ABC Family: moonwatcher79 A GREAT IDEA TO HELP WITH KYLE XY REVIVAL (##NEW##Details inside!!!)

A GREAT IDEA TO HELP WITH KYLE XY REVIVAL (##NEW##Details inside!!!)

Hi everyone!
I know this sounds a bit strange; to start another campaign while two others are running already. But trust me; if all goes well, all three campaigns will add up to saving the show. God Willling Smiling

This was originally Prophet's idea(also known as Tibby xy at KyleXY(dot)net). She posted a thread about it a couple of weeks ago. But unfortunately, we were all so busy to tend to this new idea that the thread soon died away before anyone got a chance to know well about it

The idea is to convince the Alamo Draft House Theatre to host a marathon event for season one of Kyle XY. That way we could gather more supporters and draw the attention of the networks to us at the same time. Imagine, we can send invitations to the cast of the show to sign autographs after the screening.
Here's the link to Prophet's thread to know more about how the idea came to be:
http://community.abcfamily.go.com/forums/shows/kyle-xy/interesting-dirct...

So what we need to do now is to make the guys at aintitcool(dot)com interested enough to post a request in their blog for Kyle XY screening. Also; we need to email the Theatre execs about it, perhaps they will listen to our plee.

The good news is that Prophet actually emailed them and they told her to wait for a reply in October... We have to show them guys how important it is to us.

Here's a draft of what you can write to them:
My name is (write your name here!) It has come to my attention that the films and other entertainment materials that are screened at your theatres win more fan base than they had originally generated when they were first presented on the silver screen; for example, Monster Squad by the director Fred Dekker.

Back in 1987 the film was aired on the silver screen for only two weeks with a mere total profits of a little above 3 million dollars while its popularity was down by 53%. After it was reintroduced to the audiance at your theatre in April 2006, a DVD release was issued that became and remained a best seller at Amazon(dot)com since the date of its release in October 7 2007. And finally, a remake of the movie is in the production process by Robert Cohen.

I was hoping that you might consider doing the same thing for a show called Kyle XY. This awesome show was canceled due to very ambiguous reasons. One of them was not having the fan base needed to make it stay on the air.

The show is family orientated with a touch of science fiction, comedy and romance. It discusses family issues and values as well as teenage problems in a non violent and non graphical context which makes it fit for all ages.

The story begins when a sixteen year old boy walks out of the woods with no clothes on, no memory of who he is or where he is from and unable to communicate. A psychologist decides to take him home to her family to try to help him remember his past but ultimately the family all “fall in love” with this innocent child who is learning everything from the taste and need for food, to being able to fall asleep. In a compelling plot, the viewer follows Kyle as he discovers the truth about himself, about humanity and what utterly makes us all human.

We are hoping that you will consider a one or more day marathon event of Season One. Kyle XY is truly a one of a kind show that appeals to all ages. From the opening dialog which sets up the plot to the incredible, always appropriate music, to the ending dialog with its always great message, this show deserves another chance to win the fans it should have been able to when it was on ABC Family. We also would love to attract another major network who would consider picking it up and continuing the stories of Kyle XY.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter.

So, what do you think guys? Can we pull this off?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, it's been decided guys that a mass mailing to the Alamo draft house theatre will be in effect. The date is NOV the 27th right after Kelly's mass mailing. The emails addresses will be posted on a thread similar to this one in KyleXY (dot) net in TEAM WRITE ON later this week! Happy mailing everyone Smiling

My video for this campaign is up and you can see it Smiling

I've tried that "change watch?v=KrmKAK26GLg to v/KrmKAK26GLg," but it doesn't work anymore. I've also tried the google video translator (english to english used to work), but it doesn't work anymore. The best thing I've found (without changing the video) is going through a German proxy.... Here is the link to more info:

Bad news.... I've posted my video on youtube but apparently there is some sort of copyright infringement with the song I chose. It's telling me that the ONLY people that can't watch the video are the ones who live in the united states (I know, I wish they said Argentina or something, but no.... U.S.).

I can remove the video and change the song, but It took me a long time (relatively) to match the music with the clip, and I need to stay on top of my other activities (which means I have even less time to dedicate to make another video or to finding a song that matches) Sad

I'll update when I have fixed the issue.......

However, there is another way around this.....

Bump for Moon

Also, I'm kind of swamped right now with a variety of different things, but I'm still working on the video (mostly at the late ours of the night), so I hope to finish the video before the next twitter campaign (hopefully sooner, but time will tell).

Again, BUMP Moon Smiling

I’ve made another video (I couldn’t start on videos for other campaigns because I have something in my mind that I need to say!!!!)…. So I said it in the video.

Please understand, the video is NOT Recommended For Children (it has a Mature Theme) because it contains language that may be disturbing or incomprehensible to minors. In other words, the video is nothing but an outlet that contains coarse language and crude content so that I may express what I feel like saying to the executives at ABC Family that canceled Kyle XY.

If you are of age (what’s the recommended age for mature videos? 17?) then go to youtube and type: “Kyle XY and ABC Family” on the search bar. [Type WITH the quotes]

However, and I can’t stress this enough, if you have issues with profanity, DO NOT look at the video! Don’t complain that the video is “inappropriate!” I feel that I’ve exercised all due diligence to avoid any of these comments… so if you easily get offended, please exercise some restraint and don’t watch the video (for all you other viewers…. Enjoy!)

Also, for those who haven’t seen the previous video (or for those who wish to see it again), please type: “Why YOU should save Kyle XY” [either with or without quotes…. This one makes no difference. My Id is painintheauss on Youtube (just in case you have trouble finding the videos)]. And, you may see this posted on a lot of different threads... I want to maximize exposure, please forgive the Inconvenience.

I know some of you are tired of seeing my posts, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm sending in "save Kyle XY" visual aid with the letters, I figured that someone may want to do the same (I'm adding instructions to my video with my letter, but I feel that a picture will get the reader more interested in reading letters... especially if they haven't seen the show).

I asked moon already, she gave me the go-ahead to send the Postcards/Flyers (I had to ask since I didn't make them).

Thanks Bill! Do you have any suggestions for this campaign?

blackbiLL's picture

Mmm.. I'm sorry Moon but actually I don't. I sent them an email but they didn't reply to me and I think that we just have to send them other emails.

Do you have another idea Moon?

Save Kyle!!

moonwatcher79's picture

For now, I think we should do a mass mailing to The Draft House to draw their attention, but I still can't figure out a date for it. When would it be appropriate? Any suggestions? Smiling

blackbiLL's picture

Maybe 2/3 weeks before Kyle XY 3rd season's DVD comes out. But we have to organize a very massive campaign in order to impress them. We have to invite everyone sending some emails, right?

OT: Moon, where's comet?

Save Kyle!!

moonwatcher79's picture

Yeah, Iwas thinking the same the thing! I was discussing a date for the mass mailing with prophet and KyleXYfanTX, TX for short. How about Nov. 27th?

I know! Comet has been off the grid for quite sometime... He's really busy at work. He couldn't even make it to the blog party last week. But I'm sure he will come back once he has some free time...

KyleXyFanTX's picture

Great, we have a date to advertise Big smile

and according to **Link Removed**

november 21-27 - National Adoption Week
november 21-27 - National Family Week
november 21-27 - National Game & Puzzle Week

iv never heard of aintitcool.com so i went on the site but im not sure what to do what do i do?

moonwatcher79's picture

Me either! Until they managed to raise their favorite movie from the ashes by screening it in The Alamo Draft House Theatre. The viewers loved it so much that they asked for a DVD (The only copy you could get for this old movie was a VHS) Then the producers took interest and decided to do a remake!

So, Prophet's idea was to win the attention of the guys in charge of that website, by sending them emails suggesting whether they could do the same thing for Kyle XY & perhaps send along a link of the pilot episode on Hulu to get them hooked.

prophet's picture

Hello to you all. I'm glad to see that this campaign is taking off. Big smile Hear I am and back again. What you all need to do is to send your comments and request to the guys to aint it cool news dot com. Tell them how much Kyle XY means to you and that we want to have a one day screening event of season 1. At the Alamo Drafthouse. Tell them about all our efforts to save this show!!! This is going to take group effort. ''I know we can do this.......! Wink
