The March First Job – Bring Back Leverage
On March 1st, we will be sending letters to TNT. We thought it may be a good idea if everyone sent a letter or a few lines as well. So just email us something and we’ll print it off and include it with our letter. We will also include a USB drive with links to all the comments and articles that have been posted about the cancelation of Leverage in order to show that the show should return.
If you want to participate, post a comment, visit the contact us page, or email us at renpei.chen@gmail.com. Let’s steal ourselves a season six and bring back Leverage!

Great idea! I’d be happy to donate a bottle of Irish whiskey so you can send it with the care package. A nice big statement so hopefully they’ll take the time to read our letters.
Should we mail letters out from our own locals as well?
Well, if your doing Irish Whisky, it would be best if you mailed it
Also, we should probably get more people to join in
I wouldn’t mind mailing it. If you put everything together for the USB so I can just download it and throw it on a stick, I can put it in the mail. We can work it out as we get closer to the date. Hopefully you’ll get lots of fan letters emailed to you.
I am researching to see if Nate had a specific brand of Irish Whiskey.
One Grifter source suggested that Nate drinks “Jameson” Irish Whiskey. But that is unsubstantiated.
He did order Jameson onscreen, althogh whether or not it’s his go-to brand is anyone’s guess.
Great idea! will think of what i want to say and i will email it to you!!
I love your ideas! I’ll email you!
This is FANtabulous guys and gals!! I am in!! I will be e-mailing you! I am excited to be a part of this Con! Thanks for the invite!
after writing to TNT, maybe we can write to other networks as well? Although, I’m not sure which network Dean is approaching for bringing back Leverage
Great idea! Why cancell a show with growing ratings?
Pingback: An Update from Jimmy Papadakalis - The Season Six Job | Save Leverage
leverage is a must have show. it offered so much more than just amusement. it required mind exercize to try to figure out the cons. one of the best shows ever. we need it back
We need leverage back .. Great going guys
We need Leverage.
Leverage will be back!
Emailed you a letter. Thank you for this campaign! We need a Season 6, job well done!
I think a pic of the team sitting, facing a potential client, saying the opening line, “The rich and powerful take what they want, we steal it back for you. We provide Leverage!” And, a notation that they have angered the “pack”. I got this idea awhile back after a pic was posted with this caption. I think it was on the CK Vote & Promote site.
Please bring Leverage back! How can a show that has so many fans be cancelled? It won The Peoples Choice Award for Best Cable Drama! That says more than an Emmy. Because it was chosen by the people, the fans!
Leverage is one of the few ‘good’ shows that I enjoy watching. It’s not reality TV, which make it so that I want to watch it. And the characters feel more real than a good portion of the other shows that we are able to watch.
Please Give Us LEVERAGE!
Leverage is one of the best show’s ever made. I called TNT at least 30 times during season 5 requesting that they give us a season 6!
So, Let’s Steal a Season 6!!!!!
Then on to the next Con, Let’s Steal a Season 7!
Hi!
I am writing to ask that you please bring back Leverage. How can such a good show win a People’s Choice award and be canceled all in the same year. IT obviously is a show with lots of fans to win one of those awards. You know it will continue to well on your station. Please bring it back. I LOVED the cast of characters and the premis of the show. Thanks.
Give it another shot, did you not watch the people’s choice awards. It’s a great show.
Come on, there not too many good shows and this is def one of them, we love this show
Please, not just to TNT, but to USA, ION, and any other networks that might pick it up! We’d have better luck there. I’ll certainly send letters!
I’m really missing the show. I hope it comes back in one form or another. Love the characters and can’t imagine not seeing them again in new “jobs”.
I would love it if this plan works. Leverage is pure good, clean fun. My favorite show to watch and so much fun to share with friends and family. Please bring Leverage back!
PLEASE bring back our show!
Leverage is one of the best, if not the best shows ever, with an amazing cast, crew, and writers!!! It deserves to be back on TV!!!
My family would wait with anticipation for each new episode of Leverage to come on. We would greatly appreciate it if you would pick it back up so we can go back to watching it.
Thanks!

Leverage made me happy with my inner Hardison (geek) and Parker (awkward) and ever week I would get excited in anticipation of the next new episode. I was devastated when it was cancelled. Please, bring Leverage back!
Leverage was clever, funny, well-written, and one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Please bring Leverage back!
Leverage was one of the best TV-series with a perfect scenario and actors. It should be back and have more than 6 seasons.
It is much much better than some other TV-series.
Please, bring back the Leverage.
Please, someone, bring back Leverage! We miss it… It was one of the only decent remaining shows on TV…
Hi,
i’m from germany and we also love leverage in germany.
So i hope it will get a new season or two, three, four……
Leverage is the best tv serie at the moment!!
I’m sharing for friends:
TNT,
We need MORE, not fewer, shows of Leverage’s caliber. Not every TV viewer wants to watch people desperately prostituting themselves and their families just to make a quick buck from “reality” show pimps.
TNT – In time you’ll realize this ill-conceived move cost you a large fan base with large spending power. More importantly (at least to us), this cost you any balance you held in what I like to think of as a network’s “faith & trust” account. New shows often take a little while for the writers and cast to get into rhythm with one another. Until that “click” happens, viewers continue to watch and support based solely on our faith and trust in the network. We trust that you’ll listen to and respect viewers and provide programming commensurate with our support. (It’s sort of like a longterm relationship. Reliable, supportive, fun even if it’s not always “hot&sexy”.) With this move TNT is like the once-somewhat-attractive-but-now-balding-&-paunchy man who goes thru a mid-life crisis and leaves his wife of 20+ years to “find something better”, only to learn (too late) what a huge mistake he’d made. There’s no reset button to undo the destruction or repair the trust. It’s gone.
Very nicely written! Applause!
Finally a show that rises above limiting the characters to stereotypes! The Brit isn’t uptight, the blonde isn’t dimwitted, the tech geek isn’t Asian, the Black guy isn’t an illiterate thug, and the “protector” isn’t a mountain of a man with more muscles than brains. Additionally, the female characters are strong, intelligent and among the top in their fields. Best of all, they aren’t relegated to the typical roles of “sex kitten constantly in need of being rescued” OR “I must dress and act like a man to prove my competence.” Meanwhile, the male characters are free of the usual stereotypes: Eliott is passionate about cooking and Hardison is openly compassionate and empathetic. We have more than enough “reality” shows, Law & Order-type crime drama shows, and medical shows. (Even as a HUGE fan of “House”, the newly-cancelled “Private Practice” and past-its-hey day “Grey’s Anatomy”, I’d prefer to see innovative programming that makes us sit up and take notice, instead of lazy programming designed solely to pick up another show’s leftovers.)
You had a rare gem here that offered several more seasons of storylines brought to life by an exceptionally talented cast and cadre of writers. It’s a People’s Choice Award nominee with strong DVD sales. Yet, for TNT, this wonderful combination somehow translates to “MUST BE CANCELLED”. Truly disappointing.
Once again you have my Applause!
Leverage is a rare – and much needed – opportunity to watch a diverse team of wonderfully flawed people bridge the gap between fairness and justice. Leverage’s intriguing storylines; amazingly talented cast and guest stars; strong writers; and exceptional combinations of Action, Comedy and Drama in EACH episode explain how this show won a People’s Choice Award . . .the first show in history to do so after it was cancelled. Signing this petition is extremely important to me because this is a sharp, entertaining show — with an incredible fan base — that should not be allowed to get lost among TNT’s mistakes. With television programming going the way of the Kardashians and Honey Boo Boo, we NEED “Leverage” and more shows of its caliber.
OK, a Standing Ovation for all three comments! You are a awesome and persuasive writer!
What an awful mistake you’ve made! Hopefully it’s not too late to rectify it . . . and, ideally, learn from it.
Renew our faith in TNT’s programming leaders . . . renew “Leverage”.
Great idea. Does this mean we are providing our own leverage? A plan is forming in my head.
Pingback: The Season Six Job | March First Job Delayed - The Season Six Job
The March 1st job is on hold due to the back order of the customized USB drives. All previous letters and posts are still safe and sound and ready to go! You can use this opportunity to write another letter and e-mail it to us at http://www.theseasonsixjob.com or leave us another post. We want to flood TNT with heart felt letters asking for Leverage to re returned.
There is this show called “Leverage” and it just got cancelled.*sigh* And there this thing called Resolutions and I really want fufill them and one of them was try to bring back show.
This amazing show is not the rest of the shows it dont always have killing and death in it, it show the bright side of things, which the world need.
Dont get me wrong this is not like those shows that is over jolly shows. But it’s reality, it shows that things can change and that there is a better side to the world than Crime.
The thing that ties all of the show together is the amzaing characters, which has a horrible past to lead them where they are now.
Nathan Ford (Mastermind) played by Timothy Hutton. His ill son died because his company he worked for refuesed to pay for treatment, reasulting in his son death and his divorce to his wife Maggie. Seeking revenage had put a team together of theievs.
Sophie Deveraux (Grifter) played by Gina Bellman. Sophie tried to make a career in acting in front of the cameras and failed. But fufilled her destiny by becoming an amazing Grifter.
Alec Hardison (Hacker) played by Aldis Hodge. Was raised in a foster home, by an older woman who he calls “Nana” which lead to him hacking into acconts and getting money, which caused him to be a hacker for life.
Eliot Spencer (Hitter) played by Christian Kane. Dont let the name fool you, because he’s an lovable teady bear. Lived on the streets for a while, but was brought into cooking. Served in the U.S army making him scared for the lives he took.
Parker (Theif) played by Beth Riesgraf.
Had an abusive childhood in several foster home. Reasulting for her to live on the streets, which caused her to steal and becoming Socialy awkward. Got off the streets and was trained by Archie leech a master thief, which made her an expert theif.
All of them was bad turned into good. Turned into morden-Robinhood. Amazing cast who deserves a sixth season. Help sign these three petitions and try to save Leverage.
It’s important. Will you sign it too? Here’s the links:

Leverage is an amazing show and I need to see it back on my television! I embraced so many of the qualities that are lacking on today’s tv shous. This cast of characters had so much chemistry together and made every episode exciting! I watch the reruns repeatedly but cannot wait for new ones to come back!
Leverage is the only show that made me fall in love with the characters! I loved watching how they brought down the bad guys, the way Eliot and Hardison had a love/hate relationship (loved to hate each other) like most brothers do. Even the Pardison dynamics. Why TNT cancelled the best show ever after announcing they were getting rid of Southland (only to do the complete opposite on both) is beyond me! There’s still too many stories to tell, too many bad guys to take down, even exploring other ideas involving the Pardison relationship! There are other ways to bring the crew back, but we need at least a season 6! Bring back the best show ever, TNT!
And get rid of Monday Mornings as well as Southland! I can’t stand either of those shows! They don’t capture my attention like Leverage does!
I miss LEVERAGE!!!! It was the best show on TV….bar none!!!!! Please bring it back as a regular series….or a yearly made-for-tv movie!!!
We want Leverage! No TV show has opened up so much to it’s fans with behind the scenes looks, tweets, facebook feeds and access to local media. We became part of this family in a way that other shows just didn’t offer. Great writing, great acting, we need this back on our screens.
I miss Leverage so much! I have the DVDs, but it’s not the same! I want new episodes, new stories, new banterings, new one-liners! Please! A smart network should pick up this one-of-a-kind show.
Executives at TNT, please reconsider your decision to cancel Leverage. It is a stimulating show, that appeals to the intellect as well as one that contains great entertaiment value. I know that you have stated there were a number of factors influenced your decision, including declining ratings. However, I respectfully would like to submit that the decline in ratings could have simply been the result of a poor time slot, day of the week, or simply a difficulty in locating the show due to the fluctuating scheduling by the network.
I know these highly talented actors, actresses, and crew members will certainly be snapped up by others (ie. Beth and Aldis) who appreciate their talents and abilities. Please give Leverage fans our Season 6, and we will prove our loyalty and thankfulness. Maybe we can even get the whole cast back intact when they see how devoted we are. We will continue to hope and fight for our beloved show.
We need Leverage back. It is a one of a kind show with a cast of characters and plot lines not seen since the A Team. In a world where reality TV shows reign because they are cheap we need shows with actual real stories and characters deeper than a puddle.
Nate’s preferred brand of whiskey is Jamieson. I saw it on the bar during one episodes and realized I have the same bottle in my kitchen.
TNT please reconsider your decision to cancel the high quality show loved by millions, including new followers that have only seen it on DVDs, Leverage. If you decided to give Leverage a season 6, you would most definitely not by disappointed by the ratings or the loyal, supportive following that you would gain.
Executives at TNT:
In yet another desperate attempt to appeal to your sense of logic and reasoning, I am composing this missive for the sake of bringing back the television show, Leverage.
Admittedly, I came late to the party, so to speak. I was unaware of what a brilliant, action-packed show this was until a marathon was featured on ION television.
This should tell you something over at TNT. Marathons work! Perhaps, better advertising or promotions of any type would have propelled this show into the substantial ratings it not only managed to sustain, but would have additionally amassed if it were properly promoted on TNT.
I love this show for all of the reasons others here have stated. I love the writing, the chemistry between the actors, and the feeling of positivity that this show brought. I will forever be entertained by the various antics performed by these talented people via DVDs that were developed for viewing.
You may have taken our show away, but not our love and desire for a family of 5 lovable thieves (6 with Jeri Ryan-Tara Cole-as Sophie’s griffter replacement in Season 2).
I believe that you will see that Leverage, with the proper promotion, will bring the viewership and the advertising dollars that seem to be the bottom line with networks like yourself.
Please bring Leverage back.
Thank you.
Right now tv is lacking variety. Every channel has the same type of show crime, comedy, drama. Nothing different. TNT had Leverage!! a very unique show with a HUGE following. Not only being show by the People’s Choice Award WE THE FANS got for the show. But by the thousand of #SaveLeverage pleas put on twitter DAILY! Every poll that Leverage is a part of, It wins… BY A LANDSLIDE! TNT and the wonderful show LEVERAGE had a massive following and an oustanding number of viewers waiting for its return. It is US. your VIEWERS! we are what make your network. WE are the ones tunning into your station. And we did that to watch a show we love. You broke our hearts cancelling it. With all the love and dedication that we have for the show LEVERAGE, PLEASE give us a season 6. You wont be disappointed by your ratings increase! and you will be keeping your viewers happy!
Thank you!
I really appreciate this post. I have been looking all over for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You have made my day! Thank you again
Thanks to this blog I deepened my knowledge.
Impressive! I mean it.
I’ve been wondering… What if people could convince TNT based on DVD pre-sales… Before the season airs — like through Amazon, who permits pre-orders… Perhaps someone could work their magic to get TNT to agree to a ‘leave it up to the fans’ pre-order campaign and let the interest speak for itself? Long shot, but it could create a whole new model if it worked.
Keep fighting for leverage!! We can do it! Keep voting and pressuring TNT!! Let’s make leverage the 6th uncancelled show of the season! Don’t give up!! Save leverage!
We need Leverage back! Television executives are not giving us much to choose that is original, interesting or substantive. What is this “reality tv” garbage that keeps spewing forth at us? This is sheer laziness/cheapness. Viewers would definitely prefer the clever brilliance of Leverage. Each episode was creative, entertaining, multi-layered, interesting and fun. The repartee was truly witty, the relationships among and between the actors and their characters is so fun. What current shows approach these qualities? Very few, I can assure you. And none of the “reality shows” even begin to come close. Bring Leverage back! And when you do, properly promote the show so that those of us who love it and want to watch it have the chance to follow it. Keep a reasonable and regular schedule for this show. Don’t pull the stunts you did in Leverage’s fourth and fifth seasons. I struggled to find which night Leverage was on each week, it kept getting moved. Give this show another run- it will be more than worth your time, effort and investment- especially if you give it any actual support! We want our Leverage back!
