1. This show is ridiculous. This is the most ridiculous portrayal of what would happen after a nuclear bomb that I can imagine. Is this a government sponsored program to try and mollify the public so that we know that the whole community can just come together and have a nice little BBQ when North Korea nukes us???????? I can't believe this show will continue.

2. I think if one tries to take this show too seriously it can indeed be criticized to the point of no return! I am pleased however to see that it has been picked up for the season. Mainly because of Skeet Ulrich. I've liked him since first seeing him in "Scream" and have followed his career a bit and have seen several of his attempts at series t.v. get cancelled. So many of the "ridiculous" aftermath notions on this show could very be handled in a very cool way by the writers if they will work on a sort of Stephen King's "The Stand" - kind of twist. Like these people are around for a reason and here's why they are...Let's hope the powers that picked it up know something even better around the corner for the show that we haven't seen yet.

3. I have to admit that I do enjoy this series, I am glad it is going to continue. It reminds me of the book Alas Babalon, written by Pat Frank in the 1950's If they don't get sidetracked this can be a terrific show.

4. I am so happy Jericho got picked up! I love Skeet Ulrich and all the cast and the storylines are quite intriguing. You have to take the show for what it is, a tv show. Sit back and enjoy it! No show is realistic. Do you think CSI investigators solve 100% of their cases? and can get a blood sample analyzed in 5 minutes?

5. I'm hooked on Jericho, mainly because of Skeet Ulrich. I enjoy his acting and love his portrayal of Jake Green. He does a wonderful job. I like the mystery, intrigue, and yes, the romance. I'm neither a devoted Heather or Emily supporter. I don't care who Jake end up with as long as I get to watch Skeet every Weds night. Feb can't get here soon enough!!!
