NEW UPDATE, 4/24/10: Sorry for the lack of updates, I have mainly been updating the facebook group for the last month. New developments however. May 17th, the networks will present their upfronts, which means by that day, they will have decided the fate of BOT. We have all been sending letters and such for a while now, but what I think might be effective is a mass letter send. So, this Monday, April 26th, I am asking that you send as many letters as you can on this day so that we can flood ABC's mail system. All the letters will arive within days of each other. That will be several thousand letters, all for BOT. I am sending about 20 (that's currently all I can afford), but I am asking that you send as many as possible. Even just one will be sufficient. Remember the date: Monday, April 26th! Here's the address:
Stephen McPherson,
President, ABC Entertainment
ABC, Inc.
500 S. Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521-4551
UPDATE # 1: WE HAVE BEEN FEATURED SEVERAL TIMES IN MAUREEN RYAN'S COLUMN IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, AND WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT TO MORE COLUMNISTS AND MEDIA OUTLETS. THE 1000 KEYCHAINS HAVE BEEN SENT, AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A WEDNESDAY NIGHT RUN THIS MONTH OR SOON AFTER. KEEP SENDING LETTERS, LOGOS AND WHATEVER ELSE. THE KEY IS PERSISTENCE. WE CAN GET A WEDNESDAY RUN, AND WE CAN GET THIS SHOW SAVED...WITH HELP. KEEP IT UP GUYS. MORE UPDATES IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS...IF YOU WANT TO SEND LETTERS AND LOGOS, ADDRESSES ARE AVAILABLE FURTHER DOWN THE PAGE.
UPDATE # 2: ALL REMAINING DONATIONS WILL BE GIVEN TO HAITI RELIEF EFFORTS. AND MAKE SURE TO JOIN THE FACEBOOK PAGE, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE WILL BE PRIMARILY UPDATING.
Thank you everyone! We have now been featured on TV squad, and that article has been linked on the front page of AOL, as well as picked up by blogs all throughout the country! Keep the momentum going and someone has to notice!
Anybody who is here is because they love the show Better Off Ted. It is clear that ABC has no confidence left in this show, so we need to do something. As of right now, the best idea that I have that will be cheap and easy for every fan to do is to send one or two (or 10 or 100) letters to ABC President Stephen McPherson, address below. The idea is to contain the image at the top of this page, (also available in Hi Res), so that they get the idea to move it to Wednesdays and know people care about this show.
I feel the best way to do this is to do it very simply, and make it clear.
Stephen McPherson,

(thanks to 'Ted fan')
Also we can go to ABC's contact page and just E-mail this phrase:
VERIDIAN DYNAMICS.
Wednesdays. Better. (Click for Hi Res)
These images are now available just to copy and paste at the top and bottom of this page also. (SPECIAL THANKS TO LUKE R. of LOVEPORTIA.ORG)
I feel the slogan is solid, as it suggests an idea and is one they can attempt without producing new episodes yet since they can run reruns and most viewers will think they are new (and we know that repeat viewings are never bad).
There is also the idea of sending in coffee creamer (Thanks Joan!), which may get more notice than a Veridian logo, but will cost more, so feel free to do this as well, but maybe also slip in the logo.

Another idea, that may be more difficult without one target, is to film yourself buying products advertised during the airing of the show and send the video to the advertisers and the network. Again, we just need to find out who the most prominent sponsor is for the show.
Everyone please keep posting about this site on whatever TV sites or blogs you read, and try to get as much attention as possible!
Please everyone tell your friends to try and save this show and I will try all I can to get this website out there and make ABC aware of it. Although the fact this domain was available might not bode well.
If anyone has any better ideas or wants to help with the site or with promotion or anything please feel free to e-mail me with your ideas.
Please everyone try and do what you can and always remember...
"Is there really such a thing as too intimidating? IS THERE? TELL ME YOU LITTLE BEANCOUNTER!"
Use the Twitter Hashtags #saveted, #betteroffted, and #veridiandynamics, to promote the campaign on Twitter!
If you care to make more donations, Just go to paypal.com, create an account, and send the donations to savetedpay@gmail.com. All remaining donations will go to Haiti relief.
Keep Checking back for updates as we will be keeping track of how many signatures we get and adding other ways to get the word out!
