Media Life Magazine interviews The Black Donnellys' fans:
Making The Case For The Black Donnellys.
The Los Angeles Times reports on July 5th:
"A cracker attack for 'The Black Donnellys'"!
When NBC removed The Black Donnellys abruptly off the air just after five episodes, fans of the series quickly gathered together to create a "Save The Black Donnellys Campaign". Fans began to dub themselves as "The Firecrackers" referencing the Donnelly family's fictional bar named the Firecracker Lounge.
NBC aired the remaining of the thirteen episodes on their Web site. The series was officially cancelled by NBC when they announced their 2007 Fall line-up on May 14, 2007.
This Web site serves as your resource to bringing back a second season of The Black Donnellys. The Firecrackers are dedicated to all initiatives that can help promote bringing the show back to television.
Only you can help save The Black Donnellys. How can you help? We have developed numerous activities for you to participate in. To learn more about how you can make a difference or become a Firecracker, view the links to the left.
Kristin Veitch from E!Online takes notice of our initiatives and names us the fam base. Remember, Family Above All.
Like the Donnelly brothers, The Black Donnelly fans will not go down without a fight! We see the potential in this great drama and believe it deserves a second season. One Firecracker can fizzle. Multiple Firecrackers can create a lasting impression and so can you!
