Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Thank You James - Variety AD

Monday 24 March 2003, by Webmaster

WONDERFUL, wonderful full page ad in today’s Daily Variety (March 24, 2003). With the Oscar news, the issue is sure to be much read, which is wonderful for our "Blondie Bear." Thanks to JM for inspiring us, and thanks to the "Thank You, James" campaign from savespike.com. I too have loved every minute of Spike’s journey from monster to man...

Isn’t it nice when nice people do nice things for other nice people? :)

This is the savespike website that has a template of the advertisement. You can probably get this paper at a specialty news stand in England, but I don’t know for sure. So, here are the addresses you can try if you want the real thing:

In the USA, Subscription Inquiries (800) 323-4345 5700 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 120 Los Angeles, CA 90036 (323) 965-4476 In the UK: 84 Theobald’s Road London, WC1X 8RR UK (44) 20 7611 4580 You can also check out

Hope you find a copy. I’m going to treasure mine!

P.S. Please note: there is a "Daily Variety" and a "Variety." One is the daily version, the other is the weekly version - and they are owned by the same company and look similar. Our JM tribute is in the "Daily Variety" for Monday, March 24th.

Buffy Fans Pay Tribute To Spike

Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer have bid actor JJames Marsters farewell with a full-page advertisement in Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety.

The longrunning Sarah Michelle Gellar-fronted show is set to come to an end in May and fans of Marsters’ character Spike have taken the opportunity to thank the actor for his efforts.

The ad, paid for by the Thank You James Ad Campaign, reads,"Over the course of six years, as Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we watched as you took a monster and made him into a man.

"You delighted us, thrilled us, made us laugh, and broke our hearts, but above all, you made us believe.

"The many fans of James Marsters the world over would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his invaluable contributions to the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and his unflagging generosity towards his fans."
