- aircat, on 04/09/2008, -5/+42I'm so glad this got posted. All our efforts, large and small, are making a real difference for JERICHO. (PV544)
- nobodysbaby, on 04/09/2008, -4/+32I have spent many hours today researching Comcast and if this deal goes through then it is a big win for all. Comcast has INTERNATIONAL ties...the revenues that Comcast would generate into the Jericho production budget would only serve to show Nielsen that advertisers no longer believe in their antiquated numbers.
- terocious, on 04/09/2008, -2/+27Wow, this whole thing never ceases to be interesting. What if the show actually continued with a second run on CBS? If the network was bold enough it could make Jericho part of a year round programming schedule.
- mpbnice, on 04/09/2008, -2/+23While I'm uneasy about the whole Comcast deal - Comcast is not in my area - I can't believe that Carol Barbee would go for anything that would effectively lose a large portion of the Jericho fan base.
- SaveJake, on 04/09/2008, -3/+24I have never seen Comcast fail at anything. If not for Comcast...there would still be no digital cable and all that came with it!!! They always stay one step ahead!
Long Live Jericho!!! - JakeSWE, on 04/09/2008, -1/+22This is good news. Even if Comcast get the exclusive to air it first, CBS might still have the option to re-run the episodes on their own channel. Jericho WILL be back! Comcast! Make my day!
- BlueChivalry, on 04/09/2008, -2/+21Its nice to see the value of the fan base recognised. A Jericho deal includes us. How can that be passed up!
- namelessNN, on 04/09/2008, -1/+19please please please bring back jericho. the last thing we need is yet another lame ass csi clone. stupid short sighted money grubbing execs.
- jjones07, on 04/09/2008, -2/+19We told you it wasn't over yet! : ) (Welcome2CHO)
- PlatPat, on 04/09/2008, -2/+19It ain't over til it's over!
- fani, on 04/09/2008, -0/+17I decided to watch Jericho after all the nuts hoopla... And I actually liked it. Too bad it got cancelled. That was a damn decent show in these days of junk TV.
- KW223, on 04/09/2008, -2/+18I love hearing some good news for Jericho. The fight continues. We don't quit. Let's make history once again!
- nightbird47, on 04/09/2008, -1/+16In these times when chat rooms, games, and all the other ways of watching a show take away audience who will watch if they remember or have time, we're a valuable comodity. Rabid fan bases have always existed, way back to when Charles Dickens wrote his novels a chapter at a time per week, but now with so may ways for the attention to wander and never return we are one of the sure bets. Fans in our numbers who can be counted on to watch and watch should be as important as the numbers where its a hit of miss. We Rangers are pretty stubborn and no way are we done.
- SStang1, on 04/09/2008, -2/+17Jericho is the best show on television.Myself and 7 million other fans are praying another network picks up the ball and runs with it. CBS never gave Jericho a chance in season two, bad time slot, missing characters, slashed budget.
Save Jericho Again !!! - DuffyDirect, on 04/09/2008, -0/+15Jericho is on the frontlines between Columbus and Cheyenne. It's basically become a U.S. enclave with Major Beck's defection, and it's going to be attacked. It also probably holds some symbolic value considering that it was the last stop on Tomarchio's whistle stop tour, Hawkin's family is still there -- and the John Smith who launched the nuke attacks is still on the loose in the A.S...
Hawkins and Chavez and whatever is left of the agency will probably make themselves known to the Columbus government as well, and receive further assignments, or perhaps learn that the Columbus government isn't so lovely either... - artzylady, on 04/09/2008, -1/+15You bet it's interesting to many parties. There is definitely a lot to be gained from Jericho's future seasons, and it's about time that is being realized! Long live Jericho!!!
- GallopingCow, on 04/09/2008, -0/+14Why doesn't stuff like this ever happen for Firefly? Poor Joss. :(
- foxgray1, on 04/09/2008, -1/+15The production crew on Jericho are master story tellers, and the ensemble cast is the best in the business. There are so many unanswered questions, Jericho must go on for many seasons.
- qprice78, on 04/09/2008, -1/+13I'm really happy to hear this! Jericho was the only show that kept us going through the writer's strike....Tuesday nights will never be the same!
- sb66, on 04/09/2008, -0/+12Jericho is a great show. Plus I learned Cheyenne is pronounced 'shay-ann' and not 'chey-en' like I figured.
- justice7, on 04/09/2008, -1/+12I know many people who love Jericho, i don't watch a lot of TV, but Jericho is pretty damn cool. Has its moments where my stomach turns (stanley moments) but overall.. good *****.
- cowsgonemadd3, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11NUTS!!
- adml_shake, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11If Comcast pulls this off my burning hate for them might turn into a simmering annoyance. Might even be enough for me to get their cable service when I move into my next apartment.
- SilverBadger, on 04/09/2008, -0/+10I want to see Jericho continue as much as anyone here, but you're evidencing battered wife syndrome in hoping that CBS keeps the show. I'm telling you to leave that bastard now; he'll only beat you again. A different network that is able to love and cherish this show is what we need - not more of this abuse from that fat, drunken, wife-beater wearing network.
- theghoul, on 04/09/2008, -3/+13Bring back "The Unit" !
- DuffyDirect, on 04/09/2008, -1/+10How does it feel?
What?
Making history... - Professr, on 04/09/2008, -0/+8It may end up that the center of the resistance ends up in Jericho, or at least an important anti-cheyenne organization.
- nseb, on 04/09/2008, -0/+7peanuts
- sangjmoon, on 04/09/2008, -0/+7The bigger story of the nuke and the government conspiracy was interesting, but what mainly interested me about the first season was the struggle to survive and retain human dignity under stark dog-eat-dog circumstances. Instead of a gradual growth, the second season magically eliminated many of the hardships of Jericho which made the show less interesting to me. It's like a role playing game where a lot of the interest is in growing your character. If you were able to obtain God mode at the start, the interest goes down quicker.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+7Either way, I am just glad we got some kind of ending to the show. Props to the network for at least giving us that.
- DeathfireD, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6The problem is most networks want to take it for a "test spin" first to see how many dedicated TV viewers there really are. If the network doesn't see the amount of views they want, they tend to shy away from the show and put back their reruns of CSI and Law and Order since thats a guaranteed profit for them even though most of us are sick of those god damn shows. I agree with Terocious, what really needs to happen is a network has to accept the show for a year round contract and it has to stay on the same time slot for the whole year. That's the only way you're gonna see the show pick up. Thats how crap like Law and Order or CSI became so popular. Networks would air 4 or 5 hour blocks of it for years and since their was nothing else on TV at that time slot everyone would watch it. Now it's gotten to the point where people have actually become fans of the shows.
- heathtown, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6Like I've said many times throughout the land of internets, this show will live on. As for the die hard fans of (insert your favorite cancelled show), did you actively try to support the show in its prime?
- terocious, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6Truthfully I only thought it would be funny if after all the "shopping the show talk" It ended up back on CBS but either way CBS has the rights to Jericho and will ultimately decide what it wants to do with it. NBC has announced a transition to year round programming and I think the other networks will follow suit. So, if Jericho does end up back on CBS yes, in the words of Ray Charles: "I'll take her back again. One more time."
- DeadPlasmaCell, on 04/09/2008, -2/+8Eff all that, bring back Arrested Development! ( I did fancy Jericho though )
- Fedaykin311, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6SPOILERS:
Jericho is a decent show, but I think it would be difficult to come up with a non contrived plot at this point. The "series finale" basically removed any plausible reason for the dinky town of Jericho to be important in the larger story going on. In S2 it was plausible for Jericho to be the center of attention for the show and the characters because of Hawkins and the bomb. This is what made it plausible that there would be a large military force and attention from J&R on the small town.
Now that the nuke and Hawkins are in Texas and a civil war has started, Jericho becomes just another small country town with no real strategic or logistic value. - VBDon, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6Jericho is a much better than average show but I'm not sure CBS will let 7M viewers keep them from cancelling it. Joan of Arcadia was much higher quality, had 8M die hard fans, and was much cheaper to produce but CBS cancelled it anyway. CBS is just one of those networks that can't handle quality television. They don't know how to schedule and don't want to.
Maybe Fox or the Sci-Fi network can pick it up. - DivisibleByZero, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5They should also bring back Space: Above and Beyond...
- DivisibleByZero, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5From past digg threads, I get the feeling I'm in the minority, but.. I like the earlier episodes better when they were all so confused and more focused on rebuilding the community. Once everybody knew what was going on and politics entered, it just turned into a 24 look alike. At this point, they'll never be able to bring the show back to its peak (by my standards anyhow), but it's still a great show.
- PHiZ187, on 04/09/2008, -1/+6Perhaps this show would be a good vehicle for a new direct-to-consumer distribution model? Kind of like OVA in japan, straight to DVD without the stigma of being a "lesser" project. The loyal fanbase means that they have a good chance of getting fans to pay directly. It would be a good experiment to disprove the idea that everyone is a pirate and that people will not support artists/productions that they enjoy.
- Namesbond, on 04/09/2008, -1/+6***** yeah! Who knows I also thought Friday Night Lights was dead.
- assbeard, on 04/09/2008, -1/+6I would love to see a season 3 and have them listen to what fans like about the show and what they don't like. It's time that tv execs recognize that they make these shows for fans, not critics etc.
- JFallon126, on 04/10/2008, -1/+6Oh god...please, please let this happen...
- macslut, on 04/09/2008, -1/+6They should launch this as a whole new show. For the fans, it would still just be season 3, but it could be promoted and done as a new show, and new viewers could jump in without being lost. Season 2's ending totally supported the ability to do this.
- adml_shake, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5Screw you, it did not.
- DivisibleByZero, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5I just hope they realize the AS and US are both evil, and Jericho becomes part of Texas.
- nospinhere, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5I would love to see jericho come back, but never at CBS. They need to move to a network that doesn't have a benchmark of 10 million viewers for success. Jericho could consistently get 2 - 4 million viewers a week and become a top show at Sci Fi or TNT or something.
- dracostimpy, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4Yeah, it kinda sucks that about 2 seasons' worth of story arc have gone down the drain. I'm afraid viewers will be put off if it does come back and returns to real time instead of barreling along at warp speed. That said, it would be nice to see the war between Cheyenne and Texas. GIVE ME BACK MY SHOW!!!
- yunus, on 04/09/2008, -2/+6Yay for Jericho possibly being alive. But ughhh for it being on Comcast.
- jenniferjill, on 04/09/2008, -1/+5I'm a big fan and would love to see it come back but I won't hold my breath.
- liquidhalcyon, on 04/09/2008, -1/+5Comcast failed at Stopping Time Warner from buying them out. And it failed at bittorrent.
