You can write letters to the SCI FI Channel requesting, politely, that they either honor their commitment to Farscape, or release the first 88 episodes back to the Jim Henson Company. Releasing those back 88 episodes will make it easier to either put Farscape into syndication, or allow it to move to another network.

Contact the advertisers. Take a moment to look over our To Do lists (http://www.watchfarscape.com/news/category.php?newstype=8) to see who has been advertising on Farscape and who our suggested letter writing targets have been lately.
Some things you may want to include in an advertiser letter:
Specifically mention that they advertised during Farscape on The SciFi Channel. If you can, name the specific episode and the air date
Mention your demographics information (name, age, income). This is important. This tells the advertiser who you are and why you are their advertising target.
Show them why you like Farscape and how much you care that it was cancelled.
Tell them when and why you have used (or intend to use) their product or service.
Ask them to tell SciFi Channel that you contacted them. Ask them to support advertising on Farscape in the future. If you would like, ask them to let other networks (like UPN) know that they would advertise for Farscape if the network picked up the show.
Remember, please be positive, polite and supportive. We are trying to influence a business to react to consumers.
We've also received word that a couple of other networks have shown some interest in Farscape.
