Save Terra Nova with Dinosaurs

Save Terra Nova with Dinosaurs

Terra Nova star Jason O’Mara is asking fans to #saveterranova by sending plastic dinosaurs to Fox, saying:

“If you want to address your package of little plastic dinosaurs to somebody at Fox, send them to president of the network. He’s a good guy so keep it friendly please. Mr Kevin Reilly, Fox Broadcasting Co, PO BOX 900, Beverly Hills, CA 90213.”

Terra Nova is an expensive production and its ratings have been low. Rumor has it that the well received, and much cheaper, Alcatraz will replace Terra Nova so long as its ratings hold up. Overseas Terra Nova is a much bigger success, which may be the only reason it hasn’t already been canceled.

Past fan efforts have saved other shows from extinction, with the prime example being the post-apocalyptic drama Jericho. Cancelled after its first season, fans flooded the network with peanuts (a reference to a line at the end of the season ending episode) and a surprised CBS revived it for a seven episode second season. Although critical reviews were positive, the ratings were worse than ever and the show was again given the axe.

O’Mara is also asking fans to create viral buzz for the effort by using the #saveterranova tag in their Twitter posts.
