When the 4400 started, I was hesitant. In the past I have had shows like "firefly" cancelled with no warning. Shows that I loved, that were great, prematurely replaced by shows that did no better or usually worse.

Recently shows that I had become endeared to like "Jericho" and "The Class" have also received an unfair axe.

So I have made a habit of catching shows AFTER they have been renewed for at least a second season. Lost, and Heroes, are both great examples of shows I did not watch in the first season. Only after each were renewed for second seasons did I catch up and join the show.

But I took a chance with the 4400. USA had never been a network I had spend much time on, but the show was a great idea, and I was very excited about it. So I hopped onboard with a relatively low commitment 6 episode first season.

I also got sucked into Dead Zone after it.

So now, here we are 4 years later. Intensely involved in this show, literally 100's of hours in including all of the message boards and re-runs.

And now I hear that there is a possibility that I might not get the whole story? That the "climax" of 4 years worth of watching was a show that could go either way? A "psuedo-finale".

You better be kidding me.

USA, this is in no way a threat.

But if this was the big payoff for 4 seasons worth of investment, I am finished with you.

I, as a loyal viewer, will not be treated 2nd hand to ratings.

If you are going to ask for fans to commit THIS much time to something, you better hold up your end of the commitment and give us a finish worth remembering.

Sincerely,

Patrick

Patrick I am feeling the same way as I am willing to bet at least half of the board is too. I think the best idea is to go to the USA NETWORK feedback link and write exactly what you put there because as we all know no corporate figure reads these message boards.

Thank you MEGAN! I never understand the amount of complaints, suggestions, and whining that is put into forums, messageboards and chats, while nothing is sent to the Feedback, Suggestions or the Contact Us where someone is paid to notice it!. Forums, Chats, and Message boards rarely are monitored for anything more than profanity, spam, and advertisments by the sponsoring company.
People need to understand just where you post makes all the difference in the world! 300 people can suggest the same thing on a message board and most likely nothing will happen, 300 people writing to the proper place most likely will have a very large domino effect and will cause change!

Write to USA

Please visit this thread....we are all writing letters (actual, not email as per Admin's instruction) to USA asking for a 5th season. Please take a minute to write down your thoughts and mail them off. We need everyone to get together on this.
