The episode of Jericho they showed was surprisingly good in comparison to the crap I quit after.
But Skeet was really shady with his damn hat covering half his face. Who knew what sort of eyes he was making at everyone?
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

That's what I heard! Heh.
But it looks like it came back right instead of wrong.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
All my suspension of disbelief was spent on the nuclear fallout thing without hairloss.
I SAW THE DAY AFTER AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE BALD AND TOOTHLESS.
I can't gives em no more disbelief suspension.

Well, Gerald McRaney seems in on the joke, which helps. And I obviously support Dale and Skylar taking over the town. But it still seems to be a story about how some people are just too dumb to die.
Maybe that's why it's set in Kansas. It's a final repudiation of Darwinism.

Oh, but there was no fallout in Jericho (the town, I mean). Except for sometimes when they acted like there was, even though they'd stressed that there wasn't.

They hid in a cave or something, and they were safe. The end!

The Day After was frequently very wrong too. Television producers have some deep aversion to actually reading about nuclear stuff and prefer to base their stories on vague memories of '50s SF movies with giant bugs. Most fallout will decay within about a week. Not within the arbitrary three days on Jericho, though. What difference would it have made to the plot to wait a week before coming out of the salt mines? None. After that, there are some elements that will be around roughly forever, but the problem for most people is going to increased risk of cancer, not the immediate Britney Spears look.
I'll shut up now.
