JACKED
Man, did you get the short end of the big ABC stick! Why on earth would they take the time to hire you, a hugely successful writer/producer for "The X-Files," develop the concept, then shove you into the most god awful time slot possible and give you only six episodes to make an impact? What if Fox had a similiar attitude with "X-Files?" Then one of the greatest shows ever would have never been.
If there's any satisfaction in the knowledge you put six great shows on the air, well, oh crap, there's absolutely no satisfaction in any of that nonsense. You got jacked! Hopefully, the next great idea you come up with you will pitch to Fox, WB or UPN, or better yet, a cable network (only 13 episodes a year) who all would most likely give your show all it really needed -- time to succeed. In fact, I'll hope for a miracle... you'll quickly pitch "Night Stalker" to one of those entities before your cast and crew scatter to the four winds.

Any chance you could bring the show over to Sci-Fi Channel? I bet they would go for it! I'm figuring you are getting inundated with e-mail about the cancellation, so that proves right there you had a loyal following. I hope you can get the TV series onto DVD, even if it is only 9 or 10 shows. Millions of people are left hanging now, arrrrgh! Dont give up -- I wouldn't!

I was really looking forward to seeing the episode that Mira Furlan was in (as Marlene Shields in "Timeless," Episode 9). From the way she described it, it sounded like it would have been a really interesting show. From what she said at the con I was at this past weekend, her experience with the show was a very positive and enjoyable one.
Is there any chance that "Night Stalker" will be released on DVD? I know this is a short run for a DVD set these days, even if the finished but unaired episodes were included, but I'm hoping. If it ever is and the 9th episode is included, I'd be happy to help get the word out to all of Mira's fans. And I'd definitely be buying at least one set.

I just found out about the cancellation of "Night Stalker" (without even airing Part 2 of the story), so I'd like to add my congratulations to you on a fine series and voice my repeated frustration with ABC for scheduling excellent shows ("Night Stalker," "Murder One," "Vengeance Unlimited," "Cracker," to name a few) on Thursday nights (easily the most competitive night of the week) and not giving them the chance to thrive.
Any chance of taking the show to the Sci-Fi Channel? Quite honestly, they need some quality over there right about now.
Although only for a short time thanks to some very shortsighted people (was Jamie Tarses hired back perhaps?), you gave me something to look forward to watching on Thursday nights.

I am so sorry ABC cancelled the show - it was one of the new season's best, genuinely creepy, well-written, well-acted, with such promise - thank you for an excellent reimagining of an old favorite. Is there any chance another network would pick the show up? That unaired episodes will be aired or otherwise available? If there is a petition website, please let me know. Thanks for the hours of entertainment you gave me.
