Washington Elementary School Petition
3rd Grade Class
Farmington, Missouri
March, 1987
(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 letters that my students sent to CBS concerning "Th eWizard". They mailed them in individual envelopes which they addressed. I didn't want CBS to get the impression that anyone was forced to write. When we learned about the possible cancelling of your show, we wanted to take part in the letter writing campaign. We hope it works! "Th e Wizard" must be saved!
I have notified other elementary teachers in my area & asked them to encourage their students to write, too. Hopefully, enough people across the USA will respond to save this high quality program.
P.S. I also wrote CBS about not cancelling "The Wizard". As the mother of 2 children (ages 7 & 9), "The Wizard" represents the values & qualities which I want my own children to emulate.
I like "The Wizard" on T.V. It is very interesting. It is a good show because adults & children can both watch it. I have lots & lots of friends that like it. I hope you don't cancel it! I learn a lot of things that are on the show. I really enjoy the show & I hope you don't cancel it. My family likes it too. I think "The Wizard" is funny. I really enjoy the show!
I hope "the Wizard" will stay on the air. I watch "the Wizard" when I can. A lot of my friends watch it they like it too. Most everybody I know watch it. I hope you get more letters like this one. If you write back send a picture of David Rappaport.
The T.V. show "The Wizard" is the best show I have ever seen in my life. I hope you don't cancel it. It is neat how you make up the inventions you use in the show. I like it because it is exciting. I am nine years old & my family loves " The Wizard" a lot. We watch it a lot.
I really like the show The Wizard. I wouldn't like you cancelling the show. The show is very interesting. I watch the show every time it is on, because it has exciting avinchers (adventures) & a good show for families. I also like the people that play on the show. My family watches it. My brothers, mother, father & I. I love the show & would love for you to keep "The Wizard" on T.V.
Please do not cancel the show "The Wizard". I like how he makes his inventions. I think some of them are pretty neat. I really like to watch the show. Some of my friends even watch "The Wizard". I hope you don't cancel it.
I really enjoy "The Wizard", & my family does too! I don't want it to be cancelled off T.V. It is really interesting. I watch it almost every thursday.
Will you please leave the Wizard on air! I like the show. Please leave him on the air! Me & my friends enjoy watching it. I hope you don't cancel it. If you don't I'll watch it every time its on! Please don't! If do I'll cry.
Hi! How are you? I herd you were thinking about cancelling "The Wizard" I hope not. A lot of my friends watch it. They say it is a good show. They say that the inventions are interesting. If it isn't cancelled me & my family will be sure to watch your show. I hope you don't cancel the show. I know I will enjoy it.
If you don't cancel "The Wizard" I will have my family & I watch it every week. I really think David Rappaport has really neat inventions. My friends always say that they watched it. Well I really hope I can watch it this week.
I hope you don't cancel "The Wizard" on television. Because I like it. And all my friends watch it too. And I bet they would be upset too so please don't take it off the air.
