.....

Hey, the ppl who DID get the joke and point would get a kick ou of it. I think the idea is original, funny, and big enough to garner attention.

PS, nice to see ya posting more Gypsy

System Lord Gypsy · 13th June 2001, 06:05 AM

I'd be here a lot more Morrigan but we are short staffed at work and I'm looking for a new flat. Another week or so and I should be here as much as I used to be on Ausgate and the DL.

Gypsy

Morrigan · 13th June 2001, 06:08 AM

'Tis good to hear you'll be joining us soon.

I'll sit here and hope and wish that you get enough ppl to ease your workload a bit, and you find a nice flat, and a good area, for a reasonable price.

System Lord Gypsy · 13th June 2001, 06:13 AM

The next step after that is to find a cheap comp and I'm in heaven.

Gypsy

Morrigan · 13th June 2001, 06:19 AM

Sorry, can't help you there. Looking for that myself, and I'm greedy, so no help for you.

System Lord Gypsy · 13th June 2001, 06:23 AM

ROFL. Well thanks. I'll return the favour when I find one then.

Gypsy

DethJestor · 13th June 2001, 08:34 AM

you should go to one of those aucions where they sell all old stuff for realy cheap... like you could buy a 1 or 2 year old comp for a couple of hundred dollars, it is a wicked way to save money!!!
