HOSTAGE SITUATION (I guess no one really cares about this show)


Ok, sounds like we have a hostage situation here. Information has leaked out that a Fox show, is being held against their will, and maybe killed off. We have to do something, and now. We all need to negotiate with these perpetrators, and bring this show back at full force. Fox, has definitely screwed with the wrong people. We need email addresses, and physical mailing addresses, that we can send a one page note that says: DON'T KILL OFF THE HOSTAGE. THE STANDOFF NEGOTIATORS.

WHO'S WITH ME ON THIS FIGHT???????????????


Peanuts worked for Jerico, why can't this???

I guess no one really cares that this show is going to cancel, cause no one replied to my post, I thought maybe we could get a following of people to protest, and hopefully bring this show back, like what they did with Jerico. I'm going to do what I can, and then I can bi*ch and complain all I want, because I actually TRIED to do something about it. It's kinda like the president, If you don't like him, but didn't vote, then keep your mouth shut.

Otherwise: ASTA LA VISTA STANDOFF!!

Hey there,
Thank you so much for responding to my post, and for giving me the address. I've already sent them an email, I will write my letter tonight, and get it in the mail tomorrow.

Not a problem, I'm happy to help!!

There is still a chance to save Standoff and I'm not stopping until I know for sure that nothing else can be done.

I hope that you'll pitch in with the Splenda campaign, we've already sent about 15,000 packets, but if want to make an impact we need a lot more!!!

I just cant belive that they did not give this show another season, it has developed so much from the pilot to episode 12 which I just finished. I try to watch every series I can and standoff had a great theme. I started watching it and it was good, cool characters, acting and it had action. But wow these last episode has really taken this show to another level, its just getting better and better and I can only imagine what the rest of the show is going to be like. Im so tired of series getting the axe this early, whats the point in making something when you dont give it a chance?

A show cancelled after half a season or one season without completely terrible ratings and obviously crap stuff has not been given a chance. Yes everyone wants easy quick money, and that everything you produce is a instant gold mine, sorry but you have to be patience and work on it, unfortunatly not everything is an instant revolutionary success. Why cant THEY JUST GIVE STANDOFF A FIGGIN CHANCE? THAT GOES FOR ALOT OF SHOWS.

Tv series are obviously a big deal to me and its really though when good shows get the axe, and its also ironic and bad to see that none instant perfect rating success shows are not given a chance, theres no rom for anything other than the mass.

Ramble over.

Don't worry, I think you'll be fine.

I really hate how these networks don't consider asking for the community's input, before cancelling a show. There have been so many show's that have gone, and I think it's a shame. I'm still waiting for "Jerico", to come back, yet no word on that show either.

Was that the show where the fans sent 15,000 lbs of nuts to FOX and got like 6 more episodes!

Yes, but I haven't seen or heard anything about the new episodes, and with this writers strike going on, who knows. This is something else that bothers me, is this strike, it's been going for a couple of months now. I really hate these reruns. But what can you do?

Tell the writers to go to *beep* and tell them that we will write the shows for smaller amount of money than the writers.

HI THERE SWEETIE, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
The writers are the one's who give us awesome shows like Standoff, and they need to be paid for the work they do. My imagination is shot, So I'll give it to the writers, to come up with the story lines.
This was one hell of an AWESOME show, what the "bleep" was Fox thinking when they cancelled it, to bad they didn't ask the viewers their opinion!
FOX should be banned!!!

*raises hand* I second that!! The execs at FOX completely lost their minds when they decided to cancel Standoff. Shame on them.

reply

I agree....Although I don't think they had anything in their minds to loose when they cancelled Standoff...Which is why they cancelled it to begin with. Had they had been in their right minds they *JUST* might have been able to see what they were doing, and would have been able to stop themselves!

reply

With the writers strike going on now, I'm sure FOX is kicking themselves for cancelling a good show that they had a writer for, since they're not getting anything new this season. They even had to push the return date of their 'big hit' Bones all the way to April... they should go knock on Craig Silverstein's door and beg him to start writing Standoff eps again.
