Yeah it was, though I had missed the last two so I was a bit confused. The ratings are not good though.

I knew not to get attached to this show. In the last episode when the father died the bells were tolling in the background and I knew they had killed off the show. That mid season break killed this show. The last episodes were so good. Its a shame they didn't give this show a chance to grow. I think in a better time slot it could have gained an audience.

I think I'll do the same.
I've sent NBC about a dozen emails directed at Studio 60 (to save it). I planned on sending 13 emails to ABC, 1 for each week it's hiatus was forced upon us. Probably only 8 or so went out. I just sent them one a week but changed my wording each time. You could get into this habit quite easily, since auto-fill speeds it up. But I wonder if they even read viewer letters/emails? I'd like to think our opinions matter but the way network TV scheduling is changing, I don't think we have a voice anymore.
Let me just say this - fans were not jerked around when the Who Shot JR storyline was going on. Dallas returned when it said it would, a new episode each and every week. Reruns only over the summer. 'nuff said!

CBS Dropped the Bomb: Jericho's Done
If you haven't heard already, Jericho will not be returning for another season. Thanks for all the great comments! For more of my thoughts on this news, go here [which is below]

As If!
Jericho, I Miss You Already
See?! Nothing good can come of killing off Gerald McRaney! Can we all take a moment of silence here? I am completely disappointed in today's announcement that Jericho will not return for another season. I know this show was a gamble. I know Mama Green was getting on some of our nerves. I know a small Kansas town may not appeal to the masses. But… come on!
I accepted the decision to end Gilmore Girls (although, not thrilled with Logan's exit). I welcomed the idea of a future finish line for Lost. I gladly shook off The O.C. when it left us last year. But I can't let this go — at least not this week. In fact, I'm taking out all my frustration on Angel's candy bin. (Is CBS going to pay my gym bill?)
If you're a Jericho fan, you've been watching Skeet Ulrich and Co. cope post-mushroom cloud and after a rocky start, hopefully you'll agree with me when I say the writing and acting only got better as the season went on. We got answers slowly but surely, we had characters that really held substance (Hello, Hawkins!), and we watched a panicked town survive week by week with unexpected additions, unfriendly neighbors and personal relationships torn and mended. OK, so maybe it's no Heroes. No one's walking through walls or slicing people's heads open with their magic finger. There's no smoke monster (although, that's my least favorite part about Lost). But I really thought CBS was onto something when Jericho was put on the map.
Skeet, if you're listening, I'll miss your leadership (and that hooded sweatshirt). Don't go disappearing now….
CBS, you've hurt me today. I will applaud you for giving us another season of How I Met Your Mother, but that will be brief and I will continue moping for as long as it takes.

***BREAKING NEWS***
How's this for the biggest stunner you've heard all day: Sources close to CBS tell me it is extremely likely the Armageddonish drama Jericho--which did not make the CBS '07-'08 schedule a few weeks ago, meaning it was effectilvely canceled—has been revived from the dead and will return for eight episodes for midseason.

Probably to just wrapup storylines, but still, wow.

OH MY GOD!
Sorry had to do that......let me try again.
NO WAY - hey, they do listen to fans huh?
That's awesome. And now we can start hounding them for more than 8 episodes......he he Great-great news. It will take the edge off of not having Lost in the Fall (for this fan anyway).
*Edit* Here's Ausiello's report on the story, from TV Guide, did he call us "crazy" fans? LOL Yep, call me crazy I guess....

Ausiello Report
Exclusive: Jericho on Verge of Renewal
OK, this is nuts!
Multiple sources are telling me that CBS is thisclose to sealing a deal to bring Jericho back for at least eight episodes, possibly at mid-season.
My spies caution that this is in no way official, but it certainly sounds like it could be by day's end. It's now just a matter of signing the actors to new deals and, according to one insider, finding a new soundstage to house the show's sets.
To say this would be a huge victory for crazy TV fans everywhere would be the understatement of the frakkin' millennium.

Yes let's be real honest here - the nuts did it. And if not for that line in the show, this show might have never been saved!
Actual letters - now there's an old fashioned idea. I might try one, for Studio 60 ya know....I will miss that show.
E-mail can be too easily construed as spam. On the hand, hundreds and thousands of letters sent through "snail" won't be so easily mistaken as spam. Especially, if the Post Office is bringing bags of it to your office.

To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of “Jericho” in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment
