Oh Right In The Feels.

Yep! Stand by this truth!

Give me someone who has some fucked up tastes in fiction, but is kind and respectful to real people, over someone who only ever ships the healthiest ships and stans the purest characters, but is rude and cruel to real people, any day of the week.

Your goddamn fictional preferences don’t show what kind of person you are; your actions do.

It’s not a hard concept to grasp.

first time writing fanfiction of a character : uughh i hope this is all canon accurate... it cant be canon innacurate at all or the enitire fandom will throw rocks at me...

10057th time writing the character: heres them working at a mcdonalds

i have maybe the worst type of cuteness aggression about fiction characters that im attracted to

Definitely no changing my mind, this show needs to be saved.

OPERATION

#SAVESUNSHINE

In 2007, when CBS canceled the show Jericho, the fans sent in over 20 entire TONS of peanuts (based on the final line of the main character) to the network, and the show was brought back for another season. In 1999, fans of Roswell sent in over 3,000 bottles of hot sauce (which was a character's favorite) and the network specifically said that it contributed to the show going on as long as it did. The show was never actually cancelled, fans did this before that news could be announced to make sure it never was. A VERY SMALL amount of fans kept Friday Night Lights on the air after it was cancelled by sending in lightbulbs and eye-drops (more references to the show) and DESPITE THE LOW RATINGS, these efforts kept NBC from cancelling it for FIVE SEASONS. SOURCE FOR ALL OF ABOVE HERE, PLUS EXAMPLES OF OTHERS. TV tropes also has more examples of successes for other television shows, animes, and video games HERE. Even more examples of successes HERE.

DO NOT STOP sending feedback to FOX. And START sending actual, physical, stamped letters to the studios, which are going to, in the end, be far more paid attention to (according to all past examples).

And because of the success before, with fans sending in items that represent something relating to the show we love, I've been thinking, maybe,

Send in Bird Seed.

For Sunshine! For Malcolm's (and our) beloved bird! Just fill a little clear plastic baggie with bird seed and put it in an envelope either alone or with a letter (please don't send it in loose as it can and has sometimes caused allergic reactions depending on what kind, so make sure no one will have to touch it when they open it + that it won't fall through the envelope in the mail) and send it off to FOX and Warner Bros with #SAVESUNSHINE and #RENEWPRODIGALSON written on it. Buy a little pack online and put the address for delivery as FOX or WB.

FOX'S ADDRESS:

(uh, they have 3? I don't know which of the three would be "more right" or if all of them are, so do with this info what you will) 10201 West Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90064 United States Fox Broadcasting Co., P.O. Box 900, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212 1999 South Bundy Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90025-5235 USA

WARNER BROS ADDRESS:

4000 Warner Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91522 USA

BIRD SEED COSTS LIKE 3 BUCKS AT WALMART. You can probably get several envelopes worth of one bag!

Keep tweeting/emailing FOX and WBTV. Keep sending feedback on the website HERE. Sign the RenewProdigalSon official petition HERE. Keep tweeting with the hashtag #RenewProdigalSon and pair it with #SAVESUNSHINE to spread the word. Once again send in PHYSICAL LETTERS, things that have to be sorted through not just clicked away online. Add the birdseed baggie WITH your letter. Write the hashtags on the envelope! This has worked before. Fans can save shows, even if there's only a small but dedicated amount. Even with Firefly, where FOX didn't actually reverse cancellation, all the DVD sales of the series (which was a campaign by fans, go buy as many as you could) caused it to be picked up by Universal Studios for a finale in the form of a movie. Buy the show on Amazon, on HBO Max, SHOW THEM WE LOVE IT AND WANT A SEASON 3 (and beyond!).

And yes, there is a chance of renewal on its own if we do nothing. Barely. It would take a miracle, but it could happen. Maybe they're already planning on renewing it. MAYBE. Or maybe not. Probably not. They have already ordered 6 new dramas, and "The Resident" has over 1.5 million more viewers than Prodigal Son with any given episode this season, plus a better 18-49 demographic which is really important in renewals. Every single website that calculates chances at renew or cancel has it as "sure to be cancelled" and "long shot at renewal". It looks bad, no matter how you spin it. This is something we can do to try, and before any official announcement is made.

And the thing is, even if they ARE considering renewal, this can't go wrong! Fans showing such dedication and love as to do their best to ensure renewal isn't going to make them think "Actually, we should reconsider, this is bad for business." This can only make them more confident in their renewal decision! And maybe make us feel a little like we had an effect on it. Or, make them less confident with their cancellation decision, and make us know that we saved our favorite show. It's our choice! Let it be to
