I just got around to watching the second to the last episode of Jericho, and, damn, I'm sorry it didn't make it. After the break, it really racheted up the drama and the tension and the excessive use of ammunition. Plus, it had Skeet Ulrich with his determined face. (He doesn't have many expressions, but that's a good one.)
I know. We just started watching again, from the beginning so we could note the improvement. Dh is a little bitter about the cancellation (poor love -- he's also bitter about Drive and VM) so he watches sort of grudgingly.
I'm a little curious about this closure thing.
Me, too. I keep thinking they ought to move it to the CW. It's the same parent corporation, and even if Jericho only brought a fraction of its audience, it would probably be the closest thing to a hit (at least among scripted shows) the CW has had, yet.
no shit. God knows CW needs some help given the fall upfronts schedule.
I didn't know that the CW was owned by the same people who own CBS. Interesting. (That would explain the person who saw an ad for Supernatural during Jericho.)
I thought that "closure" meant a tv movie or mini-series.
Apparently, Jericho's "poor ratings" are still twice the amount that the CW has been getting. So - it could work. (Of course, the CW reaches fewer households than CBS does.)

The CW is a joint venture between CBS and Warner Brothers.

It does to the network. The fans want a whole season though, and are campaigning for CBS to sell the show to TNT or USA or whatever, if they won't change their minds and pick it up for another season. The CW makes way more sense to me than to TNT or USA.
If
Jericho
only brought half its average audience (9.5 mil) from the 2006-2007 season, it would still get bigger ratings than every CW show, save America's Top Model (5.4 mil). People might actually figure out the CW exists.
Here's hoping no one starts up a "save Jericho" campaign that involves sending weapons-grade plutonium/uranium to the network.
Yeah. Lots and lots of nuts. (Which CBS is distributing to charity and the military.)
They're sending nuts.
I'm not kidding.
When I get bored, I imagine how many different ways Allyson's brain would be going 'splodey if she were a part of their fandom.
so very, very true. *giggle*
when i heard they were sending nuts, it took me a few minutes to figure out why. i bet some of the execs who never watched the show wondered the same thing...
