This is a spoiler-free review of United We Fan, which will be available on Digital HD on December 4.
For a hardcore TV watcher, few things are more frustrating than seeing one of your beloved shows die an untimely death because of cold, uncaring network executives. And few things are more rewarding than joining in on fan campaigns to save those shows and make the corporate bean counters realize their mistake. That's the thrust of United We Fan, director Michael Sparaga's deep dive into the small screen's most rabid and devoted fanbases.
United We Fan doesn't focus on any one group of fans or TV controversy, instead casting a wide net and exploring the evolution of fan campaigns from the '60s up until the present. Appropriately enough, the early parts of the film focus a lot on Bjo and John Trimble, the couple who rallied Star Trek fans to rescue the series from an early (well, earlier) cancellation and effectively paved the way for every fan campaign that followed. The film also shines a spotlight on Dorothy Swanson and other members of Viewers for Quality Television. That once thriving organization rose to prominence in the '80s by campaigning for the renewal of female-driven series like Cagney & Lacey and Designing Women.
