what i sent-
I am a dedicated Rubicon fan, and I am deeply dissappointed that it was cancelled. Sure, it was not a ratings megahit, but neither was Mad Men in it's first season, and it is now considered the best show on television. I understand that to keep a network going it has to pull in ratings. I mean, AMC is a great network. It knows quality, unlike a lot of networks out there. I know that it wanted Rubicon to succeed, but in order for it to go on it does need ratings. However, I think AMC should have given it time to grow. Perhaps move Rubicon to the Spring season instead of the Fall season? While I was certainly skeptical about the show in the first couple of episodes, and it was perhaps a bit too slow, it kept getting better and better. It had great atmosphere, great writing, tension, and great characters and actors working in it. I am sure that a show like this could find the right audience, and even if it was not a super ratings hit, it could strengthen AMC's reputation. A network should care about ratings, but it should care more about striving in giving audiences that want good quality story-telling, as it is with Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and now The Walking Dead. And even if Rubicon really doesn't come back, I do not want to see AMC giving up ambition and giving more standard television fare just to win in the ratings. Rubicon was certainly a very ambitious show, and keeping it in the air would show what AMC truly cares about- quality, not quantity. I do not want to see shows like Rubicon disappear just because of ratings.
I appreciate your time in reading this and hope that you take this statement into consideration.

Really nicely said Red :)
I hope they still release season one on DVD. I think the show will win even more fans and become a cult favourite.
And they don't care.
shareSend a real letter, too. They have a hell of a lot more impact and meaning, as do phone calls.
DirecTV is also a possibility, as they often take on critically acclaimed and yet low ratings series. Here's the information I know of.

Why don't you all send registered letters, then at least you will now that they will read them for sure.
If you just send AMC a letter snail mail, they will think you just want an autographed picture of Don Draper!
