Wow, you nailed it. Wanna hear about what's replaced Jericho in the CBS timeslot?

Kid Nation. It's a reality show where 40 kids attempt to form a society.


:mad:

Public outcry does nothing. It is all about the money. Jericho did not have great ratings from what I remember. Bad ratings equal lower prices for advertising. You want to save Jericho, instead of making pointless petitions and spamming message boards, tell people to watch the show and push up the ratings. That is all they will listen to.

omg that kid thing sounds like tripe........people will watch whatever they show.........

but they would prefer to show low cost shows........Jericho's last episode left open so many avenues and unanswered questions........


best drama in years

That's very true. If people aren't watching, there's no chance for a show.

I have never seen this show, only heard of it very recently. I think another problem is networks are far too quick to axe a show before it has any time to prove itself. Network don't give people a chance to discover a show they might enjoy, as I mentioned in another thread, FOX is very bad about this. They have switched schedules around where you can't find shows, shown episodes out of order in some cases, and often cancel shows without even airing 10 episodes, much less a full season.....

CBS was responsible for cancelling Now and Again, the bastards.....:mad: So I will sign it and try to catch some of the show, since it seems to be well thought of. But I doubt it will do any good, if not enough people were watching, it won't be saved. It seems the more intelligent a show is, the less chance it has f surviving....wonder why that is....:rolleyes:

Yup...Just like Invader Zim :p


Seriously...I don't watch television anymore...I haven't for years (except for a few Adult Swim shows)...But, I feel for your plight...The shows I liked, ALWAYS got cancelled...I think Tru Calling was the last one I was starting to get into, when they axed it...It's been that long since I watched network television

Dead like me, Alien Nation, Firefly...
There's probably plenty more.
Yeah the whole petition thing, I haven't a great deal of faith for it's effectiveness...but hey, I guess I'm holding out with some kinda hope there.
One of their writers said that they'll try to do "something" to put some kind've closure to the jericho story, that there could be as good as it gets, if THAT happens...maybe a "movie" or a few more episodes taped on the ass-end of the dvd boxset...because seriously, if we've senn all we're going to, it's a dvd I won't be buying otherwise.
