Just wondering how many watchers out there? I was watching iT AND then got to the point where I couldnt stay up to watch it on my days off...I was sooo tired. ANYWAYS...I just read online that they are bringing it back. I didnt even know that it was canceled? Why would they cancel a show with two incredible looking men on it anyways? LOL

I second everything the first responder said. I followed the campaign from day one. Even put in my share of money towards the nuts. One of the biggest issues the fans were battling is there were more people watching than what were calculated. See a lot of people used Tivo, DVR, and VHS to record it and watch it later. There are also the many that watched it online at cbs. These people were not counted in the audience of the show. The big thing the fans wanted was an updated way of calculating the neilson ratings since technology is so beyond just sitting in front of the TV and watching a show.
Just an FYI you can visit http://www.cbs.com to catch up on the series. You can watch all 22 full episodes online. They also plan to reair the first 22 during the summer to attempt to bring in more viewers. You can also visit http://www.jerichonuts.com for all the details on the campaign over the last 3 weeks.

I love Jericho and was so happy when it returned this year but it only aired 2/3 eposodes and then channel 10 here booted it... I hope they bring it back maybe in a different time slot I was so upset when I changed channels to watch it and a movie was showing instead....

Jericho is one of my favorite shows to watch- Lost is the other- I was totally miffed when they cancelled it- How could they leave the show like that! Looks like a bunch of dedicated fans signed numerous petitions- called into CBS to complain, sent letters complaining--- and then some even sent in peanuts- lots and lots of peanuts- CBS came to their senses and decided to reinstate for midseason- 7 shows- with a possibility of more if the viewer count goes up! I'm there- I love it- I was boycotting CBS- I've never had a favorite show taken off the air because of cancellation! Don't get me wrong-- I like reality tv as well- but it's good to have something else to watch! Long Live Jericho!

They put the show on haitus and it lost a lot of its fans. It's not fun for a show to move around, disappear, and then be brought back on for a little while before being canceled. I have never seen the show, but it looks fascinating in commercials. Apparently, fans sent 50,000 pounds of peanuts to the CBS network and convinced them to give 'Jericho' another chance. They ordered 7 more episodes for midseason, with a promise of more if people watched the seven. This really is a testament to fans of the show, because how often do network head honchos change their mind due to viewer requests?

My wife and I love Jericho! I really hated to see the Johnston Green character die, though. I am looking forward and hoping to seeing it next season.

I love Jericho. It is one of the best TV shows out there, after Prison Break. I'm extremely sad they cancelled it, but it's good they are bringing it back. Hopefully they can continue it for a long long time because it looks like a fairly low budget tv show compared to 24 or Prison Break.
