I'm doing some research into fan campaigns to save or bring back shows. (And no, I promise, it won't be for "fans are so silly and live in their parents' basements" kinds of stuff.) And I need your help, oh all knowing wise and powerful flist. (Also, feel free to pass this around if you want.)
1) I can't find a still image of the Variety ad that Firefly fans bought; you know the one, with the "You keep flying, we'll keep watching" stuff. For some reason, the image is no longer linked at fireflyfans.net or browncoats or whedonesque, and I don't even see it on alyson beatrice's own site. I can't find any information about a request to make the image unavailable. I know that there's a shot of it on the DVDs, but I really would prefer a still image. Does anyone know where I can find one, or if it's cached somewhere, or have a copy of that ad?
2) What other fan campaigns used objects to symbolize their attempt to save their show? I can come up with a handful off the top of my head, but I can't remember if other shows used items sent to TPTB -- like, I don't think Sentinel did, but maybe I'm wrong.
So far, I've got:
La Femme Nikita -- sunglasses
Now and Again -- plastic eggs
Roswell -- Tabasco bottles
Jericho --peanuts
Was there anything for Miracles, Wonderfalls, and so on? There are probably plenty of series I wasn't into, so your help would be greatly appreciated.
