Media Life: An Open Letter to Dawn Ostroff, President of CW
By Karen Crackpot
Dear Dawn Ostroff, President of the CW:
 Please don’t cancel Logan Echolls’ show. As it is, I missed him for 5 weeks while he was off gallivanting with that little girl, that Veronica wanna-be.
Even though I know that he can never be mine, I still love him. Bordering on obsession. Who will I try and fix if I don’t have Logan? Who will make me laugh and cry with his snarky comments and deadly wit? Whose muscular chest will I drool over? What’s the point in going to school if Logan won’t be there?
I know he’s not perfect. I know his ratings aren’t what they should be. But there are so few high schools that don’t revolve around the Peach Pit After Dark, The Bait Shop, or whatever excuse the producer’s come up with to showcase new bands. Logan doesn’t need those gimmicks. He has a personality, complex layers, a storyline. I like visiting with him once a week. You just never know what he’s going to do next. Is it an even numbered day, and he’s nice? Or is it an odd numbered day, and he’s a jackass?
There are so few teenagers in Media Life who seem like real people. Logan is the guy that I had a crush on in high school but I knew that I would never have. For that reason alone, I must watch him. What’s he all about? Could he ever see anything in me? I want to know every one of his demons, and I want to make them better. I just want to see him happy! Can’t you people see that he’s hurting?! Everyone he loves leaves him. You can’t add yourself to that list.
I’ll miss him terribly if you cut him loose. Logan can’t be replaced by a wrestler on WWE Smackdown, a bunch of wanna be models, or even – yes, I’m saying it – Superman. You can’t fit him into a ratings equation, or a demographic group. He’s Logan, a real person, and not a number dammit! [Sob…] He has feelings! He’s just a boy who’s hurting! [Sniffle…] Please, listen to me!! I’m saying I love him. [Sigh.] Just give him a chance.
Sincerely,
Karen Crackpot
