Discuss and Post anything about the Jericho the TV Series whether news; gossip;characters; storylines ..
Here's some basic information about Jericho
| Quote: | Jericho is a serial drama produced by CBS Amercia.
The storyline revolves about the residents of Jericho, a small, rural Kansas town, in the aftermath of a series of nuclear attacks on most major cities in the contiguous United States.
The series begins with a visible nuclear detonation of unknown origin over nearby Denver, Colorado, and a loss of power and modern communications, effectively isolating Jericho. Later, power is restored to Jericho by what is alluded to as the efforts of the U.S. government, but soon after, an Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) disables all electronics. Several themes addressed in the show regularly are the gathering of information, community identity, public order, limited resources, the value of family, and external and internal threats. The show features several mysteries involving the backgrounds of major characters, the perpetrators of the attack, and the extent of damage to the United States and its government.

ts sad to report that Jericho will come to an end next week as CBS will not make a third series due to low ratings which is a damn shame. I really think it has not been given a decent run of Amercian Television which seems to cutting and churning out cheap reality television. Not Happy Enterprise!
| Quote: | CBS has nuked "Jericho."
Producers were told Tuesday 25th 2008 the show is ending its run on the broadcast network, sources said.
CBS will air the season finale next week with a resolution that helps give closure to fans.
After the first season concluded with an abrupt cut to black, fans famously inundated CBS with tens of thousands of pounds of peanuts to urge the network to continue the show.
For the seven-episode second season, producers shot two endings -- one that leaves viewers in suspense for a third round, another that is more conclusive.
The ending chosen by CBS will wrap up the final season's storyline, where the nuclear war survivors of a Kansas town struggled under a violent occupation by a government contractor.
"The March 25th episode of Jericho will be the series finale," CBS said in a statement. "Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more. We thank an engaged and spirited fan base for keeping the show alive this long, and an outstanding team of producers, cast and crew that went through creative hoops to deliver a compelling, high quality second season. We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try. We listened to our viewers, gave the series an opportunity to grow, and the producers put a great story on the screen. We're proud of everyone's efforts."
Tuesday's finale doesn't entirely slam the door on the series, but is notably different from the cliffhanger version, sources said. The ending also doesn't entirely preclude the possibility of "Jericho" finding a second life on cable. The high cost of the production, however, will likely prevent a continuation of the show.
Despite the erosion of broadcast ratings in recent years, the massive protest that saved "Jericho" last year has been called the largest fan effort ever to try and halt a network cancellation of a series.
The outcry put CBS in a tough position, whether to renew a show that has below-the-line ratings, yet unprecedented fan support. "Jericho" also performed well online on CBS.com and in iTunes downloads.
Unfortunately for the network and fans, the second season's Nielsen ratings were even lower than the first. The most recent episodes have averaged about a 1.9 rating among adults 18 to 49 in the show's Tuesdays at 10 p.m. time period. The network's decision to cancel the show still might not have been easy, but it was easier to see coming.
"'Jericho' is unique because the fans saved it -- watching it on the Internet and streaming and iTunes downloads, all those things that are not being counted," said executive producer Carol Barbee in a recent interview. "That's what 'Jericho' will be known for." |

After a year of begging for more Jericho, fans are going to get their wish - sort of. The cancelled CBS show is returning as a comic book.
Devil's Due Publishing has made a deal with CBS Consumer Products to publish a Jericho comic that picks up where the cult series left off.
The project pledges to answer many of the story's lingering questions and aims to appeal to the show's famously devoted fans.
Jericho, the story of a Kansas town in the aftermath of a nuclear war, premiered in 2006.
After the first season ended in a dramatic cliffhanger, the network cancelled the show.
CBS then made the unusual decision to reverse its decision - partly based on an unprecedented amount of fan protest. The network brought back the show for seven episodes that helped tie up some, but not all, of the loose ends.
The network then cancelled the show permanently, yet fans didn't give up. They have continued sending peanuts - a reference to the first season's final episode - to media organisations and buying billboards and on-air ads trying to convince somebody to pick up the show.
"Jericho is alive and well thanks to the amazing fans who've driven us to find new and fresh ways to tell the Jericho story," said Dan Shotz, co-executive producer of the show.
"Josh Blaylock and the DDP team are great partners and have shown a true love for our show. We are so thrilled about this comic book series and the endless possibilities for the future of Jericho."
The series' original team of producers will be involved in the comic.
Shotz is developing the project along with Jon Turteltaub, Carol Barbee, Karim Zreik and Jon Steinberg.
