everyone...one of my favourite shows, JERICHO has been cancelled....if you've not yet seen it, try and download a few episodes...it's well worth it...Fans of the show, you already know this.
Anyhow, I don't know if these things ever go anywhere, but I assume the more numbers, the higher the likelihood...head on over and show some support - http://www.petitiononline.com/09272006/petition.html
...and hope for good things.
Spread the message on any boards you post at, if you've the time.
Thanks.
- B.

Should be lots of copies of the first couple of episodes around various torrent sites and p2p applications. Worth a D/L to check it out, you might like it.

Petitions do nothing Phalanx. Shows get cancelled, it is the nature of the beast. Very rarely do they bring shows back on air after cancelling, most notably Family Guy, but that was only due to insane DVD purchases and success on cartoon network in reruns.

Phalanx, you know I'm right there with ya on the Jericho train! I've already signed that petition using every single email address I have (There are lots.)

I'm absolutely furious about this! I wonder how the hell can they cancel the most creatively grim, well written, well acted, and flat out BEST drama on network television after only 1 season! (Actually, I don't wonder, I already know. Here's how... Jericho started off last September pulling in 11 million viewers per week which was respectable. Then the execs put the show on a 10 week hiatus over the holiday season. When it returned to the air it's time slot was head to head with American Idol which was already in full swing and it's viewers dropped to 8 million a week. CBS sited the drop in ratings, failing to realize they were 100% responsible for the drop, as the reason for canceling the show.)

Anyways, I'm pissed too. Have been for a few days now. And to think the first season just ended with one of the best cliff hangers ever. This has been my myspace profile picture since I heard the news....

That petition isn't the only thing happening though. There is a HUGE public outcry about this. In addition to the petition, there's thousands of phone calls, emails and faxes that CBS is getting bombarded with, the CBS message boards about the show are several hundred pages deep with complaints, and there is an online campaign pooling money to send the suits at CBS thousands and thousands of pounds of peanuts or 'NUTS' for short. If you watch the show, you realize the significance of saying 'Nuts' to CBS. The Nuts campaign will likely begin getting some coverage on national media news channels today or tomorrow due to a seperate capaign to make channels like CNN & FoxNews aware of it.

And if you don't think there's a chance that CBS will budge, consider this... Since they canceled the show and have been bombarded with the public's discontent in just about every form imaginable, they first said they will make an effort to "let the fans know how it would have ended", but that wasn't acceptable and the complaints continued to mount. As recently as last night, I read that CBS is now considering a 2 hour long series finale to give the show some closure. While that'd be better than nothing, the unhappy fans aren't going to accept anything less than a 2nd season before the complaints cease.

I never saw the show but, hell....i'll sign it. The unfortunate thing is todays public want to watch these foolish "reality" shows instead of a well acted , thoughtful drama.
