Jerich - warning spoilers

[Timber Wolf]

So this thread will discuss the TV show Jericho, and this is my disclaimer, that if you haven't yet watched the series (WHY HAVEN'T YOU?) or haven't stayed caught up on the recent episodes You Might Want To Not Read This Thread As It Will Contain Spoilers. With that said....

You've been warned.

So anybody else a fan? I actually don't watch TV, I did start watching the show on the internet.

Supposedly the show was cancelled after its 1st season, but apparantly the fans sent the producers, et. al., a ton of peanuts - in reference to the line from WW11 where (I think it was) the 101st Airborne were surrounded as the advance through France proceeded after D-Day.

The German commander sent a note to the American commander telling him "You are surrounded, your supplies are cut off. Surrender and save your men." The American's response was "Surrender, Nuts!" The American forces proceeded to dig in and wait it out until re-inforcements showed up.

The MC's GP makes ref to this story in the beginning of the last episode of season 1.

So, apparantly the nuts got us a reprieve - but only of 7 episodes. I just watched what was being promoed as being the series finale. Boy did they leave it open to a spin-off series - I'm thinking "Jericho: Civil War."

Anybody else have any thoughts on this?

I aint watched the last two or three shows yet. Plan on catching them on line. i love the show think they've moved a little too fast. should have taken longer to get where they are now.


I'll check in later.

Yeah, that's what I thought. From what I hear, though we were lucky to get the last 7 episodes, and that's prbly why they did move so fast. I ws hoping for a nice wrap up, the J&R guys would be exposed and the tide would turn against them and their cronies. Since it didn't I'm hoping for a spin-off series - or maybe a book series, and I know jsut the group of writers to do it. :-)

I loved this series. I also watched it largely online and ONDEMAND. But CBS pretty much stated that they needed people to watch the actual broadcast in order to get the ratings that they needed to continue with the show. This is really a shame because of the massive move to non-linear viewing. It seems like the online viewership was pretty large. I don't have anything to back that up, but there seemed to be much more online activity for Jericho than other tv dramas like Grey's Anatomy or the CSIs.

Regardless, I thought that it was the best show that I've seen that never took off. If they were not going to continue with it, then I'm at least glad that we got the show back to at least provide a bit of closure. I followed the NUTS campaign very closely after being outraged at it's season one cancellation after a serious cliffhanger to end that amazing first season.

A spin-off would be great, but may not make it back on to the major networks right away. I think that Sci-Fi Channel is carrying all of the original episodes, and if there is a spin-off then it will likely end up there...
