Greetings All!
I just rec'd an on line survey from Nielsen since I am a member of the
Nielsen Rating Family. They wanted my opinion on several Showtime shows. At
the end of the survey, they asked me to name my top three shows. Needless
to say I told them:
1. Forever Knight, first season
2. Forever Knight, second season
3. Forever Knight, third season.
Hey...you never know what will work.

CaddyWhacker, first and foremost. AND NOW I CAN PROVE IT!!!!!!!!
We need your help. Please go to _www.ForeverKnight.US/chiller.html_
(http://www.foreverknight.us/chiller.html) and sign the petition to get FK on
the Chiller Channel. Thanks!!!!

I head down to Scotsdale in a couple of hours. I just wanted to thank
everybody for your good wishes. I was saying to a friend in an email just
now, that isn't it amazing with modern communications, that we can have people
people we've never met face to face, some of whom are half world away, thinking
of us and wishing us well? I love my FK family.

Go, baby, go!
Especially since Entertainment Weekly's latest issue features "20 Greatest
Vampires of All Time"....with NO mention of our favorite vamps.

I know that I for one kept hoping to turn the page and see Nick as an honorable
mention or something...

Sorry Lyn, I meant this to go to the LIST.

Subject: Recent FK mentions
Last Sunday in THE PLAIN DEALER here in Cleveland there was a very prominent
article in the Arts & Entertainment section on vampires. FK was mention in
several spots, as well as Dark Shadow (both new and old), Bloodties, and
Moonlight. The primary focus of the article was when did the vampire become
the romantic good-guy in fangs versus the blood-sucking walking corpse in the
night.
Check plaindealer.com to see if there is an online version of the article. If
there isn't, I can retype and post here for all to enjoy.

With all respect (and you did give me quite a laugh!), perhaps instead of
name calling, we should educate people who may not be aware of or who have
forgotten about 'Forever Knight.' A few well thought out, reasonable, friendly
letters to Entertainment Weekly might bring some publicity to the show.
Vampires go in and out of fashion. With the current craze, I've mentioned FK
to a number of vampire fans, most of whom didn't remember the show and said
they'd be sure to get the DVDs at least through Netflix. Others remembered the
show well and were delighted to find out they could purchase the DVDs.
Not everyone is going to love FK as tastes vary, but what an opportunity to
share the show with people! ;-D
When I've actually been able to show a few episodes to potential fans, I like
to start with 'Be My Valentine' (hope I got that episode name right!) and
'Fever.'

Always assuming they can find the DVD's. Indigo/Chapters doesn't carry
them at all, and the local stores I've been to only have seasons one
and three, if they have them at all (usually they don't).
Not only that, but the seasons are relatively expensive at $79.99. Compare
that with Highlander at $68 or Stargate at $59 (or even on sale for $20, which
I'm seeing a lot of now).

For those in the US (and maybe Canada), they are available on-line at:
Amazon
Barnes & Noble.com
Overstock.com
deepdiscountdvd
for under $50, sometimes much less if used. I just double checked. I didn't
see them anywhere for $79.99 (in the us).
Those in the US also have access to such mail rental places such as Netflix. I
joined Netflix out of the frustration of not being able to rent tv shows at
local vhs/dvd rental stores. When I did find complete series, it'd have been
cheaper to buy complete seasons at Walmart!
Speaking of, for those of you in areas which have libraries with a good DVD
selection, why not recommend they look into getting Forever Knight due to
the vampire craze? Then just to make sure they do get checked out, check them
out yourselves even if you have the set<g> I got one of Greg Kramer's novels
into a local library by just dropping a note recommending it into asuggestion
box.

Libs, as usual you are the voice of reason.... I think my chief source of
irritation with the article was the fact that I was so obviously NOT the chosen
demographic! There was not even a single mention of Frank Langella's Dracula,
who started the whole thing for me....
Lots of the HBO vamps, and the sparkly vamps, pleased to see a lot of recent
fiction, but....to pick "Let the Right One In" or " Daughters of Darkness",
some really obscure seventies movies and neglect a tv show that was on for
three seasons....well, that just smacked of somebody doing a google search so
that they could write an article.
But I shall rise above it....!
By the bye, anyone catch James Parriott's new show, Defying Gravity? He's got
such a knack for taking characters and letting you see the human side of a
hero...
