To whom it may concern,
I'm writing in regard to your excellent program "In a Heartbeat" that airs every weekend on the Disney Channel. First of all, I'd like to say that I'm extremely disappointed that you've decided not to continue the series! It's one of the best shows on television today,
and I know that it has a large fan base. If you don't believe me all you need to do is look on the website fanfiction.net under the In a Heartbeat section.
It is easily one of the largest categories under television shows. Why? Because we the fans simply love the show to much to let it die down, so we write ... and sign petitions ... and write to television companies. Why did you choose to cancel such a successful series in the first place? If it was lack of ideas for the show? Because I'm positive that if you were to ask the fans, you'd get more ideas than you need. This show was a great idea, it gave proper recognition to teenagers across the country that volunteer their time to save lives, and it was a realistic show without having the smut and violence that you see on TV nowadays. It gave positive role models for children to look up to, without becoming a boring, preaching type of show. I really hope you reconsider your decision, because if you do I'm sure that the fans would be extremely grateful to see Tyler, Val, Hank, Jamie, Caitie, and Brooke back for a second season!
Sincerely,
Alexandra

Hello Alexandra,
The decision to stop production on a show, any show, is a difficult one but the business of making shows is just that - a business. Despite the enthusiasm of the fans that did support "In a Heartbeat", the fan base, unfortunately, was not large enough to continue production of the series. We agree with you that the stories and positive role models were a great addition to the television line up. Please rest assured that Disney and Alliance Atlantis take the cancellation of the series lightly. Thank you for taking the time to communicate your thoughts and concerns.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Kearn

I have a question...I am a huge fan of "In A Heartbeat" and I was upset when I found out it was cancelled. But Is there any way that I can buy the series on video or dvd? They hardly play it anymore and I would like to know if I could purchase the series on video or dvd. Thanks alot!

Luke

~~Ok I e-mailed them to, well I e-mailed them twice, I can't find the first one I sent them, but here is the one they sent me back, followed by the 2nd I sent them and the 2nd they sent me~~

Dear Christopher Safford, Hi it's Valerie again Ok i got one more question than....why can't you get a nother station, besides Disney to pick up In A Heartbeart?? and Do you know why they decided not to keep on with it....they really left us hanging. Thanks for your time Valerie

Hi Valerie, I know that this is not the answer that you want to hear but the chances of In a Heartbeat coming back to TV are pretty much non existent. I am not exactly sure why the show was cancelled but it is usually due to poor ratings - and you have to understand that a show has to do well everywhere, not just in Canada. You could try contacting Disney about this - but I really don't have any information to give you. Sorry, Christopher Safford

~~Well there they are. If you have any you got and want them here, again, e-mail me.~~
