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.)
The CW is a joint venture between CBS and Warner Brothers.
I thought that "closure" meant a tv movie or mini-series.
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...
Do you mean nuts-nuts or some of the nuttier fans?
Which studio makes Jericho? Is it Warner Bros?

I was guessing they had something cheaper in mind (like a web comic) but I'm often cynical.

That's hilarious in so many ways. They're also doing postcards with demographic info so it's not all crazy.
I thought the "nuts" bit on the show was just a dumb. They couldn't have pulled something useful out of grandpa's military history?

I think it's a CBS Paramount production.

I think they used it because it's an actual story from WWII:
1944, December 29. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe recounting the German demand to surrender Bastogne, Belgium, which was held by the 101st Airborne Division against overwhelming odds, and his reply. "Nuts!"

Yeah, I saw what they were trying to do, but since they had to give us that history lesson they telegraphed the ending. And I just don't think Skeet saying "Nuts!" had quite the dramatic impact they were looking for. I would've liked to have seen something strategically useful to their situation.
