AMERICANS: We are tired of struggling in a country where we have so much, yet give our people so little. Budget cuts are being made everywhere. We are less and less: FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, it is not about the people anymore, just like T.V. isn't about Quality only ratings. This is my space, this is my quality, hopes, fears, and dreams, my stories I share with you.

THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH TELEVISON!!


Joan of Arcadia was a profoundly unique show about a young girl's average life. She did not seek out god, but he sought her out himself. He found her worthy of truth, faith, and knowledge that she couldn't see in herself.
In the first episode many viewers saw Joan hanging with the in crowd, but latter she learned how to take on the perspectives of other classmates she normally would not have considered befriending, or envisions it as god giving her a situation where she could learn and grow through others. She discovers her true self through exploring the suggestions given to her by god. It’s not like the Angels in “Touched by an Angel”, he doesn’t say god loves and tell you what to go do, but god answers her questions with questions, god makes her think.
When people think of television they think of a nice night of relaxation. People do not view it as I am going to sit down and ponder what this episode of “Friend’s” means. This is the effect Joan had on it's viewers it gave them more then straight forward answers. It let you come to your own conclusions about the characters on a higher level, then just the show. As a viewer of this creation, I feel torn and upset about CBS's choice to abandon the show after the second season. My view was that if the show was to be dropped, or it was even considered that they would at least end it properly. It was ended very inappropriately. Many fans are fighting in order to SAVE JOAN, but I am worried that our support is not enough. The biggest problem created by CBS itself was time slot it was placed in. This was a Friday night slot at 8 p.m. when most adolescence are out with friends or renting movies. If the show had been moved to a different night during the 2nd season it may have had a better chance of surviving to the 3rd season. Now it is up to us the fans to support, and rock the networks to save this small part of quality television. What affects us the most is the question of how many viewers actually know what quality is now? There are so many children, and teenagers that only know the now of television. Who think nothing of the quality of what they are viewing, but only how is this going to keep me interested, is it going to make me laugh, cry, and do I have to think about this? In order for Joan to be saved more people have to get involved in the forum online. The address for all of the news and information is www.savejoanofarcadia.com the forum leader's name is Stephanie, and she will be sending you e-mails and updates. Please help save this show so quality television and our enjoyment of it can continue.
