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.)

What is even happening?

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.

They're sending nuts.

I'm not kidding.

Yeah. Lots and lots of nuts. (Which CBS is distributing to charity and the military.)

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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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...

Do you mean nuts-nuts or some of the nuttier fans?
