I agree with all of your points. It would be a great cause to support, since I love the show and I too think it is a form of art, but I would be suspicious of donating money to a disorganized cause. Paypal seems like a system set up for small-money amounts; surely there must be a more efficient means to do it.

Furthermore, even after the money was raised, I am not so sure it would even be picked up by television. What TV really wants is viewers because it's run on advertising, and the more people who watch commercials are the more likely to support the main fuel of TV; and a few people raising a whole lot of money doesn't necessarily equal consistency in viewership over a long period of time. It seems like they're going about it from the backdoor, the other way around - and that's not necessarily the most efficient way to do it in the eyes of a television producer. Even if we are talking about eventual large sums of money. It just seems as if the money that could be raised in such an effort would not be acknowledged by television, but it could be a consideration for some charity event that needs it.

So, in short, I agree and disagree - if that makes sense.
