Rex Hudler Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 I didn't really like the direction last night's episode took. Maybe they needed to go that way not knowing whether there would be another season or not, but I just wasn't crazy about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Link "Jericho," the post-apocalyptic CBS drama whose devoted fans rallied to save it from cancellation, has met its end. The show failed to increase its audience and will air its final episode Tuesday, the network said Friday. "Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more," CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said in a statement. "We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try." "Jericho," which stars Skeet Ulrich, was canceled last May, triggering a fan protest that deluged the network with about 40,000 pounds of peanuts _ a tribute to the defiant "Nuts!" line uttered by Ulrich's character in the first-season finale. ... Last fall, "Jericho" was averaging 10.5 million viewers. When it returned in the spring, it drew about 8.1 million, about a 23 percent decline from the first half of the season. It's been averaging about 6 million viewers in its current run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Son of a b****. Does anyone know if this is a one or tour hour finale? I watched the most recent episode several days ago and, until now, thought it was possible the show would be extended. I know the sentimental moments with Ulrich's character being interrogated and visited by people in his life is reminiscent of those shows where past characters all seem to make appearances; but the ending with Cheyenne, to me, seemed difficult to wrap up quickly. Just think about it -- somehow Jake and Hawkins are going to avoid capture while traveling to Wyoming, locate the bomb, and disarm or remove it before being captured in ONE episode? Maybe that doesn't happen, who knows. I think it'd be great if the government came though with their wishes and detonated the bomb. No one would expect that ending. Also, what happens with Jericho? It'd be ridiculous to just end it permanently without indicating whether or not the town is ready to move on. You can't cover every character, obviously, but atleast have some closure.

southsideirish71 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 CBS is such a pile of dung. The Unit, great show follow it for a couple of years. They cancel it. Now Jericho. I can't wait to see more Kid Nation and other crap that comes out of the reality TV ranks. Thank god 25k Nielsen households made up of old people are the ones who made the decision here.

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 10:20 PM) How did it end? Hawkins and Jake got the bomb to Texas so Texas is not siding with Cheyenne. Ending implies there will be a civil war. As for Jericho, Beck sees the truth and has sided with the town and so have his men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The show had too many convoluted plots and implausibilities to be taken seriously. If you missed the first run, you were screwed. When they came back from cancellation, the writers/producer made no effort to bring in backstory to draw in new viewers. Thus, their ratings stayed down.
