As much as I love AtS, I have to admit that the show right now would be closer to its natural end than to the beginning. Even if the WB hadn't cancelled it prematurely this year, it probably would only have another year or two left. For that reason alone, I doubt the NBC rumour. Why would they pick up a show that will probably end soon anyway? Also, AtS doesn't fit their standard cop/lawyer/doctor format (well, OK - evil lawyers - OK, it totally fits the lawyer show format).
I'd love it to be true (because I would love to see what ME would do if they were able to wrap it up on their own terms), but I have to expect that it's just a mean, nasty rumour started to get our cold, dead hearts pumping again before finally being staked once and for all.

There is a ton of chatter about a Spike spinoff, or a DVD only release of S6. The latter seems like a fantasy because without income from advertising, a show like this is almost inconceivable.
Except that most networks make the majority of their cash from a series from pre-arranged deals for DVD releases, overseas showings and so forth. The supposed "big advertising revenue" income is a drop in the ocean compared to all that.

I just saw the head of NBC tv giving an interview on a cable news channel. He said something about making a special effort to "give the viewers what they want". Of course, he didn't say anything specifically about AtS, and he was probably just spewing the usual platitudes that the network suits give during interviews. However, if there's a grain of truth to what he said, it might be worth it to do the postcard sending thing again. It probably won't accomplish anything, but at least we'll be letting the NBC guys know "what the viewers want".

Hmm...I wouldn't mind that it's on NBC really. But it would be plain good that at least SOMEBODY picks them up.
How soon/late was the response to Buffy being on UPN? B/c near Fall season I remember seeing commericials again about Buffy.
But yes, this is weird seeing as how nobody didn't want them at first.
I should probably look up Buffy news...:/

This got me thinking. Buffyverse shows are huge in england and have found sucsess in europe. Does the neilson ratings reflect overseas? I would imagine a show would get a whole other set of advertizing revenue for overseas products. Hmmm.
