The Save Miracles Campaign

 

Join the Crusade!
Welcome to the Miracles Grassroots Campaign

Miracles debuted on ABC as a midseason replacement drama on January 27, 2003. The show offered a fascinating, intelligent story of good versus evil, with talented actors, a rich cinematic look and feel and an immediately exciting premise.

So of course ABC preempted it, didn't promote it and killed the show after airing only six episodes - despite critical raves, surprisingly strong Nielsen ratings, frequent second-place rankings and a strong, passionate and dedicated fan base worldwide.

Save Miracles is a coalition involving thousands of Miracles fans across the world, which was officially founded by several different early Save Miracles efforts following ABC's cancellation announcement.

All of these efforts then combined forces - in order to speak that much more loudly. And as one voice.

Building a national campaign on the early efforts of Miracles fans like Lara Giesbers and Regina Loveless (who founded the "GOD IS NOW HERE" napkin campaign), as well as on the petition begun by fan Leigh Lewallen, MiraclesHQ is here simply with one goal: To save an incredibly great show.

And in only six months? We've accomplished a ton - over fifty press mentions worldwide, a full-page ad in The Hollywood Reporter paid for by thousands of fans, another full-page ad in Variety (the April 25, 2003 edition), and serious response from networks such as Trio, Sci-Fi and Fox.

So we're accomplishing great things, and believe in what we're doing - now more than ever, when those who love good genre programming find the current landscape a wasteland. X-Files, Buffy and Farscape are gone, Angel is on the bubble (in spite of its best season yet), and this superb show Miracles, which received truly outstanding reviews, wasn't even given a chance to run past six episodes.

Genre fans are among the most loyal you'll find anywhere - the kinds of fans who score demographically in the 18-34 numbers, who seek out to patronize and reward advertisers, and who consistently demonstrate willingness to follow a show no matter where it lands.

After all, it's been done before.

Look at other successes like Cagney and Lacey, Roswell and Farscape (their fan campaign offers a fantastic website at SaveFarscape.com, among many others).

In short? We believe the fan campaign is a new part of television history - a way for television viewers to, at long last, have some say in rescuing programs that deserve to be saved - and seen.

In other words, we're on a crusade. Feel free to join in - we just might change the history of television.
