Jericho - Cancelled...

[Dead Kev]

Who's pissed? I kinda am.

I'm one who missed the entire 1st season, so I also missed the whole "nuts" deal. But I caught up courtesy of Netflix and got hooked. Now it's cancelled...figures.

Come on Sci-Fi (or anybody else)...pick it up already!

[Morticia]

Me too....:x

[DarthJoe8]

I almost watched this a couple of times but never got around to it.

[Zombob]

There is talk of it going to sci-fi channel!

[ZombiesAteMyDog]

if this goes to sci fi I am happy for all the fans but will be sad and angry, I am still pissed they took of journeyman, that was such a great show with great acting, awesome characters, and some really creative writing, and that show was practicly made for sci fi.

so lets hope together sci fi picks up jericho AND Journeyman and then everyone can be happy and I can finaly be done being so overly bitter about journeyman :doh:

also, I think it worth mentioning its practicly not even worth watching network TV anymore until a show is into its 3rd season, because if a show has any less then 12 - 13 million viewers, it gets the axe,, which sucks there are so many good shows that hover around 8 - 9 million and get cancelled.

I blame this on the fact that they started out the show by putting it against the American Idol result show.

Damn you AI.

I had the first season on itunes. It was good but nothing great.. IMO. it was a bit sloppy at some points. Sucks that its cancelled though.. could have went to cool places.

add it to the list

-firefly
-Invasion

......

[Crombie]

The information I have read states that it is being shopped around to other networks right now. Let's hope that someone picks it up!

[Darkness]

"I started watching this one just recently. Are you sure it's not still airing on the Sci-Fi Channel?"

[Morticia]

I think they are showing Season 1 on SciFi currently.

[Victor Clark]

Wow, I didn't know the show was cancelled yet! I admit I barely watched it, but it was still a decent show idea. And I agree that TV exacutives are cancelling shows way too soon. I'm still really pissed off that the show Drive was cancelled after only 3 episodes!

[Behemoth]

yeah, just the 1st season re-run on sci fi, i liked that show alot, it was inventive & had some true ( imo ) to life scenarios of what would happen if. journeyman was good too. the only channel i watch when i'm in the US is court tv, ( or true tv whatever name they call it ) cnn, history & discovery sci fi has those stupid ghost hunts, talk about over acting.:puke:

Here is a bit of info on Jericho maybe living on....


Jericho Seeks A New Home

Carol Barbee, executive producer of CBS' canceled post-apocalyptic series Jericho, told SCI FI Wire that talks are ongoing to find the show another home, perhaps on a cable network.

"I can't really say [much] about specifics, and, ... partially, it's because I'm not the one having those conversations," Barbee said in an interview on March 24, the eve of the show's final episode. "[CBS] Paramount [Television, which produces the show,] has been pursing it, and our agents have been into that, so, you know, I am pushing those people and coming up with ideas to have those people pursue."

Barbee wouldn't offer details about any talks. "There were several ideas that have been floated, and there was some interest, but we'll have to see," she said. "It wasn't something that could be sewn up before we were going to air the finale. ... It would have been better had we been able to announce one with the other, but it just didn't happen that fast."

Barbee said that she and the show's cast and crew got official word of the show's cancellation at the end of last week, in time to choose one of two endings for the season finale: A cliffhanger or a series ender. "We were told that they were having a meeting on Thursday, ... internally at CBS, to decide which of the endings to show for this Tuesday night's finale, and then we were given the heads up after that meeting that they were going to show the alternate [ending, with the series finale], which obviously to us meant that we were going to finish our run on CBS," Barbee said. Barbee asked CBS to delay its formal announcement for 24 hours so she could inform the cast and crew; the news broke on Friday.

If Jericho is not picked up for another season by a TV network, Barbee said that she could envision it living on in some other form. "There's definitely an Internet series to be had, and we always talked about a graphic novel, and ... a movie," Barbee said. "I mean, there are lots of things that I could easily see as a way to continue the story."

But time may be running out. Jericho wrapped its second season of episodes back in November, just as the writers' strike was beginning. Since then, the cast and crew have been freed to pursue other projects, and the show's sets and backlot have been dismantled and either destroyed or put into storage. Barbee herself has moved on to another series, Swingtown, created by Jericho alumnus Mike Kelley, about the lives of couples experimenting with sexual and social mores in a 1970s Chicago suburb, which will air on CBS this summer and is shooting on the same stages once occupied by Jericho.

Looking back on Jericho, Barbee was pleased that it attracted a core of die-hard fans who were responsible for getting CBS to resurrect the show for a second season. "We appreciated the second life that we had, and we feel like we've made the most of it, and we will just be forever indebted to the fans for taking us on this amazing ride," she said. "I think it will always be a highlight in our careers, that we got to be a part of that." Jericho's finale, "Patriots and Tyrants," airs March 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Was great show....One of the few reasons to watch T.V.

[stonyman65]

I was gonna watch it. Sounded interesting. geuss I don't have to hurry anymore. My friend has the 1st season. Im going to "borrow it" when I get a chance :evil:

[zombie butcher]

What they cancelled the show again? They cancelled it after last season but the fans support brought it back. I hope that another network picks it up.

Also yea they do axe show was too early. I was watching the Black Donnely's on NBC last year and they axed that one. Was a hell of a show too. NBC.com aired the remaining episodes that were made even though they weren't showing them on the air.

Its possible Journeyman could get picked up by Sci Fi since they are owned by NBC

[Braaaaaaaaaaaains]

I heard they were saying it had a chance of going to Sci-Fi. The only problem with it is that it is such a high budget show. Sci-Fi doesn't have the production money for a show like that

[Airborne]

You're right about that and it shows in their Saturday night movies.
