S.O.S. – Save Our Show
Ok, everyone, it’s time to get involved! Mark your calendars!
The week of Sept. 8-12, 2008 is the week to participate - spread the word!
Mon, Tues., Thurs., and Fri, - Every GL fan should tune in.
Wednesday Sept. 10, 2008 – DO NOT TUNE IN! (this one day only)
I sent the letter out today (Aug. 28, 2008) via certified mail to Barbara Bloom. I anticipate that GL will receive it within 3-5 days, and then add several days for it to get noticed. (see the letter above).
We need every GL fan, everyone who wants to see GL be successful – this is the time to be heard! We need everyone to participate and be counted!
Here’s what to do:
1. Starting now (Aug. 28, 2008) call or write to GL at the information provided
below. Read this brief script:
“I will be participating in an organized campaign during the week of
September 8-12, 2008, designed to let the voices of the fans be heard.
It is my hope that positive changes can be made, including the ideas listed in
the certified letter. There are (fill in the blank) number of people in my
household that watch GL.”
We want TPTB to be aware of how many people are participating in this by hearing this same message. Call only once please. If you prefer to write, I suggest a postcard or a letter that only states the script. With all voices united with the same message, it will strengthen the voice AND the message.
2. Then during the week of September 8-12, tune in to GL on the 4 designated days and tune out on Wednesday September 10th. Whether you intend to watch that day or not, tune in (or out on Wedesday) anyway, to be counted. Watch or don’t watch any show you want, but participate by tuning in (and out) to help make an impact!
3. Then, return to your regular viewing patterns and be patient while we wait for an adjustment period to put changes into place and get them to air on TV. That should be approximately 2 months +/- That’s it! It’s quite easy to participate in this effort where together, we hope to serve as a ‘Guiding Light’ for our beloved show to get back on a successful course.
Help spread the word!
* Post this notice and the letter on any message board that will permit it.
* Post this on your blog. Encourage others that you know who have blogs to post this
too.
* Post this on MySpace. Post this as a bulletin for all of your friends to see and
add the not to pass it around. Post a comment that directs people to this blog or
to your site that has this information.
* Post this on Facebook, or any other social networking pages.
* Send this in an email to as many people possible, and ask that it be forwarded on.
Please add the reminder of when this ends. (this doesn’t need to be Snopes.com as
an urban myth in 5 years because it never ended!
* Call or write to soap magazines and let them know about this. If they get a lot of
calls and if this creates a lot of buzz, they may be able to help (if printing time
allows)
* See if this can be printed in any free publications, to help spread the word.
* It is crucial that people with Neilson ratings diaries and systems know about this.
If you know how to reach any, please ask for their help with this.
There’s not much time to create a buzz about this, so I am relying on us all to pull together to help this iconic and loved show!
One more thing, and this is just an optional thing:
I would like an email from everyone who participated, from everyone who called the show, or made a post somewhere. It will be at least some sort of gauge as to how effective this campaign is. My email is listed below.
I’ll keep everyone updated through my SOC blog. (soapcentral.com, ID = Suzie NC46)
