Jericho must live on!

Will CBS make a decision about Jericho after Ep 3 airs this week? Carol Barbee thinks so.
"I think this next airing will probably tell the tale," Barbee said in an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco on Feb. 24, referring to the upcoming Feb. 26 episode, "Jennings & Rall." "Our numbers have been OK, [but] not great. Our [demographic] has been very good; they've been very happy with that. But we'll see. ... If we trend up this week, I think we'll look pretty good. If we don't trend up, or if we stay the same, I think we'll have to wait and see what they want to do with us. I mean, they're going to air all seven; it's just a matter of how they feel about producing more."
Barbee denied knowing anything from CBS but she wouldn't be able to tell if she did know. It is good to hear she's looking into other options.
"Just in case CBS does pull the trigger on Jericho, Barbee said she's already begun looking for a new home on cable television. "There were other people who were interested in us to begin with, and now, I think, with the whole nuts [fan] campaign, and also with the amazing reviews that we've gotten for these seven episodes, I feel like we have made this franchise more valuable to a cable network who would want to take us on as a niche market," Barbee said. (The "nuts campaign" was a successful lobbying effort by Jericho fans, who mailed tons of peanuts to CBS to bring the show back after the network canceled it after the first season.)"
I was hoping that “Jericho” would end up on cable. I really like it.
Ping!
hmm if it was on in a better time slot it would do a lot better.
I don't think CBS is serious about giving Jericho a chance. That's why I would rather move it to Sci-Fi and give Jericho a three year contract.
No cbs would rather put on another mindless reality show.
I only watch it because it’s on my cable’s On Demand.
They definitely aren’t. The time slot sucks out loud.
I hope it does go to Sci-Fi, I absolutely love this series. I’m generally not a network tv-watcher, either.
L
Mine as well..from the very beginning.
Jericho must live on!
May God Bless the Allied States of America!
I know it is a TV show, but for some reason this flag kind of pisses me off.
That would be excellent! I’ll follow it whatever channel it lands on.
They might do so much in these remaining 3 episodes that I hope they have enough material to support another few seasons.
what flag is that ?
It's the flag of The Allied States of America, who will probably end up being the "bad guys". (if they aren't already...haven't watched the last two episodes still on Tivo storage).
It was first shown at the end of the second to the last episode of season one.
I think this show should last until 2011 or so, when they’ll make 100 episodes. There’s a lot of material to make it last that long if done correctly. Hopefully Sci-Fi Channel will pick it up.
Wife watches, have some friends who are addicts... Me, I have watched it... can’t say its the worst show I’ve ever seen, but I ain’t going out of my way to watch it.
From a practicle standpoint putting it on from 10-11 is probably going to harm it in terms of audience... While you will get an audience there, it won’t likely be as large as the same show would get in a 9-10 time slot.
