Top Nine Reasons to Bring Back "The Nine Lives of Chloe King"

I recently got the worst news since those rumors about paying for Facebook: "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" (on ABC Family) is on the chopping block.

Um... excuse me?

For anyone that has read my posts before you already know that I am
A) A science fiction/ fantasy super-fan
B) A teenage girl
and
C) Can get really annoying when I know something needs to be changed.

So *drum roll please* here we have it......
Top 9 reasons to bring back The 9 Lives of Chloe King

9) Our problem started before the show even aired. The word didn't get out soon enough! ABC spent all their time and money advertising for shows that already had followers and were putting their main focus on everything else. We got it: "Pretty Little Liars" would be bigger then ever and "Switched at Birth" is going to be a hit. Message taken. By the time the news about "Chloe King" got out enough it was too far into the season to get caught up.

8) Hello! They got nominated for TWO Teen Choice awards! Not only was it up for breakout show of the year (which, might I point out, it may have won if it wasn't for reason #9) but Skyler Samuels- better known as Chloe herself- was up for breakout star.

7) While I have no proof, I'm going to guess the people giving the ratings are NOT the target audience, in this case, high school and collage girls.

6) Chloe King gave us what TV seems to be missing: Science fiction that teens like! It's time to face the fact that we can't watch "Wizards of Waverly Place" forever (and even if we could that's ending soon). Us fantasy lovers need something as well. First ABC got rid of "No Ordinary Family", and now this? Come on people. This is a major genre that should get its fix as well, otherwise ABC will be losing even more viewers.

5) Although the exact number of times is unknown, "Alek" has trended on Twitter worldwide more then once.

4) Might I just point out that...

A) C.K. had more combined viewers on the first three episodes then the first three of "The Lying Game"

B) This aired the day after "Switched at Birth" which was REALLY popular therefor giving channel surfers a false sense of the good premiers being over.

3) Did you even see the last "Chloe King"? HUGE cliffhanger! It would be unfair and cruel for them to not even post online what should have happened. I mean for gosh sakes they get us all excited (long lost brother, unknown whether half the characters were alive, etc..) and pumped then leave us hanging. Its not even like anyone could read the book to find out due to the fact that they changed the storyline more then Taylor Swift changes her crush.

2) Team Alek vs Team Brian. This is so big I don't even know where to begin. There have been Facebook and Twitter debates over them. People couldn't get enough of fighting over the cuties! Go ahead: type in "Team Alek" on the Facebook search (sorry former Brian fans, there were HUNDREDS of search results). Everyone went NUTS! It was a mini Edward and Jacob war! Why ruin that?

1) With all the social sites and ways to communicate today, fans aren't going to stop until someone listens. So if anyone wants the fan war to continue, go ahead. I just gave you 8 good reasons not to go on sitting there like opinions don't matter. If it isn't for viewers and what they think there would be no pop culture- no music, no movies, no books.... what makes today would be zero. So wise up and listen (and I'm not just talking ABC). You might actually learn something!



So come on! Save our show!
