I found this link on myspace while I was surfing the topic The Dead Zone TV Show, I'm not sure if it will help us save our show but it's worth a try.

I found the show to be very well done. I'm disappointed it was cancelled and horrified at the attempted replacement; Psyche; where we have the classic dumb white man (ok that's a real sore point with me) and a step 'n fetchit side kick. They could do better. sad.gif

I tried to watch Psyche and fell asleep. Like the Daily Show . . . just not funny. Like Jim Carrie. Very clownish and primitive.

Primitive - and an insult to the obvious intelligence of people who turn to USA and are attracted to the intricacies of compelling crime drama. The Dead Zone was no less of a crime drama than Law & Order . . . Johnnie was just a police consultant that used a freaky brain abnormality to help solve crimes instead of using specialized training or . . . in the case of Adrian Monk . . . obsessive compulsive attention to detail.

Whatever though - I understand the critics a little because I disagreed with King's original story - the way it went. That was lame that Johnny had to die and had to be crazy and kill a powerful politician. We have too many European Americans in prison for just that sort of thing already.

That's why I liked the series. Johnny got to go on and have a life. I never learned how he dealt with Greg Stillson though. I just saw the first part of the cliffhanger with Johnny getting apocalyptic visions of the city he was in being a nuclear volcanic hell whenever he touched the soon-to-be-President's hand. I never saw what he did about the guy - probably just used his powers to render him politically dead and then went out and bought a steak dinner - warm and safe away from too many people touching him.

That's what I would do. If possible - be as Buddhist as you can and preserve life.

I signed your petition, as 'Bubba' said we all do need each other. "People Power" I used to watch the Dead Zone all the time, when I finally got back to watching it Walt was killed off and then, I just couldn't keep up. But I would watch it again. Good luck too us all. Please sign our petition at "Save The 4400", and if you can buy some some seeds, on the 20th, for the next mass mailing, it's a good deal, instead of 5$ a bag GiantSeeds is allowing us to buy a case for 20$ which is 24 bags. Plus NO shipping charge. Don't forget to watch Jericho, tonight CBS 10pm, I wish you well.

I FULLY support your cause, and have signed the petitions, but just want to bring a little thing up...

Psych started a year before The Dead Zone and The 4400 were canceled, and it appears on Friday Nights, in no way conflicting with the aforementioned 2 shows. The show you need to blast on is In Plain Sight. Just so you know.

Side note- Psych would probably be pleasing to you if you catch an intelligent episode, just mentioning.
