(Note from The MGT. - Out of respect for the valiant effort of the students at this school, each letter is being transcribed exactly the way it was written. To do otherwise might dim the heart & soul written into each one.)
Enclosed you will find copies of the letters my students & I sent to the CBS executives regarding your show, "The Wizard".
We are pleased to support such a high quality, entertaining, & well acted show. In fact, my students were actually excited about writing a letter for a change. I have passed the information on to other teachers hoping that we can make a difference.
To CBS Executives,
I'm writing in regards to your show "The Wizard". As a teacher I find it encouraging to see a show which is entertaining to adults as well as children. The scripts portray children as bright & positive individuals, & Simon, well played by David Rappaport, reminds us that even though we are grown up there is still a fun-loving child in all of us. Please continue to provide this high quality product.
I am writing to you because I don't want you to canel the T.V. show The Wizard because I like to watch the show. The reason why I like the show The Wizard is because its fun to watch.
I am writing to you to ask you not to take the Wizard off because it is a lot of fun to see the Wizard. You have a lot of people that watch. So please don't take the show off.
I am writing to you because I do not want your show The Wizard to go off the air. I really like the show because it's got a lot of adventure. Please don't take the show off the air.
I am writing to you to ask you if you will not cancel the Wizard. I like the show because he shows the way he fixes his toys. I liked the Wizard's show when he fixed the dog for the blind person.
I like Wizard very much. It is a neat show. I like the inventions he has made especially the dog & the pop-up he uses & that glue shooter on the truck. It is a good show & I would like it to stay on a long time as long as the Cosby Show.
