Dear Ms. Hammer:
Congratulations on your move to the Sci-Fi Channel! I wish you all the best in your new position.
I'm a devoted fan of Earth 2, and was very happy to see The Sci-Fi
Channel begin airing its episodes. Earth 2 is one of those rare
television series that succeeded on all levels, with high
quality writing, acting, music, editing, direction, and special effects.
It was nominated for three Emmy awards in its first and only season in
1995, and won the Emmy for Best Visual Special Effects. Unfortunately,
Earth 2 was cancelled because of a dispute between the studio and
the producers. NBC cancelled the series rather than compromise its high
quality. If Earth 2 had been renewed, I'm sure that it would have
achieved the ratings success of other Sci-Fi series.
Please consider reviving Earth 2 as a made-for-television movie
on The Sci-Fi Channel. I know that TSFC had expressed interest in
the show in 1995, but was not producing original movies or series at that
time. Since then, TSFC has produced many original productions, including
Sliders and Welcome to Paradox. Earth 2 is receiving
consistently high ratings in its Sunday night time slot on TSFC. I believe
that a made-for-television movie would find a large audience on TSFC, and
be well worth the investment.
