Hey guys and gals!
I know that we mostly talk arcade controls, consoles games etc, but I thought some of you might be interested in this.
I don't know about you, but I was really bummed out when I heard that they cancelled this show. I thought it was really great, and I watched every episode. It was probably my second favorite program after Lost.
Well a huge groundswell of fans are banding together to get some kind of resolution from CBS. Their goal is to get a second season, but I'd imagine that is shooting for the moon. I thought this was a good enough show to get involved by writing a few email and calling the CBS feedback line. You can read all about the "movement" to get Jericho back on the air here: www.jericholives.com.
They've done two really cool things. First, they're raised almost $23,000 to send nuts to CBS offices in New York. That's almost 17,000lbs of nuts! The nuts come from a speech one of the main characters gives at the end of the season finale (which may end up being the series finale) when they were about to face a tough battle with a neighboring town.
The other thing they've done is raise over $7,000 to take an ad out in Variety which I guess will run on Tuesday. You can see it here: http://www.bringjerichoback.com/
I just thought this was pretty interesting. Kind of reminded me of the way this community has come together on so many occasions. If you're a fan of the show, check out what you can do to maybe bring it back on the air.
Oh by the way... it is working CBS released a statement the other day that (after the fan reaction) they're meeting to discuss bringing closure to the show. It may mean a made for TV movie, or a half season, or any number of other options.
This isn't intended to be spam. I thought there might be some fans of the show here. If it should be moved or deleted I ask for your mercy!

Apparently this is having an effect. It has made the front page of CNN.com

Supposedly, CBS brass is reconsidering the cancellation and may bring it back for a midseason replacement. They are noticing that the show is popular to watch on cbs online. They are also considering that they might have screwed the show with the hiatus. Boy this is getting me excited now. I participated in the Save Angel campaign, which didn't do a damn thing. It would be awesome to see this result in the show coming back!
hypernova:
CBS reverses decision!
shardian:
YES!!!!
To all the crazy ass Jericho fans that were the driving force behind this: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
