Want New Amsterdam Season 1 On DVD?

It's been 8 months since New Amsterdam graced our TV screens and still we have no word on a potential DVD release.
The small number of episodes may be working against us, however recent series with a similar number (such as Bionic Woman) have received a proper retail release.

The website "TV Shows On DVD" has, in the past, had some success in helping to inspire the release of sought after TV shows.

They have a page for New Amsterdam where you can let them know that you would buy the series if it were available as:
a) Season Set
b) Best Of
c) Individual Episodes
d) All of the above

If you are interested in purchasing the series on DVD, visit the site and vote! Currently, New Amsterdam sits at a lowly rank of 903rd out of all unreleased shows on their list. Please, help improve this number!

NEW AMSTERDAM RENEWAL CAMPAIGN - Final Update

It has come to my attention that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been cast in a new FOX related project. With this news, comes the end of renewal efforts for New Amsterdam here at NA:F. It's unfortunate that we will not see any further adventures of John Amsterdam but it's time to move on and wish Nikolaj and the rest of the cast and crew all the best in their future efforts.

This site will remain and I'll continue to update it in the future with new content.

NEW AMSTERDAM RENEWAL CAMPAIGN - Contact Regency / FOX!

As we now know, the decision to cancel New Amsterdam was made May 10th, 2008 by FOX. While chances may not be great, there is a possibility that Regency Television can find another home for the show. However, time is in short supply as actors and crew will eventually find other work.

I continue to receive a lot of email from fans, asking what they can do to show their support for New Amsterdam. Many of us still think the "Vintage Postcard" campaign is the way to go. In case you are not aware, forum member "diedye" has suggested a simple yet effective way to attract the attention of TPTB. We are sending FOX vintage style postcards depicting scenes or other graphics which relate to the rich history of the city of New York, John Amsterdam's home for the last 366+ years. We are now expanding this effort to, also, include Regency Television Productions.

You can order Vintage New York Postcards from Amazon, find them at a local stationary store, or even create your own (be mindful of any copyrights)! If you can't easily find NY related postcards, send one featuring your own home town or even just a polite and short letter.

I think it would be worth the price of a stamp to let Regency know you support the show and would like to see more of it.

Regency Television Productions Inc
4024 Radford Ave Bldg 19
Studio City, CA 91604-2101

You may, also, try calling them to discuss the issue at: (818) 655-5562

I think it's, also, advisable to CONTINUE to let FOX know - POLITELY - that you love the show and you think their decision is a mistake. I recommend EVERYONE giving FOX a call on the Viewer Comment Line and letting them know you want to see more of John Amsterdam on your TV screens next season.

The telephone number to dial is: 310.369.3066

Write a short and clearly printed message to show your support for New Amsterdam and address a card to:

Kevin Reilly
President of Entertainment, FOX
10201 W. Pico Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90035

You should send a second card, indicating your support to:

New Amsterdam
P.O. Box 900
Attn: FOX BROADCASTING Publicity Dept.
Beverly Hills, CA 90213-0900

You can, additionally, email FOX (but please do one or both of the above first) at: askfox@fox.com

Also, join us in the New Amsterdam Renewal section of our Forum to discuss this and other ways to support the show!

Finally, spread news of this effort far and wide and direct other fans here for the latest news on this campaign. If you are a member of the press or own an internet site, please mention our efforts. Thanks and Good luck!

New Amsterdam Officially Canceled By FOX On May 10th, 2008

I have received word from David Manson, show runner and executive producer, this morning that confirms it. FOX has officially canceled the series as of yesterday. To quote from his email:

"Yes. Unfortunately, I received word yesterday that Fox has officially cancelled NA. I know this will be a disappointment to the many fans who campaigned so ardently for its renewal. I can only express my gratitude for their passion and hope that perhaps some other network will let John Amsterdam live.

And my thanks to you as well.

Best,

David"

I normally wouldn't quote an entire email outright but I feel this is a message for all of us, every loyal fan.

Also, while FOX has not picked up the series, there remains the possibility that Regency Television will shop the show to other networks and find it a new home. I'll update the site as new information becomes available.

Commiserate with other fans in our forum.

New Amsterdam Canceled (?)

I received word, unofficial at this point in time, that FOX will not be renewing New Amsterdam for another season. I've requested confirmation on this and will update the site as needed. In the meantime, if you feel the need to vent... leave a polite message indicating your displeasure on FOX's Viewer Comment Line. The telephone number to dial is: 310.369.3066

Update: TV Guide's Ausiello is reporting the same thing...

Commiserate with other fans in our forum.

New Amsterdam Renewal Campaign - CONTACT FOX NOW!

The decision to renew or cancel New Amsterdam will likely be made within the next week. I hope all the fans visiting this site have already been sending in their postcards and letters.

Now, due to the short time we have left available I recommend giving FOX a call on the Viewer Comment Line and letting them know you want to see more of John Amsterdam on your TV screens next fall.

The telephone number to dial is: 310.369.3066

If you have postcards or letters you still want to send, please try to get them out over the next two days.

Kevin Reilly
President of Entertainment, FOX
10201 W. Pico Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90035

You may wish to send a second card, indicating your support to:

New Amsterdam

You can, also, email FOX (but please do one or both of the above first) at:

It is easier to influence a network's decision to renew a show BEFORE an official announcement is made. Now is your time to act.

The Spring 2008 New Amsterdam Ficathon

The Spring 2008 New Amsterdam Ficathon is kicking off! In this "Ficathon" the moderator of the event comes up with a list of prompts, (i.e. song titles, words, scenario, could be anything), that each corresponds with a number. Everyone signs up for a number, not knowing what they're going to get, and then the moderator sends them the coordinating prompt. They then write a fan-fiction based on the specifications (and turn it in before a certain date.) Sign-ups end May 9, so if you'd like to participate: hurry, hurry, hurry! Please visit the NA Fan Writing section of the Forum. Comment on the post titled 'Spring 2008 New Amsterdam Ficathon' and have fun!!

New Amsterdam Renewal - Status Update

I've just exchanged a couple of emails with the ever helpful David Manson, Executive Producer / Showrunner, about the status of New Amsterdam's renewal (or not).

At this point the jury is still out and, like I've mentioned previously in the forum, it appears that FOX will look at their new pilots to see what they have before making a decision about NA.

David points out that the ratings were only okay to marginal, amidst stiff competition, but the DVR and download numbers look pretty good.

Also, David does say "the fans should continue their campaign for renewal. I really believe it has an effect."

So, please keep sending those postcards and letters, and try to spread news of the renewal effort where ever you go. We, essentially, have less than 3 weeks to influence the decision before the traditional upfronts.

You can talk about the renewal effort with other fans in our forum.

Episodes: Official Description For New Amsterdam Episode 7 "Reclassified"

Fox has released the official description for episode 7 of New Amsterdam, titled "Reclassified".

"John becomes fixated on granting the dying wish of his first partner, Andy (Chris Bauer), who is slowly wasting away from leukemia caused by a bullet lodged in his heart. Andy wants the unknown shooter brought to justice before he dies, but the case is more convoluted than anyone originally believes. Memories of John’s beginnings as a homicide detective help him not only piece together clues to his friend’s case, but also prompt John to realize he may be nearing the end of his quest for love and mortality. However, he embarks down a precarious path as his investigation leads to altercations with the Russian mafia and culminates with a shocking end on the “Reclassified” episode of NEW AMSTERDAM airing Monday, April 7 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

iF Magazine Interviews New Amsterdam's Zuleikha Robinson

"If you were ever an X-FILES fan, there is a chance that you had a crush on Zuleikha Robinson, when she was really the only leading lady Yves Adele Harlow on THE LONE GUNMEN spin off series. Robinson’s next television stint was as the conniving prostitute Gaia on HBO’s ROME, and the actress admits more than a fondness for offbeat characters. When iF MAGAZINE spoke to the strikingly beautiful actress about her series NEW AMSTERDAM, we also found out more about how this actress has managed to have such a varied career over the last few years."

Broadcast: House Replaces Canterbury's Law as Lead-in For New Amsterdam

If you've been following FOX's Monday night ratings over the last two weeks, you may be aware that Canterbury's Law was severely underperforming as a lead-in for New Amsterdam. I've been suggesting over the last several days that FOX should pull it in favor of House repeats. It seems someone inside FOX was of a similar opinion. On Monday, March 24th, House will air in the 8PM ET slot and likely serve as a lead-in to New Amsterdam for the next 3 weeks! Canterbury's Law has seen it's last Monday and is being quickly moved to Fridays at 9PM ET. I think this is very good news and positive step in helping New Amsterdam stabilize and grow it's fan base. I'll continue to report changes to the schedule, as needed.

Broadcast: Ratings For New Amsterdam Episode 4 "Honor"

New Amsterdam garnered 7.3 million viewers (#4), a 2.3/6 among adults 18-49 (#4) and a Household rating of 4.8 on March 17th according to fast affiliate ratings (Live plus Same Day). The episode gained 1.6+ million viewers compared to the 8:00PM ET lead in of Canterbury’s Law. Although overall figures have dropped, I think it's worth noting that New Amsterdam has grown it's audience coming out of the Canterbury's Law slot two weeks in a row. Perhaps New Amsterdam would be better served if it were paired up with a stronger lead in.

New Amsterdam Season 2 "Vintage Postcard" Fan Campaign

I've been receiving a lot of email from fans recently, asking what they can do to show their support for New Amsterdam. Even when achieving more than respectable ratings and garnering many positive reviews, genre shows often have a hard time surviving on mainstream television. The best time for fans to show their support is BEFORE a show is canceled.

You can read our Renewal page for many general ways to show your support but forum member "diedye" has suggested a simple yet effective way to attract the attention of TPTB. We want to send FOX vintage style postcards depicting scenes or other graphics which relate to the rich history of the city of New York, John Amsterdam's home for the last 366+ years.

You can order Vintage New York Postcards from Amazon, find them at a local stationary store, or even create your own (be mindful of any copyrights)!

Write a short and clearly printed message to show your support for New Amsterdam and address a card to:

Kevin Reilly
President of Entertainment, FOX
10201 W. Pico Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90035

You may wish to send a second card, indicating your support to:

New Amsterdam
P.O. Box 900
Attn: FOX BROADCASTING Publicity Dept.
Beverly Hills, CA 90213-0900

Also, join us in the New Amsterdam Renewal section of our Forum to discuss this and other ways to support the show!

FInally, spread news of this effort far and wide and direct other fans here for the latest news on this campaign. Thanks and Good luck!

The search for the killer leads John to the Spoors, a violent crime family headed by Roosevelt’s kin. The discovery makes John question the actions of his past and the reverberating consequences they have on those around him on the “Legacy” episode of NEW AMSTERDAM airing Monday, March 31 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Exclusive Q&A With Yolonda Ross - Omar's Mother In New Amsterdam

Yolonda Ross made her feature film debut as the female lead in the critically acclaimed HBO feature "Stranger Inside". Her powerful performance earned her the 2001 IFP Gotham Award for Breakthrough Actor. Before and after, this multi-talented entertainer has graced numerous productions and branched out into theatre and singing. Most recently, she made a memorable appearance in New Amsterdam's 2nd episode, "Golden Boy", playing the role of Lily Rae Brown - a love interest for John Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in the 1940's and mother to Omar (Stephen McKinley Henderson). Yolonda has frequented our site & forum in the past and was gracious enough to take a few moments from her busy schedule to answer some questions for fans of the show and her work.

John/NA:F: Let's start with the obligatory question of "How did you get your start in the business"?

Yolonda: I got started in acting after coming to NY from Nebraska. I had the opportunity to do some videos, one of them being the Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right". From there, I realized how easy it was to fall into things in NY and had taken some acting classes, without much happening. I had been working in Fashion for a while as a Buyer. Eventually, while pursuing my music, things started to click for me with my acting. Music is a big key to me understanding the emotions of my characters. My first TV role was on "NY Undercover". I can also be seen on SNL in a lot of the sketches between '94-'96.

John/NA:F: Aside from appearing in numerous TV shows, I believe you recently made your on stage debut this past February in the play "Unconditional". Can you tell us a little about that and how it was for you, being live on stage compared to a recorded performance?

Yolonda: Last night was our last performance. It was amazing. I think we hit a new level of the show last night. You just wish you had one more chance to do it again. This was my first theater performance. I really enjoyed it. I'm used to film more than any of the other mediums. I pretty much feel for me personally it's somewhat the same as far as the acting process, BUT, there is that moment when you are in something and you realize, especially in quiet moments, that the audience is right there with you, that YOU are gripping them and holding them there for a moment, that you can never do again. With a movie or TV the viewer can always rewind and feel, or see that moment again. Also, the long rehearsal process with all the cast all day was different for me. It was almost like being in school.

John/NA:F: To add to your list of talents, you also seem to be an excellent singer judging by the songs being streamed on your MySpace page. Do you have or are you working on any recording projects available to the public?

Yolonda: Thanks for the comments on my music. At this time, I don't have a band. I had recently started working with a friend and her band, but then acting commitments came up. I had actually submitted one of my songs for "New Amsterdam". It was for the scene where we are in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel room. The way the scene played out was I was let into the room, and John was preparing the room for my arrival, champagne, music playing (which is what I submitted) and he was dancing a little to the music while I watched him without him knowing it. This whole opening to that scene was cut, unfortunately. They had me in a beautiful outfit! Not to mention how handsome he looked in his suit.

John/NA:F: Back to TV and your appearance in the new FOX series "New Amsterdam", can you tell me how you got a guest role and a little bit about the role you play?

Yolonda: I got the role of Lily by auditioning. It went just like any other job, but it did take an extended amount of time before getting that part. I had to be ok'd by FOX. I first auditioned for John Coles, the director, then David Manson, which was super sweet. I was very excited about the chance to play Lily. I had never done a period piece before, and the 40's is a great era to play in. Lily was a teacher. She and John know each other due to him being her father's lawyer. They started a relationship that her father knew nothing about. It was a very touching storyline and very interesting how they intergrated that subject into the cop part of the show. I think it was very well done.

John/NA:F: What was it like during your time on the set?

Yolonda: When I had joined the show it really was their first week of shooting. The pilot had already been done months before. So this was sort of the beginning of shooting the show. We shot this the second week in August in lower Manhattan and on the soundstage. Everyone was really cool. The days were really long, 'cause they were just figuring out their groove. It's not an easy thing shooting period stuff. And that's what this show is all about. John is all over in time, and that required the proper hair, proper way of speaking for the time, proper dress. A lot goes into each show.

John/NA:F: Is your role on NA a one time thing or do you think there's an opening for a return of some kind given your relationship to Omar and John should the series continue?

Yolonda: After shooting my segment of "New Amsterdam" and the chemistry we seemed to have on film, there was talk of me coming back into the show somewhere down the line. Also the fact that I'm Omar's mother was another factor. More could be learned about John and Lily's relationship. Omar could have the chance to find out more about his mother. As she died when he was young. I believe it was due to illness. Not sure though.

John/NA:F: Finally, where might fans see you performing next?

Yolonda: My next film is "CHOKE", with Sam Rockwell, and Angelica Houston. Not sure of the release date, probably the summer. Also, on DVD soon, the Bob Dylan movie "I'm Not There".

John/NA:F: Okay, I think that's it! I want to thank you for doing this. I really appreciate you taking the time out and I hope your appearance on "New Amsterdam" brings you a lot of positive feedback.

Yolonda: Thanks guys.

...and thanks again to Yolonda for her time! You can find out more about Yolonda Ross by visiting her official site and MySpace page.

Sound Score: Listing Of New Amsterdam Promo Music Updated - History Repeating

The New Amsterdam Sound Score listing of music used in TV trailer promo videos has been updated to include the track "History Repeating" by the Propellerheads & Shirley Bassey, used in a new trailer this week.

Getting New Amsterdam Ready For Air; The Pilot ... Needed Fixing

From AP/The Candadian Press comes an article covering the preparations and reshoots involved in getting New Amsterdam's pilot episode ready for broadcast. It, also, includes comments from Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and executive producer David Manson.

"A then-and-now comparison reveals a promising concept that, in its first rendition, had potentially fatal flaws.

"New Amsterdam" 2.0 deftly fixes those flaws, and gets the series off to a strong start, thanks to several scenes reshot, a minor role recast, some strategic re-editing, and - underlying all the tweaks - a heightened sense on the part of the producers for what the series is about. Right now the pilot system is losing favour among budget-slashing networks. But the pilot for "New Amsterdam" served a valuable purpose: it was a good way to find the weak spots."

Baggage of immortality haunts Fox's 'New Amsterdam'

Baggage of immortality haunts Fox's 'New Amsterdam'
By Mike Huges
Gannett News Service
Feb. 20, 2008 03:20 PM

TV characters seem to lug lots of personal baggage.

Still, few match John Amsterdam of Fox's "New Amsterdam" series. He has four centuries of baggage.

"It's a complicated life he has," says Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays him.

Long and complicated. Back in 1642, he was given a spell that includes near-eternal life. As the series starts (Tuesday, March 4), he's great at being a police detective, not at being a happy person.

"He has these rich life experiences," Coster-Waldau says. "(But) he's not very good at being with other people."

E!Online's Kristin Recommends New Amsterdam Again

In answer to a question in the "Spoiler Chat" section of Kristin's blog at E!Online, she gives another enthusiastic endorsement of the New Amsterdam and it's star, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau:

"Erin in Paramus, New Jersey: Is that show New Amsterdam ever going to air?

New Amsterdam actually airs next week, on Mar. 4. I have seen the first two episodes—and let's just say, he might be 400 years old, but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (who plays John Amsterdam) may need to become a Future (Second) Husband. (BTW, you might remember Nikolaj from the movie Wimbledon.) Although the premise is a tad far-fetched, Amsterdam is still a pretty enjoyable hour of television, and the second hour has a pretty shocking reveal about John's family. I recommend it!"

  • March 6th, 2008 (Thursday) 9:00PM ET: Episode 2, following American Idol

E!Online's Kristin Lists New Amsterdam among "Most Watchable" Series

E!Online's Kristin has picks for the 21 most watchable new and returning series slated to come out this winter and early spring. New Amsterdam is listed among them and she has this to say about the show:

"New Amsterdam (Fox, Feb. 22): Stop me if you've heard this before: The hero is a tall, dark and handsome immortal with a unique skill set that he uses to protect and defend the helpless and the innocent. While living in the shadows, he yearns for a genuine emotional connection, but true love and happiness remain a glimmering dream in the distance...It's not the most original concept in TV history, but you know what, maybe that's okay. Star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is superhot, and the stories seem fun. The bad news? This show offers up a few wackadoodle scenarios that might make you giggle and/or remind you of stuff you just saw on Moonlight. Anyway, give it a shot and report back with your findings. This one could really go either way..."
