Anyone else watching?  We've watched the first two episodes, and so far it's pretty good... just hope it doesn't go the way of Invasion... which I liked for the first few episodes, then it just got a little too "Twin Peakish" for me...

I'm w/ you!  I totally love this show so far.  I watch it and then switch over to Lost for the next hour.  It's gives me that ol' "God Is Coming" vibe.
 
It's a great night to open a bottle a wine and just sit back. :beatnik:

I'm thinking terrorists at this point.  Don't think alien's would drop a nuke, although that would be a smart way to invade from an alien standpoint.  When ppl see the mushroom cloud, the last thing they'd be thinking of is an alien invasion.  Hmmmm......

I've also wondered if it's something more sinister... made to "LOOK" like a terrorist, but maybe "government gone wrong" or something.  The cop from Chicago seems to be a little "overprepared," I mean, who has a haz-mat suit in their home?? And what's in that barrel??

Looks like it's confirmed that Robert is a guvment man.  I knew it was just a matter of time before his daughter found him out.
 
Amazing that everyone seemed to know what an EMP was.  They must've been watching Lost two weeks ago.  lol
 
Got a bit corny when all the townfolk came out to help Stan & Bonnie save their crops.  (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun.)
 
This eppy we were introduced to Mitchell, a local bad guy and old "friend" of Jakes.  Apparently Mitch and gang have a compound (think militia survivalist types) outside of town.  The main inconsistency in tonight's episode centered around this fact.  When the wharehoused food (from the train) came up missing, Jake & friends knew Mitch took it.  They kept grilling Mitch and boys as to where the food went.  
 
Well...d'uh...maybe at the bad guys compound...ya think?  And they hadn't figured it out by end of episode.  Maybe the electromagnetic pulse fried all their brains along w/ all the circuitry.
 
Although, we did get answers to some nagging questions, especially regarding Robert, this was a pretty slow episode and not up to snuff w/ what we've been used to.

Yea, a member on another site told us about this. I know how it feels to have your favorite show cancelled!
 
The member of another site posted this petition link, but I saw it in that jericholives.com site as well.

CBS Reverses Decision to Ax `Jericho'
Email this Story
 
Jun 6, 5:28 PM (ET)
 
By LYNN ELBER
 
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Jericho" fans who slammed CBS with protests over the drama's cancellation have won the battle: It will return next season, the network said Wednesday.
 
It was an unusual display of viewer might since networks usually put ratings ahead of even the most passionate, well-organized fan base. But CBS said the show deserved another chance, while cautioning that it must prove it has wider appeal.
 
"Wow! Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series," CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said in a letter to "Jericho" boosters.
 
The letter was released to The Associated Press.
 
"You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard," Tassler wrote, and seven episodes have been ordered for midseason 2007-08. "In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more 'Jericho,' we will need more viewers."
 
Fans must do their part to rally interest while the network does its job, she said.
 
CBS is planning a campaign to reintroduce "Jericho," including rerunning the show on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips online and releasing the first season on DVD on Sept. 25. The show's return date and scheduling has yet to be determined.
 
CBS had to complete deals with cast members, including star Skeet Ulrich, before announcing its decision.
 
Networks rarely reverse a show's axing but CBS has proven its flexibility at least once before. In 1983, after "Cagney & Lacey" was canceled and the network was bombarded with protests, the police drama was brought back in 1984 - and ran successfully to 1988.
 
Since "Jericho" was canceled last month the network has been deluged with calls, messages and shipments of nuts signifying viewer displeasure.
 
"We are tired of the networks (not just CBS) tossing aside quality programming," was the message carried by jericholives.com, one of several web sites protesting the cancellation. "Enough! We're going to fight for this one."
 
Clarke Ingram, a "Jericho" fan from Pittsburgh, Pa., and a spokesman for jericholives, said Tuesday that the drama about a Kansas town isolated by a nuclear terrorist attack deserved renewal for its daring premise, writing and acting.
 
"People would paint this as teenagers in tinfoil hats" rallying behind the show, said Ingram, 50, an operations manager for two radio stations. "That's not what this is. These are educated professionals."
 
Several factors worked in the show's favor: It appealed to the young adult viewers sought by advertisers and was one of CBS' most popular shows streamed online, indicating an audience beyond that measured by traditional ratings.
 
CBS also likely took into consideration the dent a long hiatus put in the show's viewership, the same scheduling misstep that hurt ABC's "Lost" and NBC's "Heroes."
 
Last fall, "Jericho" was averaging 10.5 million viewers; when it returned in the spring, it drew about 8.1 million, about a 23 percent decline from the first half of the season.
 
The display of fan enthusiasm included the delivery of 50,000 pounds of peanuts to its New York offices. In the season finale, a character replies "Nuts!" to a demand that the beleaguered town of Jericho surrender.
 
That's the same response that a U.S. general in World War II made to a German demand for surrender at the Battle of the Bulge.
 
Another positive outcome of the fan campaign: CBS is donating the protest peanuts to charities, including one that sends care packages to troops overseas

I went to the "contact us" thing on cbs website and wrote... I really like this show... there are lots of fans that watch on cbs site that I think don't get counted. My brother doesn't even own a TV (I know, he's crazy!) but he and all his friends are hooked on Jericho and watch it online every week.. networks need to start looking at where their viewers are, not just ratings on the night a show airs..

Hey this is good news.  Smiley Teach, do you have a link to the article? And can I repost that article to another site (the admin of said site might want to read this, though he might have known this already)
 
I'll try to promote the show by putting them on my blog or forum.  Grin

I am liking this more than before... and the killing off of main characters, to me, makes it more realistic than if all the "main guys" were safe.. ya know?
 
That said.. I'm gonna miss Bonnie.. Sad

The promos say there are only 3 final episodes left, so what's it matter?  They can afford to kill off the whole cast if they want to.

well, actually, we don't know yet if it's canceled or not... depends on the ratings it's getting at the moment... however, considering there's NOTHING else new on... it should be getting decent ratings!.. LOL

It would help if you all run over to the sci-fi forums and post on there to pick up Jericho.  The Rumors (From what I hear) Are pretty much set, that they are AT LEAST picking it up to show the reruns, which could in turn have them pick it up for new shows.
 
  Luckily this show isn't being canceled by a Fox network so it won't have the "No more shows can be made using this name blah blah  blah" (IE Firefly) ..
 
  So there is hope for those that like watching Jericho.    I can't believe more people didn't watch it.   Especially since I believe a lot of it was on during the writers strike.
