Hi guys, I am sorry for my absence the last 2 weeks, we had internet trouble here and we were living like in the dark ages... As Netflix newsletters have come out with no mention of Grimm, and nothing on their website, in the media centre, about upcoming shows, I have sent an email to Reed Hastings, who is the CEO of Netflix. The email I sent was this: ****************************** Dear Reed, I am writing to you as your customer and big fan of the show Grimm. There are a few petitions out there asking different Networks, but I chose Netflix because you have saved shows before, because you have the budget to keep a show like this going, keep it faithful to its origins and take it to its full potential. We have now passed 7K signatures and have kept track of your announcements, but nothing has been said so far, not a single peep. The signees would very much like to know if you are at least considering it. We are of course aware of rights and contracts and that this is not a decision that can be made in a split second. By now you have received thousands of requests via your website. See the petition here http://bit.ly/NetflixSaveGrimmUpdate5K NBC had already decided to tank the show after S4, it took them a long time to confirm the renewal and the storyline in S5, along with the timeslot they gave the show, shot it right into their trash can. Would you be able to please give us an indication? Yay or Nay? Nothing was mentioned in your newsletter and no sign in your media centre either. I strongly feel that the show deserves saving and that it would be in better hands at Netflix. Kindly advise if we can do anything at all, for example how many signatures would it take? How many requests on your website? Thank you very much. warm regards ************************* If you want to email him as well, feel free to do so. BUT PLEASE be kind and respectful, we do not know all the things involved in such a decision, and we don't want to upset him. ;-) I am not sure what else I can do. Rebekka
