This was the one season I started to get caught up in new shows and half of them get canceled. I think that hiatus and the drop off in action before it is what did this show in. A lot people gave up on it before it got really good in the second half.

5/15/2007 9:55:37 PM

so would it be too much to ask the produces to say where they were going with the show and how they envisioned it to end?

5/15/2007 10:26:36 PM

Go for it.

Pretty lame. Season 2 was going to be awesome. How can you end a season with Black Bauer, sitting in a tank, ready to wreck shit.

5/16/2007 11:16:28 AM

Yep totally want to tell CBS to go fuck themselves. Rope me into a killer show with an ubercliffhanger of a season finale and then pull the plug on the whole damned show.

5/16/2007 11:20:28 AM

Everyone go to www.cbs.com ...At the bottom there is a feedback link. You can select the category to be related to Jericho. Everyone needs to give CBS some feedback on this. CBS has a whole new (and boring looking) fall lineup...but I sure as hell am not gonna watch any of it when they're just gonna cancel it at the end of the season anyway.

It's on yahoo now too:

wow, just wow. vampires, musicals, and cubans.

5/16/2007 11:43:13 AM

Hey, I'm Cuban, don't hate on Cubans.


Fuck that, I would rather watch Jericho.

5/16/2007 11:44:08 AM

First, FOX cancels Drive and now this..

Fuck FOX and CBS

5/16/2007 11:54:04 AM

What's funny is networks are less and less willing to give shows time to develop before they're cancelled, which means viewers are less willing to start watching a new show, which means new shows get lower ratings, which means the networks give them less of a chance...

and so on.

Before too long we'll be British style and have shows that are 2 6-ep seasons long...

Jesus fucking christ. You cancel Jericho and lave this garbage on. I mean really, a fucking Pussy Cats reality show?!?


You would think another network would pick up Jericho. It wasnt doing THAT bad in the ratings was it?

Atleast they let it last a season, unlike Smith which they canceled after 3 episodes. How you cancel something after 3 episodes is beyond me.

Sounds like everyone needed to give CBS some feedback on this months ago. Good luck getting the show uncanceled. It's only happened once, and only because of awesome DVD sales.

5/16/2007 5:47:42 PM

^ It happened with the Mole season 2. I think it was on ABC. They canned it after 2 or 3 episodes, and people were PISSED. They did the whole online petition thing and rabid feedback, etc., and ABC brought it back to finish out the season during the summer. The ratings for that were decent enough to have 1 or 2 more seasons (albeit it was celebrity mole, but still).

So it IS possible. (Though probably unlikely)

^^^ those are CW shows.. not CBS shows.. CBS owns half of the CW so thats why they're in the same article.

5/16/2007 6:19:48 PM

Lots of shows have been cancelled under five episodes. Clerks was cancelled after two.

Comment on the CBS website... here is mine.

Quote :

"You have got to be kidding me. This is easily the best show you guys have for a very important demographic. People between 16-29 love this show and are a major consumer for many advertisers. Good luck with what sounds like a lame line up for next year. I don't think any of those shows will get you the viewers Jericho did. Especially if people feel like you might just cancel it on them after they get hooked on it. One more thing to consider... If you bring Jericho back, than all the articles that will be written will sound a lot like "CBS caters to their fans and after millions of complaints/feedback bring back the show" it's going to make CBS look good, and on top of that get more people to watch Jericho after seeing how so many people reacted. Just one man's opinion. "

this show would not have been canned if they had added three letters to the shows title.


CSI: Jericho.

5/16/2007 7:15:09 PM

This is worse than the time CBS cancelled Nash Bridges in the middle of a two part season finale.

5/16/2007 7:45:00 PM

Ugh. So I just emailed Kelly Kahl (person responsible for this) and sent the feedback. I'm debating taking part in the NUTS campaign (where you sent a bag of nuts to CBS in protest), but I dunno. We'll see what happens.

5/16/2007 8:46:26 PM

no no no...are you ^^ serious?!


because that is...nuts.


i would have watched this show, but i passed. however it did look awesome for the few episodes i watched. so i would agree that CBS is fucking retarded in cancelling it. esp. for Geeks and Dolls 2??

5/16/2007 9:31:58 PM

^^Yes

5/16/2007 11:22:12 PM

^no one will hire me and i'm not selling insurance.

5/17/2007 2:16:16 AM

^^I find it hard to believe a network would cancel a series finale half way between the 1st and 2nd part. Unless you show proof I am calling bullshit.

5/17/2007 2:35:55 AM

The Nuts campaign reminds me of farscape (crackers don't matter)

5/17/2007 4:13:56 AM

FUCK. I didn't check this thread for a while b/c I was behind on my episodes. But I caught up last night...only to see that they canceled the show, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE?!?!

FUCK

5/17/2007 1:54:32 PM

it joins a long list of great cancelled shows that left us on cliffhangers

5/17/2007 3:20:57 PM

out of everything at the end, the new flag is what really got my attention. i wanted to know more about what was really happening, not just what the military guy told heather.

5/18/2007 9:17:14 PM

I really wish this would get picked up by another station.

5/18/2007 9:47:46 PM

From the CBS exec:

Quote :

" To the fans of Jericho: We have read your emails over the past few days and have been touched by the depth and passion with which you have expressed your disappointment. Please know that canceling a television series is a very difficult decision. Hundreds of people at the Network, the production company and the incredibly-talented creative team worked very hard to build and serve the community for this show -- both on-air and online. It is a show we loved too. Thank you for supporting Jericho with such passion. We truly appreciate the commitment you made to the series and we are humbled by your disappointment. In the coming weeks, we hope to develop a way to provide closure to the compelling drama that was the Jericho story. Sincerely, Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment "

This is better, but not enough. I want at least a whole other season!

no more bob barker, now jericho is out

they just ost my viewership, as soon as Bob is out.

5/19/2007 1:19:09 AM

I dunno, that E-Mail sounds very re-assuring. They might do a second season with just a few episodes, like a end-of-show mini-series. Maybe an end-of-show TV movie. Most story lines could be cleared up in a creative way with just a few intense hours of TV.

I look forward to seeing what they come up with. That is, unless they come up with nothing; in which case I am disappointed.

5/19/2007 1:45:20 AM

the email is to shut up the fans in hopes they won't "boycott" the network, while the network just waits for the fans to forget.

I think we have a chance.

2. Won't suck all the interesting parts out of a fucking nuclear holocaust story

5/24/2007 9:41:55 AM

^^ How much of the show did you actually watch??

Yeah, that's what I thought.

The first half wasn't that great, but when it came back in February it absolutely rocked.

5/24/2007 8:08:45 PM

the story had potential, the poor acting and low budget production made it suck though
