Beating a Dead Monkey

Greetings Cinescapers! I've got to come clean and say right of the bat that there have been too many replies to the save TARZAN inquiry for me to give results this week. As of right now I have received over 300 e-mails about the show and since I am a one man operation whose wife/secretary left him for the Domino's pizza boy (he delivers for over 30 minutes) I'm short on the manpower to stay true to my schedule. However I do have preliminary results, so you should all be excited. That is of course excluding those of you who have begged and pleaded with me in your e-mails to stop this TARZAN nonsense. To those readers (Frank, Tom and Dr. Love) I apologize.

Out

One interesting thing with this TARZAN campaign is the tactics used by the fans to save the show. Baskets of fruit and stuffed animals are being sent to the WB executives pleading with them to keep the show alive. One reader suggested that there should be a kill to save TARZAN revolution. That reader has had their e-mail forwarded to the proper authorities.

Alright enough funning here are the e-mail addresses for the campaign:
