Alas, poor Everwood, I knew it well.
Everwood is gone, and I think nothing short of a miracle will bring it back. Sets are down, the actors are moving on, but the fans just won't let go. I do understand...I can't bear to erase it from my DVR! The ending was beautiful, and it really was hard to say goodbye.
So what have the fans been doing? Short of begging at Dawn Ostroff's feet (the new CW CEO or whatever her title is), they have gotten a Ferris Wheel and are having it delivered. Here is a snippet about it from www.everwoodmusic.com:
Project Ferris Wheel
In the series finale of Everwood, Amy Abbott placed a Ferris wheel outside of Ephram Brown's apartment to express her love and affection for him. Everwood fans reflect a similar love and appreciation for the show and everyone that made it ring true. Deeply saddened by the premature end of the series, they have decided to do something. What started out as murmors in the internet community quickly became something bigger, much bigger. At that point Everwood Music founded Project: Save Everwood to organize those efforts under one banner.
On Monday, June 19th, an ad ran in Variety -- made possible solely through generous donations of Everwood fans -- thanking and congratulating the cast and crew and inviting them to a grand gesture. That grand gesture is a Ferris wheel in honor of the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show. To date, thousands of dollars have been raised from fans around the world. However, more money is still needed to make this event everything that the fans would like it to be. If you would like, you may donate to the Ferris wheel fund. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
The Ferris wheel event will be held on Friday, July 21st from 1pm to 6pm PST at Robert Louis Stevenson Elementary School (3333 West Oak St., Burbank, California 91505). The time was chosen to fit in with the TCA Awards and the location is less than a mile and a virtual midpoint between The CW offices and the Warner Home Video. It is important to stress that, just because the specifics have been announced, does not mean we're no longer in need of donations. We still greatly need and appreciate the generosity that has propelled us this far. Please follow the link for a more detailed invitation.
I think this is such an awesome idea, and wish I could have been there to see it. Hopefully, someone will post some footage for us fans who live across the country (and those across the ocean as well). I doubt it will work, but I really hope the CW's decision comes around to bite them someplace unpleasant!
