A postcard or letter from a fan has a much bigger impact on tv execs than email (I'm told that they assume every letter represents
10,000 viewers who didn't take the time to write in).

Not sure what to say? Here are some suggestions to help you get started:
- Tell them what you think they are doing right with the show -- developing the characters, including interesting twist
on the supernatural elements, compelling storylines, whatever it is that you think is the show's strong suit.
- Tell them who your favorite character is, and why.
- Tell them what the show means to you.
- Tell them what you'd like to see more of in Season Two (more Harry/Murphy, more Harry/Bob, more of Claudia Black's character,
etc).
- Tell them which episode you liked best, and why.
- If you've gotten other people addicted to The Dresden Files, definitely mention this -- we want them to know that
not only is their viewership growing, but that their fans are actively promoting the show for them!
And of course, end your letter by asking them to please renew the show for a second season.
What not to put in your letter:
- Complaints that the show is not like the book
- Personal insults, angry comments, threats, or sarcastic remarks
- Complaints about other programs that SCIFI is airing or has aired in the past
Remember, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar... polite and positive is the way to go.
