Angus MacGyver (known to his friends as MacGyver or "Mac") who favoured brain over brawn in order to solve desperate problems. MacGyver's main asset is his practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items—along with his ever-present Swiss Army knife and duct tape and the usual coincidence of being locked up in a room full of useful materials. MacGyver is a United States adventure television series, produced in Canada, about the laid-back, extremely resourceful secret agent Angus MacGyver played by Richard Dean Anderson.

Captain Nemo: The Fantastic History of a Dark Genius
"Most readers know Capain Nemo only as the enigmatic protagonist of Jules Verne's classic novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. But what if Nemo was a real man, whose actual life was more fantastic and adventurous than all the fictions it inspired? Here is the epic tale of Andre Nemo, the man behind the myth. The free-spirited and inventive son of a French shipbuilder, Nemo goes to sea as a cabin boy, faces marauding pirates and bloodthirsty sharks, is marooned for years on a mysterious island, battles prehistoric monsters long believed extinct, journeys to the center of the Earth, balloons across Africa, escapes from Arab slavers, discovers the fabled city of Timbuktu, endures a plague of locusts, survives the Charge of the Light Brigade, tends to the wounded with Florence Nightingale, is pressed into service by the ruthless Robert the Conqueror, and, ultimately, wages war on War itself as the captain of his greatest creation: the legendary underwater vessel known as the Nautilus. Captain Nemo is also the story of Nemo's childhood friend, Jules Verne, who would bestow immortality upon the captain's exploits, and of the remarkable woman they both loved to the very end."

Jericho Season Two Premier Date Announced!
Those fanatical, Jericho Television Show fans (yes I'm one of them too) now have a date for their calendars to get excited about. CBS announced their premier date for Jericho: Season 2 for Tuesday, Feb. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). Given the very sparse number of quality shows (read non-reality tv) that will be airing in early 2008, Jericho should have a chance to shine to a whole new set of viewers.
If your wondering why I call the fans fanatical here's a refresher. You may remember that when it became known that Jericho was going to be canceled last Spring, Fans of Jericho sent in piles of peanuts to the network to send them a message.
Anyone who saw the season finale would recognize the peanuts reference to a wartime gesture of defiance. It probably wasn't just the nuts, but CBS finally broke down and renewed the show for Season 2 if only for seven episodes.
If you're one of those who hasn't seen Jericho season 1 yet I suggest you get caught up and watch Season 1 via one of the following methods:
Here's a few ways to get caught up on the first season of Jericho:
OPTION 1: Apple iTunes Click the button to the right to view Jericho on iTunes:
OPTION 2: Amazon Unbox: Click the link to the right to view Jericho on Amazon Unbox: Jericho Season 1
OPTION 3: Amazon DVD Purchase: Click the link to the right to purchase the DVD:Jericho Season 1
OPTION 4: Rent Jericho Season 1 at Netflix add it to your queue now for delivery Tuesday, Oct 2nd.
OPTION 5: Watch the shows streamed on NBC.com - NBC has all episodes available to watch online for free.
Whatever you do, please check out the show. I was skeptical when it first aired and didn't watch it, but later caught up when they aired the reruns this past Summer. Not only was I hooked, my wife and daughter all thoroughly enjoyed the show.

A mushroom cloud looms on Jericho's horizon.
Jericho is an American serial drama produced by CBS Paramount Network Television, with executive producers Jon Turteltaub, Stephen Chbosky and Carol Barbee. The show is broadcast in more than 30 countries.
The first season of the show premiered Wednesday, September 20, 2006, on CBS and went on hiatus after the eleventh episode aired on November 29, 2006. It returned February 21, 2007, after a special recapping the first 11 episodes aired on February 14, 2007,[1] and concluded with a cliffhanger episode on May 9, 2007. Lackluster ratings prompted concern, as the show hit a ratings low in early April.[2] The ratings were down 25% following the nearly three-month hiatus and subsequent return.[3] During its first season, it ranked 48th, with an average of 9.5 million viewers in the United States. Other Wednesday night programs it competed with were Bones, Deal or No Deal and ABC's comedy block.[4]
Though the producers seemed confident that the program would be picked up for a second season,[5] the series was initially cancelled by CBS in May 2007.[6][7][8] However, after a grassroots campaign to revive the series, CBS officially announced on June 6, 2007 that it had purchased seven new episodes of Jericho for broadcast as a midseason replacement.[9] These seven episodes are complete, and will not be affected directly by the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike.[10][11]
CBS announced on December 3, 2007 that Jericho will return for its second season on February 12, 2008.[12] In the early days of January 2008 the first three episodes of the second season leaked on the internet via a DVD screener source.[13]
This is the fourth time the network has resuscitated a cancelled series due to viewer demand. Fans of Cagney and Lacey, Designing Women and The Magnificent Seven all were successful in convincing CBS to bring the shows back after their respective cancellations were announced.[14][15] [16]
The series is being rerun on Universal HD. The complete first season will air in a 22-hour marathon on February 9 at 10 PM Eastern Time.
The show is scheduled to be premiere in Canada on CTV at February 12 at 10 PM Eastern Time.[17]

[edit] Synopsis
The storyline revolves around the residents of Jericho, a small, rural Kansas town, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on twenty-three major cities in the contiguous United States. The series begins with a visible nuclear detonation of unknown origin over nearby Denver, Colorado, and a loss of power and modern communications, effectively isolating Jericho. Later, power is restored to Jericho by what is alluded to as the efforts of the U.S. government, but soon after, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) disables all electronics. Several themes regularly addressed in the show are gathering of information, community identity, public order, limited resources, the value of family, and internal and external threats. The show also features several mysteries involving the backgrounds of major characters, the perpetrators of the attack, and the extent of damage to the United States and its government.
The pivotal character in this story is Jake Green, the 32-year-old son of Mayor Johnston Green, who briefly returns home to visit his family and friends before becoming stranded as a result of the catastrophe. After a somewhat awkward return home and a tense reunion with his father, Jake steps up to become a leader in Jericho, fighting to protect the town and its citizens. As the people of Jericho struggle to survive in a changed world, most remain unaware that one of the newest residents, Robert Hawkins, knows much more about the attacks than he lets on.
[edit] Characters
Main article: List of Jericho characters
Jericho features an ensemble cast of characters, along with a number of minor and recurring roles. The series web site lists eleven cast members.[18] In addition, Alicia Coppola moved from a recurring role to a regular character in February 2007.[19]

[edit] Early development
The series originated as the germ of a feature film idea that co-creators Jonathan Steinberg and Josh Schaer had one day, which was a post-apocalyptic plot line set amidst the trappings of "a little character drama" movie, in the vein of The Day After, Threads, and Testament. However, they soon realized that a two- or two-and-a-half-hour-long film would still not carry the necessary length they felt such a concept required to properly explore the setting and the characters — thus, Schaer and Steinberg decided instead to reconceive the entire project as a television series, producing a treatment out of the original feature screenplay. Director Jon Turteltaub and producer Carol Barbee then entered the picture, the pair having pitched the project to them. Turteltaub soon commissioned writer Stephen Chbosky to pen the pilot teleplay based upon Schaer and Steinberg's series treatment.
One of Chbosky's major contributions to the structure of the series was the introduction of a greater feminine element to the storyline, opining that, "[We] could use some girls, a little kissing, and some laughs." Another significant developmental influence were the four impacts of the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, and the sense of "[being] a spectator to a disaster, while not quite being part of it." Co-creator Steinberg in particular felt that after 9/11, the United States saw some of the "best of people," and after Hurricane Katrina, some of the "worst of people," and sought to include both in the fabric of Jericho, with Katrina providing "lots of inspiration" for the show's overall premise.[21]
[edit] Episodes
Main article: List of Jericho episodes
Clips from the pilot episode became free to watch on Yahoo! TV several weeks before the episode actually aired on television.[22] CBS is still showing all of the Jericho episodes on their Innertube website as of January, 2008,[23] although they cannot be accessed from outside the U.S. CBS repeated the first three episodes on the Saturday nights following their original airings, as did Australia's Network Ten. The first 17 episodes can also be viewed with limited commercial interruptions on Joost.
Each episode's opening title sequence is accompanied by an audio message in Morse code. The messages vary from generic references to cryptic clues, and are always related to the current episode in some way. In addition to these messages, in the second episode, Robert Hawkins received several additional Morse code messages through a radio that he was fixing.
The first season of the show was released as a DVD set on October 2, 2007.[24]
In January, 2008 the first three episodes of season two were leaked, perhaps as a marketing ploy. However, it is common for networks to send screeners of episodes out for review.
[edit] Web-based tie-ins
In an online interview,[citation needed] Carol Barbee announced that there would be a "digital connection" to Jericho through an online companion (at Jericho's official site) called Beyond Jericho. The television program gave the web address for the online companion. Beyond Jericho was to feature the "other survivors" of the nuclear attacks. According to Barbee, the story was intended to be unique to the site, but as the season of Jericho progressed, the online story would dovetail into the episodes themselves. However, the site and "webisode" are now unavailable, having been removed from the CBS website before the second episode of the TV show was broadcast.
The Writers Guild of America is petitioning its members to refuse to work on "webisode" projects, due to a dispute between the WGA and many studios and networks regarding payments and royalties for such projects. In one specific case, NBC Universal has filed a counter-grievance against the WGA with the National Labor Relations Board, arguing that webisodes are already covered under current guild contract[25]Although a settlement was reached between NBC Universal and the WGA — part of which included blocking viewers outside the United States from viewing the webisodes — there are reports that other webisode projects are either on hold, or outright cancelled, out of fears of further disputes and potential strikes by the WGA and other industry collective-bargaining representative organizations.[citation needed]
CBS has since decided to scrap the current webisode storyline, and instead release a new series of "prequel" webisodes named Countdown that take place before the first explosion. Each of these new webisodes appear concurrently with the broadcast of new episodes, and show Robert Hawkins gathering information before the attack. The webisodes corresponding to all Jericho episodes are available for view on the main Jericho website within the USA.
[edit] Beyond Jericho
Main article: Beyond Jericho
The first installment of Beyond Jericho began with an unknown man calling someone on a cell phone, requesting a ransom of $1.2 million for a woman he kidnapped. He then disappears underground through a metal trap door. While climbing down, he hears and feels a bang, but thinks nothing of it. After conversing with an associate about their next plans, he picks the woman up and climbs back up to the roof. When he opens the door, it's surrounded by rubble. The entire city around them has been destroyed. Shortly after, rubble falls through the trap door. With the cell phone (apparently actually the victim's cell phone) dead, and assuming that the man's associate is dead as well in the collapse, they start to climb through the rubble to find out what happened. Nearby, a hand with a surgical glove on emerges from the rubble, as the vignette ends.
[edit] Countdown
Starting on October 26, Beyond Jericho was replaced by Countdown, which documents Robert Hawkins' efforts to learn as much as possible about the effects of nuclear bombs before he moved to Jericho.[26] The webisodes do not feature any of the regular characters, consisting primarily of Hawkins, draped in shadows, watching mini-documentaries.
The mini-documentaries feature expert interviews about the effects of a nuclear attack. They are only minimally connected to each episode's plot. For instance, CBS's episode 8 plot summary reads: "A shadowy military unit bursts into the chamber Hawkins has just vacated. On his computer, they find a video." The video was a short documentary about FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina and their use of paramilitaries. The "shadowy military unit" then patiently waits until the documentary ends to resume its search for Hawkins.
Countdown's sponsor, AT&T, is very heavily promoted in the series using product placement. Nearly all dialog takes place as SMS messages on an AT&T cellular phone, and a full-screen AT&T logo appears in every episode when Hawkins views the expert interviews. This web-based programming is not accessible from outside of the United States.
[edit] Filming locations
Jericho is set in northwestern Kansas but the series is filmed in Van Nuys, California.[27][28] The pilot and all episodes involving New Bern, Kansas, were filmed in Fillmore, California.[27][29] Filming has also occurred in Pasadena, Ca including in front of the city hall. The final episode yet to air was also filmed at Santa Anita race track.
Filming also has taken place in Canada. Use Jericho Season 1 DVD, use commentary on some episodes and they tell you where it has taken place. See "Heart of Winter."
[edit] Cancellation and return
CBS officially announced Jericho's cancellation on May 16, 2007. Several online communities, including the official Jericho forums, launched campaigns in an effort to revive the show. Fans also sent just over 20 tons of nuts to CBS headquarters; this referred to a scene from the season one finale Why We Fight where Jake Green repeats General Anthony McAuliffe's historic phrase "Nuts!" from the Battle of Bastogne.[30] The peanuts and other proceeds from the donations have been donated to charities,[31] including the rebuilding effort in Greensburg, Kansas.[32]
In a response posted on the Jericho forum, CBS president Nina Tassler acknowledged the fan response, stating "we hope to develop a way to provide closure to… the Jericho story."[33] CBS officials acknowledge the campaign was the largest the network had seen using digital means to protest a show cancellation.[34] President and CEO Leslie Moonves acknowledged that he was filtering emails from Jericho fans,[35] while senior vice president of communications Chris Ender said, "You have to tip your hat to their ability to get attention and make some noise."[34][36]
On June 5, 2007, Jericho executive producer Carol Barbee announced that CBS was discussing the possibility of the show's return for an eight-episode mid-season run.[37] A day later, Tassler posted an announcement on the forum stating that seven new episodes of Jericho had been commissioned as a mid-season replacement for the 2007-2008 television season, with the possibility of an extension based on viewership.[9]
On August 2, 2007, a video was released on YouTube showing clips from the first day back at work for the Jericho cast and crew. It shows clips of the first season, explaining the cancellation, followed by brief clips from the second-season premiere, and a "thank you" from the cast and crew to the fans for their efforts to revive the show.[38]
On December 4, 2007, CBS announced that Jericho's second season will premiere on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, in its new timeslot, Tuesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT.[39] The trailers advertising the season were accompanied with morse code, much like the episodes themselves, spelling "SPREAD THE WORD".

Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Once this show gets cancelled again.it will be gone-forever.The actors will move onto other projects,as will producers.Forget the idea of a Star Trek movie to relaunch the series.Those are pipe dream projects.No one ever will the Beauty and the Beast the series movie,nor Space 1999,nor UFO and so on.And those that do come years like Lost in Space or Battlestar Galactica get altered into basically new projects with similar names and character.You draw the line here folks and no more.They cancel a show and we draw back.They cancell another show and we draw back further.Well,no more-the line stops here.
Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Jericho’s a quality show.We need to send a message to the networks,to keep show on,tell who’s boss-not some ace hole,in programming who cancells Star Trek or Star Trek Enterprise or Smallville or whatever,simply because they don’t like it and have some retarded crap,like Kid Nation to put on instead.Show those network turd who boss.Because understand,this like Star Trek is on someones hit list.They got 20 more ace hole reality shows like Kid Nation,Worlds Biggest Loser and Survivor to replace.The only way to keep alive is prove them,it is a monster,they can’t ignor or or no one else can,neither.

Jericho Season Two Premier Date Announced!
Those fanatical, Jericho Television Show fans (yes I'm one of them too) now have a date for their calendars to get excited about. CBS announced their premier date for Jericho: Season 2 for Tuesday, Feb. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). Given the very sparse number of quality shows (read non-reality tv) that will be airing in early 2008, Jericho should have a chance to shine to a whole new set of viewers.
If your wondering why I call the fans fanatical here's a refresher. You may remember that when it became known that Jericho was going to be canceled last Spring, Fans of Jericho sent in piles of peanuts to the network to send them a message.
Anyone who saw the season finale would recognize the peanuts reference to a wartime gesture of defiance. It probably wasn't just the nuts, but CBS finally broke down and renewed the show for Season 2 if only for seven episodes.
If you're one of those who hasn't seen Jericho season 1 yet I suggest you get caught up and watch Season 1 via one of the following methods:
Here's a few ways to get caught up on the first season of Jericho:
OPTION 1: Apple iTunes Click the button to the right to view Jericho on iTunes:
OPTION 2: Amazon Unbox: Click the link to the right to view Jericho on Amazon Unbox: Jericho Season 1
OPTION 3: Amazon DVD Purchase: Click the link to the right to purchase the DVD:Jericho Season 1
OPTION 4: Rent Jericho Season 1 at Netflix add it to your queue now for delivery Tuesday, Oct 2nd.
OPTION 5: Watch the shows streamed on NBC.com - NBC has all episodes available to watch online for free.
Whatever you do, please check out the show. I was skeptical when it first aired and didn't watch it, but later caught up when they aired the reruns this past Summer. Not only was I hooked, my wife and daughter all thoroughly enjoyed the show.

TV.com summary
A mushroom cloud looms on Jericho's horizon.
Jericho is an American serial drama produced by CBS Paramount Network Television, with executive producers Jon Turteltaub, Stephen Chbosky and Carol Barbee. The show is broadcast in more than 30 countries.
The first season of the show premiered Wednesday, September 20, 2006, on CBS and went on hiatus after the eleventh episode aired on November 29, 2006. It returned February 21, 2007, after a special recapping the first 11 episodes aired on February 14, 2007,[1] and concluded with a cliffhanger episode on May 9, 2007. Lackluster ratings prompted concern, as the show hit a ratings low in early April.[2] The ratings were down 25% following the nearly three-month hiatus and subsequent return.[3] During its first season, it ranked 48th, with an average of 9.5 million viewers in the United States. Other Wednesday night programs it competed with were Bones, Deal or No Deal and ABC's comedy block.[4]
Though the producers seemed confident that the program would be picked up for a second season,[5] the series was initially cancelled by CBS in May 2007.[6][7][8] However, after a grassroots campaign to revive the series, CBS officially announced on June 6, 2007 that it had purchased seven new episodes of Jericho for broadcast as a midseason replacement.[9] These seven episodes are complete, and will not be affected directly by the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike.[10][11]
CBS announced on December 3, 2007 that Jericho will return for its second season on February 12, 2008.[12] In the early days of January 2008 the first three episodes of the second season leaked on the internet via a DVD screener source.[13]
This is the fourth time the network has resuscitated a cancelled series due to viewer demand. Fans of Cagney and Lacey, Designing Women and The Magnificent Seven all were successful in convincing CBS to bring the shows back after their respective cancellations were announced.[14][15] [16]
The series is being rerun on Universal HD. The complete first season will air in a 22-hour marathon on February 9 at 10 PM Eastern Time.
The show is scheduled to be premiere in Canada on CTV at February 12 at 10 PM Eastern Time.[17]

[edit] Synopsis
The storyline revolves around the residents of Jericho, a small, rural Kansas town, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on twenty-three major cities in the contiguous United States. The series begins with a visible nuclear detonation of unknown origin over nearby Denver, Colorado, and a loss of power and modern communications, effectively isolating Jericho. Later, power is restored to Jericho by what is alluded to as the efforts of the U.S. government, but soon after, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) disables all electronics. Several themes regularly addressed in the show are gathering of information, community identity, public order, limited resources, the value of family, and internal and external threats. The show also features several mysteries involving the backgrounds of major characters, the perpetrators of the attack, and the extent of damage to the United States and its government.
The pivotal character in this story is Jake Green, the 32-year-old son of Mayor Johnston Green, who briefly returns home to visit his family and friends before becoming stranded as a result of the catastrophe. After a somewhat awkward return home and a tense reunion with his father, Jake steps up to become a leader in Jericho, fighting to protect the town and its citizens. As the people of Jericho struggle to survive in a changed world, most remain unaware that one of the newest residents, Robert Hawkins, knows much more about the attacks than he lets on.
[edit] Characters
Main article: List of Jericho characters
Jericho features an ensemble cast of characters, along with a number of minor and recurring roles. The series web site lists eleven cast members.[18] In addition, Alicia Coppola moved from a recurring role to a regular character in February 2007.[19]

[edit] Early development
The series originated as the germ of a feature film idea that co-creators Jonathan Steinberg and Josh Schaer had one day, which was a post-apocalyptic plot line set amidst the trappings of "a little character drama" movie, in the vein of The Day After, Threads, and Testament. However, they soon realized that a two- or two-and-a-half-hour-long film would still not carry the necessary length they felt such a concept required to properly explore the setting and the characters — thus, Schaer and Steinberg decided instead to reconceive the entire project as a television series, producing a treatment out of the original feature screenplay. Director Jon Turteltaub and producer Carol Barbee then entered the picture, the pair having pitched the project to them. Turteltaub soon commissioned writer Stephen Chbosky to pen the pilot teleplay based upon Schaer and Steinberg's series treatment.
One of Chbosky's major contributions to the structure of the series was the introduction of a greater feminine element to the storyline, opining that, "[We] could use some girls, a little kissing, and some laughs." Another significant developmental influence were the four impacts of the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, and the sense of "[being] a spectator to a disaster, while not quite being part of it." Co-creator Steinberg in particular felt that after 9/11, the United States saw some of the "best of people," and after Hurricane Katrina, some of the "worst of people," and sought to include both in the fabric of Jericho, with Katrina providing "lots of inspiration" for the show's overall premise.[21]
[edit] Episodes
Main article: List of Jericho episodes
Clips from the pilot episode became free to watch on Yahoo! TV several weeks before the episode actually aired on television.[22] CBS is still showing all of the Jericho episodes on their Innertube website as of January, 2008,[23] although they cannot be accessed from outside the U.S. CBS repeated the first three episodes on the Saturday nights following their original airings, as did Australia's Network Ten. The first 17 episodes can also be viewed with limited commercial interruptions on Joost.
Each episode's opening title sequence is accompanied by an audio message in Morse code. The messages vary from generic references to cryptic clues, and are always related to the current episode in some way. In addition to these messages, in the second episode, Robert Hawkins received several additional Morse code messages through a radio that he was fixing.
The first season of the show was released as a DVD set on October 2, 2007.[24]
In January, 2008 the first three episodes of season two were leaked, perhaps as a marketing ploy. However, it is common for networks to send screeners of episodes out for review.
[edit] Web-based tie-ins
In an online interview,[citation needed] Carol Barbee announced that there would be a "digital connection" to Jericho through an online companion (at Jericho's official site) called Beyond Jericho. The television program gave the web address for the online companion. Beyond Jericho was to feature the "other survivors" of the nuclear attacks. According to Barbee, the story was intended to be unique to the site, but as the season of Jericho progressed, the online story would dovetail into the episodes themselves. However, the site and "webisode" are now unavailable, having been removed from the CBS website before the second episode of the TV show was broadcast.
The Writers Guild of America is petitioning its members to refuse to work on "webisode" projects, due to a dispute between the WGA and many studios and networks regarding payments and royalties for such projects. In one specific case, NBC Universal has filed a counter-grievance against the WGA with the National Labor Relations Board, arguing that webisodes are already covered under current guild contract[25]Although a settlement was reached between NBC Universal and the WGA — part of which included blocking viewers outside the United States from viewing the webisodes — there are reports that other webisode projects are either on hold, or outright cancelled, out of fears of further disputes and potential strikes by the WGA and other industry collective-bargaining representative organizations.[citation needed]
CBS has since decided to scrap the current webisode storyline, and instead release a new series of "prequel" webisodes named Countdown that take place before the first explosion. Each of these new webisodes appear concurrently with the broadcast of new episodes, and show Robert Hawkins gathering information before the attack. The webisodes corresponding to all Jericho episodes are available for view on the main Jericho website within the USA.
[edit] Beyond Jericho
Main article: Beyond Jericho
The first installment of Beyond Jericho began with an unknown man calling someone on a cell phone, requesting a ransom of $1.2 million for a woman he kidnapped. He then disappears underground through a metal trap door. While climbing down, he hears and feels a bang, but thinks nothing of it. After conversing with an associate about their next plans, he picks the woman up and climbs back up to the roof. When he opens the door, it's surrounded by rubble. The entire city around them has been destroyed. Shortly after, rubble falls through the trap door. With the cell phone (apparently actually the victim's cell phone) dead, and assuming that the man's associate is dead as well in the collapse, they start to climb through the rubble to find out what happened. Nearby, a hand with a surgical glove on emerges from the rubble, as the vignette ends.
[edit] Countdown
Starting on October 26, Beyond Jericho was replaced by Countdown, which documents Robert Hawkins' efforts to learn as much as possible about the effects of nuclear bombs before he moved to Jericho.[26] The webisodes do not feature any of the regular characters, consisting primarily of Hawkins, draped in shadows, watching mini-documentaries.
The mini-documentaries feature expert interviews about the effects of a nuclear attack. They are only minimally connected to each episode's plot. For instance, CBS's episode 8 plot summary reads: "A shadowy military unit bursts into the chamber Hawkins has just vacated. On his computer, they find a video." The video was a short documentary about FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina and their use of paramilitaries. The "shadowy military unit" then patiently waits until the documentary ends to resume its search for Hawkins.
Countdown's sponsor, AT&T, is very heavily promoted in the series using product placement. Nearly all dialog takes place as SMS messages on an AT&T cellular phone, and a full-screen AT&T logo appears in every episode when Hawkins views the expert interviews. This web-based programming is not accessible from outside of the United States.
[edit] Filming locations
Jericho is set in northwestern Kansas but the series is filmed in Van Nuys, California.[27][28] The pilot and all episodes involving New Bern, Kansas, were filmed in Fillmore, California.[27][29] Filming has also occurred in Pasadena, Ca including in front of the city hall. The final episode yet to air was also filmed at Santa Anita race track.
Filming also has taken place in Canada. Use Jericho Season 1 DVD, use commentary on some episodes and they tell you where it has taken place. See "Heart of Winter."
[edit] Cancellation and return
CBS officially announced Jericho's cancellation on May 16, 2007. Several online communities, including the official Jericho forums, launched campaigns in an effort to revive the show. Fans also sent just over 20 tons of nuts to CBS headquarters; this referred to a scene from the season one finale Why We Fight where Jake Green repeats General Anthony McAuliffe's historic phrase "Nuts!" from the Battle of Bastogne.[30] The peanuts and other proceeds from the donations have been donated to charities,[31] including the rebuilding effort in Greensburg, Kansas.[32]
In a response posted on the Jericho forum, CBS president Nina Tassler acknowledged the fan response, stating "we hope to develop a way to provide closure to… the Jericho story."[33] CBS officials acknowledge the campaign was the largest the network had seen using digital means to protest a show cancellation.[34] President and CEO Leslie Moonves acknowledged that he was filtering emails from Jericho fans,[35] while senior vice president of communications Chris Ender said, "You have to tip your hat to their ability to get attention and make some noise."[34][36]
On June 5, 2007, Jericho executive producer Carol Barbee announced that CBS was discussing the possibility of the show's return for an eight-episode mid-season run.[37] A day later, Tassler posted an announcement on the forum stating that seven new episodes of Jericho had been commissioned as a mid-season replacement for the 2007-2008 television season, with the possibility of an extension based on viewership.[9]
On August 2, 2007, a video was released on YouTube showing clips from the first day back at work for the Jericho cast and crew. It shows clips of the first season, explaining the cancellation, followed by brief clips from the second-season premiere, and a "thank you" from the cast and crew to the fans for their efforts to revive the show.[38]
On December 4, 2007, CBS announced that Jericho's second season will premiere on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, in its new timeslot, Tuesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT.[39] The trailers advertising the season were accompanied with morse code, much like the episodes themselves, spelling "SPREAD THE WORD".

Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Once this show gets cancelled again.it will be gone-forever.The actors will move onto other projects,as will producers.Forget the idea of a Star Trek movie to relaunch the series.Those are pipe dream projects.No one ever will the Beauty and the Beast the series movie,nor Space 1999,nor UFO and so on.And those that do come years like Lost in Space or Battlestar Galactica get altered into basically new projects with similar names and character.You draw the line here folks and no more.They cancel a show and we draw back.They cancell another show and we draw back further.Well,no more-the line stops here.
Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Jericho’s a quality show.We need to send a message to the networks,to keep show on,tell who’s boss-not some ace hole,in programming who cancells Star Trek or Star Trek Enterprise or Smallville or whatever,simply because they don’t like it and have some retarded crap,like Kid Nation to put on instead.Show those network turd who boss.Because understand,this like Star Trek is on someones hit list.They got 20 more ace hole reality shows like Kid Nation,Worlds Biggest Loser and Survivor to replace.The only way to keep alive is prove them,it is a monster,they can’t ignor or or no one else can,neither.

Jericho Season Two Premier Date Announced!
Those fanatical, Jericho Television Show fans (yes I'm one of them too) now have a date for their calendars to get excited about. CBS announced their premier date for Jericho: Season 2 for Tuesday, Feb. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). Given the very sparse number of quality shows (read non-reality tv) that will be airing in early 2008, Jericho should have a chance to shine to a whole new set of viewers.
If your wondering why I call the fans fanatical here's a refresher. You may remember that when it became known that Jericho was going to be canceled last Spring, Fans of Jericho sent in piles of peanuts to the network to send them a message.
Anyone who saw the season finale would recognize the peanuts reference to a wartime gesture of defiance. It probably wasn't just the nuts, but CBS finally broke down and renewed the show for Season 2 if only for seven episodes.
If you're one of those who hasn't seen Jericho season 1 yet I suggest you get caught up and watch Season 1 via one of the following methods:
Here's a few ways to get caught up on the first season of Jericho:
OPTION 1: Apple iTunes Click the button to the right to view Jericho on iTunes:
OPTION 2: Amazon Unbox: Click the link to the right to view Jericho on Amazon Unbox: Jericho Season 1
OPTION 3: Amazon DVD Purchase: Click the link to the right to purchase the DVD:Jericho Season 1
OPTION 4: Rent Jericho Season 1 at Netflix add it to your queue now for delivery Tuesday, Oct 2nd.
OPTION 5: Watch the shows streamed on NBC.com - NBC has all episodes available to watch online for free.
Whatever you do, please check out the show. I was skeptical when it first aired and didn't watch it, but later caught up when they aired the reruns this past Summer. Not only was I hooked, my wife and daughter all thoroughly enjoyed the show.

A mushroom cloud looms on Jericho's horizon.
Jericho is an American serial drama produced by CBS Paramount Network Television, with executive producers Jon Turteltaub, Stephen Chbosky and Carol Barbee. The show is broadcast in more than 30 countries.
The first season of the show premiered Wednesday, September 20, 2006, on CBS and went on hiatus after the eleventh episode aired on November 29, 2006. It returned February 21, 2007, after a special recapping the first 11 episodes aired on February 14, 2007,[1] and concluded with a cliffhanger episode on May 9, 2007. Lackluster ratings prompted concern, as the show hit a ratings low in early April.[2] The ratings were down 25% following the nearly three-month hiatus and subsequent return.[3] During its first season, it ranked 48th, with an average of 9.5 million viewers in the United States. Other Wednesday night programs it competed with were Bones, Deal or No Deal and ABC's comedy block.[4]
Though the producers seemed confident that the program would be picked up for a second season,[5] the series was initially cancelled by CBS in May 2007.[6][7][8] However, after a grassroots campaign to revive the series, CBS officially announced on June 6, 2007 that it had purchased seven new episodes of Jericho for broadcast as a midseason replacement.[9] These seven episodes are complete, and will not be affected directly by the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike.[10][11]
CBS announced on December 3, 2007 that Jericho will return for its second season on February 12, 2008.[12] In the early days of January 2008 the first three episodes of the second season leaked on the internet via a DVD screener source.[13]
This is the fourth time the network has resuscitated a cancelled series due to viewer demand. Fans of Cagney and Lacey, Designing Women and The Magnificent Seven all were successful in convincing CBS to bring the shows back after their respective cancellations were announced.[14][15] [16]
The series is being rerun on Universal HD. The complete first season will air in a 22-hour marathon on February 9 at 10 PM Eastern Time.
The show is scheduled to be premiere in Canada on CTV at February 12 at 10 PM Eastern Time.[17]

[edit] Synopsis
The storyline revolves around the residents of Jericho, a small, rural Kansas town, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on twenty-three major cities in the contiguous United States. The series begins with a visible nuclear detonation of unknown origin over nearby Denver, Colorado, and a loss of power and modern communications, effectively isolating Jericho. Later, power is restored to Jericho by what is alluded to as the efforts of the U.S. government, but soon after, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) disables all electronics. Several themes regularly addressed in the show are gathering of information, community identity, public order, limited resources, the value of family, and internal and external threats. The show also features several mysteries involving the backgrounds of major characters, the perpetrators of the attack, and the extent of damage to the United States and its government.
The pivotal character in this story is Jake Green, the 32-year-old son of Mayor Johnston Green, who briefly returns home to visit his family and friends before becoming stranded as a result of the catastrophe. After a somewhat awkward return home and a tense reunion with his father, Jake steps up to become a leader in Jericho, fighting to protect the town and its citizens. As the people of Jericho struggle to survive in a changed world, most remain unaware that one of the newest residents, Robert Hawkins, knows much more about the attacks than he lets on.
[edit] Characters
Main article: List of Jericho characters
Jericho features an ensemble cast of characters, along with a number of minor and recurring roles. The series web site lists eleven cast members.[18] In addition, Alicia Coppola moved from a recurring role to a regular character in February 2007.[19]
Michael Gaston as Gray Anderson
Alicia Coppola as Mimi Clark
Kenneth Mitchell as Eric Green
Pamela Reed as Gail Green (Season 1 [20])

Gerald McRaney as Johnston Green (Season 1)
Lennie James as Robert Hawkins
Sprague Grayden as Heather Lisinski
Shoshannah Stern as Bonnie Richmond
Brad Beyer as Stanley Richmond
Ashley Scott as Emily Sullivan
Erik Knudsen as Dale Turner
[edit] Early development
The series originated as the germ of a feature film idea that co-creators Jonathan Steinberg and Josh Schaer had one day, which was a post-apocalyptic plot line set amidst the trappings of "a little character drama" movie, in the vein of The Day After, Threads, and Testament. However, they soon realized that a two- or two-and-a-half-hour-long film would still not carry the necessary length they felt such a concept required to properly explore the setting and the characters — thus, Schaer and Steinberg decided instead to reconceive the entire project as a television series, producing a treatment out of the original feature screenplay. Director Jon Turteltaub and producer Carol Barbee then entered the picture, the pair having pitched the project to them. Turteltaub soon commissioned writer Stephen Chbosky to pen the pilot teleplay based upon Schaer and Steinberg's series treatment.
One of Chbosky's major contributions to the structure of the series was the introduction of a greater feminine element to the storyline, opining that, "[We] could use some girls, a little kissing, and some laughs." Another significant developmental influence were the four impacts of the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, and the sense of "[being] a spectator to a disaster, while not quite being part of it." Co-creator Steinberg in particular felt that after 9/11, the United States saw some of the "best of people," and after Hurricane Katrina, some of the "worst of people," and sought to include both in the fabric of Jericho, with Katrina providing "lots of inspiration" for the show's overall premise.[21]
[edit] Episodes
Main article: List of Jericho episodes
Clips from the pilot episode became free to watch on Yahoo! TV several weeks before the episode actually aired on television.[22] CBS is still showing all of the Jericho episodes on their Innertube website as of January, 2008,[23] although they cannot be accessed from outside the U.S. CBS repeated the first three episodes on the Saturday nights following their original airings, as did Australia's Network Ten. The first 17 episodes can also be viewed with limited commercial interruptions on Joost.
Each episode's opening title sequence is accompanied by an audio message in Morse code. The messages vary from generic references to cryptic clues, and are always related to the current episode in some way. In addition to these messages, in the second episode, Robert Hawkins received several additional Morse code messages through a radio that he was fixing.
The first season of the show was released as a DVD set on October 2, 2007.[24]
In January, 2008 the first three episodes of season two were leaked, perhaps as a marketing ploy. However, it is common for networks to send screeners of episodes out for review.
[edit] Web-based tie-ins
In an online interview,[citation needed] Carol Barbee announced that there would be a "digital connection" to Jericho through an online companion (at Jericho's official site) called Beyond Jericho. The television program gave the web address for the online companion. Beyond Jericho was to feature the "other survivors" of the nuclear attacks. According to Barbee, the story was intended to be unique to the site, but as the season of Jericho progressed, the online story would dovetail into the episodes themselves. However, the site and "webisode" are now unavailable, having been removed from the CBS website before the second episode of the TV show was broadcast.
The Writers Guild of America is petitioning its members to refuse to work on "webisode" projects, due to a dispute between the WGA and many studios and networks regarding payments and royalties for such projects. In one specific case, NBC Universal has filed a counter-grievance against the WGA with the National Labor Relations Board, arguing that webisodes are already covered under current guild contract[25]Although a settlement was reached between NBC Universal and the WGA — part of which included blocking viewers outside the United States from viewing the webisodes — there are reports that other webisode projects are either on hold, or outright cancelled, out of fears of further disputes and potential strikes by the WGA and other industry collective-bargaining representative organizations.[citation needed]
CBS has since decided to scrap the current webisode storyline, and instead release a new series of "prequel" webisodes named Countdown that take place before the first explosion. Each of these new webisodes appear concurrently with the broadcast of new episodes, and show Robert Hawkins gathering information before the attack. The webisodes corresponding to all Jericho episodes are available for view on the main Jericho website within the USA.
[edit] Beyond Jericho
Main article: Beyond Jericho
The first installment of Beyond Jericho began with an unknown man calling someone on a cell phone, requesting a ransom of $1.2 million for a woman he kidnapped. He then disappears underground through a metal trap door. While climbing down, he hears and feels a bang, but thinks nothing of it. After conversing with an associate about their next plans, he picks the woman up and climbs back up to the roof. When he opens the door, it's surrounded by rubble. The entire city around them has been destroyed. Shortly after, rubble falls through the trap door. With the cell phone (apparently actually the victim's cell phone) dead, and assuming that the man's associate is dead as well in the collapse, they start to climb through the rubble to find out what happened. Nearby, a hand with a surgical glove on emerges from the rubble, as the vignette ends.
[edit] Countdown
Starting on October 26, Beyond Jericho was replaced by Countdown, which documents Robert Hawkins' efforts to learn as much as possible about the effects of nuclear bombs before he moved to Jericho.[26] The webisodes do not feature any of the regular characters, consisting primarily of Hawkins, draped in shadows, watching mini-documentaries.
The mini-documentaries feature expert interviews about the effects of a nuclear attack. They are only minimally connected to each episode's plot. For instance, CBS's episode 8 plot summary reads: "A shadowy military unit bursts into the chamber Hawkins has just vacated. On his computer, they find a video." The video was a short documentary about FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina and their use of paramilitaries. The "shadowy military unit" then patiently waits until the documentary ends to resume its search for Hawkins.
Countdown's sponsor, AT&T, is very heavily promoted in the series using product placement. Nearly all dialog takes place as SMS messages on an AT&T cellular phone, and a full-screen AT&T logo appears in every episode when Hawkins views the expert interviews. This web-based programming is not accessible from outside of the United States.
[edit] Filming locations
Jericho is set in northwestern Kansas but the series is filmed in Van Nuys, California.[27][28] The pilot and all episodes involving New Bern, Kansas, were filmed in Fillmore, California.[27][29] Filming has also occurred in Pasadena, Ca including in front of the city hall. The final episode yet to air was also filmed at Santa Anita race track.
Filming also has taken place in Canada. Use Jericho Season 1 DVD, use commentary on some episodes and they tell you where it has taken place. See "Heart of Winter."
[edit] Cancellation and return
CBS officially announced Jericho's cancellation on May 16, 2007. Several online communities, including the official Jericho forums, launched campaigns in an effort to revive the show. Fans also sent just over 20 tons of nuts to CBS headquarters; this referred to a scene from the season one finale Why We Fight where Jake Green repeats General Anthony McAuliffe's historic phrase "Nuts!" from the Battle of Bastogne.[30] The peanuts and other proceeds from the donations have been donated to charities,[31] including the rebuilding effort in Greensburg, Kansas.[32]
In a response posted on the Jericho forum, CBS president Nina Tassler acknowledged the fan response, stating "we hope to develop a way to provide closure to… the Jericho story."[33] CBS officials acknowledge the campaign was the largest the network had seen using digital means to protest a show cancellation.[34] President and CEO Leslie Moonves acknowledged that he was filtering emails from Jericho fans,[35] while senior vice president of communications Chris Ender said, "You have to tip your hat to their ability to get attention and make some noise."[34][36]
On June 5, 2007, Jericho executive producer Carol Barbee announced that CBS was discussing the possibility of the show's return for an eight-episode mid-season run.[37] A day later, Tassler posted an announcement on the forum stating that seven new episodes of Jericho had been commissioned as a mid-season replacement for the 2007-2008 television season, with the possibility of an extension based on viewership.[9]
On August 2, 2007, a video was released on YouTube showing clips from the first day back at work for the Jericho cast and crew. It shows clips of the first season, explaining the cancellation, followed by brief clips from the second-season premiere, and a "thank you" from the cast and crew to the fans for their efforts to revive the show.[38]
On December 4, 2007, CBS announced that Jericho's second season will premiere on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, in its new timeslot, Tuesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT.[39] The trailers advertising the season were accompanied with morse code, much like the episodes themselves, spelling "SPREAD THE WORD".

Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Once this show gets cancelled again.it will be gone-forever.The actors will move onto other projects,as will producers.Forget the idea of a Star Trek movie to relaunch the series.Those are pipe dream projects.No one ever will the Beauty and the Beast the series movie,nor Space 1999,nor UFO and so on.And those that do come years like Lost in Space or Battlestar Galactica get altered into basically new projects with similar names and character.You draw the line here folks and no more.They cancel a show and we draw back.They cancell another show and we draw back further.Well,no more-the line stops here.
Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Jericho’s a quality show.We need to send a message to the networks,to keep show on,tell who’s boss-not some ace hole,in programming who cancells Star Trek or Star Trek Enterprise or Smallville or whatever,simply because they don’t like it and have some retarded crap,like Kid Nation to put on instead.Show those network turd who boss.Because understand,this like Star Trek is on someones hit list.They got 20 more ace hole reality shows like Kid Nation,Worlds Biggest Loser and Survivor to replace.The only way to keep alive is prove them,it is a monster,they can’t ignor or or no one else can,neither.

Jericho Season Two Premier Date Announced!
Those fanatical, Jericho Television Show fans (yes I'm one of them too) now have a date for their calendars to get excited about. CBS announced their premier date for Jericho: Season 2 for Tuesday, Feb. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). Given the very sparse number of quality shows (read non-reality tv) that will be airing in early 2008, Jericho should have a chance to shine to a whole new set of viewers.
If your wondering why I call the fans fanatical here's a refresher. You may remember that when it became known that Jericho was going to be canceled last Spring, Fans of Jericho sent in piles of peanuts to the network to send them a message.
Anyone who saw the season finale would recognize the peanuts reference to a wartime gesture of defiance. It probably wasn't just the nuts, but CBS finally broke down and renewed the show for Season 2 if only for seven episodes.
If you're one of those who hasn't seen Jericho season 1 yet I suggest you get caught up and watch Season 1 via one of the following methods:
Here's a few ways to get caught up on the first season of Jericho:
OPTION 1: Apple iTunes Click the button to the right to view Jericho on iTunes:
OPTION 2: Amazon Unbox: Click the link to the right to view Jericho on Amazon Unbox: Jericho Season 1
OPTION 3: Amazon DVD Purchase: Click the link to the right to purchase the DVD:Jericho Season 1
OPTION 4: Rent Jericho Season 1 at Netflix add it to your queue now for delivery Tuesday, Oct 2nd.
OPTION 5: Watch the shows streamed on NBC.com - NBC has all episodes available to watch online for free.
Whatever you do, please check out the show. I was skeptical when it first aired and didn't watch it, but later caught up when they aired the reruns this past Summer. Not only was I hooked, my wife and daughter all thoroughly enjoyed the show.

TV.com summary
A mushroom cloud looms on Jericho's horizon.
Jericho is an American serial drama produced by CBS Paramount Network Television, with executive producers Jon Turteltaub, Stephen Chbosky and Carol Barbee. The show is broadcast in more than 30 countries.
The first season of the show premiered Wednesday, September 20, 2006, on CBS and went on hiatus after the eleventh episode aired on November 29, 2006. It returned February 21, 2007, after a special recapping the first 11 episodes aired on February 14, 2007,[1] and concluded with a cliffhanger episode on May 9, 2007. Lackluster ratings prompted concern, as the show hit a ratings low in early April.[2] The ratings were down 25% following the nearly three-month hiatus and subsequent return.[3] During its first season, it ranked 48th, with an average of 9.5 million viewers in the United States. Other Wednesday night programs it competed with were Bones, Deal or No Deal and ABC's comedy block.[4]
Though the producers seemed confident that the program would be picked up for a second season,[5] the series was initially cancelled by CBS in May 2007.[6][7][8] However, after a grassroots campaign to revive the series, CBS officially announced on June 6, 2007 that it had purchased seven new episodes of Jericho for broadcast as a midseason replacement.[9] These seven episodes are complete, and will not be affected directly by the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike.[10][11]
CBS announced on December 3, 2007 that Jericho will return for its second season on February 12, 2008.[12] In the early days of January 2008 the first three episodes of the second season leaked on the internet via a DVD screener source.[13]
This is the fourth time the network has resuscitated a cancelled series due to viewer demand. Fans of Cagney and Lacey, Designing Women and The Magnificent Seven all were successful in convincing CBS to bring the shows back after their respective cancellations were announced.[14][15] [16]
The series is being rerun on Universal HD. The complete first season will air in a 22-hour marathon on February 9 at 10 PM Eastern Time.
The show is scheduled to be premiere in Canada on CTV at February 12 at 10 PM Eastern Time.[17]

[edit] Synopsis
The storyline revolves around the residents of Jericho, a small, rural Kansas town, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on twenty-three major cities in the contiguous United States. The series begins with a visible nuclear detonation of unknown origin over nearby Denver, Colorado, and a loss of power and modern communications, effectively isolating Jericho. Later, power is restored to Jericho by what is alluded to as the efforts of the U.S. government, but soon after, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) disables all electronics. Several themes regularly addressed in the show are gathering of information, community identity, public order, limited resources, the value of family, and internal and external threats. The show also features several mysteries involving the backgrounds of major characters, the perpetrators of the attack, and the extent of damage to the United States and its government.
The pivotal character in this story is Jake Green, the 32-year-old son of Mayor Johnston Green, who briefly returns home to visit his family and friends before becoming stranded as a result of the catastrophe. After a somewhat awkward return home and a tense reunion with his father, Jake steps up to become a leader in Jericho, fighting to protect the town and its citizens. As the people of Jericho struggle to survive in a changed world, most remain unaware that one of the newest residents, Robert Hawkins, knows much more about the attacks than he lets on.
[edit] Characters
Main article: List of Jericho characters
Jericho features an ensemble cast of characters, along with a number of minor and recurring roles. The series web site lists eleven cast members.[18] In addition, Alicia Coppola moved from a recurring role to a regular character in February 2007.[19]
Michael Gaston as Gray Anderson
Alicia Coppola as Mimi Clark
Kenneth Mitchell as Eric Green
Pamela Reed as Gail Green (Season 1 [20])

[edit] Early development
The series originated as the germ of a feature film idea that co-creators Jonathan Steinberg and Josh Schaer had one day, which was a post-apocalyptic plot line set amidst the trappings of "a little character drama" movie, in the vein of The Day After, Threads, and Testament. However, they soon realized that a two- or two-and-a-half-hour-long film would still not carry the necessary length they felt such a concept required to properly explore the setting and the characters — thus, Schaer and Steinberg decided instead to reconceive the entire project as a television series, producing a treatment out of the original feature screenplay. Director Jon Turteltaub and producer Carol Barbee then entered the picture, the pair having pitched the project to them. Turteltaub soon commissioned writer Stephen Chbosky to pen the pilot teleplay based upon Schaer and Steinberg's series treatment.
One of Chbosky's major contributions to the structure of the series was the introduction of a greater feminine element to the storyline, opining that, "[We] could use some girls, a little kissing, and some laughs." Another significant developmental influence were the four impacts of the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, and the sense of "[being] a spectator to a disaster, while not quite being part of it." Co-creator Steinberg in particular felt that after 9/11, the United States saw some of the "best of people," and after Hurricane Katrina, some of the "worst of people," and sought to include both in the fabric of Jericho, with Katrina providing "lots of inspiration" for the show's overall premise.[21]
[edit] Episodes
Main article: List of Jericho episodes
Clips from the pilot episode became free to watch on Yahoo! TV several weeks before the episode actually aired on television.[22] CBS is still showing all of the Jericho episodes on their Innertube website as of January, 2008,[23] although they cannot be accessed from outside the U.S. CBS repeated the first three episodes on the Saturday nights following their original airings, as did Australia's Network Ten. The first 17 episodes can also be viewed with limited commercial interruptions on Joost.
Each episode's opening title sequence is accompanied by an audio message in Morse code. The messages vary from generic references to cryptic clues, and are always related to the current episode in some way. In addition to these messages, in the second episode, Robert Hawkins received several additional Morse code messages through a radio that he was fixing.
The first season of the show was released as a DVD set on October 2, 2007.[24]
In January, 2008 the first three episodes of season two were leaked, perhaps as a marketing ploy. However, it is common for networks to send screeners of episodes out for review.
[edit] Web-based tie-ins
In an online interview,[citation needed] Carol Barbee announced that there would be a "digital connection" to Jericho through an online companion (at Jericho's official site) called Beyond Jericho. The television program gave the web address for the online companion. Beyond Jericho was to feature the "other survivors" of the nuclear attacks. According to Barbee, the story was intended to be unique to the site, but as the season of Jericho progressed, the online story would dovetail into the episodes themselves. However, the site and "webisode" are now unavailable, having been removed from the CBS website before the second episode of the TV show was broadcast.
The Writers Guild of America is petitioning its members to refuse to work on "webisode" projects, due to a dispute between the WGA and many studios and networks regarding payments and royalties for such projects. In one specific case, NBC Universal has filed a counter-grievance against the WGA with the National Labor Relations Board, arguing that webisodes are already covered under current guild contract[25]Although a settlement was reached between NBC Universal and the WGA — part of which included blocking viewers outside the United States from viewing the webisodes — there are reports that other webisode projects are either on hold, or outright cancelled, out of fears of further disputes and potential strikes by the WGA and other industry collective-bargaining representative organizations.[citation needed]
CBS has since decided to scrap the current webisode storyline, and instead release a new series of "prequel" webisodes named Countdown that take place before the first explosion. Each of these new webisodes appear concurrently with the broadcast of new episodes, and show Robert Hawkins gathering information before the attack. The webisodes corresponding to all Jericho episodes are available for view on the main Jericho website within the USA.
[edit] Beyond Jericho
Main article: Beyond Jericho
The first installment of Beyond Jericho began with an unknown man calling someone on a cell phone, requesting a ransom of $1.2 million for a woman he kidnapped. He then disappears underground through a metal trap door. While climbing down, he hears and feels a bang, but thinks nothing of it. After conversing with an associate about their next plans, he picks the woman up and climbs back up to the roof. When he opens the door, it's surrounded by rubble. The entire city around them has been destroyed. Shortly after, rubble falls through the trap door. With the cell phone (apparently actually the victim's cell phone) dead, and assuming that the man's associate is dead as well in the collapse, they start to climb through the rubble to find out what happened. Nearby, a hand with a surgical glove on emerges from the rubble, as the vignette ends.
[edit] Countdown
Starting on October 26, Beyond Jericho was replaced by Countdown, which documents Robert Hawkins' efforts to learn as much as possible about the effects of nuclear bombs before he moved to Jericho.[26] The webisodes do not feature any of the regular characters, consisting primarily of Hawkins, draped in shadows, watching mini-documentaries.
The mini-documentaries feature expert interviews about the effects of a nuclear attack. They are only minimally connected to each episode's plot. For instance, CBS's episode 8 plot summary reads: "A shadowy military unit bursts into the chamber Hawkins has just vacated. On his computer, they find a video." The video was a short documentary about FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina and their use of paramilitaries. The "shadowy military unit" then patiently waits until the documentary ends to resume its search for Hawkins.
Countdown's sponsor, AT&T, is very heavily promoted in the series using product placement. Nearly all dialog takes place as SMS messages on an AT&T cellular phone, and a full-screen AT&T logo appears in every episode when Hawkins views the expert interviews. This web-based programming is not accessible from outside of the United States.
[edit] Filming locations
Jericho is set in northwestern Kansas but the series is filmed in Van Nuys, California.[27][28] The pilot and all episodes involving New Bern, Kansas, were filmed in Fillmore, California.[27][29] Filming has also occurred in Pasadena, Ca including in front of the city hall. The final episode yet to air was also filmed at Santa Anita race track.
Filming also has taken place in Canada. Use Jericho Season 1 DVD, use commentary on some episodes and they tell you where it has taken place. See "Heart of Winter."
[edit] Cancellation and return
CBS officially announced Jericho's cancellation on May 16, 2007. Several online communities, including the official Jericho forums, launched campaigns in an effort to revive the show. Fans also sent just over 20 tons of nuts to CBS headquarters; this referred to a scene from the season one finale Why We Fight where Jake Green repeats General Anthony McAuliffe's historic phrase "Nuts!" from the Battle of Bastogne.[30] The peanuts and other proceeds from the donations have been donated to charities,[31] including the rebuilding effort in Greensburg, Kansas.[32]
In a response posted on the Jericho forum, CBS president Nina Tassler acknowledged the fan response, stating "we hope to develop a way to provide closure to… the Jericho story."[33] CBS officials acknowledge the campaign was the largest the network had seen using digital means to protest a show cancellation.[34] President and CEO Leslie Moonves acknowledged that he was filtering emails from Jericho fans,[35] while senior vice president of communications Chris Ender said, "You have to tip your hat to their ability to get attention and make some noise."[34][36]
On June 5, 2007, Jericho executive producer Carol Barbee announced that CBS was discussing the possibility of the show's return for an eight-episode mid-season run.[37] A day later, Tassler posted an announcement on the forum stating that seven new episodes of Jericho had been commissioned as a mid-season replacement for the 2007-2008 television season, with the possibility of an extension based on viewership.[9]
On August 2, 2007, a video was released on YouTube showing clips from the first day back at work for the Jericho cast and crew. It shows clips of the first season, explaining the cancellation, followed by brief clips from the second-season premiere, and a "thank you" from the cast and crew to the fans for their efforts to revive the show.[38]
On December 4, 2007, CBS announced that Jericho's second season will premiere on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, in its new timeslot, Tuesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT.[39] The trailers advertising the season were accompanied with morse code, much like the episodes themselves, spelling "SPREAD THE WORD".

Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Once this show gets cancelled again.it will be gone-forever.The actors will move onto other projects,as will producers.Forget the idea of a Star Trek movie to relaunch the series.Those are pipe dream projects.No one ever will the Beauty and the Beast the series movie,nor Space 1999,nor UFO and so on.And those that do come years like Lost in Space or Battlestar Galactica get altered into basically new projects with similar names and character.You draw the line here folks and no more.They cancel a show and we draw back.They cancell another show and we draw back further.Well,no more-the line stops here.
Keep Jericho alive-not crap like Kid Nation-fIGHT THE ASSHOLE NETWORK,who cancell good tv like Star Trek.Jericho’s a quality show.We need to send a message to the networks,to keep show on,tell who’s boss-not some ace hole,in programming who cancells Star Trek or Star Trek Enterprise or Smallville or whatever,simply because they don’t like it and have some retarded crap,like Kid Nation to put on instead.Show those network turd who boss.Because understand,this like Star Trek is on someones hit list.They got 20 more ace hole reality shows like Kid Nation,Worlds Biggest Loser and Survivor to replace.The only way to keep alive is prove them,it is a monster,they can’t ignor or or no one else can,neither.

That is great. Jericho will definitely get a whole new audience, an audience that is sick of fake "reality" shows.
I can't wait for the new season.
