Okay, the date of her last taping draws ever nearer...the first offensive
server to piss off the folks rather well, however THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH....
we need to have a major offensive. 

Now, many of you complain how much the show sucks--WHICH IT DOES--so
something must be done. This is the last straw, Susan is symbolic
of what made DOOL enjoyable, her firing is symbolic of how the show is
f***ed-up.  The characters whom the fans like, because they are talented,
are let go under the stop catch-all phrase, "no storyline" BUNK.  The
character of Julie is a Horton, and losing her we are again moving further
away from the show's roots, from the show's foundation. Changing everything
around and forgetting this for a new generation is totatally stupid,
and offensive. Something has to be done to make sure that a talent
like hers is not lost, that the erroneous assumption that substance
does not matter, that having "youth" is much more of a draw than
talent, class, sophistication--these things are equated with glamor
not "young acters." 

Therefore, we need another major strike out at NBC, at DOOL...make a
great deal of noise, we cannot remain silent, for if we do then
things will not change, but if we try maybe FINALLY TPTB will get
it through their skulls that the viewers are not happy, that they
are out of touch with us, that we will not sit back and accept
crap, that we are the consumers of their product, and that we demand,
INSIST upon quality, and if it is not given to us then we will complain.
Therefore, it may seem to late to save Susan, but Matt was saved in
the final hours. If we make a fuss, a big enough of a fuss, if we
might save her, and in doing the show which in the past we so loved.

Let's make it an all out assualt, everyone who is disgusted by her
firing, who is outraged that no story could be writen for her, 
because there is no interest in someone of her age must take action,
must voice their opinion to the ignorant producers, and writers.
We must barrage the phone lines, the fax lines. We need a constant
flow of calls, faxes, etc. to show our outrage. We have to
be forceful and threat them with boycotts, with discontinued
viewing, with promises to protest their advertisers. IF EVERYONE
on the net again does something, spends a couple of minutes at
least in this effort, if we get friends to participate, if
Greg can post this to the BBSes and get them involved then
maybe we can change things.

Let's have a discussion of other possible plans for attack.

Operation Save Susan, and thus DOOL will be held on Susan's
last taping day...around the 13/14 of Jan.

Phone: (818)840-4225
FAX: (818)840-4968

Ask for Susan Lee (Head of Daytime Programming)
Sheri Anderson or Jim Riley (Head Writers, DOOL)
Becky Greenlaw (Producer, DOOL)
Tom Langan (DOOL)
Ken Corday (DOOL)
Warren Littlefield (Head of NBC)


If your papers have letters to the entertainment section write them
and mention the protest, get the numerous of other fans who do not
know what is going on involved as well. Make a major distrubance.
