Does anyone have a mailing address for HBO?

Wow, I've got nothing on the HBO address so far. I'll keep trying though. How is everyone getting on with the letter writing? Does anyone have any thoughts regarding the SciFi network? It seems that they would be the most logical choice for a new home for FF but surely fans have made appeals to them already, right? Or hasn't anybody tried for SciFi yet?

Sci-fi channel is likely the best bet, as they love producing stuff that is nowhere else; and they seem to have a pretty good track record at finding what people like. (As a number of their shows have been around for many seasons.)
I'm bored, so I'll look to dig up something. Stand by for more info on that.

Gorramnit..
From the Sci-fi channels FAQ page....
I have a great idea for a show. How do I submit ideas?
SCI FI does not accept unsolicited material. We only accept submissions/pitches from distributors, producers, agents, talent with representation, etc. This is to protect both the Channel and the individual with the idea.
So I guess letters from us to Sci-fi are a no-go.... Unless we can covince a distrobutor/producer/agent ect to do it for us.

I took that to mean they din't want people sending in ideas for new, original shows that haven't been done yet. They don't want to be sued every time they make a new show, by someone who says they emailed that idea to them 10 years ago.
Sci-Fi Channel got a letter from me just saying how much I appreciate their recent airing of the first season of Firefly, asking them to do it again, reminding them the Firefly fan base is still growing, suggesting (politely) I'd be their slave forever if they pick up a new season. You know, stuff like that. I think they like that.
Browncoats, some of us anyways, ain't above brown-nosing when it's called for.

I'm starting my letter writing campaign next week. I'm just curious though, has anyone here ever received a reply from an email or snail mail on this? I've written lots of things but no one has ever seemed to notice. Anyone else had better luck. Hopefully something like: "We're getting right on that. Forigive our transgression of ignoring the show this long." But if not, a simple "Hey, we got your letter" thing would be nice to hear.

I haven't gotten a direct reply, but hey, some of the original fans wrote letters and stuff and got us a big damn movie. So I s'pose someone out there really is getting our letters and reading them, even if they don't write back.

I think that Re-light Firefly is brill! Seriously though, it's catchy, interesting enough that it sticks in the mind, and it's short and to the point. I'll be adding it to all my letters from now on. Fantastic idea BrownCoatRecruiter!

I will try and get a couple letters out this week. I am a newbie but hooked. Handwritten will be difficult but worth it.
Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly
coming to a middle.
