I waited all day to hear the news I felt certain was coming and it was worth it...Jericho is back! All the e-mails, snail-mails and shipments of peanuts did the trick. Getting a show back is rare but Jericho is back from the dead and I am thrilled!
Here's the official statement on the CBS Jericho Boards...
June 6, 2007
To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and
probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television
series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been
heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season
next year. In success, there is the
potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around
the show. But that community needs to
grow. It needs to grow on the CBS
Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the
show available.
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.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time
period that “Jericho”
will return to our schedule. However, in
the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show
to new audiences. This includes
re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer,
streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience
Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing
the story of Jericho
in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know
specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your
support of “Jericho”
in such an extraordinary manner. Your
protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment
P.S. Please stop
sending us nuts :)
