Comments on: Aw Nuts: CBS Pulls Plug On Jericho
Final Episode Airs Tuesday, Promises To Tie Up Storyline
- The determining factor isn''t whether or not a loyal fanbase watches the show, it is who amongst the chosen few contributing to the ratings watches the show. Has anyone ever met a Nielsen family?

- I was a tremendous fan of season one. But season two''s writers got a little wild. The violence escalated and the plot twisted, perhaps in a bid to get another season by attracting another sort of viewer. Or perhaps because the writers had exhausted their talent. But season one was a good deviation from the "reality" (better term-"crazy") shows and the graphic violence & spiritistic shows the networks are pursuing to gain more viewers. In all, I will miss the show, especially the "Hawk" character, which shone above the rest.

- I''m a new fan. I saw an episode from season one a few months ago, found the Jericho Season One DVD''s at the video store and got caught up just in time to watch season two as it aired on TV. I really like the show and I''m disappointed by this news. There are so few good shows these days. Why do they always cancel the ones I love?

- I don''t disagree with people''s disappointment over this cancellation -- but keep in mind that the CBS Television Network is no longer presided over by the likes of William S. Paley and Dr. Frank Stanton, people who would balance their drives for top ratings alongside service to the public and programming that brought prestige and excellence to the Network.
Today, broadcast networks are like any other business that has as its #1 priority the maximizing of profits. - Reply to this comment
- This upsets me. It''s a quality show, poorly promoted by the network. Quit treating the public to the usual, dumb reality shows! Everytime you get a quality product, you dump it! How about dumping some of your execs for poor execution? They make excuses and top execs and shareholders buy it ... fire some people!

- Well, as everyone who enjoyed Jericho said above, CBS can''t understand why no one watches network TV. I haven''t, nor will I ever watch the reality GARBAGE shows. Maybe we need a 4th CSI show??? Hopefully someone Smart will pick-up where they dropped the ball. I no longer have any reason to reason to watch CBS!!

- GOOD! This series was a piece of CRAAAAP!
It was only trotted out after the writers went on strike and CBS was left with nothing good except what they had spare episodes of. I guess nobody watched it.
DIE, JERICHO! DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Reply to this comment
