Jericho

By Cara de Pescado I was hooked on Jericho from the first commercial I saw. I made it a point to make room for the show in my appointment TV watching. I easily watched each episode at least twice. The show is far from being cheery, yet it still holds onto ...

By Diane Kristine Why do I hate Jericho? Jericho fans sent nuts? Veronica Mars fans should send Mars Bars! The Black Donnellys fans should send crackers! Studio 60 fans should send ... something smart! Next season, look for Friday Night Lights fans to send footballs, and 30 Rock fans to send rocks.

By Daniel J. Stasiewski Jericho fans will make one concession when it comes to their favorite post-nuclear drama -- the first half of the show’s debut season, the Everwood-wannabe, sci-fi, family-drama half, wasn’t good. No, it was bad. Why, then, did fans send 20 tons of nuts (a reference to the Jericho series fi...

By Chris Beaumont This may not be the freshest of news, but CBS is bringing back Jericho. The freshman post-apocalyptic drama, starring Skeet Ulrich, had been sent off to the scrap heap after its final episode a month back. The premature cancellation sparked a fan campaign of peanut sized proportions.

By Mary K. Williams The show depicts a post-apocalyptic existence set in the small town of Jericho, Kansas. One or more nuclear blasts have scarred the U.S. and Jericho struggles to survive and gather information from and about other survivors. They also have to deal with dangerous outsiders who want to domina...

By Chris Beaumont Meanwhile, Hawkins' story takes an interesting turn. Sarah has revealed herself for the phony that she is. She isn't there to help Hawkins, but retrieve the package that we learned about previously. The tension between the two comes to an explosive finish as the rest of Hawkins' family gets...

By Chris Beaumont Anyway, Jericho is back and it is back to stay. Despite my reservations, they successfully deleivered an episode that got my interest in the story back up -- way up. Be sure to tune in and give it shot, you may be surprised. CBS 8:00 PM Eastern time February 21.

By Matt Paprocki It focuses almost exclusively on two characters, Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) and Robert Hawkins (Lennie James). While Green is revealed to have a slightly dark past, it’s Hawkins who steals the show. James is fantastic in character, ...

By Matt Paprocki Aside from the closing moments which briefly continue the cliffhanger of wandering survivors marching into the town, “Day Before” stays entirely in the past. It focuses almost exclusively on two characters, Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) and Robert Hawkins (Lennie James). While Green is re...

By TV with MeeVee In Jericho, Skeet Ulrich plays Jake Green, an unlikely hero with a secret past, attempting to cope with the aftermath of nuclear war in his small hometown. That secret past has kept a lot of fans wondering: Just where was Jake been for the last five years? In this group interview, conducted a...

By Ian Woolstencroft I also tried a few of the other new series, notably Jericho, Shark and Justice. ... the sight of Jack standing looking at a mushroom cloud in the distance is one of ... Yet the main purpose of the episode seems to be to return Baltar to ...

By Ian Woolstencroft There’s zero subtlety about this show. This episode starts with the Stars and Stripes still flying over city hall and the whole series is pervaded with a sense of gung-ho “we will overcome all obstacles to survive” bullshit. There have been at least two nuclear detonations in major cities,...

By Ian Woolstencroft After checking that the radiation is below danger levels, the Mayor organises a search party for his son and a missing school bus. He attempts to calm the concerned parents only to be told, “That’s easy for you to say, you don’t have a child out there.” Cue clichéd cut to Jake.

By Tony Figueroa Since I used Gilligan's Island originally, let me continue with that model. The "Gilligan" is Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich), the prodigal son returning home for a short visit after a mysterious five-year absence. Jake's absence and life choices have been disappointing to "The Skipper," his...

This is definitely a midnight hour kind of idea – a small town comes under attack via a nuclear bomb. It’s sounds partially familiar to a Twilight Zone episode I saw once, except that it now acts as a series premise as opposed to a single episode. It could be a good series, but the characters and p...

By Mary K. Williams I do find myself liking this show in spite of these shortcomings. I wanted to see what happened in the second episode, especially when an empty prison bus is discovered on the outskirts of Jericho. I also wanted to know more about the helpful but mysterious Mr. Hawkins, (Lennie James) the form...

Jericho is an oddly optimistic apocalyptic drama, with sinister overtones overshadowed by a can-do, in-it-together attitude. Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) returns to his small Kansas hometown after a mysterious absence, where he's embraced by his mother, Gail (Pamela Reed), but not by h...
