Below is a list of addresses to write to in hope of getting "Swamp Thing"'s reruns either shown again, or picked up by another network. Hinting at reviving the show, if you'd like that, wouldn't hurt either.
IMPORTANT: If you find out that any of these addresses are faulty, or that there are new heads of various networks, CONTACT ME. In the words of Maeg, "This list is only as recent as you make it."

From the SWAMP THING FAQ:
"Other ideas would be to write to various SF and media magazines such as
Starlog, Starburst, Cult Times, TV Zone, Spectrum, SFX, Dreamwatch, Sci
Fi Entertainment etc., and try to get them to print articles on the
series and give it publicity. A campaign can only work with viewers, and
a series needs publicity to help that. If Swampy is going to be revived
in any form, it needs exposure.
"On a last note, we've heard that there has been some sort of buyout of
Universal assets -- including USA Networks and Sci Fi Channel -- by the
Home Shopping Network. How this will affect the Sci Fi Channel,
or any possible revival (as well as re-run showing) is unknown. Any
information on this would be most welcome. Either way, a letter to HSN
wouldn't go amiss."
