Many thanks, USA Network, for considering airing Passions reruns and possibly producing new episodes in the future!!! Please do it. I most definitely want to see Passions from the beginning, since I came upon it only in 2006. I got hooked on Passions immediately and have loved it dearly ever since!!!

Because of your terrific shows Monk, Psych, Law & Order and The 4400 (wish it was still on the air), I'm already a viewer and big fan of the USA Network. I'm sure if you bring Passions reruns to your schedule your ratings will just blast off the charts!!! There are a ton of fans who were shut out of watching the show when it moved to DirecTV and would love to see Passions again on a network that we already get on our cable systems. Thank you very much, once again, and please make our dreams come true by airing all the seasons of Passions as soon as possible!!! smile.gif

I would love it if USA played Passions sort of like how they play L&O, several episodes a day. Passions has been in production for 9 years and I don't want to wait another 9 to see all of the episodes again smile.gif

Greetings,

I am a loyal fan of the NBC soap opera Passions, and have been one for the past eight years. I've loved the characters throughout the years, so needless to say, I was disappointed when NBC cancelled it in order to extend the Today Show for another hour. Many of us dedicated Passions fans are equally, of not more disappointed about it being cancelled a second time.

There have been rumors recently that USA Network is considering picking up Passions for re-runs this fall, and possibly new episodes beginning in January of 2009. By doing this, the USA Network would surely attract the many viewers who have remained loyal to the show since the beginning. And by airing re-runs, USA would also attract new viewers who may not have previously given the show a chance. After getting to know the stories and characters via re-runs, the new viewers would surely be excited to see new episodes next year, benefiting both the show and your network.

Please give Passions a new home for its 10th season. Passions was a top-rated show among young viewers, and will continue to be if given the opportunity.

Thank you for your consideration. smile.gif

Hi USA Network,

My name is Erica Love and I am a LOYAL PASSIONS fan that started watching in 2002 til now. Even though I don't get directv I watch through clips on websites or I'm also subscribed to the nbc.com service for full episodes.

I would love it if you could show reruns of our FANBASEY PASSIONS again from the beginning for people who didn't get to see it from then (like me).

I am begging you, PLEASE, PLEASE SHOW RE-RUNS of our FAVORITE SOAP OPERA PASSIONS!!!
PassionsForever
One last time before I go to bed:

Please USA, play the re-runs of Passions so that the American audiences can experience this wonderful show again.

Please, consider picking up Passions in one form or another. I watch this soap EVERY day without fail, usually through DVRing it. I begged my husband to get Direct TV just so that I could continue watching Passions! I guess I was a bit of a late commer to Passions, since it started in 1999, and I've only been watching since 2004. So, of course, I would love to see the espisodes that I have missed, see a spinoff show, or see new espisodes. It is very true that once someone watches one espisode, they are hooked. This is what happened to me. Even my husband wants to know what happens on Passions everyday! I think that this would be a GREAT move for USA since Passions has an established fan base, and could very easily pick up many more viewers. Also, many loyal viewers who couldn't watch Passions on Direct TV will return to watch it on USA, since USA is a much more accessible network. Passions is very unique, and, for that reason, it isn't boring like many other soaps. When I heard Passions was ending, I tried to watch another soap so that I would have something to watch when Passions ended. It isn't possible. There isn't a replacement for Passions because it is in a league of its own. Basically, I'm begging you to bring Passions to USA in some form, whether it is reruns, a spinoff, or new espisodes.

Thank you,
Becca

I tried the same thing. For about 2 weeks after the initial cancellation announcement I recorded all of the new soaps on SoapNet and couldn't find one that engaged me like Passions does. It is such an entertaining show, and it would be great on the USA Network.
tiffyhoffman
as a passions fan from day one it would be great to see the show on usa. this way more people can be exposed to the crazyness that is passions and who knows maybe they would even start showing new episodes and the show could be returned to older glory when the show had a lot of twists and turns with good story lines.

Passions is a GREAT show!! I miss that show a ton, I will admit I stopped watching it as much after Jesse Metcalfe left the show. I will always be a fan and would be stoked to see it back on!

Passions is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen, and the fact that I can say that even while my character is getting the shaft says alot. I still really miss the days of Timmy smile.gif Josh Ryan Evans played TImmy, a doll that could magically come to life in order to help Tabitha, the town witch, create havoc and despair.

Here is a basic description of the show from the NBC website (it isn't really up-to-date, there are alot of character missing but it helps a newbie to understand the show):

Welcome to the town of Harmony, the deceptively picturesque New England town and principal site of "Passions." On its surface, Harmony looks like an idyllic New England town, but this is no ordinary place. "Passions" explores the lives, loves and losses of four core families who reside in Harmony: the Cranes, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, the Bennetts and the Russells, each of whom have their own distinct and diverse personalities.

The wealthy Cranes, under the helm of patriarch Alistair, rule the town. Despite the difference in their economic status, the lives of the Cranes are constantly intertwined with the working class Lopez-Fitzgeralds, a Latino-Irish family held together by the hard-working Pilar. As a result of a long-buried secret, Alistair's wife, Katherine, left town years ago with Pilar's husband, Martin. Their return caused strife for Katherine's daughter Sheridan and Martin's son Luis, despite the couple's deep love for one another. Luis and Sheridan seem to always be battling obstacles, including the schemes of Luis' high school sweetheart, Beth, who wants Luis for herself! Despite the pleas of Beth's mother, Mrs. Wallace, Beth kidnapped Luis and Sheridan's baby and is raising him as her own! Meanwhile, Luis' sister, Theresa, wants nothing more than to be a family with Ethan, the love of her life, and her two children. Ethan's wife, Gwen, and her social-climbing mother, Rebecca, will do anything to prevent Theresa from stealing Ethan away.Ethan grew up believing he was a member of the Crane family, but he was actually the son of Ivy Winthrop Crane and Harmony's Chief of Police Sam Bennett. Chief Bennett and his sweet amnesiac wife Grace Bennett had three children together-Noah, Kay, and Jessica. But thanks to Ivy's scheming, Grace is out of the picture and Ivy is back in Sam's heart and home. Kay and Jessica remain resentful of their mom for leaving, and have certainly acted out as a result!

Sam and Grace's best friends are Eve and TC Russell. The Russells are an African American family with a strong presence in the community-TC is the high school athletic coach and Eve is a respected physician. They have two daughters, Whitney and Simone. The seemingly perfect Russell family exploded when Eve's secret past with Julian came to light, thanks to the machinations of Eve's vengeful sister Liz. It turned out that Eve and Julian had a child together. Their child was none other than Chad Harris, Whitney's boyfriend! In the aftermath, TC has turned to Liz, while Eve and Julian have rekindled their love.

And let's not forget 300 year-old witch Tabitha Lenox! For years, Tabitha wreaked havoc in Harmony along with her reluctant sidekick, doll-turned-boy Timmy. Tabitha was heartbroken when her beloved Timmy passed away, but is now causing just as much mischief and mayhem with the help of her daughter, Endora! Endora is a chip off the old block, having inherited her mother's powers.

I heard a rumor that USA was going to follow suit with the Canadian Super Channel and start airing the re-runs as soon as the day after the final episode of Passions airs on DTV. I hope this is true, the rumor I heard said that the deal was finalized and USA was just waiting to release the news to the press.
mom1209
I have always loved USA Network because of the charcters on the different shows. Well Passions cerintaly has it fair share of charcters. It would make since that USA would pick up Passions. So PLEASE PLEASE pick up Passions show the reruns from the begining us faithfull viewers will prove to you why it would be a good idea to continue with the new episodes.
PassionsForever
The current rumor regarding Passions is that the network will be airing 2 episodes a day!!! This is awesome because we won't have to wait another 9 years to see of the episodes again smile.gif

I am glad they are going to be showing the reruns of Passions. Lets hope there is enough people watch it and maybe they would make new episodes or atleast make a spinoff from the show. I was surprised that they took it off NBC. I have had watch Ellen ever since then. I think it has a better chance being on regular cable than it did on satelite.

I just heard about this!

I am a 20 year old male, and have been watching Passions since the good 'ol Timmy days.

So many people have made petitions, and posted comments on NBC.com.

I really hope USA does pick up Passions, there is so much more that this series could do!

Keep me updated about the schedule. : )

I guess this is even more proof that Passions fanbase encompasses every demographic that USA could hope to reach.

Yeah, and I am Jewish too, lol!

I first saw it when I was about 12 years old... it caught my eye as I saw a woman with blond hair (Charity as I would soon find out) entranced by this magic necklace.

That's when I became intrigued of this show. Ever since then I was hooked on Passions... really liked the magical part about it.

It's a show of rarity. I always feel really happy when watching this show.. I don't know, can't really explain it. Sheridan and Tabitha have always been really cool characters.

Its such a wacky show you can't help but just laugh.. the inside jokes are hilarious. Like when Tabitha said "It was a disaster.. extending the Today Show.." (or something like that)

This is one of the last shows I watch.. I really hope it lives.

I started watching Passions because I had always watched Another World. What kept me coming back was the crazy happenings in Harmony. Timmy immediately caught my eye and then I just fell in love with Gwen. By the time Beth came on the scene I was completely hooked. I've seen almost every episode and want to see them all again!!

Please USA, air the re-runs of Passions smile.gif

I love watching the shows on USA, one on the newest ones that is on USA is called IN PLAIN SIGHT. It is very good, it about the two that are partners and they are in control of the witness protection program. They awesome, you really need to watch. And if you like watching House, in the fall they are going to start playing is shows five days a week. I think that is just great.

With the final new episode of Passions coming closer and closer, I grow more and more hopeful that USA will pick up the re-runs of this wonderful series. It has been a popular show for 9 years and can drawn in viewers for years to come.
