I had never heard of GF until yesterday when I read about it here.

I have now watched it 3 times in a row and perused the blogs, fansite and author sites.

I had no idea Warner Brothers could be as stupid as Fox!

This is a great concept! I love Michelle Forbes, have for years and the other 3 main actors really meshed well.

The only thing I didn't like - the controller's title should be pronounced "Ah-leph", not "Ay-leph"

"I like simple answers and have an eleveated capacity for violence"

Is there any hope?

I see this was also Slashdotted last week, Tues the 28th.

I read somewhere that the creator of Global Frequency had set up a meeting with the WB, because his web site was receiving an extra 10,000 hits per week since the pilot was leaked on to the net, to see if they would be interested in releasing the pilot on DVD and if successful maybe picking it up as a series.

I, like many others, sent John Rogers an email after seeing the pilot. Today, I got back this message (which appears to be a form letter), and a personalized message. I'm going to post just the form letter here.

"Yes, yes, another form-ish letter. Sorry, but the numbers of e-mails for GF have completely overwhelmed me -- but I feel I owe you for taking your time out to write. It's time we stopped treating the audience as a metric, and started building the relationships with theim we need in the new media. Showed them -- you -- some respect.

Right now, things are particularly crazy at Kung Fu Monkey, finishing a script and prepping for a trip to the San Diego Comic-Con. (Watch the blog for when we finalize a time for a KFM hook-up)

But if you're getting this, you dropped me a nice letter about Global Frequency at some point. First off, thanks so much for taking the time to let me know how you felt about the show. I've conveyed everyone's enthusiasm to the cast and crew, and they're all floored.

With this unexpected interest in the show, I'm doing my damndest to get some form of DVD release, Internet release, or even continuation, of Global Frequency going by negotiating with the official channels. At the same time, the growing feedback and mainstream press attention really help the case.

If you could, please check in over at FrequencySite.com in the next few days for an e-mail address or two, where you can let the
powers-that-be know how you felt about the show. Fifteen seconds, just letting the guys in suits know that you'd be interested in buying the pilot or a boxed set, will help convince them that this would be worth their while.

I believe Craig will also be posting some e-mail addresses/ideas for more mainstream press coverage. Every little bit of buzz helps.

Thanks for taking your time to contact us, and hope everything's cool in whatever corner of the globe you're at.

Right now FrequencySite.com has the following suggestions...

" * E-mail Entertainment Weekly - ew_letters@ew.com. EW is a Time-Warner company, and it's also one of the most highly-read entertainment mags out there. This is really our first recommendation. Beyond that, we can go from there.
* E-mail the tech reporter of your local daily paper, or a gaming/tech magazine, and tell them the story of a TV show with a fan base that at this point only exists on P2P.
* Drop by your favorite forums and spread the word! The more buzz, the better!
* Send these folks to Frequencysite. Or to producer John Rogers' blog (kfmonkey.blogspot.com) which has had a lot of coverage of the pilot's appeal. Spread the word about the fan efforts."

So, Browncoats, I ask even if you haven't seen the pilot, send off an email to EW or spread the word any way you can. We Browncoats are already on the ground floor of the TV revolution, let's step it up a notch.

"You are on the Global Frequency."
