As the third season wound down, actors on the show filmed pilots for new shows to possibly air in the 2005–06 television season. Fans of "American Dreams" organized a campaign to save the show, sending over 5000 supportive e-mails to NBC after the season finale and several thousand postcards to the network as well. On May 4, 2005, fans flew an aerial banner over NBC's Burbank studios in support of the show, even as the show's sets were being dismantled at Sunset-Gower Studios, where it was filmed.
