The Wildfire Spreads: Last week, my email inbox got very well acquainted with enthusiastic Wildfire fans upset over the cancellation of their beloved series. Begging for ratings on the finale and the season overall, I did a little digging and was informed by a network insider that the last episode scored a .57 in households (about 646,000 people), which is less than season average: a .75 in households. I was also told that the ABC Family offices are currently being inundated with emails, faxes and phone calls from ardent fans. Regarding a revival of the series, the ABCF employee said, "Never say never, but at this time, there are no plans." Still, the network is definitely taking notice of viewer enthusiasm. So far, www.SaveWildfire.com has sent 500 cast iron horseshoes, 450 pounds of hay in boxes and one thousand pounds of carrots to ABC Family President, Paul Lee, to show their support. Today, they are planning to deliver three thousand pounds of hay bales, though I'm told the shipment has not yet arrived...


If fans cannot even show up for the series finale they knew about months in advance, why should anyone take a chance at Wildfire.

It sucks for the half a million fans of the show, but half a million isn't good enough by a long shot.

Keep in mind though that they aired the finale on Memorial Day, which was a pretty silly idea I thought. But even then, I don't think the show really has anywhere else to go, so it's probably best for it to end now.

We contacted Korbi Gosh again, the show averaged a million for the fourth year.

The big problem seems to be lack of promotion...it did'nt really get anything this year. Barely any commerical spots on its own channel. No Magazine/Billboards. No Radio spots. Alot of People did'nt even know it was back on..

Dividing the season with prom queen was an bad move. Paul Lee said he will not be doing reality shows anymore. It got really low ratings. Airing Wildfire finale on Memorial Day airing was a low blow...most people vacation that weekend.

The Wildfire fanbase feels betrayed because Wildfire was responsible for starting ABC Family legacy. They turned their back on the show after Greek came along.
