*Hey everyone i have some really bad news!!! American Dreams needs EVERY fans help!!!! American Dreams has been pulled for the last 2 episodes of the season. Which means AD will only be going to episode 17 which is only 4 more!!! The chances of season 4 right now are very slim right now so we need ALL of the fans to send postcards to NBC emails wont help only POSTCARDS saying you want American Dreams to stay!! As of right now if everyone doesnt go out and send postcards AD is going to be done!! So come on everyone we need your help to save American Dreams!!! Please put this around and tell your friends to send postcards too. The address to send to is:

Jeff Zucker President, NBC Universal Television 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112

Kevin Reilly President, NBC Entertainment 3000 West Alameda Ave. Burbank, CA 91523

I can't believe they've decided to cut 2 episodes. This is such a good show, I think it needs to be promoted more during the week. I rarely see commercials for AD. Hopefully a ton of people will send postcards and it will help get the show picked up for another season.

I read somewhere the cast is very optimistic about their show and are pushing for a Season 4.Meaning they want to have another Season now thats a cast with good Spirits.Mel

bandstanddancer · 02-01-2005, 02:43 AM

That's good to hear. I hope the show comes back for another season.

Here's an article from the fan club:

Hi everyone,

I just got back from Los Angeles and talking to Jonathan Prince about the fate of American Dreams. It is true, the season has been cut back from 19 episodes to 17. They thought this might happen, so they deliberately made episode 17 as if it could be the season finale.

This isn't good news... however, IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS CANCELED... YET. NBC has still not decided whether or not they will have a 4th season. Everyone at AD is still fighting for it, and they are all optimistic. The writers are still writing plotlines for next season. The sets are not going to be taken down. So the door is still wide open regarding the fate of the show.

How you can help ASAP:

Yes, writing the presidents of NBC is definitely an impotant way to go. Have everyone you know write them. PLEASE remember that you need to send postcards, all mail in envelopes may still be discarded.

Tell them why you love the show- why it is important to your life. Who do you watch it with? What discussions arise from the show? Do you own the soundtrack and DVD sets? If so, mention it! Make it heartfelt and personal. Tell them how you are also supporting the advertisers on the show, (i.e. Campbell's, Ford, etc...)

This is the time to go into action- having a campaign for a show AFTER it has been canceled almost never works... the time is NOW.

I will have more updates on a hundred other ways to help the show later this evening or tomorrow morning. We've been brainstorming all day.

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE!

This show just cannot go off the air. It is one of a few truly family oriented shows on the tube these days.

Please don't let it end.

tvfan0101 · 02-01-2005, 12:19 PM

Curses. I am not surprised but I am disappointed.

I think I will pick up a few postcards this afternoon and send them tomorrow.

Hey guys!

First let me say, thanks for watching the show! The news is true. We were slated for 19 episodes and it was slashed to 17 which will be wrapped up this week. Since you guys are truly fans, your support will make all the difference. Like a previous poster stated, let Jeff Zucker and Kevin Reilly know how passionate you are about the show. Your voices will be heard. Also, if you are a new watcher, let them know that as well. Especially if you watched Cold Case or Extreme Home Makeover. Again, thanks for your support.

I am going to look around the board and answer as may questions as I can. Sorry I won't give away any plot points or secrets, but I will give you guys as many answers as you need.

As I posted on another thread on this site I will definitley mail postcards to these two men. I love the show and I hope it stays on.

Screenwriter · 02-02-2005, 03:28 PM

This show NEEDS to be on television. Not only is it a show with moral and ethical standards, it is also a show that can teach viewers about the history of our nation. It is both entertaining and educational. The writing is excellent. The storylines are strong and compelling.

A show like this probably comes about once or twice a decade. The network and the producers have caught lightning in a bottle.

rusyd · 02-02-2005, 06:04 PM

I mailed off my postcards today.

BEATLESCHICK · 02-03-2005, 12:18 AM

Wrote an email to Ellen DeGeneres and Keith Olbermann (MSNBC) as well. I posted this is another forum.

rusyd · 02-03-2005, 03:09 PM

I tried to e-mail Ellen DeGeneres, but the site wouldn't let me in. I don't know what the problem was.

ADfan · 02-03-2005, 04:07 PM

I email ellen D, Oprah, and sent postcards, plus signed the petition hope it helps, this is one show I never miss! Does anyone have any insider hints as to what the remaining episodes might hold for us? The month of February is going to be a long month!

LuV2DreeM · 02-11-2005, 01:53 PM

It sounds like the cast and producers have upbeat attitudes about how things are going on. Maybe they have more inside knowledge than we know and all is well.
Maybe the move to Wed. is better for the show than we know.

Peace.

ADfan · 02-11-2005, 03:55 PM

someone said Lost is running repeats all month of March, so it may generate some new viewers. Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.
