Its official... Its CANCELED... OR IS IT! Sci-Fi Campaign
Well Crashdown has the scoop.. sad but true.. its over..
from Sci-Fi VIA CRASHDOWN...
It's official: UPN has announced that it will cancel its teen-alien series Roswell. The network will air the series finale at 9 p.m. ET/PT on May 14. "I would like to thank 20th Century Fox Television, UPN and especially our fans, whose combined efforts helped get us a third season for Roswell," series co-creator Jason Katims said in a statement. "[Executive producer] Ronald D. Moore and I had the fans very much on our minds when we were writing this final episode. We felt they deserved a great ending."
Roswell's fate has been in doubt all season as the series' ratings have dropped against stiff competition from The WB's Superman series, Smallville. The show wrapped production on the current third season in March. UPN took over Roswell this year, after The WB dropped it after two seasons. Roswell has never been a strong ratings contender, but The WB renewed it after its first year as the result of a vigorous campaign by fans that included the mailing of thousands of tiny bottles of Tabasco, the teen aliens' condiment of choice.
The SCI FI Channel will begin airing reruns of all three seasons of Roswell starting this fall.

Attention Roswell Fans Everywhere!
In light of UPN's official cancellation of Roswell, it is now time to start seriously campaigning the Sci Fi Channel for a season 4. We will do that through a continuation of the current Passions Through Compassion Campaign. Go here for info on that campaign: www.crashdown.com/news/2976.shtml . The ONLY address to which you should now send postcards - even if you've already donated and sent postcards to the other targets - is as follows:
Stephen Chao
President, Programming & Marketing

Spread the word like never before! IF we're going to go out, we will go out Roswellian Style!
Re: Its official... Its CANCELED...
I think this is somehow my fault and I owe the Ros fans of the world an apology. See, I don't watch TV. But every once in a while (like every 10 years) I find a show I like and it ultimately gets canceled. So, I'm sure if I had just minded my own business, none of this ugliness would have happened.
Re: Its official... Its CANCELED...
oh my god.. MM.. its you... Throw your TV out..
Well I don't even think the actors are into it anymore. Sad but true.. God forbid they should work... and make the money they are making.. They should be greatful for having a job for God sakes...
Re: Its official... Its CANCELED...
IMM, even tossing the TV wouldn't help. I'm a curse if I even pick up a TV Guide, I think.
And I also think you are right about the actors not caring. Not sure it's a good thing to let the world know that, because it could always affect your next role. For instance, my job is sucking right now but I'm not doing a crappy job because I'm not enjoying it. Even though it stinks, I'm still being paid to do it. It's called professionalism.
But, ya know, opinions are like @$$h0les - everybody has one.
Re: Its official... Its CANCELED...
let's GO SCI-FI!!! funny, seems only appropriate that sci-fi would pick up the show... you never know, they've been known to pick up seasons too and not just reruns, like "sliders"... that went on for quite some time. but in any case, i'm glad that they'll be showing reruns at least!!!
