Well, a number of us have tried that already, but frankly the last time I did was almost two years ago. I sent them an e-mail and they didn't even reply. Another fan sent a traditional "letter" and got a form-letter (actually postcard) reply. But, maybe, a few hundred more letters will help them see the light. I even think that some folks with more clout than us have contacted them ...
At the moment, they have a whole bunch of e-mail addresses you can write to, vs just one in the past (and for awhile, it didn't even work). Maybe if we bombard all of them? Their e-mail page is at:

I took the approach of telling them WHY they should profile Gordon, not just saying he was great and I'd love to see a show. I figure that since they haven't done a show yet, they must not understand. However, as I said, I'm not even sure anyone has even read my e-mails.
A VH1 feature (Storytellers would be my choice, but I'll take any show), combined with the PBS show in the fall would really make my year!
