Life and Vincent: In case you missed it

In case you missed it

In case you read my post on Homo Homini Lupis before Charley71 left this comment, I'm copying it in its entirely so you can act on it:

"Passing on news from the LOCI- USA board......"Though the Nielsen ratings will be the true test, I say that those who want to send a message to key NBCU executives should do so. In fact I urge you to write, for yourselves as well as the actors. If enough people (and that is, thousands) take immediate action I don't think the effort will be wasted.Bonnie HammerPresidentNBCU Cable Entertainment and Universal Cable ProductionsSnail mail address:3000 West Alameda AvenueBurbank, CA 91523-0002I suggest a short, well-composed postcard (or multiple postcards) rather than letters. Clearly state your displeasure with the decision to dump Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe and your request that the decision be reversed. Three good, focused sentences will more likely be taken seriously than a lot of scribble. Try to stay polite. Don't make threats; don't say anything bad about Jeff Goldblum. Definitely spell and grammar check before sending; and write legibly (or use a printer).A huge pile of postcards is likely to have more impact than e-mail but you can also try:bonnie.hammer@nbcuni.comYou might also send the same message to her immediate USA subordinate Jeff Gaspin, same snail mail address, and jeff.gaspin@nbcuni.com.And don't delay. Do it on Monday if not today. Also, if you post on other CI or VDO boards, you would do well to pass this information on ASAP. If Vincent D'Onofrio really has as many steadfast fans as everyone here thinks, a strong, grassroots effort should be fairly easy to mobilize. "

"Don't under estimate the power of a mailbox full of email. Being a person who gets hundreds of emails a day that I must go through. Try multiplying that ... you still have to go through them to see which ones are ones you need to read. You just can't shut off your mailbox or change your address or you risk losing business related emails."; 7:45 pm

bd fan said...: I hope they keep showing the awesome episodes of Law and Order Criminal Intent on tv and they dont take the episodes off the air. I hope they keep Vincent D'Onofrio and Karthryn Erbe as Robert Goren and Alex Eames on the air. Ive just seen them on My Network Tv, theyre on Mondays at 8 and 9 pm. I would miss seeing Vincent as Sexy Robert Goren. I love being a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio. So, Please keep Law and Order Criminal Intent on the air. Love U Vincnet D'onofrio.; 3:35 am
MYM said...: I'm still recovering from the news :( But I'm wondering if he was ready to make a change. I dunno. If he was I wish they'd just end the show and not keep it going.; 3:56 am

Anonymous said...: If anyone has an IMDB account and can share this info. on those pages I would greatly appreciate it. My account is not working. The Reel has it all posted as does the USA-LOCI board but I didn't see it on IMDB. Those pages get full so maybe start new threads on the actors pages and the LOCI page.

Any help is greatly appreciate!!; 4:24 am

I'll check "onlocation vacation", but if anyone has more info PLEASE let me know. I am off to ask (and beg and plead) with my bro to find info from friends on the force, he used to have a friend who worked in some division that had to do with issuing the permits for shooting, but think that guy isn't there anymore. DAMMITT!!!; 3:30 pm
Music Wench said...: I've done my part. Wrote USA then got the info through email and wrote to all the email addresses I could find. Still have to do the snail mail but that should be done in the next day or so.

Personally I think it's a done deal but at least Vincent will know how much his fans will miss him and how HE was the reason for LOCI's success, not the same of L&O formula - which it certainly wasn't thanks to Vincent and to Kathryn Erbe.; 3:42 pm
bd fan said...: Please tell mw this is a terrible joke and they are not taking off the air Law and Order Criminal Intent with Sexy Vincent D'onofrio and Kathryn Erbe. I would miss terribly Vincent as sexy Det. Robert Goren. Or Does this mean there wont be new episodes of Law and Order Criminal Intent with Vincent? I pray they keep sgoing the episodes on Bravo, USA Network and NBC. I just started taping the episodes since I cant find them in the stores and I dont have a credit card to order them on Amazon.com.; 5:56 pm
Eliza said...: I've sent e-mails to everyone I have addresses for..postcards go tomorrow...maybe it won't help but I feel a bit less powerless for doing it; 7:46 pm
bd fan said...: NBC will keep Law and Order SUV on the air but they take off Law and Order C.I. I hope to god that dont happen. I fell in love with Vincents character as Sexy Det. Robert Goren in the 1st episode: " One " and now u guys will take my BABY away from me. I ve cried when Bobbys mom passed away and his brother Frank was killed by Bobbys mentor, Bobby wasnt the same after they both died. SO, PLEASE DONT TAKE AWAY MY BABY N THE GREATEST DETECTIVE IN THE WORLD, Thanks. I LOVE U VINCENT D'ONOFRIO AS SEXY DET. ROBERT GOREN.; 4:17 am
