Saving Two Good Shows

So, two of my favorite shows are on the bubble. If you like TV that is good, feel free to join me in my efforts to save them.

Friday Night Lights: http://www.savefridaynightlights.tv/
Donate to buy mini footballs, ship them to NBC and support some sort of charity, too.

How I Met Your Mother: This doesn’t really have a campaign set up yet, so all we can do is make sure we watch the show when it returns March 17. Get your friends to watch it, too. Host a DVD viewing party at your place March 15 or 16, then send your friends home to watch the new episode. (Bonus points if any of your friends are secretly Nielsen viewers.)

Then, talk about watching the show. Blog about the episode. Go to the CBS site (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/how_i_met_your_mother/) and interact with it somehow. Digg the page, share it on facebook, anything that will show that you are there, you are watching and you care enough to keep watching next year.
