FOX has officially canceled the series as of Saturday. To quote from his email: "Yes. Unfortunately, I received word yesterday that Fox has officially cancelled NA. I know this will be a disappointment to the many fans who campaigned so ardently for its renewal. I can only express my gratitude for their passion and hope that perhaps some other network will let John Amsterdam live. And my thanks to you as well. Best, David" I normally wouldn't quote an entire email outright but I feel this is a message for all fans. While chances may be slim there is still a possibility that Regency Television could find another home for the show. However, time is in short supply as actors and crew will eventually find other work. I think it would be worth the price of a stamp to let Regency know you support the show and would like to see more of it. Regency Television Productions Inc 4024 Radford Ave Bldg 19 Studio City, CA 91604-2101 Tel: (818) 655-5562 I think it's, also, advisable to let FOX know - POLITELY - that you think their decision is a mistake. I recommend EVERYONE giving FOX a call on the Viewer Comment Line and letting them know you want to see more of John Amsterdam on your TV screens next season. The telephone number to dial is: 310.369.3066 If you have postcards or letters you still want to send, please try to get them out this week. Kevin Reilly President of Entertainment, FOX 10201 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90035 You may wish to send a second card, indicating your support to: New Amsterdam P.O. Box 900 Attn: FOX BROADCASTING Publicity Dept. Beverly Hills, CA 90213-0900 You can, finally, email FOX (but please do one or both of the above first) at: askfox@fox.com I received word from David Manson, show runner and executive producer to New Amsterdam, Sunday morning that confirms it.
