Yeah, it's dead.

CBS cancels 'Jericho'

What a shame.

Faille · 03-21-2008, 05:48 PM

So is Jericho really a ratings failure, or does it give more evidence that the ratings system itself is flawed?

Akileese · 03-21-2008, 07:28 PM

So were given a final 10 minutes where LITERALLY all hell breaks loose and now we get a whole hour of it? Neat.

Fuck CBS. They take a show that got pretty good ratings on reruns and then they move it into a horrible timeslot on a horrible day and expect it to crap out golden eggs. I really hope someone picks it up or something and airs a 3rd season. I know it won't happen, but I can fucking hope. This show deserves so much better than what those know nothing cocksucking network execs are giving it.

Faille, the system is a total fucking failure. There is a lot it doesn't take into account and it also doesn't take into account people who use DVRs to watch it at a later date, stuff like that. The ratings system was meant to exist and work well in the 80s and 90s and not the 21st century. I'm pretty sure that they'll eventually discard the rating system or change it appropriately, but until then well have to cope

Not entirely surprised, especially after the slot they put it. It did really well in DVR and online viewing and downloads from Itunes, but I guess that doesn't matter. And the networks wonder why they keep losing viewers to cable shows.

There's always a chance that another cable network will pick it up, but who knows. The fans are rallying, who knows what they will send this time (hogs???)

Screw you CBS for treating a show and its fans like crap (yet again).

Many people know of Jericho and have been watching it, but not very many Nielsen viewers. And with the late timeslot, most were watching it online or DVR. It will likely go down on as a cult classic and known for its Nuts campaign, but hopefully that's not the end of the story if someone else picks it up.

Need a billonaire to buy up quality TV shows that 'fail' and broadcast them on their own channel!

I hope some channel picks this show up, would be great for a cable show that does like 9 eps a year.

Heard an EZTV rumor that CW or Sci Fi may. Take that with a grain of salt I suppose.

CBS can eat a bag of cock.

Frax · 03-25-2008, 10:40 PM

Damn they opened up all kinds of crazy possibilities that we'll never get to see on screen probably. Left the show with a hopeful ending instead of doom and gloom at least, hopefully someone picks it up, as they have been saying, if it can keep the audience it has currently and moves to cable, it will be a highly rated cable show, similar to how BSG does.

The special effects with the F15s & F16s was better than I was expecting as well, and they didn't try to get too fancy and the scene was pretty short overall.

PS, yes CBS can eat a cock, this was a decent out of the usual formula crime/comedy/drama show and they didn't really give it a chance this season with the timing of the episodes and the actual time slot :/

Also, nice cameo by Marlo Stanfield in the final episode.

His secret friend in Jennings & Rall turns out to be the man really behind the attacks (probably above Valenti) and isn't happy that Hawkins tried to take the bomb away and has been tracking it via a device attached to the bomb. He gives Hawkins up to the Army which captures the bomb but not Hawkins. His plan is then to ship it to Cheyenne and blow them all up, removing all traces of the conspiracy behind the nuclear attacks. Jake is 'tortured' and broken out of prison by the Rangers, and has sleep deprived visions of his grandfather (The Big Lebowski who this time didn't lose his legs to some Chinamen in Korea) that leads him to believe its time for a revolution against the government. Hawkins tells Jake about the bomb situation, and they agree its time to go to Cheyenne to kick some ass. Previews showed fighter jets and big explosions. The end is coming. __________________ Government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. -Gerald Ford
