Try condiments. Rabid fans of Roswell have barraged The WB with bottles of Tabasco sauce (the series\ufffd alien kids can\ufffdt get enough of the stuff) in an attempt to keep the freshman alive. A save-the-show campaign (via e-mail) has also been launched for Felicity. Both shows could use the help: After a rosy start, Roswell faltered because producers couldn\ufffdt decide whether it was a love story or science fiction; and after a bang-up first season, Felicity lost viewers when it moved to Sunday nights. So they\ufffdll remain on the renewal bubble, unless they show promise in their new time slots (Roswell moved to 9p.m. Mondays and Felicity to 9p.m. Wednesdays). \ufffdThe shows are in question because of ratings,\ufffd admits exec VP of programming Jordan Levin. \ufffdWe want to bring them back. But we also want to make a case to advertisers that these shows are growing, not declining.\ufffd Perhaps fans should forgo Tobasco for a little Miracle-Gro.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to KDberg for sending this in! &#8220;Roswell&#8221; The End Well?
