....but I'm not giving up on Touching Evil. I know its been about a year since it was canceled, but still we have to do all in our power to bring it back.

I say we write to other networks, not just USA, lets write to FX, Spike Tv, any channel we can think of and ask them to air touching evil, and if they can't do that then at the very least show reruns. Bloody hell, we might as well write to Bruce Willis while we're at it.

I'm not quitting. I'm gonna write some letters....any suggestions on what to say? I've already gotten the addresses to 5 networks, and i'm going to write letters to all of them. If anyone wants these addresses, you can private message me. Any help would be great.

But I need some help on what to say. Can anyone think of descriptive words for characters, and the show itself...as well as an introduction??

I would so be up for helping out with this campaign, i freakin loved this show!
I would say...Tell them how even fans of the british original show liked it as a remake, say how it never got enough coverage and advertisements, how it was funny and original and every episode was fraught with drama and people gettin emotional and all kinds!PM me or email me if you really wanna do this because i hate that this got cancelled before it even had a chance!

I think the reason Touching Evil didn't do so well was not because no one liked it. It was because not a whole lot of people knew what it was. All of my friends had never even heard of it untill I told them about it. So maybe you could put that in your letter. (The only people who knew about it were avid USA watchers like myself)

That what i forgot to say. it was widely underpublicised(is that the right term of phrase?)Like in the uk it had a couple adverts which i only paid attention to cos i saw the feature lenth pilot on the movie channles a couple times and loved it and thought it was actually just a remake of the briticsh one but a standalone film, not a series, then i saw the commercials and was made up so yeah, you could sauy it didnt get a lot of coverage commercial wise and that if it had it would have had a woder audience. Inthe UK the channel its shown on is only availabe if you have cable or Sky, if you dont have either you're screwd!!!

Well ,I live in Greece,Thessaloniki and I happened to like the show very much.It was really original from my point of view and it touched(funny to use the word) many important issues in certain episodes. Although I obtained the show simultaneously with the american audience with well known and respected ways, I was sad to find out that it got cancelled during summer I suppose.I wonder if they finished an arc or something(I mean do they even bring the delicate subject of creegan's history?). Good news is,though, and that's why I got nostalgic with the show is that a greek tv station is going to air Touching Evil at 01:00 am Saturdays.

People are saying that the show is based in an eglish series.Will definately check it out.
