So as we reach around a year since the second-season premiere of So Help Me Todd things might feel dire and its chances low and its absence palpable. But remember how far we've come in all this time, how much steam this movement has built and how shows have come back from the seemingly-dead before.
Even though it's been this long we should still keep doing what we've been doing to fight for this , as it truly shows the persistence of the fandom if the powers-that-be-in-charge-of-the-decision see we're still as active as we were even after all this time. And that includes everything from just spreading this petition around to letter/postcard writing to boycotts (but only of Poppa's House, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Matlock, NCIS: Origins, NCIS: Sydney and Watson as my sources say that only the shows that premiered this season (and not, say, Tracker or Elsbeth) were the ones Paramount was committing the potential fraud to promote, the success of NCIS: Sydney was what inspired them to do that and Watson furthered the life-imitates-art by stealing Susan's actress the way Beverly "stole" Susan in S2).
As for where we go from here, last I heard my sources were still looking into the ratings fraud (as as I said in a previous update they didn't phrase their claim in the definite, and now to add insult to injury there's these current scandals with YouTube TV and with Paramount pausing various awards shows so their higher-ups can continue to make money after dumping so much money into the over-advertising of this year's aforementioned class of new CBS shows) and perhaps if there's grounds that could lead to a class-action lawsuit that we might be able to get them to bring the show back if we win
I swear so help me Todd I am not just wanting this battle for the show's return to end up being fought in the courtroom because that furthers the cool parallel with its story and what'd be saved in-story by giving it the more story to save it, I genuinely do think somebody needs to face some consequences from this
