Send an email to Josef Adalian at joe.adalian@variety.com. He has written several interesting articles about NBC (aka "No Brains Channel"), particularly NBC primes for better times. Mr. Adalian notes The Black Donnellys as being "too dark" in this article. Send him your thoughts.
He has also written about the success of the Jericho fan campaign.
You can send him thoughts about the Jericho campaign and your fight to resurrect the The Black Donnellys.

This was a quick addition to yesterday's daily action item. We think this item deserves attention and should be today's item as well.
Digg* this article written by Rich from Copywrite, Ink. entitled "Rolling Clovers: The Black Donnellys". It's a great article that gives you a background of The Black Donnelly's short run on network television to internet only content and notes our efforts to bring a second season over to HBO. Let's digg this article and bring it to the top! If you have already dugged this article, don't forget to tell your friends and family to do so!
Let's also do what Rich suggests. Stream an episode of The Black Donnellys, today. You can do so by visiting NBC.com and clicking on the video section to watch a full episode.
