What the hell is it with Skeet Ulrich's obsessive fan base?

Here's a bit of randomness.

You remember when Skeet Ulrich finally found a good acting job - Miracles? And it got dropped like a hot potato by ABC? Well I'm sure I told you about the obsessive crusade that Miracles fans embarked on to get the show back on the air. They wrote emails, old fashioned letters, took out ads on bus billboards and in Variety magazine asking to SAVE MIRACLES. But the strangest was when people sent in loads of napkins with the words "God is Now Here" written on them and then "Save Miracles" on the back.

Well, the most it got was a release on DVD.

Poor Skeet.

Then came Jericho on CBS. The first show in... ever... that Skeet Ulrich was on that people were actually watching. A lot of people. But after the break in the fall and when it began to reair in February, less people tuned in. Ratings fell a little. But people were still watching. Then towards the end for the season finale, there was a plotline in the show where Skeet Ulrich ended up leading the townspeople of Jericho against another town (led by the leprochaun guy [from the disney movie Luck of the Irish with my other boyfriend in it] who also plays Lassiter [on that show Psych with my other, other boyfriend in it]). They were just about to have a major showdown when scraggly Lassiter asked Skeet Ulrich over a radio if he wanted to surrender before his town was crushed. Skeet's reply, "Nuts," which in the show meant "go fuck yourself." Then right before the big showdown, the episode ended, leaving the season on a cliffhanger until fall.

Which was cool. Until a week later when CBS announced that it cancelled Jericho. Funny part: Skeet Ulrich's - or I guess Jericho's - fan base did more crazy crusade things. They sent emails. They wrote letters. They did a lot. Then the president of programming at CBS posted a letter on the Jericho site thanking fans for support and told them that they would find some suitable ending to the Jericho plotline. But apparently, that didn't stop Ulrich, Inc. They started sending pounds and pounds of nuts to the CBS office. A little over 20 TONS, to be exact. And all of them say "Save Jericho."

So a few days ago, CBS prez posts another bulleton, starting with "Wow," continuing with "Jericho has been picked up as a midseason replacement for Spring 2008," and ending with "Please stop sending us nuts :)"

Now why couldn't ABC cave for Miracles? lol

Nuckin' Futs.
