Please do. Like a petition? Or maybe start getting your friends to watch the show?

If you know any Nielsen families, we really could benefit from getting them to tune in. Cuz right now, our show is, as they say 'on the bubble.'

NBC hasn't made an official decision yet on the show's future but zap2it.com reported the new entertainment chief Angela Bromstad has said that while she's a fan of shows like "Chuck" and "Life," she wants both "quality and ratings" from the network's lineup going forward.

Our show hasn't quite done all that well ratings wise but if you look at them, they've slowly been on the rise since the third episode of the season. But our demos are a bit split so we need that 18-49 demo to go up a bit more too.

It's all ratings and demos, you know?

Hopefully, with the 3-D episode airing the day after the Super Bowl, people will start tuning in and stay tuned in. Cuz we kinda need them to do so.

Or else there won't be a season three...

S-so...any help you can give us is much appreciated! Thanks!

I know how that feels Chuck, I'm sorry. Do you want to talk about it?

Well, it's not over yet. I mean...nothing's final that this season is the last and all.

But...I mean...how was it when...well, that cancellation thing happened to you?

I know my mun watches every episode, but she's not Nielsen.

I only had 12 episodes before my show was canceled, so I didn't really get a chance like you to get established. I was still sad to see it go. If we had gotten a second season, I bet we would have lasted a long time.

My mun does too but she's not a Nielsen either.

Aw, that's too bad, Connie. I can't believe you didn't even get a full season order. Sci-Fi should have been more patient with your show!

We actually had the highest ratings out of all their original shows. We beat Battlestar Galactica, but they still canceled us.

That probably doesn't make you feel any better.

That...doesn't make any sense. Why cancel something doing well ratings wise?

We brought in the wrong demographic. They wanted 18 to 25 year old males. We brought in 25 to 30 females.

Still...that's within the coveted 18-49 demo!

That...honestly makes no sense.

That was basically what the critics said. We had a lot of fan driven petitions and Save The Show campaigns, but well, Sci-Fi made up its mind and we were gone.

*shakes head* You'd think some other network would have picked you up like USA or something.

It's really, really, not fair.

I'm still kinda bitter with the Sci-Fi channel myself. They were supposed to air reruns of my show but like after 4 episodes, just stopped.

The fans tried that. It just didn't go anywhere.

See, just further proof Sci-Fi is just run by idiots.

That sucks.

It is. My mun still can't believe they canceled Mystery Science Theater either. (And she's fully aware that was about 10 years ago.)

My mun loves that show. MST3K was hours of entertainment.

It so was. Plus it provided inspiration for what to do when you found yourself watching a sucky movie.

Although, in a crowded theater, it's kind of a bad idea.

This is true...

I hate the bubble.

The bubble is evil...

Don't start to worry until your show starts coming up faux endings.

Like what?

Like.....shots of an empty office. Or in your case, yogurt shop and Buy More. You, Sarah and Casey walking off into the sunset, things like that.

Yeah...that would probably be a sign...

Or like, you know, whatever end game there is...either a sans Intersect life or me as a spy or something...

Hey, look on the brightside, at least you'd have an ending...unlike me or worse Jordan...she had it bad, being stuck on the side of a frozen mountain and all.

Yeah...you just kinda disappeared.

But being stuck on a frozen mountain...that's...harsh.

Of course I watch you! Every week and everything!

Thanks sis! I really appreciate it!

Dude, you see how they work our show? For the first two seasons we didn't even know if there was going to be another season until well after the final episode aired, so they shot them like they capped a story.

Season 1 was NOT fun to end.

And of course there is talks that the writer is going to end us next season anyway, which is kinda depressing.

Sounds like your writers had to prepare, just in case. Mine are doing that from I've heard.

It's depressing but on the plus side at least things will get resolved and you won't be stuck in limbo post cancellation.
