Hey Dave, thanks for the great write up on October Road. Have you checked our comments lately? We are rockin!! You have NO IDEA how many of us loyal fans are really out there. We are really hoping the powers that be see this and seriously think "Hey, maybe October Road is one to renew!".

Please help us keep October Road on the air!

We are hopping that we can get ABC to change their minds about October Road. It is a great show and I believe that they never promoted on advertising it enough. I believe that ABC is missing the boat if they get rid of it. There are a huge amount of supporters out there. Please take a look at our different sites by looking on the October Road blog. Please we need a 3rd season!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check it! Please help us keep October Road on the air. It is absolutely the best thing out there. Come hang out with us in the Ridge - our message board is ROCKIN'

[Please bring October Road back]

I don't enjoy many of the reality shows, I've lost interest in rich, hot doctors, housewives and lawyers and I cannot stomach the crime, rape dramas. I do enjoy plain old October Road though.

Hey Dave! I'll bet you never expected to get this kind of response when you decided to do a write up on October Road! Thanks for writing about the show. We Roadies love it and will do anything to save it. OBVIOUSLY!

[Cindy]

Dave, thanks so much for your "Holy Cats!" comment, we needed to know that our hard work is getting noticed! October Road has made an enormous impact on its fans, and we Roadies are doing everything we can think of to convince ABC to keep the show. Feel free to pass along any other encouraging comments, we need to keep the morale high among the troops! Long Live October Road!!!

[Lissie]

Hey Dave, your column is great, and your write up after the finale of October Road was spot on. I'm glad to know you are a true fan. Maybe together we can "Save October Road!"

[Darla]

You know we applied for SuperNanny to help us out. We had a producer show up and shoot some footage and never heard from them again! I thought oh lord this almost has to be a joke or maybe they finally found a family (ours) that they figured out they couldn't help. Sad but true. Makes you wonder and it will always leave a bad taste in my mouth about the show because now I believe it's a big joke.

[Stacey]

Please help us save the only show on TV that people can actually relate to - October Road! Get rid of reality TV and all of the other garbage that is on nowadays. Thanks!

[gine]

Thanks, Dave. October Road is a great show!

[Marcia]

Any other ideas Dave thanks for the support for October Road. WE want to save such a good show.

Dave,
October road is a great show! it has all the story filled characters and the drama that keeps a series going. Kudos to the writers for going all out in the season finale- it was absolutely perfect. It was touching and warmfelt. even those that strayed a bit tuned in for the season finale and were impressed. can't wait for its return! If it keeps down the same path it went down during the finale, the shows a great shot to gain a huge fan base. (drama + hometown+ true friends+fun+a hint of wholesome+ family= great show)
ABC- bring it back!!! I

This is by far my favorite show. I love the music and everything about this show. Who ever picks the music really knows how to tug at our heart strings. It would be very sad to see this show canceled. It is on a bit late, perhaps an earlier time slot would help ABC.

Please help to keep the show on. This is my Grey's Anatomy.....I don't even watch that show anymore. This is the only good show and the only reason I even turn on the tv. Please!!!!!

Hopefully once October Road slips into its certainly well-deserved cancellation someone might actually post relevant comments here.
