Deez nuts are for you, CBS! - Hazardc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Thanks for the information
I really just started getting into the show, and am 4 episodes from finishing the first season, now im kinda bummed
the show started out kinda corny, but the episodes consistently got better and better IMO. Ive watched a few on cbs.com even, and everyone i introduce to the show ends up wanting to watch it whenever i do.... This is literally the only network tv show i watch.
Man i just hope there's other people out there that will help get this show back, i dont want a lame ass finale, i just want another season. - alabamasucks, on 10/11/2007, -9/+6Heroes is better
- jcrash, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3CS is at fault for the poor performance in the second half of the season. The first half moved slow..then they took a forever long hiatus and ran the good episodes after everyone had already forgot about it. Screw baseball. We don't want baseball.
- journey15, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2I am sick of the practice of canceling shows with no notice, I know they want to see the reaction, BUT at least at the end of the episode put up a notice with contact info and a cancellations statement. I took digg for me to know for sure it was canceled!!!!
- kcoriginal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Dont slow down people! Dont let it die! I just sent 5 hand-written letters to CBS NY and LA... what have you done?!
It CAN work!
Just take 10 minutes and 50 cents to send one freakin letter... keep em flowing!
I almost didnt do anything but be bummed out... but I just happened to grab a pen and paper and once I started, I stopped at 5. I'll write more tomorrow... I'll send 5 every Wednesday all summer.

- JiMiThInG, on 10/11/2007, -3/+31Maybe I'll mail off a pack of nuts tomorrow. I've only watched the pilot episode of Jericho but it along with the good buzz I had heard about the show was enough for me to have had been planning on buying season 1 on DVD. However now I know the season ended with a cliff hanger, and that it has been cancled I will no longer be spending my 50 or 60 bucks on it. Smart move CBS.
- 83457, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Rent it then :-)
- Pilgrim, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Download it.
- JoCliMe, on 10/11/2007, -21/+10This is the irony I believe in (for most of us anyway)
We killed the show...why? It's simple (once again I assume for most of us) I torrent the show, don't watch it on TV...so, me and the other 100,000 people on the single Jericho torrent I use don't watch the show on the station, don't boost the ratings, and so the show seems only partly as popular as it really is.
Then again...I could be wrong- rey1867, on 10/11/2007, -2/+31the way the Nielsen ratings are calculated is faulty, so downloaders didnt have any effect on the ratings. more details in the interview
http://torrentfreak.com/meet-eztv-the-leading-tv-torrent-distribution-group/ - leontes, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19You don't watch the commercials, so it doesn't matter that you and your buddies watch it. Why should they care if you are just going to watch the content?
- SyFyMichael, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20That would only make a difference if any of the 100,000 torrent watchers were Nielsen families.
- anti_hax0r, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18it's not torrents, stop watching American Idol!!!!
- PueSi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20They should release torrents with ads, I wouldn't mind watching ads to support the networks.
- rifkida, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5@joclime
You are right, and I agree with you. Unfortunately some of us don't live in the US and we can't watch the great US programming that Americans enjoy so readily. In which case the torrent is perfect. Which makes me wonder why they don't have some one behind a desk at these networks checking to see if thier show might be a popular download. Doesn't it make sense to do so? - kernelhappy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13IMO the mid season lull is what killed this show. At the beginning of the season my wife and I were really into Jericho, probably around episode 5 or 6 the story line slowed down, started to get a little soap operaish. Eeverything was too sanitized to be post apocalypse, not long after an apocalypse people were milling the streets like it was a normal day, it just didn't make sense, it's supposed to be a post-apocalyptic story. By the time the show went on break my wife and I were no longer into it. If I hadn't forgotten to cancel the DVR series recording I probably wouldn't have seen the show get better. By the end of the season the show was markedly improved and progressing the way I hoped it would when it went south at the midway.
I think they did a great job of getting it back on track and setting up what looked to be a compelling second season (even if it was a bit 24ish). Given some of the muck on TV these days I strongly believe that CBS would be better off cutting one of the weaker looking new shows they plan for next season, keeping it as a mid-season replacement and give Jericho another go. But ultimately the mid season writing is what put the show in this situation. - zeroduck, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3@PueSi:
I think CBS or any network starting trackers with their shows--commercials added would be a great idea. CBS already has Jericho on Comcast OnDemand. It usually only has one advertiser, and not all commercial breaks actually have commercials. Seems like it would be a great way to take advantage of the situation. - skaughtm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2its not really post-apocalypse. the rest of the world still exist you know.
- rey1867, on 10/11/2007, -2/+31the way the Nielsen ratings are calculated is faulty, so downloaders didnt have any effect on the ratings. more details in the interview
- dave11980, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5the cbs.com online viewing has commercials I believe.
- LordSkywalker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10TV.com members apparently agree.
http://www.tv.com/index.php?type=29&poll_id=74035&tag=poll;view - kenvsryu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9I have no idea why they put the show on hiatus. After that I lost track and lost interest.
- SyFyMichael, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9It's a bit complicated, but when networks make initial orders of most seasons, it's only for part of the season. Depending on ratings, and the return for investment, networks then decide partway through the season if they will order more. Some series can produce more episodes quickly, others like Jericho take a little more time because of what's involved. The same was true with "Heroes." One reason why we had to wait so long between March and late April is because the network was still in the process of making the episodes.
- pjam3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26The real problem these days is the fact that a show starts and then suddenly it's off the air for a month or two. By the time it comes back on TV, half the people find something else to watch or they forget about it. It especially is an issue if your just watching it online cause you'll probably forget all about it and move on. If TV has more of these "soap operas" and then have no closure, people will never watch to begin with. Why start watching something that will never have a real ending. The Black Donnelly's, Jerricho. Last year Surface, Invasion and so on. And most of the shows on FOX, all are these "soap opera" like themes. Even the hit of the new year, "Heros" came back after a month or two off and the audience wasn't the same.
What do TV stations expect when you take a break for two months? What do you expect when you have soap operas and keep stringing people along and suddenly bam, it's over and nothing happens. I"m even tired of Lost cause nothing ever happens on that show. It's become another boring typical show that will never end.
For me, I no longer even own a TV. If i need to watch anything, I'll watch it online. Why waste my time if most TV shows are doing nothing but wasting every bodies time with shows that'll never end or have any type of closure or disappear halfway through the season and come back two months later.- tsunamisteve, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3i guess you havent been watching Lost recently. the second half of the season is actually pretty good. and yes, there are tons of plot twists.
- TheWriteGuy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7How about CBS commission a TV movie, essentially giving the show two more episodes, to wrap up most of the major unresolved plotlines? That way they could release a DVD box set with 24 episodes, instead of 22 and a unresolved cliffhanger.
- LordSkywalker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26Or better yet, realize the huge fanbase it has and bring the show back for a second season, seeing as how it's their only strong show that has a chance against the other networks anyways.
- Scopitone, on 10/11/2007, -15/+4Jerichpwnd!
- rburton, on 10/11/2007, -8/+7Everyone! Sign a petition, send a letter, make a phone call. Do something to help save this show. Canceling Jericho is just wrong.
- t86y, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Well I have no reason to watch CBS anymore. Have you all seen next seasons line up... man that is rotten. I like Jericho a lot. Sadly it had a lot of problems. All the networks better step up and start delivering some shows that are actually interesting.
I swear there had two more episodes in line already because I have two friends who were both extras in Jericho (and in parts that you could actually see there faces and couldn't get cut out), but none of the current episodes had them in it... - kahlessreborn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I wonder if they tally the amount of times the show is watched on CBS's Innerube. The only reason i watch Jericho on that instead of from a torrents is I believe they are hopefully checking the amount of views the show gets online. And Innertube does have commercials but thankfully there are usually only 3-10 seconds.
Actually I watch almost all my CBS shows on innertube its more convient than TV plus i have a big monitor and 5.1 surround sound. - TheBigBad, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22I am at wit's end when it comes to television cancellations. Why invest time into watching a new series when it just gets canceled at a whim?
This show had good ratings, decent reviews and alot of momentum. What do they do? Take it off for a few months. When they do decide to put it back and the ratings have dropped a bit (due to their asinine programming decisions) they yank it.
Veronica Mars is a good show, my wife loves it. It has always gotten dismal ratings but at least it was given a chance to try and find an audience. Three seasons and the ratings never went up so yank it, that is understood and justified.
Going by today's standards, SEINFELD would have yanked midway through it's first season. Instead, it was given a chance to come into it's own and went on to become one of the biggest shows in TV history.
Go ahead CBS and replace a good show with an interesting premise with another one of your CSI: ANCHORAGE clones. I wish the boomers would hurry up and die off so we can get something with a new concept to stay on the air. - eambabo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14You all want to save Jericho? Go onto iTunes, suck it up, and buy 3 or 4 episodes. That's what saved The Office for two seasons until it got big time and it's quickly and easily tracked by the network. Yeah, it's money, but you'd spend that on the DVD set (I hope) or by watching commercials if you watched the broadcast. They'll never care how dedicated and how passionate you are about a show (read: Firefly) unless they think they can make money.
Think of it this way: 40,000 people on the petition buy 3 episodes each = 40,000*3*1.99= $240,000. That may not seem like much at first, but when that money shows up for CBS, they'll start to take note. Just think if you could get everyone else you know to buy one episode too. It all adds up- mindwalker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'd be glad to buy three or four episodes on iTunes if I knew it would save the show. Unfortunately, there's no way to know that in advance. I may just buy a few anyway in hopes of it.
- JiMiThInG, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3That's actually a pretty good idea. If your a fan of the show whats 5 bucks to make an effort to save it. Its prob not going to make a difference in the end but I think I'll buy the cheapest iTunes pre-paid card at work (radio shack) and spend most if not all of it on Jericho. TV networks and the way they function right now result in TV being less good then it should be. You know when I'll start spending some serious money on iTunes (I''m a huge TV buff who has no reason to use iTunes right now) when they offer the whole season of something for download at once, 'uncut' or something. Go ahead and keep spoon feeding the masses a 'clean' version of a show and string out the aprox 23 or 24 episodes that make up a season of how every many months the networks insist on. This wouldn't hurt the show makers any..in fact it would HELP them. The only ones would be screwed would be the current distributors of the shows..who are holding onto a nearly out of date model... bah keep ruining good film.
- Quactaur, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Damn, if only this kind of pressure worked with Fox and Firefly :(
- Freegoo, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Well they did release Serenity after Firefox was canceled. Give the Fox some credit.
- saigumi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Or rather, Fox and SciFi...
Lest we not forget Space: Above and Beyond and the other series that were killed due to Sunday Night Football running long.
- amg503, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21Closure? I know what would be perfect... Bring the show back! Then, over the course of several seasons, we can have closure.
And here's another idea for the exec's: don't divide one season into two. We fans don't like it. - vredungmand, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I saw someone recommend this 25 year old BBC film in a discussion of Jericho:
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-2023790698427111488&hl=en-GB
(http://imdb.com/title/tt0090163/)
It is called "Threads" and was made on the height of the cold war.
It is the most believable and scariest nuclear holocaust vision I have ever seen.
Comparing this to the romantic soap opera Jericho is just goes to show how secure and safe our world is now compared to how it was 25 years ago.- darkstar949, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Jericho really isn't about a nuclear holocaust though - only a limited number of bombs were detonated and those that were responsible were primarily terrorists. As such only major US cities were targeted and the rest of the world was more or less unaffected.
- wageslaven, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3seeing threads (a drama) is apparently what finally explained to Reagan that "winning" a nuclear war was impossible. sad, that halfwit needed a television drama to break through his illusion. if this is true, it is a sad testament to the capability of American leadership.
- roystgnr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2darkstar949: I dug you up because you're absolutely right that there's a huge difference between a couple dozen warheads and an all-out nuclear war, but even a couple dozen warheads detonated in major cities would instantly kill millions of people, a number which falls squarely into the definition of "holocaust" by my standards.
- cyberghost232, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Last count was 59,000+ signatures on the CBS petition. I just wish that petition would make a diff.
- brownzilla, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6I'm not gonna try to defend CBS but idiot tv watchers are to blame too. American Idol...really!?!?!?! MTV doesn't have enough no talent ass clowns singing so we needed a prime time major network show of no talent ass clowns singing. This is why the RIAA is losing money, ***** music.
But I digress, the premiss for this show has great potential, they just scheduled it at the worst possible time. I swear people in this country are getting dumber at exponential rates.- Spuy767, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1Dugg down for shameless use of out of context Office Space reference.
- Alpione, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3"the premiss (sic) for this show has great potential"
I definitely agree with that. The premise was excellent, but they had a rough time pulling it off. The biggest problem was the acting; some of it really was soap-opera level. Skeet is decent but isn't good enough to carry a show. My wife and I couldn't decide if it was trying to be a primetime soap or a serious show. Some of the endings, where they'd cue the happy music and show everyone in the town patting each other on the back, got really nauseating. It ended up being something of both. It improved lately, but I'm not surprised it's going. At this point it's our filler on the DVR after everything else new has been watched.
But I definitely wouldn't mind it going on for another season or two, or at least just to a conclusion. - brownzilla, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2office space reference???
@alpione
I agree there were alot of the sappy soap opera crap, a part of me is hoping that it just turns into 24 with Hawkins. I could deal with the plot reuse and the madness, but everyone screwin each other at CTU, couldn't handle it.
- BreadLine, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I'm sending some metal nuts out tomorrow...to go with how they screwed their loyal fans. Not wasting any money sending the exec's real edible nuts.
- nonymous666, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5I'd rather they found closure for the huge way the left the canceled "Invasion" hanging *last* season. In fact, I'd be rather upset if they they went back and filmed some sort of 'finale' for Jericho when far superior shows that have been canceled have been left high and dry. The only closure Jericho needs is a couple paragraphs on the website that explains the bombs. Anything they film will just be just be some a treachly TV movie with the characters holding hands saying "I think we'll be OK".
- staed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Invasion? What about Threshold. It was canceled mid-season. Nuts!
- floorman56, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3The only closure Jericho needs is a couple paragraphs on the website that explains the bombs. Anything they film will just be just be some a treachly TV movie with the characters holding hands saying "I think we'll be OK".
Or "On the Beach" - wageslaven, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9@floorman56
Kinda Spoiler Warning:
-or- they could do what _i_ hope happens. That the ravenwood or the Evil Conspiracy get ahold of the last device and let it off inside Jericho. A bleak, stark and sad ending - that is what american television needs far far more of.
- toughice, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14By canceling a show without providing a conclusion - all it does is make people question if they would be willing to invest another 22 hours in a new show that could end up with the same fate.
Apparently the new model for shows is: 1. ignore it for the first season 2. wait for 2nd season renewal 3. rent / buy / download the episodes from season 1 and start from there.- d3bruts1d, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6It's funny... that's what my wife and I did with LOST. Figured it was just a hype show during season 1... after season 2 ended, we got the DVD sets and were hooked. Now we're regulars. May end up doing the same thing with Prison Break or 24.
- kernelhappy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Reading your post woke the cynic in me. Maybe this is just a ploy by CBS to get people excited about the show again. Like I said above, I'm firmly convinced that mid season lull in the story line really hurt viewership. Setting a little fire under people that tuned in after the hiatus to talk about the show more would probably help get some of the people that wandered away at the break. It just seems like they did too good a job of fixing the mid season problems for them to abandon it now. If this is a calculated ploy, I hope it works.
The Jericho story line towards the end did a great job setting up for next season. Personally I'm more concerned about Heroes coming back as strong as it was this season. - cjschmidt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2That's what I did for 24 and Lost. What I'm doing for Heroes as well. Between shuffling time slots and the ever-so-wonderful "hiatus", I just can't put up with the network BS anymore - no matter how much I want to watch their show. If knew when a show was going to be on, that it wasn't going to be a repeat and knew that it was worth investing time in (not going to get cancel for a year or two), then MAYBE I'd start watching TV regularly again. At least I know my video games and books are and that they all have endings.
- vdog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'd rather see it go out with a bang than a whimper. Better a big finale than a second season that their heart isn't in.
- pmichaelson, on 10/11/2007, -4/+19The end of Jericho:
Gerald McRaney suddenly sits up in bed. "Whoa, I just had the craziest dream! I was the mayor of a small Kansas town, and the U.S. fell under some kind of nuclear attack! The town was deluged with all sorts of problems, and yet my days were filled more with the interpersonal problems of my wife and kids than the struggle to survive a nuclear holocaust! And we all had horrible dialogue!"
Shanna Reed: "It was just a bad dream dear. Go back to bed."
Que Major Dad theme.- republicker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2sad but true.........
- oriondarkwood, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Yea I didn't know if I should laugh or cry over thier cop-out saying they couldn't complete against American Idiot err America Idol.. I like to know what is the thrill of it.. go to you local Karokee bar and you probably get just as much if not more entertianment out of that (not to mention be supporting your local business)..
But yea closure my arse, CBS probably hype a closure DVD and insert 2 plus hours of soap operish dialog and flashbacks before having Hawkins knowing the main bad guy (sorry forgot his name at the moment the former DHS head) ordered the army in the guise of a resuce to get him since he is the last "terrorist" and of course he has one of the bombs.. Hawkins blows up Jerchio and the main bad guy.. case closed - LostOnion, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2The thing of it is that anything else CBS puts on in the same time slot wont get any better ratings that Jericho did up against American Idol. Unfortunately nothing is going to stop the Idol ratings juggernaut. CBS should exercise some common sense and accept the fact that they'll be in second or third place in that time slot and market to the non-Idol watchers with something that is the antithesis of it. Instead of cranking out one loser show after another, just stick with something that is reasonably good as Jericho was and accept something with less than stellar ratings. Find advertisers that fit that niche and maintain it.
- weddle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I Tivo everything. How does that count in the ratings?
Jericho was a good show, I wish that CBS would have put a little more money behind the production though. We will miss it if it does not come back. - shiftless, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3You guys are still watching this garbage? Man, I stopped after the network stopped writing for the show which was about 5 episodes in.
- airship, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3TV movie. There, I figured it out for you, CBS. 90 minutes with commercials ought to give you plenty of time to wrap up all the subplots, and all of the devoted Jericho-heads will tune in, so you're guaranteed more ad revenue than you could ever charge for an episode of the series itself. So go do it.
- KenMixtape, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2This show lost me in the first episode when they used Coldplay in a "dramatic" scene. Horrible rubbish, good riddance.
- snapaw, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1We want SEASON 2 as WAS PROMISED TO US!
- mscappa18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I don't want closure, I want a new season!
- JohnUtech, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I agree!
- Jeryk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Closure in the form of a second season is what we want! The writers have come up with a complex, mature storyline and we want time to have it played out without having to force it.
- mhochman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Send CBS your nuts, a nut company (www.nutsonline.com) even has info about the campaign to save Jericho in their blog.
Call, Fax, Write, Don't let CBS do this! - RanZom, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1NUTS TO CBS!!!
SAVE JERICHO! - snakeanton, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Nuts To Cbs..
Save Jericho Is Our Goal and WE GONNA MAKE IT! - kat1015, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Keep fighting the fight guys!!! You're all doing a great job!! Together we can win!!
- AndiN, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I didn't expect to like Jericho, since I hate post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction. My husband wanted to watch it, though, so we tuned in. I was hooked from the first episode. It wasn't your typical "after the bombs dropped" fare -- it focused on something new, what people in areas outside the blast- and fallout-range would have to do to survive and rebuild society after something like that. That's what made it interesting.
There are too many plots (four major ones) and subplots for the show to be effectively wrapped up in a two-hour movie. Trying to would just seemed forced and contrived. It needs a second season, at least, and it has shown through the Save Jericho campaign that it has the audience to warrant one, whether on CBS or another channel. - sherylb33, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1CBS asked us to watch this story they wanted to tell......they gave us an interesting and entertaining program so we did. We faithfully invested 22 hours of our lives into watching this story unfold. Getting to know the characters that were so well portrayed and the ins and outs of the story lines. We became loyal viewers of CBS and we waited, not so patiently, for the story to continue. We excitedly contemplated what the future would bring for the characters that we have grown to care so much about. What would occur after that first gunshot, what experiences would these characters face and who would survive. Then CBS announces......'uh we are not going to finish the story....it's done...over...finished. There will be no conclusion to the story we asked you to watch. Talk about a kick in the teeth. Suddenly, my family's time has become to valuable to watch anything on CBS. If nothing else this experience gives me a chance to teach my 5 children about standing up for character and loyalty. If they didn't know what boycott meant last week they all know what boycott means now.
- OwdenBowden, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3How about if they do not bring it back (and I am not talking the special closure episode / 2 hour movie) then you boycott CBS and all of the advertisers that advertised on Jericho. Now that would send a message.
CBS = Cancels Best Shows - gatebumper, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Keep up the good fight everyone! Jerichoholics will prevail!
- republicker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1That was the best show on tv......*****....i hate tv more than ever now...... I knew Jerocho was way too full of truth and brought too many no-no issues about our government to the surface. Cant go five ***** minutes w/out being bombarded w/ american idol, crappy rap or punk wannabe music, *****, or war lies. At least I have Family Guy and House left to watch...probly not for long though.
- pmichaelson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@republicker
What!? What governmental issues did Jericho illuminate for you? Maybe I wasn't watching close enough, but all I got from it was that even after a nuclear holocaust, Kansas would STILL be boring.

- JohnUtech, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I started a topic in the Sci Fi channel forums to try and show there was enough support to interest Sci Fi in picking it up.

NUTS to CBS!- SeaICIubber, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Well I've requested Giant Ants!
- gwen03, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2We need to really step up our campaign. Neilson families please don't watch CBS and as for me I have deleted the station from my television. The list of companies that have advertised on CBS need to be contacted and alerted to the fact that CBS is losing a mass amount of viewers. We want Jericho back.
Here is a list of some of the advertisers..let them know there money will be spent better at other networks.
