#SaveTimeless: How one fandom is single handedly trying to rescue their favorite NBC show
There's a reason why fans are such a huge part of a show's success. They can make or break the show for obvious reasons, but from what we've seen recently, they can also be the reason a show comes back for a fresh new season. A force to be reckoned with, fan support today is changing the course of history like never before.
It all started with 'Star Trek: The Original Series' in 1968. NBC had made up its mind to let go of the show when a fan campaign swooped in for the rescue. After two seasons of the show aired, a letter-writing campaign by fans brought it back for another run. Bjo and John Trimble decided to bombard the network with letters and were joined by fellow fans in the process.
The rest is history. It is safe to say that shows like 'Family Guy', 'Futurama', 'Jericho', 'Caney & Lacey', 'Sense 8', 'Veronica Mars' and more recently, 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' were rescued by fans in their own capacity but the campaign that has really caught our eye is the rally for NBC's 'Timeless.'
