Jericho: The Series Finale
« on: March 25, 2008, 07:19:07 PM »
No amount of nuts will save the show this time. CBS has officially (and permanently) pulled the plug on Jericho. Tonight's episode will be the last.  :cry

Viewership went way down, what's a network to do?

link

The link is to a blog that gives a good sumation of what happened to Jericho. The LA Times also has a good article.

Bottom line is exactly as LePaul said. Ratings were down. There were several factors that hurt Jericho like extended hiatus, bad timeslot and diminished cast.

Odds were you'd eventually get one right.  ;)

Oh well, it wasn't half bad.  Hopefully we'll now get CSI: Toronto!

I hope they give it a proper ending.

Don't mess with Texas.

So long, Jericho. You will be missed.

Not necessarily . It is trying to be sold to cable. Sci Fi channel is expected to pick it up.

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.

Hang around for a bit. The direction things are headed nowadays they could possibly be more than a few of those plaques scattered around the world.
We may even have to reopen our embassy in London.  ;)

I tried watching that show. It just gets mired in too much soap for me. I like the pretense of the show though.
