Help Save Three Sheets!

Zane Lamprey falls into my personal "Top 5 Celebrities I Would Like To Marry If They Weren't Married" list. Zane isn't an A-lister by any stretch, but he is on TV and has the greatest job ever. Oh, and he also gets points for being funny and handsome all in the same package.

For those of you unfamiliar with ZL, he is the effervescent host of "Three Sheets," one of the best shows to grace High Definition TV. Zane has the remarkable privilege of traveling the world to explore the diverse drinking customs of different nations. Furthermore, he gets to sample the local fare, and even teaches us about how some of our favorite drinks are produced and other interesting alcoholic drink facts. For example, did you know that there are three categories of tequila? If you didn't, they are

• Blanco - clear tequila aged a few months
• Reposado- medium colored tequila aged for 2 months - one year
• Anejo - dark tequila aged one - three years

Another cool tidbit: Budweiser is German for "From Budvar." Budweiser Budvar has been brewed in the Czech Republic since 1265. American Budweiser and Budvar are not friends (Budvar thinks they stole their name). For that reason, American Budweiser is not allowed in the Czech Republic. Here's the episode of Three Sheets in Prague:

Three Sheets is a highly entertaining show, as you will all agree. However, the show is in peril. MOJO HD, the channel that once broadcasted Three Sheets went off the air on December 1st, and therefore left the show without a network home. With such a strong following, Zane continues to film episodes around the world for Three Sheets' 5th season. Simultaneously, he and his team have been pitching the show to other HD channels and rallying in major cities to get the attention of major network executives. Recently, he has requested the help of Three Sheets fans and the public, with messages such as this:

OK, as you probably have heard by now, MOJO HD is off the air as of December 1st. The big surprise, however, is that another network hasn't swooped in to grab it. What's up with thaaaat?

We have 15 NEW episode completed and 5 more in the works. Can you imagine not ever being able to see them?! So, a grass-roots campaign has been started to SAVE THREE SHEETS. Some radio stations have gotten involved, but the power really is with you.

Here are some networks that would make sense. Send them emails. Tell your friends. Spread the word. Inundate them! Call your local radio station to have them get the word out! Blog about it! Don't let the most fun show on TV end up on the web!

I have stated my case with these networks, and I hope that you might be compelled to do the same, once you've watched Three Sheets. You can see most of the episodes on Zane's site. Write to the networks. It's a show worth saving.
