January 24, 1996: The NATPE 7 Strike Las Vegas

from This Week In Fandom History · host V. Arrow, Emily Jaye

Get in position! This week, Emily and V look at one of the most impressive fan campaigns that we've ever covered on the show, and we also got to revisit one of our favorite fandoms to cover: Forever Knight. When FK was canceled mid-season in 1996, the fandom scrambled to cover all bases and make sure USA Network knew that these vampires needed their day in the sun. So to speak. What ensued was a bold takeover of the NATPE (National Association of Television Program Executives, aka TPTB's bosses' bosses) conference in Las Vegas. The tale is delightful. Those seven ladies were seven Nick Furies, only with a deep love for Canadian vampire cops. Have you ever been part of a fannish campaign to save a show? Let us know!
