I just can't believe that this is it. What the hell happened?? I don't understand why South of Nowhere has to end. It just doesn't make sense. Now, I'm from Denmark and only noticed this show about 6 months ago, but from the get-go I was hooked. I never watched a show that was so true to life. Of course not everything, but mostly yeah. I was amazed by the acting, especially the two leads...they are doing an amazing job. As a gay woman myself, I'm totally in aw about the realness of the relationship of Spashley. I mean they do it so well, and that's quite astonoshing. They are for sure very gifted actresses. I'm a fan for life. I will follow them in their careers and I will FIGHT for South of Nowhere getting back on air!! We need this show out there.... I wish there were a show like that when I was growing up. I only recently came out to my parents at the age of 33, because I always felt something was wrong with me and I didn't wanna be 'weird'. I'm a lesbian and damn proud of it!

I think SON should be kept on. I am a 31 year female lesbian. I may be more of an older fan base, but this show really touches on coming out and the feelings that go with. Spashley is one of the cutest couples that I have ever seen. This show mirrors what I have felt or seen over my life as a member of the gay community. It is hard for people to stand up and show their ~TRUE COLORS~SON really hits home. These girls play their parts well and anybody watching (gay or straight) can relive those feelings that they have had for someone at some point in their life. I am an avid fan. If I have to work, then I watch any missed episodes on the-n. My sister and brother-in-law also watch. Mr Lynch, if the-n will no longer carry this show in pursuits of a younger demographic, then please try and sell to another network. This show has longevity. There are teens out there that need to see this show and know it's ok to be themselves and find love with whoever makes them comfortable. from Ohio

S.o.N. is a one of a kind show; us teenagers/ young adults can relate to each story line because we've been there. Unlike The L Word, S.o.N. is made for us because there we see the coming out stories and the drama that we've been thru or are going thru right now. This show has helped me to keep faith that everything is going to be allright after the disgusting coming out process. N E way people let's work together to SAVE SPASHLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

To say that South has changed my life would be an understatement. Before I discovered this lovely show last summer, I had been 'obsessed' with Smallville, for the entire 6 years it had been playing. Understandably, Smallville isn't as good as it once was, but you can't just cut off something you love. Unless of course, you replace it with South of Nowhere, which I now love even more. It's incredible how quickly I became hooked on this show. Maybe that has to do with who I am, or rather, who I'm discovering myself to be. Whatever the reason, I've never been more thankful for a show to exist before. Because of South of Nowhere, I've learned to accept myself, even though I have no clue what it is I'm accepting yet. If I did know, I'm willing to bet I would be out right now because of this show just like so many others. I'll remember this show for the rest of my life, just because it has made that much of an impact. South of Nowhere is very much so love in my heart. Save South, Save love.

This is like a slap in the face. I just wanna say that to me there hasn't been a show that effected me as much as South Nowhere. It was something I could relate on many levels. Not just the gay storyline, I found a home with many of the storylines like: Clay being adopted, Spencer trying to understand feelings she thought was wrong, and even with Aiden in trying to do the what feels right, but end up screw things up more. Even seeing a little glance at what LA is like for youths. Its a place that I always went to grow up in and one day move to. I just hope that the network and any body involved in the cancellation know how much it hurt and pains to know that a great thing was giving then been ripped away. SON is and Always Will Be Love

Female, 16, live in Europe, like girls. I only found out about the show the beginning of last month. I downloaded and watched the first 2 seasons within a weekend and watched 3A a few days later. (I was shocked when I found out that there weren't DVDs of this amazing show already.) I have to say, I fell in love with it right from the start. A show that is true to life and isn't afraid to address controversial issues, is filled with witty lines as well as ones that force people to reflect on things. It's a story of love, friendship, self-discovery, acceptance, and so much more. I feel really attached to the show, and it's helped me understand myself and the society better. I'm sure that this show would continue to help teenagers who are trying to find themselves, and change the views of close-minded people if it could stay on the air. A show this influential shouldn't end this soon.

Hey :) I'm 19 and from the name i think you can guess that im a girl lol :) and yes i am gay woop woop. South helped me come out because it made me feel comfortable enough to be myself, i think this is the same for a lot of people and i think its disgusting to cancel a show that was doing so well just because the main characters were gay.

When I first heard that SON was getting canceled, I felt like I lost part of me. I'm a straight girl who loves SON. SON doesn't only focus on sexual orientation, but it also deals with other more imporant issues. I am so hooked with SON mostly because of the story line and because of the characters. The N is definitely making the biggest mistake cancelling one of their best show. I know we can do this. If not bring SON back on N, atleast on other network.

I’ve thought about my life before South of Nowhere and with South of Nowhere. I didn’t have any show on television that I could relate with on television before South of Nowhere. My life with South of Nowhere showed me that its ok to feel what I feel. It’s ok to be who I am. I have wondered what it would have been like if this amazing show had never aired. It is only 30 minutes in length yet it has impacted my life and the lives of many others. Imagine what it could continue to do if it still had a chance. From the very first promo, I was instantly hooked. When I saw Spencer, I felt like I was going through the same situation as her. I knew I liked girls but I didn’t know what to do about it. But also I saw Ashley and at times have felt and acted exactly like her. When I watched the show for the first time it didn’t feel like just another show. It felt different. At first I didn’t understand what was so different about it but now I realize. This show depicted so many real life situations and has displayed what it is like to truly fall in love with someone whether it be a boy or girl. I know that every show has to end sometime but I honestly don’t feel like this is South of Nowhere’s time. I think South of Nowhere could go so far and make an even huger dent in this society. I mean that in a good way. It has opened many peoples eyes up to what life is really like for some people. I don’t know the reason that South of Nowhere was cancelled but all I can do about it is to voice my opinion because I do have that right. However, I’m not giving up hope for Spashley because I know that I will see them again. It might not be the Spencer and the Ashley that we loved in the beginning but a different version of the same two characters.

Take the time to read this, as I believe that no matter who you are, you'll understand. South of Nowhere is the only show I've ever watched that I can say honestly changed me. You all know what I'm talking about, whether you are a teenager like myself reading this post or some stuck-up, shy executive snooping inside the diaries of these boards. You've been changed sometime. Whether it was a book, a speech, a show, a movie; a person, even...You've been changed sometime. Well, guess what? I hadn't. Not until South came along. And trust me, this whole teen television thing? Not my thing. I'm 14 years old and I've planned on being a psychiatrist forever; always felt different from people although I tend to blend quite well with the more popular kids. I've never come across a show before that helped me discover who I was. Ever. It's always been entertainment until I saw South of Nowhere. Picture this. Pretty girl, knows what she wants out of life. Intelligent. Caring...Homophobic, extremely unhappy. You know why? She's gay. She just doesn't know it. That wasn't just me back then. It was a thousand of us. A million of us. And maybe we weren't all pretty or afraid of being gay completely or extremely unhappy before, but even the straight ones here have felt uncomfortable sometime...Have lost someone, metaphorically or literally, to drugs or other issues. We've all been through the things depicted in South of Nowhere, and I can't tell you how many teenage lesbian relationship stories I've heard - true life ones - that were parallel to Spashley. Spencer and Ashley are not just characters concocted by an old, money-grubbing man. They are us. We have all been a Spencer before - or known one - someone questioning their sexuality, scared and confused; angry and misunderstood...Sharing a secret from the world that starts off tiny; the glance you snuck at that girl's backside at the beach, the thoughts that crept into your head...But it gets so, so much bigger. Secret glances turn into mutual stares that family members notice. Thoughts turn into actions. Actions change who we are, and finally, we all have to fess up sometime...whether it means saying "I like girls" or "I like boys" or "I wasn't born the right gender" whatever it may be. We all have to let it out. Spencer showed us how. We've all worn our hearts on our sleeves and had them sold for half price. We've all cared about someone only for them to leave eventually...And we need to see someone like Spencer, who instead of crumbling down, got up on her own two feet and lived like the fallen angel she was. We'd all like to be angels, I think. But we've all been Ashleys as well, angry with ourselves and the world, building walls painted and tainted in beautiful graffiti - art, whatever - to entice others and pull them in only to be pushed out sometime. We've all felt like being Ashleys and some of us have turned into one. And it helps so much to see someone like me on that screen, accidentally hurting others, crying out for help...And finally breaking down. Finally letting someone in those walls for good. Spencer and Ashley are the meeting of those two sides. The accepting, caring side, with the rebellious, angry side. The strong and the weak. The forgiving and the grudge-holding. They are raw, and human, and they are us. And they are every relationship we've ever been in, in one way or another, especially our first loves. So don't you DARE take me away from me. South can't end after 3B because our lives don't end after 3B. And I know you could say that about any season that it would end, yes, but we would never be satisfied until we saw all 5 seasons Lynch said he had planned out, because we know that nothing else is the ending that everyone rooting for us originally intended. We're not going to be happy with anything but the truth.

I'm so upset a the cancellation of South of Nowhere. This was a bad decision on The N's part. Tom Lynch already wrote five seasons, why not wait until we complete all the seasons? SON was a groundbreaking show that dealt with real topics people could relate to. It was one of my favorite shows on The-N and seriously I think it's one of the best shows ever made. I'm 19 years old, from Chicago, and though I'm not bi/lesbian, I can still relate to the show's characters and the things they have to go through. Please consider the word of the fans.

I can't even begin to describe how upset I am about the cancelation. For almost two years I was questioning myself. It's so hard not knowing who you are, feeling like you're all alone, and like everyone will hate you if you were to be attracked to the same sex. I honestly wanted to kill myself. South of Nowhere helped me so much. It helped me to understand that what I was feeling was normal and that I wans,t alone. This show has made a difference in so many teens' lives. Please don't take it away!

Gender: Female Sexual Preference:Still figuring it out. Before I started watching south of nowhere, I had never even considered that I might be gay. It never had crossed my mind. I've noticed a big change in myself since I started watching it this past august. That's right, I started in August. I'm not a long-term fan but I certainly am dedicated. When I first saw SON, I was sleeping over at a friends house and it came on at like, 3am. We were channel surfing and we got to the-n right as Spencer and Ashley started kissing in Chelsea's studio. I got sort of a weird feeling but covered it up by asking my friend "Whats this?" She said, "I think it's called south of nowhere" Then a little pop-up thing came up at the bottom of the screen reading;the-n.com; So as soon as I got home, I went there and watched the entire episode. Then I went on iTunes and bought all 3 seasons and I've been obsessed ever since. Please, don't cancel south. Move to a different channel at least!

Gender: Female. Age: 18. Sexual Preference: Lesbian. I'm a dutch girl who watches SoN. Which I think just another proof of how wide the fanbase of this show is. I understand that it will never air here, but it has helped me with understanding who I am. After a troubled time, with deaths and operations, and finding out that I was gay, it was defenitely good for me to see a show where girls my age found out that they were gay too. It was fun to watch, and I also got to know a lot of other l-e-s-b-i-a-n-s. So I just wanna say, that is one of the first show for me, ever, to hit such a close base (especially with Ashley's dad, cause I actually saw that epi, about 3 weeks after my own mother died), and I really wanna thank you for it. Thanks for helping me gut through a rough time, and I really enjoyed your show. I hope, that maybe it can air somwhere else, but in any case: THANK YOU!!! nxoxoxox

Okay...So, I think cancelling South of Nowhere is the worst choice EVR! This show is so real and the only show (that I know about) that deals with such problems as this show! And the thing with this show is that it's so natural, and we can all see our selves in one of the characters...The show has helped me and A LOT of other people. Without this show, the younger generation doesn't have anyone to recemble them selves with when they have problems or issues like this! South of Nowhere has learned me so much, but first of all it thought me to be myself. Because that's the most important thing in life, just be yourself no matter what people think! Don't be afraid to stand out and be different! Love is love NO MATTER who it's with! Save the Sapshley and South of nowhere, we need this show.Spashley forever

Like many others on this site I was afraid to be who I was or rather who I am. For years I denied it. I didn’t want it. I remember the very first time I got questioned about my sexuality… I was fifteen years old and I couldn’t believe the words coming out of my friend’s mouth “Are you gay? Because I get the feeling you’re in love with me.” The truth was that I wasn’t in love with her but for the first time in my life I was unable to answer her question. I was hurt, shocked and outraged because at the time that’s not who I wanted to be. I was scared and from that day on I made a promise to myself that I would hide behind a mask. I would be the person everyone else wanted me to be.It was only recently after opening my world to South of Nowhere did I realize that it was okay to be who I am. To be honest with you at first even after watching the program I was still afraid, very much like Spencer was. I was still denying it to myself. I was in such denial that I even wrote to Gabby and Mandy claiming to be a “heterosexual fan” LOL. :) But after watching Spencer grow as a character and being comfortable with who she was did I begin to feel comfortable with whom I was. For those of you that speak to me on the forum you will know that I recently came out to my mother. Something I never ever planned to do but it was SON that helped me through it. It helped me so much so that I even used the dialogue that Spencer used when speaking to her mother. “I didn’t just wake up one morning and think to myself how can I piss my mom off today? Oh right I think I will decide to be gay.” Being gay, bi or straight is who you are and you can’t change that… So the truth is without SON I wouldn’t be the person I am today and because of that I am so thankful to everyone that is involved with the creation of South of Nowhere. It truly is an amazing show in fact it’s more than a show to me…It mirrors my life. I have never been so cut up over news of a cancellation to a show as I have been for that of SON. It’s not just a show and it certainly not rubbish like some other shows we see on our screens…It’s a lesson. A lesson that can be carried out and viewed for many many years to come. SON has changed my life as well as many others and it would be a shame to loose it. Not only do I think it should continue but I also think it should be put out on DVD because such an amazing show deserves such credit and honestly speaking if the show remains cancelled I can guarantee The N will regret it. “It’s not where you’ve been, it’s where you’re going.” \r\nMuch love to SON all the way from South Africa\r\nminime\r\n

South of Nowhere is a fabulous show. It has realistic storylines with phenomenal actors. It sends a positive message and is enjoyable to watch. I really think that the network will truly have lost the best show on The-N. The show has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award, Prism and GLAAD Awards. South of Nowhere and some of its actors were nominated, and won Wave Awards. The actors are becoming more recognized and are really advancing in their careers, receiving guest roles on top, well-known television shows. This show has changed lives. I am twenty-two years old, and love the show! It appeals to many different people. Gay, straight, bi, Black, White, Asian, Puerto Rican. The show's relatable. It's comedic, while addressing serious issues as well. Adoption, racism, school, sexuality, teen pregnancy, drugs/alcohol, religion, friends, absent /overbearing parents, family, and a story of how to balance all of this while growing up. It's a mistake to not renew South of Nowhere!

Being a 22 year old girl, i\'ve watched alot of TV in my day; and South Of Nowhere is hands down one of the best shows i\'ve ever layed eyes on. Being bisexual myself(or rather, not into labels)It\'s definitely the one show i\'ve connected with more than any other, ever. But even if i were 100% straight i wouldn\'t love this show one bit less. So it disappoints and sickens me to know its never been given the respect it deserves, and is now being thrown away for more unoriginal, run of the mill trash. It\'s ratings and recognition speak for itself. There is so much life left in these amazing charcters they should not be let to die yet. Any network should be lucky to have a tv show as honest and heartfelt as South Of Nowhere.

I just want to say how much I love South of Nowhere and that from the first time I saw it, I was attracted to it not even knowing what it was about. When I did find out the main storyline I was even more intrigued. For me coming to terms with my sexuality has been one of the hardest things that I have ever done, I am still coping with it and seeing someone go through it on the television when youth in the GLBT community have waited so long for something like this to come out and actually succeed past a season or even a few episodes has meant a lot to me and has given me something to look forward to in helping other people see that we are out there and this is real for others. I am now almost 20 years old and in college and I have been watching this show since the premiere. I would love to be able to help the ratings but I live in a dorm and have limited cable channels. I really hope that the execs in charge see this and do everything they can to help us and bring back the show. Thanks

For many years I was in denial, in denial about who I was/am. i remember always pushing/ignoring the truth, I couldn’t allow my self to even think about it. All I wanted to be normal, to be like everyone else, just so I could be accepted by my family and friends. so I did what many others did, I lied to myself, I thought, If I could push the thought to the back of mind and not allow the thought to surface, then it would disappear, that I would gradually be like ever one else who was 'normal', someone who people could accept.. it seemed to work for a while, at least that’s what I told myself, but after a while, i was getting tired of keeping up with this false charade. it was slowing killing me. I remember feeling emotionally exhausted after confessing to one of my friends about my so called 'crush'. I felt so unbelieving alone, so helpless, sad and confused. I just wanted some peace, I wanted to stop feeling so guilty about who I was, that I wasn’t a bad person for having all these thoughts and feelings. I just wanted/needed some kind of hope. South of Nowhere gave me that hope. I saw myself in Spencer, someone who was struggling with the same things I was going through. Someone who was just as confused/scared as I was. It also showed me to have faith in my family and society, that they could be accepting. But the most important thing South of Nowhere taught/showed me, that it is okay to be Me(something that seems so simple, yet is so unbelieving hard). So I ask ,plead, even beg if you will, do not take South of Nowhere, something that has meant so much to me (as well as many others),please don’t take away my hope. Sincerely a deeply sadden South of Nowhere fan from California

When i first hear the news of south of nowhere being cancel i was so depressed and in denial the reason i love this show so much is not just for the spashley characters and that relationship but it shows real life for all people. i can relate to this show so much because i am 20 almost 21 and it finally made me realize that i dont have to hide who i am and its alright to be a lesbian especially and black lesbian like i am. this show finally made me come out to some of my friends and to myself because i always told myself that i wasn't gay but then i saw the spencer and ashley relationship and i was like i don't need to hide anymore and i should be myself because it was hurting me more to be in the closet and now i am so much more happier with myself and my life and i owe that all to south of nowhere. this show has impact my life and many of my friends and all of us fan's lives for the better. i believe it is a very stupid ideal to cancel a show that has help many of us out SAVE SON!!!

So I'm a 29 year old lesbian and I just started watching SON in the 3rd season. I know, I know I started late. But the N is not exactly a channel that appeals to me. One day I flipped it on saw a SON commercial and I got hooked. Watched the show and totally fell in love. This show is such a wonderful ground breaking show. It's helped so many people of different ages, sexual orientation, and beliefs. Not many shows can do that. This show has honestly changed lives. I know it's changed mine. I fell in love so much with the show that I began to write fan fiction for it and the unthinkable happened. Through my SON fan fiction I met my love. The one. The love of my life. Weird I know but it really happened. So for that reason alone I will ALWAYS be SON fan. Always. This show will forever hold a special place in my heart. As far as the cancellation goes I just don't understand it. The show is ending prematurely for no good reason. So once SON ends so does the N for me.

I'm not the average age range viewer for South of Nowhere, I'm 24 but I really wish there had been a show like this around when I was in high school. I've watched this show with my nieces, who are now 17, it's lead to some great discussions and really opened their minds to try and see things from others point of views. Media of all types is so seriously lacking when it comes to showing gay and questioning young adults positive, accurate portrayals of what they are going through. I kind of had to muddle my way through, the whole time feeling so alone and scared. South has shown others that they are not alone, that there are others out there that are going through the same thing. It's helped others become so much more understanding of what the youth of today are going through, from sexuality, to identity because at it's very heart, South is about finding your own identity and feeling comfortable in your own skin. To have such an amazing show go off the air for good would be a shame.

F*CK the N! if this is true i will cancel this channel from my cable network. i can't believe they would do this. they knew what they were getting into with this shows content. they knew it would be about two young girls falling in love. it's the second highest rated show, and i know it would be on the top if it ever got any air time. ever wonder why degrASSi is on top? cause its always on! you have no other choices. now they're canceling a show with a gigantic fan base, quite a few amazing actors. this has to be THE dumbest move on TV since they gave Tony Danza his own talk show. seriously, wtf!? people our age have a hard time finding shows and characters they can relate to, and now that a lot of us have found one it up and gets the boot. i'm a lesbian and there aren't that many lesbian and bi characters out there on television, and none in there late teens and early 20's like me. this show can't be cancelled. oh The N how I despise thee. did i mention depressing? SoN is Love!\r\n-Sara

I FEEL BETRAYED AND HURT!! i feel like cancelling SON will be the biggest mistake the-n has ever made. I mean, SON is the 2nd most popular/watched show on the-n. why would you want to cancel it? oh... and the whole "we're aiming for a younger audience" thing is stupid. SON has surpisingly changed some peoples lives, believe it or not. Taking it away from there will just make more people upset. MISTAKE!!!

Okay The L Word...Queer as Folk..... do theese shows ring a bell? Sure right... theese shows mean a lot in the gay community....theese are shows for gay adults...But what about gay teenagers and gay young adults....or sexually confused kids....what about high school students...who are dealing with they're sexuality...its like 2008 and tv puts a impact on peoples lives espically in the country were living in!!!! Which leads me to think...okay so we have theese shows that were suppose to try and relate to...cool...queer as folk....and The L Word...But theese shows are great yeah but the main characters are gay adults who have jobs and careers and are starting families...If your a kid...espically a gay kid...how ru gonna relate....I mean sure wow the only thing when your a teenager you have in common with theese characters are the simple fact your both gay! Now here's a show on a totally different level!!! South of Nowhere! A show kids can relate to... a show where you can pick a character and be like wow she's kinda like me...I can Relate to what she's going threw! For the simple fact that i'm going threw it right now!!! South of Nowhere is a show about high school! About a girl who is at first sexually confused and then later finds out she's in love with her bestfriend....its a classic love story...except its girl meets girl....Its a show that tells you its okay to be different its okay to feel confused.... and who the hell needs to put labels on love....So!!! We need to keep this show on the air....what else are kids suppose to relate to...I mean they're are a lot of shows out there...that have gay main characters...but none of them are like me...I can't relate to a single character on any of thoose shows for the fact that i'm 18! I haven't expierenced what they have yet....but with South of Nowhere...I most certianly can relate and I don't feel as if i'm going threw it alone...because at least one of the people on the show are going threw the same thing as me..so on a certain extent we are going threw it together...This show really really needs to be kept on the air!!! Kids need self assurance kids need to know that its okay.....So everyone please! Go to www.savespashley.com And do somthing to make a difference.....\Save spashley! Spashley = spencer & ashley. Ashley= Mandy Musgrave Spencer = Gabrielle Christian. Www.savespashley.com. ThankYou Xxxo, Gabby

I am a 27 year old lesbian and I watch South of Nowhere. I wish I had the opportunity to watch such a groundbreaking show when I was growing up a confused teen. Even now, this show has opened my eyes to issues that I never dealt with before. In addtiion, I work in a school setting and I can see how much this show has affected many of my students. It is a shame that it has been cancelled and I hope that the N is prepared to truly justify its reasoning as to why the show was cancelled so prematurely.

It was awful to hear that SON\'s being cancelled, cause it is the show I love, and touched my heart. I've gone through my crazy teens with it, and it really helped me. It's amazing. I really mean it. Watching spashley, I feel so comforted. SON is our story. I think, It's time for us to help them. Save Spashely.

I'm a 29 year old lesbian and I love South of Nowhere. I've always said that I wish that a show like South had been around when I was a teenager. I would have seen that the issues I was dealing with (coming out, acceptance/rejection) were issues that all teens, gay, straight or bi, deal with. It would have been nice to know that I wasn't 'different' or 'wrong' for my feelings. I hope the efforts of SaveSpashley.com and the Spashley fan base can keep this great show on the air!

Im a 20 year old, and yes, I have fallen IN LOVE with South of Nowhere. When the show first began airing, I was struggling majorly with my sexuality before it, and partially during it, but because of it, it has helped me become more comfortable with accepting who I am no matter what others may think, and I have an on going battle with my mother about it all the time. This show is a great support system for other young people growing up who face the same problems. Even with the gay aspect of the show set aside, the problems that each character deal with in some ways has helped others as well, and if it were to keep airing beyond this season, so many other people could overcome things, and learn to deal.
