No, onyx_treasure, I'm not suggesting we grovel. Why bother.....they couldn't care less. They already know how many fans are tuning into DS every day. They HAVE to know those numbers. And of course they realise we'd ALL be furious if the show was yanked.....but what would we do about it? Threaten never to watch the channel again?
And that 's not even getting into the question of age demographics. Quite a few of us DS fans are old enough to have been original viewers. Do you think WE'RE the demo that this station wants? Somehow I tend to doubt it.

I have to agree with you on this one. However, I begged my cable company to carry Sci-fi. My local newspaper even complained about the poor selection of channels available. When a survey was sent out, I selected the Sci-fi channel. By the time we got the Sci-fi channel, Dark Shadows was in the middle of 1897 story line. When the series ran to the last episode, Sci-fi channel canceled the series. I still held out hope that it would return so I continued to support the channel in subsequent surveys. Since the demographics here in Maine tend to be older, I am sure the viewership for a channel like the Sci-fi channel would be low anyway. If it is canceled again, I could see my cable company canceling it in lieu of something else. Do they have a 24-hour Lawrence Welk channel?
