This is a kind request by all of us who think that "Eli Stone" is not only funny and entertaining, but profoundly spiritual and uplifting; something to look forward to, something to build on. There are role models in it; Eli Stone is a man we should all become... to help one another, to look for a way out of our daily rat-races, to enrich our own lives and those of the people we touch daily.

Please keep the show alive... we need to believe... WE NEED FAITH!

Dear Mr McPherson,
We the undersigned would like to launch a kind request concerning the recent cancellation of "Eli Stone". This is the first show in a long time that gives us faith in humanity... it shows us that spirituality is not to be scared of... that we all as individuals, have a purpose... and that by helping others, we also help ourselves. Please consider allowing "Eli Stone" to be shown for more seasons... if nothing else, make it "pro bono", like Eli.
Thankfully,
The fans/believers of "Eli Stone"

I wish ABC would keep these good shows on TV. Ever try to move it to a different time slot or day? This is mostly a good family show and would work in a more family friendly time slot. This was my favorite show on TV. I'm sad it has been canceled. It will probably be replaced with a horrible show with the popular sex and violence. I'm becoming more and more dissatisfied with ABC programming!

I love this show. I am so disappointed that it may not come back. Do TV shows always have to be a commercial success? Why not just plain good?

Eli Stone is one of the best shows in a very long time. I sooo enjoy watching it. Sometimes I laugh and cry @ the same time. Its an inspirational program that helps me look @ life in a different way! DON'T CANCEL ELI!

Eli Stone is one of the best shows I and my family have ever watched. From the very first preview the wife and I saw, we knew that this was going to be a show we HAD to watch. After watching the first two episodes, we knew we had to get the kids to watch too. Of course, 10pm was a late for them, so we recorded it. This was the only show that we could even get them to sit in the same room for. I have never seen a show that pushed for moral value regardless of who the opposition was. Not only did we have family discussions about the show's topics, but we took it to work as well. ABC, please don't cancel this show.Even if you have the change when the show airs, we'll adjust. My family and I just ask that you keep it on, whenever that might be. Thank You

To finally have found a show that our family can ALL watch was amazing. With all the "reality" shows on and all the violent, cuss filled shows on, we have not been able to enjoy sitting down as a family and watching tv together. This is on of the VERY FEW programs we allow our kids to watch. It had come to the point we were no longer watching tv. This delightful show not only taught our kids a lesson or two in every episode, but we all laughed out loud at every episode. We have pre-teens and we are very concerned with what is being offered as "entertainment" on tv lately. We enjoy this show so much we actually looked forward every week to our family night. We discussed the episode afterwards everytime and talked about the lessons or message the show was delivering. To cancel this show in favor of the ridiculous other shows that are being offered as "entertainment" just stuns us. It is extremely hard to get pre-teens to sit down with their parents and actually enjoy watching a show and spending time with them. Get rid of some of the garbage on tv and keep this family show. You can not begin to understand what this show has meant to our family. It may sound silly, but it does bring us closer to our kids. Our kids are actually asking us "where is Eli?" That is hard to come by. Please keep this lovely family show on the air. Thank you. The Noel Family.

With the cancelling of Boston Legal and Eli Stone television has left me with little but overdone cop shows and reality tv. I don't know who does the market analysys but they missed the boat on this one. OMG these shows were so much better Ugly Betty.

I've just heard that they've cancelled Eli Stone! Please, don't do it! It was a very uplifting & positive show. My entire family loved watching it (and thoroughly enjoyed watching the Season 1 Finale last night).

Eli Stone is a wonderful show and you should definitely SAVE it!! I think that these days a show isn't given a chance to develop - in the past shows such as M*A*S*H have had a less than impressive start but have gone on to become massive hits. Please give Eli Stone another season!

We need more uplifting shows such as Eli Stone!!! It would be great if you could put it on earlier in the evening such as 7p Central. I never miss an episode.

Canceling Eli Stone was a huge mistake! With all the crap on TV these days, ABC brought this funny, witty and sensitive show to viewers with a great message of hope and inspiration. The acting was excellent; the plots were interesting and the writing was crisp and genuine! There are not that many redeeming shows on TV these days and we are flooded with one stupid "reality" TV show after another. PLEASE BRING IT BACK SOON!

Eli stone is the greatest show that has been seen in a long time. Cancelling it is showing that stupid reality shows are better and more important than a great spiritual and entertaining show.... Change the time slot and let all the great families watch this amazing show

When I first watched Season 1 I was so impressed with this series as it was refreshing and novel from the shows we get nowdays. In addition, it reflects good old values that have been ignored and side stepped by almost all recent and current shows. I believe it should be brought back to entertain and fill our beliefs that there is still noble people out there. Please...

We have watched every show that has aired of Eli Stone. It is a very uplifting and entertaining show. It is a change from the vilolent, unsuspecting tv that we see today. We need and inspiring beautiful change of pace that we see today. I know may people that enjoyed watching this show. Please reconsider taking this show off the air.

C'mon! You keep getting rid of all the great shows, what the heck? From Eli Stone, October Road and Men in Trees and you leave us with Desperate Housewives, let's not forget Wife Swap and of all things, Samantha Who? Please give us all a break and stop getting rid of the actual good shows that our kids can watch with their parents and try to save something with quality and get rid of the immoral stupid shows

Fantastic programme - why why why is such a great programme being cancelled? Is it because there isn't enough sex or violence - thank GOD what there is minimal. I'm tired of seeing nothing but sex and violence which seems to be the staple diet for lazy writers who lack the imagination to create something as wonderful as Eli Stone. Bring it back without delay!!!!

Eli Stone is the most refreshing series for a long time. It is aired rather late and I don't feel that it gets the same advertising exposure as many inferior series. Please give Eli "One More Try" on prime time and see what happens.......

Last show worth watching on ABC... Lost? Ridiculous, Ugly Betty? Ugly writing and not funny, Grey's Anatomy? ER's poor stepchild. Eli Stone was well written and thoughtful, probably why it's on the chopping block now... BRING IT BACK!

I personally am not even christian and do not personally believe in the prophet thing, but this show is amazing, it has such a talented cast and is a perfect blend of legal drama, comedy, and musical. Adding the musical into a show has been done in one episode in an entire series compared to regular showings of musical pieces. I love it! It's absolute genius and the worst decision to take it off the air. It's rare a truly great show comes along and abc should not be letting it go.

I believe ABC is making the worst mistake. This is one of the few shows that can actually evoke profound emotions and thoughts, unlike the other maudlin, shallow and insubstantial crap they so proudly put out. Everytime i watch this show, it warms my heart; it fills me with idealism and hope, senses that had once become quite unfamiliar to me. This show has been horribly under-rated, and i believe it was because many had trouble opening themselves to this new, off-the-trend story. But if ABC would advertise this show more and appeal to a bigger public, i'm sure that everyone who watches it will inevitably become captivated my its magic.

I really enjoy this show and would really love to see it come back. The story line is so unique and different from most of the stuff that is being shown on TV. There is a lot of meaning to each episode and is consistently funny and entertaining. Please reconsider giving this show a chance. Maybe a different day or different time slot would be a better fit? Thank you
