Posts: 83 (07/09/08 04:13 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Wonderful World Remove this ad As Bill recently wrote in his blog, Folks, Scott Stone and Clay Newbill, producers of the Mole, are coming out with a campaign to keep the mole from being executed...by ABC. The web site will be (later today or tomorrow) www.savethemole.com. I have mixed feelings about this. While I respect the producers' attempt to take the show off life support, I believe their site will only reach the (~3.5 million) loyal viewers. Are the producers doing this because they don't see ABC doing enough to save the show? Makes me wonder...

Fox Reality?) so it's reassuring that the producers aren't just throwing in the towel and accepting this as the final season. Some cable networks would kill for a show to bring in half those ratings so I refuse to think of it as dead in the water...again. I still want NBC or CBS to pick it up, I watch literally nothing else on ABC besides Jeopardy!

But those networks wouldn't have the money and throw in lame tests,and dumb it down even more.And how much money would they be willing to give the winner-$200,000 at most?

I pretty much accepted by now that there wouldn't be any future season, but if they mean pulling the plug on the CURRENT season, then fuck!!

According to Bill's blog, it looks like they're talking about future installments (phew!): Folks, Scott Stone and Clay Newbill, producers of the Mole, are coming out with a campaign to keep the mole from being executed...by ABC. The web site will be (later today or tomorrow) www.savethemole.com. I will be posting their letter to the viewers on this web site. In addition, I've gladly made some videos for them to post on their web site to push the effort to keep the Mole alive past this season. They need your help! Bill The Mole II

The Mole: Flavor of Love Edition I'd watch it although you'd have no idea who the mole would be as half of them would throw shit just for shit and giggles.

Posts: 85 (07/12/08 01:14 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	The site is now live: http://www.savethemole.com WE NEED YOUR HELP! The very future of The Mole hangs in the balance. While our core fans have been turning out in droves, the show has been underperforming in the key 18-49 demo. Yes, we know, Monday at 10:00 p.m. (9:00 central) sucks for a lot of people. But that's what we've got and we aren't moving. The good news is we still have a chance to show ABC how much people love this show by getting our ratings up for the last five episodes. We did it the first four times we were on the air and we can do it again. If we don't, the show itself could be facing execution at the end of this season, and this time it might really be fatal. ENTER OUR "SAVE THE MOLE" CHALLENGE! Interesting idea, but the prize is a little weak. And 500k hits is a lot, even by Youtube standards. The spelling bee kid who fainted didn't even hit this milestone. Someone at ABC really doesn't like Scott Stone.

Oh yeah, save the mole and all that good stuff. Maybe we could join up with those guys from last summer and campaign for The Pirate Molester? "Wanna see Jack's sparrow?"

Posts: 7689 (07/12/08 06:48 PM) I need a life Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I like how all of these "Save the Mole" videos are getting about 250 views on YouTube so far. And how their website is all content and not much else. They seem really committed to this cause... I'm not trying to be a hater. I'm just pointing out the reality of this situation: The Mole is going to be dead after this season. Sad, but true.
