Nuts for Jericho

If there is something that I've always liked is the pressure that some united guys on the Internet can do.

For those of you who don't know, CBS decided not to continue the drama series Jericho with a new season, leaving the viewers with an unfinished ending.

Jericho is a post-nuclear attack drama series, based on a small town in Kansas called Jericho, in how such a small town can survive the radiation, the lack of electricity, communications, et cetera. It was really a refreshingly different series.

One of the reasons why Jericho has had such low ratings is because CBS sliced the series in half, with a pause of about 3 months.

What is amazing is the popular response to the cancellation of the series: it has been featured in several front page digg articles, starting from online petitions (over 68000 signatures now), and ending up in a massive sending of nuts to the CBS, as a symbol of the last words of the main character.

After the amount of mails, and nuts, i guess, received at CBS, the CBS President, Nina Tassler, issued a statement saying they were working in a solution to provide a closure for the series.

Anyway, if you like the series, sign the petition, or send some nuts. If you haven't seen it, you can get it from the iTunes Store. There's even a site called Jericho Lives where they keep track of all the petitions.

CBS has got to know they made a serious error in cancelling Jericho.  If not there are many of us who are more than willing to let them know they made a big mistake!

Save Jericho!

I love Jericho.CBS promoted this show, although not very well, and I watched. Once you had me and about 9 million other people hooked, you CANCEL it!
NO!
I watched as you wanted, now you should renew this show as your end of this little "deal". I kept my end!

I've seen your fall line-up. Trust me, you're going to NEED a show ready when some of your experiments fail! Make that show Jericho and redeem yourselves in the eyes of millions of Jericho fans!
You had to know that it was an extremely bad move to do a split-season. Yet, you accept no responsibility. Instead you lay the blame on this amazing show. HOW DARE YOU!

We, the fans, want another season....this one done right. Then you'll see the true picture of how many viewers find this show to be amazing and deserving of our time AND MONEY!
To end it this way speaks very badly for CBS. It tells us that we dare not get engaged in your programs because you can, and will, break our hearts again.
