Dresden Files 2hr Storm Front & View-In March 8th!!!

Thanks to our efforts, on this Saturday morning, March 8th at 3 a.m. ET US Sci-Fi is airing the long awaited and much anticipated 2hr version of the Dresden File's Storm Front!!

We WILL be holding a View-In on the scifi.com Dresden Files Forum during the airing and we MUST have an extremely great showing! The Nielsen numbers - if they even cover this time period - aren't going to reflect the actual viewership. Sci-Fi DOES keep track of forum traffic, so this is our chance to show how dedicated a viewership the Dresden Files really has and EVERYONE who wants to see a Season 2 MUST log on to the forum and make their presence known.

We've been having fun with the View-Ins, but this time is crucial. This is the LAST time we fans will have before the Upfront to impress the Execs with our numbers and with our dedication to see Season 2+ of the series. We cannot let Sci-Fi's miserable scheduling plan cause us to fail.

Every single person counts!

Melodramatic? Maybe, but it’s still a fact that each of us has this chance to pitch in and make a difference.

Be heard. Be at the View-In on March 8th 3 am ET.

Happy Holidays to all Dresden Files Viewers and Fans!


I'm a little late, but I hope everyone had a wonderful, joyous Holiday!!




I have to admit that it gives me a warm sense of pleasure to see so many Dresden Files viewers still active and not only supporting this fantastic series but also standing up for their right to be respected as customers!

Even with Christmas just days away, viewers and fans still took time out of their busy schedules to join the Dresden Files DVD View-In on December 21st - THANK YOU everyone!!!

We all watched our Season 1 DVD's with Episode 10 - What About Bob winning the Poll to be the episode we watched. We all had a blast with pics posted and plenty of comments shared on this excellent episode!


Murphy orders Harry's Uncle Justin to be exhumed and autopsied, then has to be a little firm with a very, albiet understandably, upset Harry.




An extremely anxious Harry finally receives word of where to find the missing Bob.



SUCH an amazing episode - most definitely one of my Favorites!!

This series is full of excellent episodes!! That's why the Dresden Files is such an excellent series - every single episode is expertly written, acted, and produced! I can't help but believe that common sense - along with a love of profit, of course - will win out and result in a renewall of the Dresden Files in 2008!

Last Scheduled Dresden Files Episode of 2007

Sit-In: A form of peaceful protest where protesters sit in an appropriate place and refuse to move.

December 7th is the LAST scheduled repeat episode of the Dresden Files for 2007. Now is THE time for a truly massive, full-scale virtual Sit-In to protest the Dresden Files' non-renewal!

SO for the last time in 2007:

ALL Dresden Files fans are to converge on
the
scifi.com/Dresden Forum on December 7th at 6:45 PM ET for a full-scale Dresden Files View-In! Please, do not rely on others to be there - EVERYONE is needed!

NOTE: For new scifi.com forum users, it's a good idea to create an account a few days early so you'll be able to post.

We know that the Sci-Fi Channel keeps track of the 'traffic' the site receives
. So let's show them the power of the Dresden Files fans and the magic of Harry & Bob!!

This is our last chance in 2007 to actually get to watch the Dresden Files on TV while we laugh, have fun, and trade comment posts with fellow fans, and most importantly, show the Sci-Fi Channel execs and the media, by the SHEER NUMBER of us logged on and posting, that the Dresden Files IS loved & supported by a HUGE fanbase and will continue to be so during Season 2+!!!

The Dresden Files needs ALL its fans with Internet access to come and support the fight!

TGIF!!!

Well, it's finally here: Friday, November 16th!!!

I have to say that I was disappointed, though not surprised, that I didn’t get to see Harry, Bob, and Murphy back on TV last Friday, 11/9. The first TDF View-In was successful, and gave us an idea of what to expect for this week, but I was really looking forward to seeing the Dresden Files on the tube, you know?

And yes, I still have a TV with a tube, so the old slang still works for me. By the time I’ll be able to get one of the nifty, huge, flatscreen HD TV’s, holographic TV’s will have been invented. :D

I’m excited about tonight, and a little nervous...

We have such busy lives, most of us, that finding time to sit still for an hour on someone else’s schedule is very difficult. But while TiVo may, DVR won't make any contribution to tonight’s TDF View-In. Fans will have to be at their computers in person and logged on and watching the show in order to make a contribution to this protest/celebration. I hope tons of fans are informed and motivated enough to stay in for a while on this Friday night to support the series.

I guess we’ll all find out in 2 hours and 30 minutes…

Round 2: Full-Scale Dresden Files View-In - Nov. 16th!!

Full-scale TDF View-In – November 16th!!


Sit-In: A form of peaceful protest where protesters sit in an appropriate place and refuse to move.

As we know, Sci-Fi's posted schedule was incorrect and the Dresden Files did NOT air on November 9th, but the View-In was a big success with 252 comments posted in 1-1/2 hours!!!

On November 16th, as supported by all the media TV schedules, the Sci-Fi Channel is finally airing the first repeat of the Dresden Files since the end of Season 1 - it's time to form our own full-scale peaceful protest of the Dresden Files' non-renewal!

Since we fans are scattered across the country and the world, our only option for a Sit-In is a virtual one,


SO once again:

ALL Dresden Files fans are invited, encouraged, and requested to converge on the scifi.com/Dresden Forum on November 16th at 6:45 PM ET for a full-scale Dresden Files View-In!

NOTE: For new scifi.com forum users, it's a good idea to create an account a few days early so you'll be able to post.

We may not have Nielsen boxes, but Sci-Fi is paid for ads posted on their website, and therefore keeps track of the 'traffic' the site receives. So let's show them the power of the Dresden Files fans and the magic of Harry & Bob!!


This View-In we'll actually get to watch the episode while we laugh and have fun, trade comment posts with fellow fans, and most importantly show the Sci-Fi Channel execs and the media, by the SHEER NUMBER of us logged on and posting, that the Dresden Files IS loved & supported by a HUGE fanbase and will continue to be so during Season 2+!!!


I hope to 'see' an even LARGER crowd this Friday - and get this: Sci-Fi is airing commercials!!!


Digg!

November 9th Dresden Files View-In Results

The Sci-Fi Channel's website has had the Dresden Files scheduled for November 9th and 16th since October, so we trusted them to know what they were going to show on their own station.


But it didn't happen. Sci-Fi did NOT air the Dresden Files on November 9th.
But that's OK because the View-In went on as planned and was GREAT!!
In 1-1/2 hours attendees posted over 252 messages!! Spectacular numbers for a forum that has been averaging about 8 posts per day since we abandoned it after finding out about the non-renewal!

AWESOME folks!!! Meet us all back there next week - November 16 for another TDF View-In!!!

Dresden Files View-In - November 9th, 6:45 pm ET!!

TDF View-In – November 9th!!

Sit-In:
A form of peaceful protest where protesters sit in an appropriate place and refuse to move.

On November 9th, the Sci-Fi Channel is airing the first repeats of the Dresden Files since the end of Season 1 – this is our opportunity to form our own peaceful protest of the Dresden Files’ non-renewal!

Since we’re scattered across the country and the world, we can’t hold a Sit-In in one location – unless we do it VIRTUALLY!!

SO:

ALL Dresden Files fans are hereby invited/encouraged/requested to converge on the
Dresden Forum on scifi.com on Nov. 9th at 6:45 PM ET for a Dresden Files View-In!

Sci-Fi Channel is paid by companies advertising on their website, and therefore keeps track of the ‘traffic’ the site receives. So let’s show them the
power of the Dresden Files fans and the magic of Harry & Bob!!

We’ll watch the episode, laugh and have fun, trade comment posts with fellow fans, and most importantly – show the Sci-Fi Channel execs and the media, by the SHEER NUMBER of us logged on and posting, that the Dresden Files IS loved & supported by a HUGE fanbase and will continue to be so during Season 2+!!!

I hope to ‘see’ everyone there – and tell your friends & family!
