Gina <GinaT1000@aol.com> says write, fax, and e-mail newspaper and TV people.
Let everyone know that Skyads and Earth 2 fans are going to the Emmys!
Suggested targets:
Michelle Roberts Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews
at Good Morning America c/o CBS This Morning
4151 Prospect Avenue 524 W. 57th Street
Los Angeles CA 90027 New York, New York 10019
Carin Wong Rose Evans or Lissa Druss
c/o Entertainment Tonight c/o Extra
5555 Melrose Avenue 1840 Victory Blvd.
Hollywood CA 90038 Glendale CA 91201
Gina has a quote from Robert of Skyads that may be used in the letter writting
campaign.
"I've never seen an audience so entralled with a show as the fans of Earth2",
so says Robert Scott of Skyads. (1-800-4-skyads) "This is the first
time that I have flown a banner for a show paid for by its supporters."
Shoshona <AniMaAmin@aol.com> is looking for local, Southern California Edenites
to attend the outside Emmy festivities to hold up placards with E2 slogans on
them. Please E-mail her or Gina <GinaT1000@aol.com> to get involved

Mao <mao369@ix.netcom.com> reports Earth 2 was nominated for its *THIRD* emmy
for special effects in the pilot episode.
"Earth 2" - Episode, "Pilot" - NBC - Kevin Pike, Special Effects
Supervisor; Michael Shea, Special Effects Supervisor; Daniel Lombardo,
Special Visual Effects Producer; Tim Landry, Digital Effects
Supervisor; David Goldberg, Visual Effects Model Maker."
Kath <kez@magna.com.au> would be interested in starting a group for E2 fans
in Sydney.
Susan <sstiers@comp.uark.edu> was impressed with the Newsletter and knows
people/fans who do not have access to computers, etc. So she has the
suggestion that everyone who gets the newsletter make copies of the blue E2EA
informational brochure and then distribute it at their local bookstores
(i.e. sci-fi/fantasy, comic book, retail, whoever will allow it). It could
be set on the counter where people could easily see it. Those doing this
should keep track of how many they take and how often to get an idea of
potential interest and then report. (Mike adds: good idea!)
Michael <mhart@lawsun.law.fsu.edu> found out that in NBC's new fall schedule,
they have moved SeaQuest to Wed. at 8PM and wonders why they would move that
show to a new day & time slot and not try the same for EARTH2!
Alexis <75027.1277@compuserve.com> found a letter in the "Information Please"
column of the "TV Times" where a viewer asked about Earth 2 and was given
information on E2EA! The following is th question and response.
"What the future of Earth 2, my absolute favorite program?"
--Eric Weiner, Montreal
Response:
"Dim. NBC announced its cancellation in the spring. Despite an Emmy
nomination for best makeup and the upcoming release of the soundtrack, at
press time none of the major u.S. networks seemed interested in picking it
up. But fans are lobbying hard. There is a newsletter available c/o Earth 2
Eden Advance, PO Box 733, Westminster, Ca. USA, 92684-0733. Enclose
international postage vouchers, sold at post offices, to have your copy
mailed."

Seems she's having a hard time keeping the Peacock and Reilly sober, the
