So who all here stuck with the show Jericho?

(1/7) > >>

I watched the finale last night, and feel very fortunate that I decided on a wild hair to watch this show from the start. Sure, it had some rough patches along the way as they figured out what worked and what didn't, but the end product, especially the last two episodes was excellent!

In the past, I grew to love the characters on Buffy and Angel (Too bad Whedon ruined Buffy in season 7 because by the end I didn't care any more). There have been other shows that over the span of seasons I have grown to care about the characters. Having said that, Jericho is the only show I have ever seen that has led to me deeply caring for the characters in the first season (Firefly came close, but they were only just starting to hit their stride when the plug was pulled). The finale was heart wrenching, and the character stories were so incredibly good that the way the episode ended was not even slightly disappointing. Having said that, I will personally burn down the CBS main office if they don't renew Jericho. ;D

I would like to see if anyone else on here has an opinion (without spoilers if possible  ;))

AtomSmasher:
The season started out pretty slow, but I agree that the last half of the season was really good.

CCM:
Jericho is one of my favorite shows!  I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the will definitely be back for a second season.

Don't bet on it.  Here is what the TV and radio columnist of my "local" paper said about Jericho:

CBS' "Jericho" ended its first (and possibly only) season Wednesday with the death of Gerald McRaney's character, the town patriarch. The fact that first-tier characters survived week after week was a serious flaw in what could have been an edgy, paranoid thriller about life in a small town after mysterious nuclear blasts. It felt more like a '70s drama than something from the '00s.

More damaging to the residents of fictional Jericho, Kan., was what everybody in the TV biz now agrees was the disastrous concept of the winter hiatus.

Hot shows like NBC's "Heroes" and ABC's "Lost" took major ratings hits after their lengthy disappearances. And when CBS unveils its fall schedule next week, don't bet on "Jericho" being there.

Oh and for the record, I watched the first two episodes before giving up.

I probably saw the first 4 or 5 episodes I liked the first couple couple of episodes not that they were that great just that I saw potential in the the story but was dissapointed that it went nowhere. I think it could have been a great show but did not quite made it.

Saw the final episode and much to my surprise I did not feel I had missed anything.
