I'm surrounded by spam eaters...they would faint in shock if I started eating it for the sake of FK ;-) teriyaki spam (recipe from a friend who can't eat spam any other way because it's too gross) Slice spam. Place in frying pan. Add some shoyu (soy sauce) and sugar. The shoyu and sugar mixture will thicken in to a glaze for the spam. Fry till nice and brown (the spam pink will be nicely covered up). Serve hot with rice. _____ pinapple spam (my dad's favorite) Slice spam. Place in a rectagular cake pan in a single layer. Stud spam with whole cloves. Cover spam with a can of crushed, cubed or sliced pineapple (dad recommends crushed). Place in oven and bake till spam takes on a golden color. Serve hot with rice. ______ Fried rice with spam Add spam to your favorite fried rice recipe in place of other types of meat (or in fact in addition). Spam should be thinly sliced into match sticks. enjoy! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 14:32:38 CST From: "Cynthia J.

A local viewer has sent word of a national campaign to save the show, with gimmicks ranging from contributing to the Pediatric AIDS Foundation in the show's name, to sending lottery scratch tickets to Columbia/TriStar Television in hopes of financing the remainder of the season. If you're a fan and want to let USA know what you think write to: Mr. Rod Perth, President and Programming Executive Vice President, USA Networks, 2049 Century Park East, #0000, Los Angeles CA 90067. Actually, it was my father, who often watches FK, who let me know about this article in the paper.

Himmanen" <romana@p.......> Subject: Another link to the SFK page Back last week, I checked out the Sci-Fi Channel's Dominion web page. They have a whole section on TV web pages. I noticed they had a Save MST3K page so I wrote and asked them to add the Save FK page. However, since USA owns SFC I didn't want to put them in a bad position, or cause other SOS pages to be removed from their site, so I gave them an out on that (we are a considerate fandom after all). The Webguy wrote back to me today and told me that being in a "dicey position" (my term) made his job interesting, and that he was adding the link to the page. I always knew the people at SFC were cool despite who owns them, and now we have proof. Please visit the page at: http://www.scifi.com/orbit/scifitv.html Sharon -- Sharon Himmanen * romana@p........

The sites are Stewart Brand's WELL: http://www.well.com/ which has places (more than one, I think -- someone with a faster link than I should explore this) to list news and websites; and it has a link to Awarenet: http://www.awarenet.com/ which talks, among other things, about a Cyberspace Be-in planned for January 11 in San Francisco (maybe we can be part of this). Also, Awarenet has a feature called VoteLink, which won a Best Interactive Site award. One uses it to vote on and discuss political issues. So, the idea: what if we did Bea's Short Form Survey (the 20 Questions done for Arisia) on the Website? We could find out demographics (and remove duplicates if we did it by email addresses) on who hits the site -- and encourage more people to do so, since people *like* interactive sites, and like to make their opinions heard. Scary thought: what about a hotlink for email messages to TPTB? Is that allowed/legal? Is it a good idea, even if it's okay? Is it possible? Just a thought... Anyway, do check out these two sites: they could be good places to spread the word. Rae M rmontor@v....... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 20:39:26 -0400 From: "Carolyn P.

They had a place for sending e-mail to the Programming Director, so I sent her a nice message, praising Forever Knight, thanking them for giving it such a nice timeslot (12:05 a.m. on Saturday/Sunday is much better than some I've heard of), and asking that they continue showing FK, and that they request it at NATPE. The following is the response I got. I'm not really sure what to make of it. I'm going to write back and ask her if this means that they won't be showing the rest of the third season. I'll let you know what she says. If nothing else, we now have the name of someone to write to at WKBW. All it makes me want to do is start writing more and more and more letters. >Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 16:10:40 -0500 >X-Sender: snorat@w....... >To: Jane Snyder <janes@i.......> >From: Sarah Norat-Phillips <snorat@w.......> >Subject: Re: > >>Dear Jane, > >Thank-you for your recent communication on Forever Knight.

The two _worst_ mistakes to make, as I was told, are "Ich bin heiss" and "Ich bin colte" (blast, I forget the spelling of that one). In the case of the second, it literally means "I am dead". That's why one is supposed to say "Ich habbe heiss" (literally "I have hot") to say "I'm hot", and "Ich habbe colte" ("I have cold").

Here's a random idea I had this afternoon after reading something Sharon had on her NatPack page about how USA is buying up shows and stripping 'em/destroying 'em to get "free" stuff for the Sci-Fi Channel (sorry for the bad paraphrasing...but that's the basic idea, as I understand it): Since USA is doing this not only to FK, but did do it to TekWar, and is apparently tampering with Highlander, as well...what if there were to be a cross-fandom boycott of USA? Maybe this procedure is good business for USA, but it's bad news for us fans, the very people they're trying to "please" on the Sci-Fi Channel! With our numbers, plus fans of HL, TekWar, etc., not to mention the sheer number of SF/fantasy fans of *all* sorts out there who are aware of and displeased by what's going on (or who need to know!)....we could cause quite a stir, I think, and raise a little consciousness, garner a little media attention, possibly turn things around, if not for FK, then for all of the good little shows to come in the future... Now, I don't know if we want to make USA *too* angry--we do want FK, after all! But still...I think that it would pay to make use, somehow, of our knowledge of how the "other side" operates. This is a half-formed, stray thought, as I said, but I'd like to open it up to discussion. Opinions, everybody?

At a minimum, we should send her the press releases, but definitely also write back and ask if she is willing to ASK FOR the show at NATPE. TriSTar is a sitting duck there... Also, ask how she know it wasn't available; it's been interesting how many programming execs at stations don't know that yet.

She sounds totally disinterested in the fact that the show isn't going to be available for syndication. Are there other people in the Buffalo area, on-line or off, who could pelt her with a heavy load of letters and suggest that the show might become available for syndication if Program Directors got off their duffs and asked for it? People might also let her know that they don't care about "other interesting programs to fill the time slot? (I don't want another one, I want *that* one! in other words). Of course one doesn't want to anger a program director, so it should be done nicely. But this lady does need to be made aware that there is more than one person asking for the show (as if they're precious 12:05 a.m. time slot was worth much!). Too bad you can't turn her on to the Net... If nothing else, give her some idea of just how much is going on to SOS; might be an eye-opener for her.

Can anyone in that area tell me if FK is on in Seattle during those days; if so, what time? Anything going on regarding SOS activities by Seattle area folks that I could help with? If nothing else, I don't want to miss the next show, and I'm not too trusting of my mother to work the VCR correctly while I'm gone. If people want to send something besides the same old letters, try cards that are blank inside so you can write your own message. I've found some really great cards with unusal pictures that you can use as a basis for your comments. ie. a little dog flat on its back with a fan blowing over it (you know how dogs lay to cool off from the heat? -- a funny pic that catches the eye, at least) and I wrote inside "The news about FK knocked me flat on my back!!), then proceeded with the rest of the message. Or a man sitting in a chair in front of an audio speaker that appears to be blasting him half out of the seat, "The news about FK blew me away!" You get the idea.... The point is, its catchier than the same old letter, humourous, and they have to open the card to read it. Works for me...

Gang: Has USA removed FK from Mondays 10 p.m. already? My _TV Guide_ said that FK was supposed to be on, but I turn on the tube and _Silk Stalkings_ is on. Kinda funny that it gave me an ObFK: the show started out in a strip club with lots of scantily clad women, and I thought -- "this _could_ be FK; after all, Uncle does allow strippers now." In a way it's sad that you can't tell the two shows apart, though. If someone can tell me via private e-mail that this is indeed what USA has done, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Y'all are great.

Hmm, I guess USA was serious about that cancellation thing. I just tried to watch FK at 10pm EST on Monday, when the TV Guide had it in the schedule, & ended up getting Silk Stalkings instead. I guess I'll try again at 11pm, when the TV Guide said Silk Stalkings was supposed to air. Maybe they switched time slots. I assumed USA would at least finish out the month with FK! * Allison Percy, a perky Knightie percy91@w....... * * __o Pedal for Forever Knight & the Pediatric AIDS Foundation! * * _`\<,_ Contact me at percy91@w....... to find out * * (*)/ (*) how to pledge your support and/or join the ride! * ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 1996 22:00:38 -0500 From: Lillian Feden <feden@m.......> Subject: Re: Oh no....
