I don't think you'll realistically find many people interested in a preservation. I was a huge War of the Worlds fan and the best way I can sum up season 2 is that it was an alternate reality version of the show. There were many many contradictions with the first season and the change was just too drastic for the show to pick up any new fans. Harrison Blackwood suddenly grows a beard and uses a gun for one thing. It's supposedly six months after the end of season 1 and the entire world is suddenly some dystopian madhouse. I sat through every episode hoping that things would get better, and some episodes weren't too terrible, but compared to what came before it was like watching another show entirely. Adrian Paul's character wasn't actually bad, but overall season 2 = epic fail. Epic, epic fail. It's Galactica 1980 all over again. I think Heroes may be on the verge of going this route too. Season 4 is a bore....
