Rumours have been going round that NETFLIX - the US online subscription service streaming movies & TV episodes over the Internet - are interested in picking up a cancelled TV show. Whether it is Lie To Me* or not, we do not know... Either way, let's MAKE them interested!!

Check out Mark's original thread about this at the official Lie To Me forums over at Fox.

Here are some ideas that people have come up with for fans to get in touch with Netflix HQ and more:

Ginny:

We should be concentrating our messages to the Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos. He works out of the Beverly Hills office.  Emails are fine, but I think actual mail makes more of an impression:

Netflix.com
9300 Wilshire Blvd
Beverly Hills, CA 90212

Possible e-mail address?: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Why Contact Mr Sarandos?

Mr. Sarandos was instrumental in the acquisition of an original series, "House of Cards." In an interview, he indicated that Netflix was willing to take a chance on an untried series because the original "House of Cards" is very popular on Netflix, as are the works of David Fincher and Kevin Spacey. They are hoping to attract an audience of people who like original, dramatic shows.  In this case, Nielsen ratings, demographics and all the other sacred network cows don't mean squat. Netflix will use their tried and tried computer algorithim to suggest the series to viewers. In other words, they're not going to bear the cost of production or promotion. This is brand new broadcasting territory and I personally think it should have networks ****ing in their pants, pardon my asterisks.

Netflix has already tweeted about "Lie To Me" which makes me suspicious that they might be sniffing around a little; not committing to anything, just putting out the feelers.  It's all over the internet how disappointed fans are to lose to Lie To Me. Lie To Me is HUGELY popular on Netflix. Netflix also has an existing distribution agreement with Twentieth Television (the distribution arm of 20th Century Fox Television), all of which might make Lie To Me a very attractive acquisition for Netflix.

What do we have to lose?  Well, for one thing, our favorite show if we don't at least try to do something. Here's our suggested plan of attack:

• If you're not a Netflix subscriber, SUBSCRIBE.  In the states, streaming-only is $7.95 a month.
• Watch the **** out of Lie To Me, and most important, leave a rating and/or review. Currently, it's averaging 4.3/5 stars of of 786,255 ratings. Organize mass Netflix viewing parties/marathons, just make sure you stream it regularly.
• Email and write: Mention that you are a subscriber, that you subscribed because of Lie To Me streaming and ask, politely, if they would not consider producing additional seasons of Lie To Me for its supportive, loyal and passionate fanbase.
• > Non-US people: we can e-mail and write to Netflix about our interest as well, so they know that there is WORLDWIDE interest, not just US potential. There is a market for Netflix around the world - this would mean more paying members for them, i.e. DEFINITELY a GOOD thing for them! ~Sonia
• Consider watching as much content as you can that features any of the series leads. (Most of Tim Roth's oeuvre is available on disc only; but Kelli Williams, Mehki Phifer and Brendan Hines all have shows on instant streaming)

Hey y'all!

Just wanted to tell y'all that the proper e-mail address is:

tsarandos@netfl ix.com

The one mentioned in the text above doesn't work!

Sincerely,
eStyle
