QUOTE ("http://www.syfyportal.com/news423672.html") Will CBS Find Closure For 'Jericho'? Network deluged with e-mail, phone calls, nuts By MICHAEL HINMAN Source: SyFy Portal May-20-2007 Less than a week after CBS pulled the plug on its post-Apocalyptic series "Jericho," fans have apparently been making contact with the network in droves, demanding that if nothing else, CBS find closure for the cliffhanger left at the end of Season 1. That campaign has included letter writing and even the delivery of nuts to the network, highlighting one of the final words of the series when Skeet Ulrich's character of Jake Green tells the sheriff of the neighboring town of New Bern that is at war with Jericho, paying homage to a World War II story by his grandfather. The campaign may have paid off, with CBS making an announcement on the official "Jericho" message boards that there could be plans in the works to at least wrap up the story. "We have read your e-mails over the past few days and have been touched by the depth and passion with which you have expressed your disappointment," wrote Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment. "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 in the compelling drama that was the 'Jericho' story." There are a number of campaigns under way to save the show, many of which were detailed by the CBS affiliate KWCH in Wichita, Kan. One such campaign is where peanuts are being sent to the network as part of a "Nuts To You, CBS." Another campaign asked fans to send e-mails to Kelly Kahl, senior executive vice president of programming operations at CBS. Fans have even set up a MySpace Page to organize a fan response. Of course, such tactics have worked well in the past. The Save Farscape campaign was single-handedly successful in getting Hallmark Entertainment to produce a closure telemovie of "Farscape" that eventually was aired on SciFi Channel. Fan response to the cancellation of the short-lived Fox series "Firefly" allowed Universal Pictures to commission a motion picture based on the series called "Serenity." And the original "Star Trek" was one of the early examples of how successful fan campaigns can be when they forced NBC to order a third season of that show. "Jericho" was cancelled last week in almost a last-minute decision as some close to the series was expecting a renewal even right up to the start of network upfront presentations in New York City. While the series had a strong run of episodes early in the season, by the time it returned several weeks after its first part of the season, "Jericho" had stiff competition against "American Idol"-fueled programming on Fox among other places, but was still generating decent ratings for CBS. Man I loved this show, I pray to god they AT LEAST wrap up the story if not continue the show. I dunno why I like it so much, could be the characters (Even though Johnston Greene is now dead. The guy that played him was like the COOLEST OLD MAN EVER.), could be (and probably is) the bitchin "What If?" storyline that's always been something I've kicked around the back of my head (Right there along with my zombie apocalypse and robot rebellion plans). Could be the "Wait WTF!" cliffhangers a la Heroes or LOST. Could be that bitchin soundtrack (dun doo doo doo da dun doo doo doo -- gets your blood pumpin.) QUOTE (Jericho) Hawkins: This satellite must remain a secret. Johnston: (pauses briefly) Sounds good. Jake: What, that's it? Johnston: What do you want me to say? I get it, man has a satellite, doesn't want anyone to know. Jake: Yeah, but... Johnston: I am about to go to war with New Bern, Kansas, the home of the nearest Costco - today is already just about as weird as I can handle. I'm not asking any more questions. ^^^ That's why Johnston was super duper mega awesome. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

It always shows how good a television series is when you get mass fan outrage when it is canceled.

I enjoyed it and have to download the last couple of episodes to see how Season 1 ends.
I definitely hope they bring it back, even if it's to bring closure to the story. Yeah, the episodes are a little slow but the story line itself is great and is an awesome concept to ponder (nuclear holocaust with no to retaliate against). -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

What do u mean they dont do anything on the island? They've been attacked by the Others! You learn about the Dharma Initiative and how Benjamin Linus got rid of them.
And now there seems to be some odd conspiracy, because news reportings on the outside world are showing that the plane was found at the bottom of the sea somewhere, but yet they're all alive....and now some crew has come to "rescue" them (while everyone thinks they're all dead), but they're really there to get Ben Linus....and only 6 of them got off the island alive or something. OMG, so much! |

well, it got canned again (no surprise - although running it against american idol was kinda a big "fuck you"). what WAS a surprise was that the last episode was holy shit goddamn fucking awesome. it had everything. even fighter jets! :drool:
Anyways, they left it open enough that it could be continued, even though they gave us a great sense of closure as it is now. I'd like to see it go on, and rumor has it CBS is shopping it out to CW and Sci-Fi, but chances are slim. Still, it would be the highest rated show (by viewers) for the CW, and second highest for Sci-Fi... so maybe. but keep in mind both are owned by CBS. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.
