Actors appearing in NBC's American Dreams have taken as a good sign the fact that the network chose to run the originally planned season-finale episode on March 30, rather than a possible series finale variation that the producers had been asked to create to tie up the story lines, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported today (Tuesday). Star Tom Verica told the newspaper: "Our executive producer [Jonathan Prince] didn't want the alternate ending. He felt it would be the final nail in our coffin." Verica said that the cast was not informed until a week before the broadcast which ending would run. The network will officially announce the fate of the show, which is set in Philadelphia during the 1960s, in the fall, and, in the meantime, fans have launched an intensive "Save American Dreams" campaign. An NBC executive told the Inquirer that the show "has a shot, but it's a long shot."

So, we have a shot.

IMDB sort of has its facts wrong. We'll know next month when NBC announces the Fall Schedule if AD will return. We won't have to wait until Fall to find out.

Gosh, I can't wait to find out. You know...until I was missing American Dreams so much in February of this year, I didn't even know there was anything like this on the internet.....people out there trying to save television shows. There have been a number of good shows on in the last 10-15 years that I loved, and then the network just yanked them, but I never knew I could find other people who loved them the same as me. The one I remember the most, reminds me so much of American Dreams because it was a family drama, although it was set in the 40's after WWII...called Homefront. And now American Dreams is here...a family drama set in the 60's around the Vietnam War. These shows are almost like historical fiction books...and I just love those. And not only are we being entertained, we're learning things about our history that won't fade from our memories (like what we learned in text books did). I am just going to think positively...and believe that somehow, someway, American Dreams will make a big comeback in its 4th Season, and end up coming back year after year through Season 9.
Believe with me! WE LOVE AMERICAN DREAMS!!

Here's something else to help out (maybe). USA Today has a list of shows you can: "keep, drop or don't care" and an e-mail address to tell them, "What's the one show you couldn't live without". Here's the link:

Why don't they have American Dreams as one of the shows to vote either keep, drop or don't care? Just curious since it is also possibly (hopefully not) in danger of being cancelled.
