Jericho may get a 2nd season

[Serren]

Not sure if there are other Jericho fans here, but it looks like there is still hope for a 2nd season after all.

Never watched the show, but I've been following the campaign. I think it's awesome that the fans rallied together and made CBS reconsider. Good news for fans!

I found some podcaster guy who actually has interviews with the producers and actors of Jericho. Very cool. The cast and crew of this show all seem really cool and down to earth. They post on the CBS forums regularly and are keeping the fans current on the status of the show, as much as they know at least.

I know they are trying to save thier jobs, but they really do seem to care about the show, and the story. I find that awesome.

BREAKING!

June 6, 2007

To the Fans of Jericho:

Wow!

Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.

As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.

A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.



We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.

At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.

On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of “Jericho” in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.

Sincerely,

Nina Tassler

President, CBS Entertainment

P.S. Please stop sending us nuts

Sweet! I didn't know they were even thinking of canceling. I hate when they do that. I started to get into invasion last year and they took that of also.

[KEEZY]

Yes, Invasion!

That is very cool, and a prime example of how protesting (when done correctly) does make an impact.

I'm against protesting, but I don't know how to show it...

I protested your post by giving you an infraction. Protesting rules!

[Serren]

From what I understand, the peanuts referred to a plot point in the actual show (someone who watches this can verify whether I'm correct or not). But seriously, what the hell else do nerds have to do? We could have at least sent "shiny" things to Fox.

[Gordon]

Or... Fireflies. Maybe just flies. Ahh... flies come from crap. Fox normally keeps the crap and cancels the good shows. So... Send them boxes of crap and the flies will come with it.

If that's the case, couldn't have some "companions" been sent?!? That might have worked!!
