Dear Supernatural Family,
The MacGyver fandom is in need of your help. CBS has cut season four down significantly and the show isn’t returning until 2020 instead of this fall. We fear cancellation is on the horizon.
In addition to weak promoting, they’ve never shown reruns in the US and MacGyver can’t even benefit from gaining new audience from Netflix, because CBS is keeping it locked up behind it’s own streaming site.
If you’ve been with the SPNFamily for as long as I have, you know how hard we had to fight to keep the show on the air those first few seasons. The SPNFamily knows what it’s like to be the underdog, to be cast to the side and an afterthought to the network. We also know how to lift each other up and fight for what we love.
MacGyver is about never giving up, no matter the odds, but the core of the show is about the team as a family. With this in mind, I ask, if you’re willing and able, to join us for Operation Improvise on Sept 27th 8pm ET-10pm ET October 4th 8pm ET - 9pm ET by helping us make #MacGyver trend and be noticed.
Maybe you’ve never heard of MacGyver and your interest is piqued. Or maybe you’ve checked the show out and found it just wasn’t your thing. (Admittedly, IMHO the first half of season one was rough. Of course, it could have been because I was comparing it to the original and wanted it to fail. I’ve come far, yes?) Regardless, if you would like to help, *insert Sammy’s puppy eyes* you can do so by simply retweeting/liking/etc tweets with #MacGyver during Operation Improvise. This would not only help #MacGyver to trend, it would also help expose it to more potential viewers.
MacGyver is not without it’s flaws, but ye gods, the heart the actors put into each and every episode is palpable. (Honest to goodness, there was no pun intended there.)
The plea is unusual, I realize. If MacGyver (OG and Reboot) has taught me anything, it’s to think outside of the box. I think asking one fandom to help save another qualifies :) Unless Rowena would like to cook somethin’ up....
I know, we’ve all lost shows that we love, and MacGyver may not even be on the chopping block. If it is, though, this may be our chance to save it–not only for the fans, but for the actors/crew.
Will you stand with us, wayward sons and daughters?
On September 27th October 4th H50 and Magnum PI return for their new seasons. If you watch and love the shows, support them: tweet, retweet, etc, about them. But also on September 27th October 4th from 8pm ET– 9pm ET (or as long as you can keep your eyes open and your tweets tweeting), lets collectively express our love for MacGyver. Not only to remind CBS that we’re still here, we’re still waiting and we want our show back, but to show others why MacGyver is worth keeping around. Let’s be heard.
Keep it positive. There’s enough ugly in the world. Tweet about your favorite moments, favorite fanart or your own fanworks, why you love the show, or how it’s impacted your life. Tweet, retweet and so on, making sure to use the hashtag #MacGyver as you do.
So, if you’re willing and able, raise your paperclips and pie and join me for Operation Improvise on September 27!
October 4th 8pm ET on Twitter for another round! We did well on Sept 27th (Thank you!) compared to others that had season premiers. I still believe we can get #MacGyver to trend!
Retweet and reblog at will. The more people this reaches, the better chance MacGyver has at trending on Twitter!
Thank you for reading. I hope to ‘see’ you there! :)
Peace, love, paperclips and pie,
dragonfly
