CBS has cancelled Jericho. Again. Last year’s cancellation left a sour taste in people’s mouths, and this year’s probably won’t be much better. While we will get some closure in Tuesday’s series finale, most Jericho fanatics thought from the beginning that CBS sent the series off to die so they’d have an excuse to get their way. The producers are shopping the show around to see if it can be picked up on cable, but if it were to get picked up elsewhere, expect even more budget cuts.
“The March 25th episode of Jericho will be the series finale,†the network said in a statement. “Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more. We thank an engaged and spirited fan base for keeping the show alive this long, and an outstanding team of producers, cast and crew that went through creative hoops to deliver a compelling, high quality second season. We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try. We listened to our viewers, gave the series an opportunity to grow, and the producers put a great story on the screen. We’re proud of everyone’s efforts.â€
I think it’s ridiculous that CBS cancelled Jericho…yet again! With all the crap that’s on tv and the one good show that everyone I know loves is gone! I watch the reruns on the CW network, I’m hoping that maybe they will pick it up.
What can we do to get this show back on the air?!?
There’s talk of a Jericho movie, but I think that’s about as close as we’ll get.
