An Interview with Roswell's Kevin Kelly Brown

The tobasco was mailed. The e-mails were sent. TheWB.com posting boards were inundated with desperate pleas to keep Roswell alive for another year. Varying internet critics engaged in a battle of gossip: “The show is being canceled,” “No, it’s not, TheWB will pick it up,” “No, it’s dead in the water. Give up now and find a new cause.” Fans praised the ones that gave them hope and avoided the naysayers. But when Tuesday, May 15th rolled around, Roswell’s fate was sealed – there would be no final reprieve.

Or would there? The rumblings of a UPN pick-up grew louder in the two days between the channel’s new season presentations. The Wednesday between was filled with much trepidation and came with a satisfying payoff: an eleventh hour agreement by UPN saved Roswell from the brink of cancellation – the second time the series was saved at the last minute. Ushered into a cushy post-Buffy spot, Roswell has yet another chance to tell its story to a potentially larger audience.
