What would you do to save your favorite TV show? Send in peanuts to CBS, a la "Jericho"? Mail sunflower seeds to USA to save "The 4400"?

What if you’re trying to save a show on Lifetime (please don’t stop reading!) — and you’re a cancer survivor?

First of all, you’d be ony of my closest friends, Leah, who beat cancer twice before she even turned 30 and blogs about her journey online.

Then, you’d start a Facebook group, "Save Vivy and Lifetime’s Side Order of Life," dedicated to saving "Side Order of Life," which fans believe is one of TV’s best portrayals of a cancer survivor. You get hundreds of people on board, calling the higher-ups at the network with pleas, and now starting a campaign of mailing in menus. (Menus? Side order? Get it?)

Then you’d probably attract national attention for trying to help your cause. (To which the always adorable Leah e-mailed me this morning: "HOLY CRAP. Look what I started. Whoa nelly.") And then you’d be befriending some of the show’s stars, who’ve since joined the Facebook group.

I can’t say I’ve ever watched "Side Order of Life." (I know — me? A show with former "90210"-er Jason Priestley? Something, anything, on Lifetime?) But now that I know what it means to Leah — and many other cancer survivors — you can bet that WHEN the show comes back on the air, I’ll be programming it into my DVR.

And if you’re a cancer survivor, someone who knows a cancer survivor or someone who realizes when something is important to someone else, please let your feelings be known.

Besides, it’s good to have an occasional break from those so-bad-they’re-fantastically-good Tori Spelling movies.
