i think its a good show even if there are lots of untied knots stuff happening for no reason that doesnt mean much to the show and lots of stuff that you want to know but you dont is watching jericho a waste since it is always changing and coming back with new stuff making if confusing to follow i do have a feeling that this show could turn into the show lost where everything is totally of subject of the show

I have watched the first 11 episodes and I really enjoy it so far apart from the major. He is a pain along with his wife, but apart from them I have been gripped.
The bloke who is in cahoots with the authorities by email is my favourite character and for me, that's what keeps me watching, as I want to find out what he's all about. I do hope it doesn't turn into one of those programmes that drags on too long before some of the pieces can be joined together.
I will stick it out.
I do enjoy alot of American series like this, in the UK they do not have the budget to produce to such a standard, although we do make some good programmes like this sometimes.

If you like Hawkins, you should visit www.whodroppedthebomb.com to view the Countdown webisodes. It tells what happened to him before the bombs went off.

It's a great show on a number levels.
First and foremost, it's great entertainment. It captures the imagination of what life would be like if the unthinkable happens. Writing is pretty good, although some of the sidebars get a little boring. Acting is pretty decent. Characters are enjoyable (except for the Mayor's wife who I am ready to strangle).
It's also a great show because it brings being a "prepper" into the mainstream. Hawkins is the ultimate prepper. He's got his own food, electricity, even internet access. Even if the nuke bombs never fly, you need to prep for disaster. Hurricanes, blizzards, earthquakes, etc. You should, at minimum, have a 3 day supply of food and water in reserves.
Granted, the prepping the show is a just that...a show. Not everything there should be taken at face value, but if it stirs up enough of an interest in the mainstream to prep for disaster and even one person's life is saved because of it...it's worth it.

I wish the show brought more of the disaster aspect into play. Maybe they will in coming seasons, but the destruction has really been underplayed. I agree though, the sidebars are a little too drama-ish for me, and are a bit blah.

I enjoy the show, but it doesn't hurt me at all if I miss some shows here and there.
I don't feel like I am really missing much if I happen to not catch it.
So most likely it'll be cut here soon anyway. But I wouldn't mind if it stayed.

I think it's a good show that just hasn't caught on yet. I go to the website www.whodroppedthebomb.com to get more info on what's going on. I wish they would just give us the big picture, sometimes. But, you'd have to admit that if this really did happen this way, everyone in a town like that would be in the dark, too.

both my husband and I like the show. I'm still curious about hawkins and who did it. We can't wait for the new episodes come out.

Jericho is a great TV show.. because it tackles on how each person do if we encounter such situation like nuclear bomb... and I admire this show because in some ways it is informative...

It's definitely a good show. Never miss an episode. It was rather unsettling to get hooked on it early in the first season, only to find out that they may not be shooting a second. Thankfully, more than enough people also jumped on the bandwagon, so they're still making episodes. It would be like ending 24 in 12 episodes, you can't do that to me!
I think the fact that the storyline hasn't really ever been done the way they're doing it makes it attractive. Not a whole lot out there that you can point to and say "they're just ripping this off".
Great show!
