OK, so perhaps the show Space Rangers isn't the greatest show to hit
the airwaves in years but it is about the closest thing I've seen
recently to "role-playing" like live-action SF and it is on
prime-time network television -- a party of space adventurers on a
frontier outpost fighting hostile aliens, etc. treating money and
equipment as a factor. I'm not here to debate the merits or flaws of
the show. It had both. What I would like to do is encourage anyone
who liked the show -- even a little -- to think about responding to
the following call for letter writing...
[Note, send any flames for this post to [email removed].
Sorry to take up this space but I feel kind of strongly about
supporting television SF in general and this show in particular.]

Sadly (to some!), CBS put Space Rangers on indefinite hiatus.
If you'd like to try and convince CBS otherwise, write to:
CBS Audience Services Attn: Ray Faiola
[address removed]
Ask CBS to bring Space Rangers back from hiatus this season, and pick it up
as a regular prime-time show.
If you prefer to call, try CBS Program Information at: [phone removed]
This number will be answered as "Program Info". State you want CBS to bring
Space Rangers back from hiatus, and make CERTAIN they log your call.
The general number for CBS is [phone removed], and you can ask for Audience
Services at this number if you wish.
Get everyone you can to do this. The more letters, the better chance of
convincing them that Nielsen ratings aren't always a true measure of the
audience.
