...Ah, spring: renewal season. Or nonrenewal, as the case may be.
Fan have fought harder than ever for their favorite Sci-Fi television
shows this year, using some new and creative tactics. Roswell fans, for
example, sweating out a nail-biter as the WB network waited till the last
minute before making a decision, formed a corporation called Alien Blast and
collected about $5,000 to buy full-page ads in Variety in support of the
show. To make sure the suits at the WB felt the heat, fans mailed some
three-thousand bottles of Tabasco hot sauce (beloved of the series' alien
characters) to the network.
