CBS to "Jericho" Fans: You Win!

JerichoCongratulations, obsessive "Jericho" fans -- you have officially broken CBS. The "canceled" show has been quickly resurrected and will be back in 2008, the network announced late yesterday. But CBS still needs your help.

Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, posted an open letter to fans announcing the decision and imploring them to now focus their attention on bringing more viewers to the show, saying, "We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks." Doesn't CBS have a marketing department for that?

The show's fans had bombarded CBS offices with peanuts (a reference only fans of the show would get) as a form of protest. The tactic worked so well, Tassler closed her letter with, "Please stop sending us nuts :)"

this is the one show I watch on CBS, I'm glad its back on the air, its not as good as Lost and some others but after starting off slow it got very exciting by the end.

If they show re-runs of the first season this summer, I reccomend it. Lots of mysteries but you also get alot of answers as well.

Woo Hoo! Go Jericho Rangers!

#7 - They killed of Johnston because he wanted to leave the show for another project. He's receiving many kudos for his work on Deadwood. Maybe going back to HBO? Whatever the reason, I think he was fantastic on Jericho and will greatly miss him.

I have never watched the show. But I will now that I have seen so much about it in these bolgs. Hopefully I will be able to catch right on or they will show reruns this summer.
Yes TMZ, CBS has a maketing dept. But I (maybe like many) do not watch alot of TV anymore. Perhaps these shows need to blog more lol.

I think the Jericho fans next project is to protest Paris being released from prison due to FAVORITISM. Bitch needs some nuts to the head. (oh, wait, that's a normal Saturday night date for her. Nevermind.)

What's wrong with her face in this picture?:  1712 days ago

YEAH :) :) I am so thrilled! THANK YOU CBS. This is a wonderful show. My suggestion ............ run reruns from the beginning and advertise it heavily so others can catch on. It's a wonderful show and an amazing cast.

YESSSSSS!!!!!
I LOVE THE SHOW!!! I am a "Skeet" fan.
Gerald McRaney can come back in previous life past scenes with his family before
US was bombed. I want to see more of Jake's past working with the Contractors in Iraq.
Please do not shoot any scenes in Iraq. We want everyone to stay alive.
Write some scenes from his past when Emily's brother was killed. Jonus' son?
I am looking foward to my weekly series of "JERICHO"
Again, Thank you.
