Ouch!  What's wrong with those people?

I notice that there are petitions to save the show floating around along 
with a petition to fire Bob Greenblatt, the Showtime executive that made 
the decision to pull the plug.  That's an interesting tactic.  But with 
only 110 signees as of this morning I'm sure it won't have any effect. 
Apparently Greenblatt had a personal dislike of the series that sparked his 
decision even though Showtime's president was a fan. That petition (poorly 
done, as is the case with most online petitions that I've seen ) is here: 
http://www.petitiononline.com/obg2136/petition.html

Apparently there is some hope for the series, though I'd say it's a long 
shot. MGM is shopping it to Sci Fi (which I'm sure won't pick it up) and to 
the WB, which TV Guide says is considering it.  I'm not sure that DLM is a 
great fit for the WB's schedule, though with a few changes there might be 
some synergy in a two hour block that also includes Charmed. (I'm not sure 
how Charmed has managed to survive so many seasons...)
