'Jericho' fans gone nuts

Thank you for the great article. I think we can all agree that there is no chance that CBS will pick Jericho up again. Though there is still quite a bit of hope that another network will see what a valuable property Jericho is and will do it justice finally.

Thanks for a great article!

We are just fighting for quality television. Not what the networks want to cram down our throats. Contrary to what the networks want us to believe, there are some people in this country who don't want to watch another reality/game show or CSI wannabe. We like to watch tv that makes us think. Jericho does that and more. Could a Jericho-like situation actually happen? What would we do as a country, a community, or as an individual? The major networks need to realize that the mindless drivel they continuously put on may be profitable, but people will eventually get tired of it and move on to something else. Then where will they be?

Thank-you so much for the article on Jericho. Some may have tuned in for only awhile and saw despair. Many of us, however, saw courage to do the right thing, loyalty to one's family, community and country, and hope for a better tomorrow. It was the good in the Jericho characters and the intrigue of the story that drew us back week after week. And still desiring more! Thanks again for your mention!

Joanna, thanks so much for the great article. While it is true that CBS has no interest in picking Jericho up again CBS Paramount is actively shopping the show to other outlets and we are assured by folks like Carol Barbee and Jon Turteltaub that our efforts are being noticed and that there is hope for a Jericho return! In addition they have encouraged us to keep fighting and we will continue to do so until Jericho is back!

Thanks again.

Thanks for the article on Jericho and what the Jericho Rangers are doing for a new Jericho home for a Season Three. I don't think any of us are aiming for CBS (the Network) to change their minds, but the door of hope hasn't slammed shut with CBS Paramount to find a new home for the show...and home that has more respect for its viewers.

We aren't just a nutty mega-group of fans making noise, we are charitable also. Respectfully, what was overlooked is the DVD for the Troops campaign we had in getting sets and sets and sets of Jericho donated and soon to be shipped to the troops so valiantly working so far away from home. With Memorial Day just passing and Independence Day coming, it is important that we not only think of ourselves but what we can do for our men and women in the Military.

It takes a special show in this day and age, that not only is intelligently written and entertains but that is a show where the characters actually come to life and you care what happen to them in each twist of the storyline...and you care about the cast and crew. It's worth the investment of time & effort to rectify the blunder that CBS made over 2 seasons through programming and scheduling.

Thanks again for bringing Jericho to your readers minds through our efforts to for a Season Three!

Great article ! Thank you for your support ! Like Barney, mentioned in you article, I've never been involved in a campaign to save a TV show, in fact, before Jericho came along, it never even crossed my mind. Jericho grabbed our attention from the first night it aired, and we watched every episode. It's very rare these days to have a show with Jericho's quality, and we hope someone is smart enough to pick it up for a 3rd season.

Unfortunately people think this show would be bleak but it is about hope and survival with morality coming out on top. I didn't tune in initially because I thought this was a show about a nuclear bomb. It isn't. It is a show about the resilience of a small Kansas town. It is suspenseful. It is intelligent. It draws from early American history. It is the kind of show that you can watch with your family. It makes you think. It has so much heart. Jericho is good television and that is sorely lacking. Hopefully it will be picked up by a cable network. Negotiations are ongoing. Buy the DVDS and check out this show. You won't be sorry you did.

Thanks for the amazing article!
We won't stop fighting to bring JERICHO BACK !

CANADA LOVES JERICHO ~

Thank you for the article on Jericho and the continued campaign to find the show a worthy home. It is an incredible show that depicts common people working together to suurvive and overcome. If nothing else, it makes the viewer wonder how they would fare if the events of the show were to come to pass. I hope you'll be able to inform your viewers of a Third Season for Jericho very soon.

Thanks very much for the write up. The Jericho Fans are not only special because they fought and won a second season, and are fighting now for season three. They are also special because in this age of apathy towards fighting for a cause they are resurrecting the idea of fighting back, of standing up for what you believe in and sticking to it until it is fixed.
This behavior will grow soon, into areas outside television. Who knows where this will lead, but I am so proud of my Jericho Family. And I have to point out that our ratings for season two were not bleak, it just was not what the eye wished for!
CBS is losing something wonderful in these fans, hopefully another network will see the fans as an awesome group of viewers ready and willing to do what ever it takes and snap them and Jericho up!

Hey Joanna! Great article! I am proud to be known as a Jericho Ranger, and will continue to fight for quality TV....

Thank you for the article on Jericho. The Rangers are here to stay and we are working hard for season 3.

Thanks for the article. You're right. CBS is not going to renew Jericho. According to the producers there are ongoing talks to find a new home on a cable network or possibly a movie. Personally, I vote for Season 3! Like Barney, I've never gotten involved with anything like this before but there's just something about Jericho, which was anything but "bleak". Suspenseful, heart-warming and sometimes funny are adjectives that come to mind.

With so-called "reality television" taking over, it's very rare to find quality programming on network programming any more. With shows like Big Brother and Survivor, Jericho was CBS's chance to jump out of the phenom that is reality television, and produce a show with high quatlity acting, writing, and special-effects. Unfortunately, CBS dropped the ball. And I agree with the article that CBS will most likely not pick it up, at least not without the help of Comcast. But for all of us "nuts" out there, there is hope that another cable network, such as Sci-Fi will pick up the show and at least give it the ending it deserves. Good article, and it's nice to see when the media picks up on all that is happening.

Thank you for the article. I am proud to say that I am a Jericho Ranger and that I am fighting for good quality programming. I have found over the years while raising my kids that it is hard to find programs on television for them to watch that enabled them to use their minds and not just vegetate in front of the set. Jericho really makes you stop and think, wondering what is going to happen next. Now that is quality programming.

Thanks for the great take on this.
Still hoping for a third season!!
Best drama on TV in years.

Jericho provided hope amid all the bleakness. That's one of the reasons it's such a great show. It reminds you that, when the rest of the world falls away, the most important things remain and sustain us -- that's love, family, commitment, community, teamwork. Without all that good stuff, what is there to live for? Jericho brought that point home in the clearest of terms. Great show! I want it back.

Our family is one of those families that bought the many pounds of nuts, donated money for ads... It made our family stronger by watching a true non Crime drama or reality moment - we were watching and sharing view on a family drama. We will continue to fight for our family's need for good TV.

Hey thanks so much for a great article! There's so many of us that would love to see Jericho back on the air no matter what station it was on. We need quality television and reality shows just aren't cutting it anymore. Jericho is a show that will pull you in once you start watching it. The casting was fantastic and each brought something amazing to each episode. Definitely come help us out and see the series for yourself! There'll be no doubt in your mind as to why we all love it so much!

Frankly, as a Jericho fan, I'm glad it isn't going back to CBS, as they really don't care about quality TV. Jericho fans are not only fighting for it but also for quality TV period! We're making a difference in this regard and the possibility for Jericho's return is definitely there. CBS Paramount (the studio, not the network) is working to find it a new home. That's good enough for me!

Thanks for the awesome article. Jericho Rangers are here and we are not going away until we get season 3!!!! :O)

There is still a lot of hope for this Show, just not on CBS.
We'll be back!
Thanks for the article.

Thank you for writing about Jericho. I have never been involved in a campaign to save a TV show before, but then there hasn't been a show that has impacted me the way Jericho has. It truly is quality television, which is becoming more and more difficult to find, particularly on the big networks. I am hopeful one of the cable channels will see what a gold mine they could have in this show, and pick it up for a third season and beyond.

Whats the hold up,thats all i want to know.jericho is a great show with a great fanbase.Why is takeing so long to get picked up ? I just dont get it.

Jericho is one of the best shows on tv. CBS was foolish to cancel this show. Maybe if they had called it "CSI Jericho" it would still be on the air. We Rangers are hopeful that the Sci Fi channel or some other cable network will pick up this gem of a show.

Awesome Jericho Article! Fans standing up for quality programming on TV and fighting the Antiquated Nielsen ratings systen = Jericho Fans

Thanks for this great article. I have never cared enough for a television series to be outraged when it was cancelled. This is a show worth fighting for and I hope that it gets picked up again by another network soon. We must continue to fight to retain quality television programming.

Exactly, the type of show when people try to help even when they normally wouldn't take the time. A network that truly cares about quality program should pick this show up immediately!

Hopefully CBS Paramount will see that the Jericho Rangers are ready and willing to cough-up the dough for another FULL season.

Appreciate your super article on Jericho and it's fans. As you've read, we know we won't go back on CBS. And as you read above, we're working on another network or cable picking up the series. It's again repeated in the comments prior to mine that many people, such as myself, are tired of the "cloned cookie cutter" recipe for TV: Reality Shows, Game Shows, and CSI - name your city. Speculation has gone around that had they named the show CSI Jericho, it would probably still be on! All joking aside, we enjoyed watching good writing, excellent acting, scripted tv that we could watch with our kids or our grandmothers. I think that's why this group of people invested so much money in not only the commercial and billboards, but in ad's in Variety and other publications. We want Jericho back in some form and believe it's worth it to invest in that becoming a reality. Thanks again for writing about our efforts.

Thank you for your great coverage and the article of our efforts, those of us who call ourselves the JERICHO Rangers. This show is far beyond anything thatl can be put into words. When you have a fandom response such as JERICHO has brought, theres something to be said for that show. How many tv shows are quality television, envoking fans worldwide to raise funds as we have?

CBS television and all other networks need to rethink how they count their viewers. We are all not neison familys. We are however a voice to be reckoned with. A community that will not be silenced, a community that take care of each other.

PLEASE join our movement! Help save JERICHO again!

This is a cause worth fighting for. We need more quality TV shows like Jericho that makes comment on the human condition instead of cheaply produced reality TV shows. I think Stephen Colbert needs to put the Nielsen ratings system "On Notice." I don't have a box; I apparently don't count. And I'll tell you something else, I'm the opposite of what CBS thinks this fan base is: I am a 44-year-old, white, married woman with a child with a disability. Taking a quote from GalaxyQuest, if I may, "Never give up; never surrender." All things are possible if you believe they can happen.

I can give a big "Amen" to RedSox comment about getting involved in a TV series. There have been some good series that have come and gone but none worth standing up and shouting, "Hey, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"...borrowing that line from "Network". Jericho's cutting edge drama should not have come as being something to shy away from, for pete's sake the book Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank was written in the 60's and it certainly didn't shy away from "what if".

Thank you for this great article on Jericho and it's fans.

Great article!! thank you Jericho is a show worth continuing,intelligent TV is fading fast
with all the reality/talent shows saturating network TV let those who want them watch them, those of us (and a you can see their are many) want a choice of a thinking persons show no matter where it airs.

Thanks for the coverage!

Still hoping and fighting for a season three of Jericho on a Cable network like SciFi!

Thank you for keeping Jericho visible. It's truly quality programming worth fighting for. I think Barney spoke for a lot us and we need to make a stand and fight for quality, thought provoking programming. We Jericho Rangers are still fighting the good fight and we'll never lose hope. Don't you either.

Our family is one of those families that bought the many pounds of nuts, donated money for ads... It made our family stronger by watching a true non Crime drama or reality moment - we were watching and sharing view on a family drama. We will continue to fight for our family's need for good TV. The Dennys, Mack, Ragan, Genesis, Daniel and Joshua

Thank for this article. Yep, us Jericho fans are still here, and we STILL want to see the rest of the story!

Thanks for the great article. Jericho is best show on television and I hope we'll hear an announcement real soon about another network having the vision to pick up this great show and its millions of loyal fans.

We'll follow Jericho anywhere and to any time slot.

Save Jericho Again !!

Thank you for bringing our fight to the forefront. We are trying so very hard to bring back what we feel is the best written and acted TV drama that we've seen in a long long time. The story can be a bit scarey but if you don't dwell on the destruction but on the intrigue of the conspiracy, it is a very good story line...somewhat like maybe a Tom Clancy novel. There are many more fans around the globe than alot of people realize and if the show is picked up by another network, I feel they will be astounded by how many of us there are. We will keep fighting until we can't fight any more. There is no such word as quit in a RANGER's vocabulary.

CBS change its mind? No chance of that. Its rare shows get a 2nd chance let alone a 3rd chance. Shows that some back from the dead only to lose more viewers are dead for good.

Barney is right. That is exactly why I got involved in this fight. Yes, I loved Jericho, but I soooooooooooo hated that anything on TV worth a minute of time was taken off the air over and over and over again. I'm not going to just sit and take it anymore.

As to changing CBS' "mind" - we don't even want to. I don't want Jericho back on CBS. They didn't know what to do with this show and really screwed it up - royally. So besides the fact that CBS doesn't own the show (CBS Paramount does - different company), we don't want it back on network TV.

CBS Paramount is actively looking and negotiating with cable stations to share in the production of Jericho. We have been told those talks are on-going and the producers and creators are optimistic.

So don't tell me NOT to fight. If we had listened to that advice, we would not be having this discussion right now.

Joanna, thank you so much for the article. Jericho is a great show and belongs on the air, and I hope that another station does pick it up so the story can go on. Their is so much more to tell. It is a wonderful family show that should not have been canceled. We rangers will not stop fighting for Jericho.

Thank you so much for the positive article about Jericho and our campaign to Save it for a 2nd time. This show struck a patriotic chord in me that I just refuse to give up on. It is thought provoking tv and how often do we see that anymore? The cast and crew have come to feel like family to us and you just don't give up on family when times are tough!!! So here we STAND and here we will FIGHT until we get our show back.

Jericho Rangers Will not Surrender!!! The Jericho Rangers on the show didn't surrender their town and we won't either!!!

If you want to help in the fight go to www.savejerichoagain.com you will find everything you need and all the links to all the info you will need to help us SAVE JERICHO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

I agree with everything written here, except for comment No 41. I am proud to have donated to the TV ad, written letters, bought the DVD and done anyting else I could think of. I am proud to be a Ranger and a member of the Jericho family. I miss my family and want them home. Thank you for the article and for helping us with our cause. When I begin to lose hope I think about a quirky TV show (It belonged to CBS) named Due South that has a history similar to Jericho. They were cancelled by CBS twice and went on to have two more seasons. It wasn't easy, but it happened. As far as CBS changing it's mind. They messed up twice. I'm done with them. Let's go to some cable channel that will appreciate us and see us for what we are, loyal fans of a great show with a great cast who has chosen to stay together and fight with us.

Jericho had more viewers than Nielsen in currently equipped to estimate. The new media of online viewing, Ipod and Amazon downloads, and even Xbox Live downloads were not counted. The numbers just for those easily exceeded the Nielsen live ratings estimates.
The end result? CBS cancelled a show with millions of uncounted fans and lost a loyal audience of young tech savvy viewers that advertisers desire the most. I also have never fought for a TV show and even watch some reality shows. Jericho was the only drama my family (and all my friends) watched. I have not tuned into CBS ever since it was cancelled.

Joanna thank you for your support ''Jericho'' is a high quality exciting family show with no adult suprises tossed in for effect. I'm proud to be a small part of trying to change cheap minded reality TV. We the public deserve better.

Jericho is a must see TV Series, good drama for the entire family. I just bought season 2 and it's great. I hope everyone hears about Jericho!

I am getting really tired of people saying, "there is no chance", "it won't happen", "don't even try". And I'm really angry when people say low Nielsen Ratings when that is totally false. New Media is here right now and viewers watch when they want and where they want. I love my computer and I watch ALOT of my favorite shows ONLINE. The Writers Strike and now the potential Actors strike is all about getting that piece of the pie and Jericho gave a voice to New Media viewers who were not counted in the inaccurate bean-counters of the dinosaur called Nielsen. Jericho deserves a network who see's and knows the value of this ONLINE market and will treat it like the "GEM" of a show that it has always been.

Thank you for keeping us in the news. Jericho is a very special show. Good storylines, good acting. It is one of the few quality shows on TV. We might be "NUTS", but we know a good thing when we see it

Thank you for noticing the efforts to save the fascinating drama that is "Jericho." The show fell victim to CBS' misguided attempts to judge success solely in terms of Nielsen ratings. We continue to fight for an outlet, perhaps on cable, that will appreciate quality programming and a solid fanbase.

Thanks for writing about our efforts to get the show back!

Joanna, Thank you for the great article on our efforts to save Jericho. This is one of those one in a million shows that really makes you think. It is superb all the way from the subject matter, to the writing directing and acting. We need thisshow to continue and we will follow it whever it may go.
Thanks again,

Thanks for the article about Jericho and the Jericho Rangers. We will never give up! Season 3 and beyond!

Our "good will always prevail" pop culture? Is this the same pop culture that so vehemently watches people screw each other over and stab each other in the back on garbage reality shows? Hmmm, I think I'll stick with a quality show like Jericho, even if it does give us a small taste of a possible reality, however upleasant it may be. Jericho is the best show in terms of writing, acting and producing to come along in quite some time, and CBS completely dropped the ball on it. Thanks for the write up Joanna, we all appreciate it.

Thanks Joanna! Great article, and insight to what's happening today with Jericho's fan base. Appreciate that you are also a fan of not only Jericho but quality scripted television. You should come over to the CBS Boards, and join our little "rag tag" group of supporters. There's lots going on, and you'd be in good company too! We're posting under the "Season 2" threads... Everyone is welcome!
