Jericho

By Brian Howard The Jericho-esque Day One took 19 percent, the ridiculous Jerry Seinfeld’s The Marriage Ref 12 percent and the sappy looking Parenthood 10 percent. The equally unappealing Trauma, Who Do You Think You Are?, Mercy, 100 Questions and Breakthrough with Tony Robbins all took less than 10 pe...

By Amy Vernon Once again, Jericho fans are providing troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with some entertainment to help pass the days. Executive Producer Jon Turteltaub: "You're an inspiration to all of us.

By Amy Vernon Jericho Executive Producers Jon Turteltaub ("National Treasure," "National Treasure: Book of Secrets") and Carol Barbee (CBS' "Swingtown") also have posted messages on www.savejerichoagain.com, applauding the TV ad as "brilliant" and "amazing."

So the Fairgrounds have reopened for business! Here's the note from Gwen about the carnival: For those of you w...

By Amy Vernon It'll air on Sci Fi, Discovery and the History Channel, during primetime and on shows that include Ghost Hunters, Deadliest Catch, a special on Area 51 and a special on Greensborough, Kansas, a town devastated by tornadoes for which Jericho fans raised thousands of dollars to help resid...

By Amy Vernon • Nice post about the keep Jericho alive movements. • About the Nuts to Nielsen movement. • CBS may have canceled Jericho, but the net couldn't cancel Jerichon! (May 23, 24, 25, & 26 in Oakley, Kansas.) • Dan Shotz and Jon Steinberg talk to IFMagazine. • More on Nuts to Nielsen, from BuddyTV.

By Amy Vernon Hosted this week by the lovely Erika/kricka on her blog, Short Story Life, the Blackjack Fairgrounds Jericho Blog Carnival continues to flourish. I'm also looking for future guest hosts. Gwen at Jericho-Kansas.com is our next hostess with the mostest, coming up May 29. I'm seeking hosts fo...

By Chris Serico Like last week's results, actors from their shows also filled the poll's next two slots: Rainn Wilson (92 votes), Dwight on "The Office," and reader-submitted Skeet Ulrich (73 votes), Jake on "Jericho." (I'd still contend that Ulrich is a lead actor, but it's an interesting poll trend re...

By Amy Vernon But that'd still be better than nothing, eh? According to the New York Times, CBS Paramount has "held talks" with cable provider Comcast regarding Jericho. This is along the lines of the deal that NBC announced last week that it had struck with DirecTV to keep Friday Night Lights on the air f...

By Amy Vernon Dubbed “Nuts to Nielsen,” the idea is that folks send peanuts to Nielsen to point out how many people are uncounted in the company’s ratings sampling program. It comes, of course, from last season’s successful Nuts to CBS effort, which got Jericho a (short) second season. That, of course, c...

By Amy Vernon Rumors had already begun circulating that Jericho’s Executive Producer Carol Barbee had been already ‘shopping’ the show to cable networks – where Jericho’s ratings, considered sub-par by CBS, would be stellar elsewhere. According to Barbee and other sources close to Barbee, the Sci...

By Amy Vernon MaryAnn Johanson tells us why this was the start of the next American Revolution and how the show was about about the best of what makes America America, in ‘Jericho’ blogging: “Patriots & Tyrants” posted at FlickFilosopher.com.

By Amy Vernon Given the fact that Jericho producers crammed an entire season’s worth of storyline into seven episodes, I thought they did a masterful job of wrapping it all up neatly enough that we wouldn’t have aneurysms if it did end up being the last episode ever. (Wanna know what would have given me an...

By Amy Vernon That Cheyenne skyline looks awesome in a totally creepy sort of way. God, I do loves me some Jake and Hawkins. Smith! THEY CANNOT KILL HAWKINS. Hawkins is completely right, but THEY CANNOT KILL HAWKINS. They’d better save Hawkins. Save Hawkins or you have me to answer to, you Texans!

By Amy Vernon In the land of Nielsen ratings, that’s pretty much suicide. (Or homicide, in the case of the network putting up a show against AI.) Its ratings were still decent, but not enough for CBS, apparently. After the season finale aired, CBS finally announced that Jericho wasn’t going to come back.

By Amy Vernon I have no wish to turn this entire post into a eulogy for Bonnie Richmond, because the boards have certainly become the place where she will live on forever. I wish to instead congratulate Shoshannah Stern for an amazing character who would never have been as memorable has she been played by...

By Amy Vernon Heather Heather's a straight-up, no-nonsense, exceptionally smart girl. While she didn't want to believe Hawkins, she knew that what he was saying made sense in a sick, twisted sort of way. And if Jake was vouching for Hawkins, then it had to be true. Jake Hawkins

By Amy Vernon JERICHO's other online engagement during its second season premiere week included 760,000 streams of episodes from its first season and 130,000 streams of various clips, upping JERICHO's first week cumulative streams to 1.41 million.

By Amy Vernon Despite a bout with the plague this week, she came through this this fantastic recap of Episode 3, "Jennings & Rall." So, visit Jericho Monster this afternoon for the Blackjack Fairgrounds blog carnival, and read on for kricka's thoughts on Tuesday's ep:

By Amy Vernon Caption info: Jake (Skeet Ulrich), Emily (Ashley Scott, center) and Heather (Sprague Grayden, left) [Amy note: I believe that's actually Mary Bailey, played by Clare Carey, though it is a bit dark in the back of the photo.] try to stop Goetz who feels he is above the law.

By Amy Vernon The "previously on" recap reminds us of our first encounters with Ravenwood, in Rogue River and then Crossroads and then reminds us that Ravenwood's in charge in Jericho now. Remember, Ravenwood is really the reason New Bern and Jericho went to war; when Jericho managed to repulse Ravenw...

By Amy Vernon The first scene of the episode "Condor" opens with Stanley Richmond doing what Stanley does best: being thoughtful, attentive and romantic.

By Amy Vernon Stanley loves that Mimi loves this. (more…) Seeing as I got the first three episodes as a screener from CBS, I figured I'd go all out for the first three eps, recap-wise. Later this week, we'll also have the second Blackjack Fairgrounds blog carnival for Jericho (submit articles here; learn...

By Amy Vernon In the first episode of the second season, it seems that April Parker, who plays Robert's wife Darcy, plays a bit of a more significant role than she did in the first season. Does that continue throughout these seven episodes? Is she more of a presence?

By Amy Vernon Photo courtesy of CBS.
