How to save a show from cancellation? The Harold method

save-life-unexpectedI have great readers and subscribers here. And of you, in this case is standing out with this:

A method to save a show from cancellation. The Harold method to save a show from cancellation.

First of all. Who is Harold?

This is an excerpt from the e-mail when we met

I was part of the first generation of children born in the early 1950’s to be “raised” on television, the electronic babysitter of the future (whether that was a good thing or not will be judged by history, I guess).

So, when one of the few shows I like to watch today gets cancelled for lack of an audience, (and there are not too many shows left for people with fifty or more years of TV watching experience to watch, as we have “been there, done that, seen it already” type of thing), I must have a place to vent my frustration with the cancellation, and post my views (in an intelligent way, of course).  I was one of those forward thinking people who petitioned the NBC network back in 1968, to keep an esoteric show called “Star Trek” on the air for another season, and it worked (for one extra season, anyway).  We saved our beloved show, and it felt good!

Well, after that introduction, we started exchanging some e-mails, regarding the Life Unexpected possible cancellation, mainly.

And with the little glimmer of hope to get the show rescued, he came up with this method for saving the show.
And it can very well be adapted to other shows.
Why not save Lie To Me like this, why not saving Bleep My Dad Says?

So, wuthout further ado

The Harold method to save a show from cancellation

The plan to save Life Unexpected:

1- we need to filter all the “please save this show” comments to the CW Network, and the studio that produces it. (The best way to do this is that you can here or in the LUX post about cancellation leave a comment stating why you´d want a new season of Life Unexpected.

2- give everybody on your site the links to the CW Network and the studio who produces it. (You can start leaving them comments too)

3- Letter writing may be a bit out of date (in 1968 that’s all we had, so we wrote letters), but if you can, please provide an address for the CW Public Relations Dept. (Ok, so you can send your letters to PR Dept at The CW: 3300 W. Olive Ave.
Burbank, CA 91505)

4- Both you and I, as well as the fans on the website should understand:  The producers and writers effectively Ended the show in the last episode, by showing how things worked out two years into the future. So, we the people may have to actually give the producers and writers ideas on how to continue the show so that the stories remain interesting, Even though we all know the ending!  Fans will do this, if properly motivated…free ideas for the creative writing staff of the show!  And…we can suggest that the show does not have to be produced 22 times for the season…they can create six to ten special episodes, like “mini-movies”, and with proper publicity, it would attract the original audience back to the show, and even some new viewers.

Life Unexpected Casting News: Krista Allen joins LUX

krista-allen-joins-life-unexpected-castingIn great piece of Casting News from Life Unexpected we get that former Emmanuelle Krista Allen is joining Life Unexpected.

As we already know, Baze has a new job, and as we may already expect, Baze will have an affair with his boss.

But what could happen when you toss in the picture say Krista Allen? Well, she´s Krista Allen, so chemistry and fireworks should be the right answer.

Krista Allen joining Life Unexpected as Candy, a multimillionaire named Candy who is coveted by Baze´s boss as a client.

When Emma and Baze attend a lavish party at Candy’s house, she is put off by Emma but turned on by Baze.

Krista Allen joining Life UneXpected is bringing the show into a whole new level… but will Krista Allen story arc last? We still don´t know, and certainly hope so, but we are not that confident. Sounds as writers are more invested in developing the Emma – Baze affair, making Krista Allen´s character something to heat that romance up rather than a whole new love interest for Baze.

What do you think about the casting of Krista Allen in Life Unexpected? Do you think she´s way out of Baze´s league?

Let me know in the comments section.

Life Unexpected Spoilers: Did Ryan plot Baze´s bar fire?

life-unexpected-spoilers-ryan-plot-baze-bar-fireOk, if you saw season premiere of Life Unexpected you must be wondering it. Did Ryan have something to do with Baze´s bar fire?

Is Ryan´s sister guilty on a non accidental fire?

What do you think?

Cate and Ryan return from their honeymoon only to discover that major changes have been made at the radio station in their absence. A very confused Baze struggles with his feelings for Cate, and ends up hooking up with the hot new bartender, Paige, at his bar. Meanwhile, Lux and Bug find themselves at a major crossroads in their relationship.

But Paige turns out to be not the hot new bartender, but Ryan´s sister.

So, Is Ryan guilty of plotting in Baze´s bar fire? What do you think? Let me know in the comments section.

My guess is that Paige did it all by herself, but that will bring storm towards Ryan and Cate whenever Baze meets the sister and find out she is the same girl as the bartender.

The thing that troubles me about Life Unexpected is that it´s pulling a Pretty Little Liars with all the Lux / new english teacher tension.

It works on PLL, but, will it work on Life Unexpected?

Life Unexpected – One Tree Hill Crossover Spoiler!

One Tree Hill has somewhere around 3 million viewers and The CW is probably hoping some of them will also endear Life Unexpected.

On October 12th, viewers will have the chance to see a Life Unexpected – One Tree Hill crossover episode about a trip to Portland by singers Haley and Mia to perform in an event hosted by Cate and Ryan´s radio station. It works, right?

Cate told Ryan she slept with Baze.

Tasha was sent away.

Baze got Joint Custody of Lux.

Ryan punched Baze in the face.

Lux was mad at Cate for not taking Tasha in. (Lux always gets mad at Cate but in the end they patch things up… this time they didn´t)

Baze wanted to take Tasha in, but they wouldn´t allow a single adult man take in a teenage girl.

So now… what is happening?

Is Ryan leaving Cate for good after she cheated on him?

Answer to that is no, but she will have to work it hard.

Is Tasha moving away and out of Life Unexpected as Bug did?

Answer may be no again, and probably taht´s the best way for Cate to regain Lux´s approval.

What do you think?

Cancelled Shows 2010: Is Life Unexpected renewed by The CW for a second season?

UPDATE: Somewhat good news. CW has went a little back in the decision of cancelling Life Unexpected and moved it into more of a bubble show. (There are still big signs that it will get cancelled: Kris Polaha has a contract with another channel, Lux herself Brittany Robertson has been cast for Secret Circle), but they are seeing a lot of movement from the fans and will make a decision later.

What do you think we can do to help the show? Let me hear your ideas in the comments section, so we can make this “Save Life Unexpected” happen! In the meantime retweet this article with  #SaveLUX or post it in Facebook so we are more and CW can hear us!

UPDATE: Life Unexpected Star Kristopher Polaha signed a deal for a new show with CBS, and LUX creator Liz Tigelaar signed a multi year deal with ABC. This certainly puts the final nails in the coffin for the show, and it´s only missing official confirmation, that Life Unexpected is cancelled after two seasons.

UPDATE: The CW has not order back episodes for the second season, making it a 13 episode second (and probably final) season. Since Rating are making it CW´s least watched original show. If you want to save Life Unexpected, start watching and create some buzz. Is Life Unexpected getting cancelled on season 2?

life unexpected cancelled renewed by the cwUPDATE: It´s Official! Life Unexpected is renewed by The CW!

Update: Still unofficial, but according to Michael Ausiello, CW is strongly considering a second season renewal for Life Unexpected. A 12 episode second season of Life Unexpected to be precise.

We are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of the season.

The CW was giving the good news earlier this week. But Life Unexpected wasn´t announced as one of the renewed shows by CW.

So, what´s going to happen?

Life Unexpected is renewed for a second season by The CW although this is not yet official.

Why? Let´s see what Dawn Ostroff, President of The CW told Kristen Dos Santos, where she said how happy the network is with the show, leading to a certain renewal of Life Unexpected by The CW.

This is a fragment of Sawn Ostroff and Kristen dos Santos dialog: “Creatively, Life Unexpected is in a great place, and it’s doing well. It had a really good night last night, and we’ve been airing it twice a week, and we get as many viewers sometimes on the second run as we do on the first run—it’s not duplicated viewers, it’s new viewers. LUX is actually doing quite well for us. We’re very proud of the show.” So come on, Ostroff, tell us true: What are Life Unexpected’s chances at renewal? “I would say it’s got a real shot at this point.” Whoo-hoo!

Are you happy The CW renews Life Unexpected?

I´ll also update this post when it´s officially confirmed.
