How to Contact Fans of a Favorite TV Show

When you have a favorite TV show, it can feel like you just can't get enough of it. You want to read as much as you can about it and dish with others about story lines and characters. Perhaps you want to start your own website about the show, or even work to revive a show that has been canceled. No matter what your reason, there are many ways to find and contact fans of a favorite TV show.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Find fan websites and message boards for your favorite TV show online. You can contact the webmaster of the site and ask her how to access other fans. Also, many of these fan websites include forums or email lists where you can interact with other fans of the show.

2. Find your show on TV.com and check the forums. TV.com has information about mostly every show ever made in the U.S., and forums are included where viewers can chat with one another. The Internet Movie Database also has TV show entries, which include the message board feature.

3. Look on Yahoo! or Google groups. Enter the title of your show in the search window to view a list of groups. You can join as many as you want, though you will have more success contacting fans of large, active groups. You can find out how active a group is by viewing how many messages have been submitted in recent months.

4. Check Blogger or use a search engine to see if there are current blogs about your favorite show. You can comment on blog entries to interact with the blogger and his other readers. Or, start your own blog about the show. Post the URL on message boards to bring others to your blog to read your entries and discuss the show.
