I think the show`s main problem , as far as CBS goes , is it gets a little too close to home in a lot of ways in today`s world.
Hopefully either Sci Fi or another cable channel will pick it up. Some of them are not too interested in being PC.

I like the pretense of the show though.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you meant 'premise'.  ;)

Where did you hear that? Everything I've read says it's dead. I'd love to see it return and they did leave it open for more episodes at the end, but this story arc is finished.

CBS has not really marketed the show well (i.e. Baliey's Tavern glasses) but I would LOVE to get one of those ROT Embassy plaques.

I really hope SciFi does pick up Jericho, but I'm not holding my breath. A lot of the cast has already scattered and committed to new work. A totally retooled Jericho would be basicly starting from scratch, but the way they left the story it's not impossible.

I would love to see professional wrestling exiled from the SciFi channel.  I cant think of a better replacement!

Holden it's the story of a small Kansas town after a major nuclear attack on the US.

My insult was that if Texas saved the day, it must be a fantasy

Once again I apologise.

great show.. love to see it picked up by someone who wouldn't put a commercial in every 5 minutes.

Love the fact that the last of the free states was Texas.   

Also.. did you notice that the first thing the tyrannical government did was get rid of the right to keep and bear arms?   "can't control people if they can shoot back"

It was a show that didn't lean left enough to survive in my opinion.    I mean... guns good?    Texas= freedom?  that will never do.

Just saw the finale. Good rap up of the main story line (even if it was rushed) and the ending was good ... even if it was a bit Pyhrric considering what was about to happen to America.
