Here's the report and pictures Got this email: "the witchblade soundtrack on cdstreet.com is no longer on sale. It was an unofficial soundtrack and Warner Bros and the Witchblade producers have their own in the works - so legally that soundtrack had to be pulled. it was done without permission from any of the witchblade or warner bros people. Besides the WB Soundtrack, Cormac Cleary's album is almost finished... In the meantime, the people who put together the one they sold on cdstreet were basically stealing the music and the artwork from the show." (We don't know if this is all true, but CDStreet.com doesn't carry the Witchblade Soundtrack anymore) FX Prescribes 'Nip/Tuck' for 2nd Season - "FX has renewed "Nip/Tuck" for a second season, with an eye toward returning the plastic-surgery drama to the air by spring or early summer."

September 24, 2002 - Thanks to Kiara Truelove for this TV Guide: Ask Matt Q&A article: Question: TNT cancelled the hugely popular Witchblade a few days before Farscape got the axe from Sci-Fi. WitchbladeCentralStation.com is currently heading a campaign to bring the show back for another season. I know you are doing a piece on Farscape's campaign. Will you also do a piece on Witchblade's campaign? Thank you! — Julie Matt: The cancellation of Witchblade is another puzzlement in the land of cable. Even TNT admits the ratings were OK. But this is the network that produced and never aired an entire season of a new drama (Breaking News, now on Bravo) and also scrapped a completed second season of another drama (Bull). I can't figure out what that network's priorities are. The above website will give you more information about the Witchblade movement. And look for a piece soon in TV Guide by one of my colleagues that addresses the news surrounding the cancellation of both popular fantasy series. Question: With the cancellation of my favorite show Witchblade, where have all the strong, independent, female heroes gone? Can fans make a difference in bringing back a show they love? — Lynn Matt: Given the uproar over the premature deaths of Witchblade and Farscape in the last few weeks, I would be crazy to underestimate the impact of these protests. They're fascinating to observe, and the media are paying attention. But as for strong female heroes, are you not watching the fabulous Alias? Or (see below) Buffy? If not, you're missing some of the most fascinating and entertaining TV around.
