Write a letter (part 2)
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 | 56 commentsTonight I received this email from Michael Schur, writer and co-executive producer of The Office:
Hey tanster,
Saw this somewhere and thought TallyHeads might be into it.
This site, Firedoglake, has made it really easy to send emails to the companies on behalf of specific shows. I’d encourage them not only to do it for The Office, but for any show on any network they like and want to see come back.
Constant pressure on the networks is having an effect — and on advertisers, too. At least one large national company is considering pulling ads from shows because of pressure from consumers. (Unconfirmed but there’ve been a lot of rumors.)
Anyway, thought this might be something good for the site … as always, thanks.
If you wrote and sent a letter the first time around, you are a-w-e-s-o-m-e. Now it’s time to do it again. Tell those network execs to get back to the negotiating table!
Do it for The Office. Do it for Mose.
I’m sending a second round of letters, but the website is really slow on my computer!
i sent one for The Office and The Colbert Report
I have/am been/are a writer. I know how difficult it is to constantly chase editors for money after my work has been published. And, it is damn difficult to make any kind of money in this business.
I’m for writers under ANY conditions. From my admittedly limited experience, sack and pillage the money-bags to the conference table and squeeze them til their eyes pop out on their cheeks. I’ll watch re-runs til the cows come home.

I sent a TON. This strike needs to be OVER.
I sent over 20, hopefully this will help!
i sent a letter for each show that i watch, one for each show that i have watched once or twice, and one for each show that i think might be a good show to watch! most for the office though. i miss my thursday night ritual.. :-(
Just sent my letter for Office and will do one for 30 Rock as well. I can’t wait for the day I open up this page and see “AMPTP collapse, give in to Writers”
that would be amazing :D
Very cool website. I’ll have to spread the word about that one.
This is so convenient! I sent one of The Office and I’m planning on sending more.
I sent one for The Office and one for Battlestar Galactica. Hope this helps!
Too easy not to do it. Sent.
Thanks for making it so easy. I just sent one for all my favorite shows. It is just depressing without new episodes of The Office!
Oh thank god… I was waiting for something like this! I’m spreading the word to everyone I know!
I sent one on behalf of Conan, King of the Hill, Simpsons, The Office, Chuck, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Hi Tanster,
I checked out firedoglake and like the letter, but didn’t see any listing of the address it’s being sent to. Who exactly will get it? Also, do you have any info about advertisers we could write to?
Thanks for the link. And thanks Firedoglake for making it so easy to help! (I sent letters for The Office—natch, 30 Rock, and Weeds.) I’m planning to send letters everyday until the writers get their due.
Sending one for all of the emails I have and then spreading it around. :)
Done and done. I love Mike!
I can not imagine them scrapping the season - it hurts me to think about it.
I sent two letters to NBC early November, and I just fired off numerous emails for The Office and other good shows.
Hehe, yay, something to make us more a-w-e-s-o-m-e!!
