Description:

TO: STEVE MCPHERSON, PRESIDENT OF ABC PRIMETIME

We would like to thank you for your part in bringing October Road into our lives. As devoted fans of this amazing show we would like express our appreciation in the form of our campaign :

 

PAY OCTOBER ROAD FORWARD

Many devoted fans are coming out of the woodwork to help save our beloved show and are fighting to bring it back for MANY more seasons to come!

*CALLING ALL ROADIES*

We all want the same thing - to save October Road! In the process of this campaign we will also be helping which is always a good thing to do! Here is how it will work.

We purchase a copy of the 1st season of October Road on DVD. Take it to our local libraries and donate it to their DVD section. Along with this you will take the form letter to the contact person there at the library and explain to them that you are participating in a campaign to save this show and would like to donate that copy to their section. Then have them sign this form that you did this and if they have a library stamp with their address on it, have them also stamp the bottom of the letter.

NOTE: If you have other books or DVD's you have been looking to get rid of and would like to donate at that time, have the library make note of this also on the letter.

Or

You can purchase a copy of October Road online through Amazon or ABC.com and have it shipped to

They create movie care packages and ship out weekly. Also, the DVD's get passed on to others when they are finished , and that's GREAT! All you have to do is click and ship!

When you have done all of this, send the related letter back to ABC.

I know that maybe some are hesitate about spending that $20 or so, but I have looked at it this way, I will just give up my "pizza night" this week and spend it on buying this DVD to donate. Save your receipt and a copy of the letter, it will be tax deductible!!

Please help get this show back on the air. We need more good shows to watch with talented casts. There is only so much mind numbing reality shows like Dancing with the stars and American Idol or so many versions of Law and Order we (I) can stand to watch. There is 20 different versions of the same show (CSI, Law and order, law and order SVU, etc...you get the hint)which has stayed on the air for the past 10 years, but as soon as anything decent airs, it lasts 2 seasons and they rip it off the air. A good time slot for this show is all it needs to be a huge success. Its upsetting to see shows with a decent cast and an actual story line like October Road go and see shows like (no offense to the fans of it, just my opinion) Ugly Betty get to stay on the air. Come on! -- An ugly secretary with superficial models with no plot. And that stays over October Road. Call me "old fashioned"
Get this show back on the air........ it seems like no one even tried to promote this show. This is a great show with fabulous music and a talented cast. COME ON...... Give it back!!!!

I am still waiting for closure. I have watched October Road's replacement "Life on Mars". I can't say I dislike the show but it is no where near the quality nor does it have the heart of October Road. Send Mars back to outer space and bring back the Road

I keep hoping that ABC will wake up and realize that they had a great show! A show with a plot line that kept you coming back for more. One of the only shows on TV that was not a crime drama, hospital show or reality show. Come on, ABC, we are getting sick of those other formats. Give us back October Road!!!!!!
I feel the same!!! I have been waiting and waiting for October Road to come on then online I saw something that said Abc had cancelled it and that a 15 minute Series Finale would be added to dvd season 2... I pray that is not true I wish if anythin it could be picked up by another station and a bit earlier so more people may enjoy this great show!!!!!!

OMG October Road was my favorite show. I have been waiting all season for it, checking the cable guide, and checking ABC.com. I used to watch ABC shows years ago then I switched to NBC and watched their shows for years. October Road was the one show that got me hooked on ABC shows again. If the the third season of October Road doesn't make it to tv and the shows have already been filmed the least that could be done for the fans is put it on DVD. This is the one show that I truly loved in a long time.

October Road was the best show out there! I got everyone I know hooked after the first season!! If the "powers that be" wonder why reality tv has become such a draw... it isn't because we necessarily enjoy it, it's because we KNOW it's going to end. No disappointment in that. I'm very tired of giving these shows and characters a chance, feeling connected and then being disappointed because the show gets pulled. These shows need time to develop the true fan base. I've sworn I wouldn't give any new shows a chance... they have to make it 3 seasons before I'm going to watch. I'll watch the first 2 on dvd and then join in on the 3rd season. October Road was fresh, original, and had great writing. ABC is quickly becoming my least favorite network...and I speak for many. The way you left OR wasn't fair to the fans or the cast. Make things right....bring it back. Seriously.

MORE OCTOBER ROAD NOW

Please bring back October Road !!!!!! I have been waiting all season for the show. Why is it that the networks take off the good shows and put crap in that shows place.

CB

They have to bring October Road back. I have just been twiddling my thumbs waiting for season three only to find out today that it has been canceled! What a bummer. I am a nurse and I get enough hospital drama at work,it was nice to watch a show that dealt with real people and real places. Bring it back!!!!!!!

Great show, addictive and it would be dumb for abc to stop it without an ending to answer some questions.

I personally am sick and tired of feeling let down and disregarded by the ABC hierarchy. It seems that they have no insight into what the viewers are into these days. Case in point ..What about Brian, October Road, and of course the story that never got a proper ending...Invasion.all excellent shows but were not renewed because of some overpayed halfwit thinking that the Geico cavemen were a better bet for prime time? It has gotten to the point where I and my family hardly care to watch network TV anymore. Just when they suck you into a story line , the Gods on Mount ABC,CBS,NBC decide that the show is not a bankable option and they drop it...So , why even watch the newtworks? It is my opinion that the networks owe the viewers an explanation if they abrubptly pull a show from the lineup..People get involved and enjoy their weekly escapes in the gform of these story lines...C'mon people..remember who you all are working for? The viewers..Cause without us ,,there is no need for your new shows..We'll just go back to watching reruns on TV Land!!

This is one of the best shows ever. ABC is crazy not to bring it back!

i watched season 1 and 2 in the same day i completly got hooked on it , i swear i had tons of stuff to do i just cancelled everything and sat there watching im in love with this show ,I love october road , rock on roadies , and plz bring it back ...i dont want a 15 min preview it sucks i want a season 3 and a 4 ect.

Please, Please, Please bring back October Road!!!! We need it back.

Bring back October Road!!
