I can't believe we have to fight so hard to save such a brilliant show. Rhian I think Sci-Fi would be great for Jericho, but as long as the UK can get it I’ll watch it anywhere!

I can’t believe we have to fight so hard to save such a brilliant show.

Sci-Fi has not seemed to show much interest in picking up Jericho for a third season, and a network that does not want to take Jericho head on does not seem like a network it will thrive on for very long before we will be fighting to save it again. FOX is intriguing, but also scares me as I feel they have a bit of an itchy trigger finger. Sure, Prison Break and 24 have done great. But they have also had the fan support. Two of my favorite shows on FOX didn't fare quite as well. . .Point Pleasant in 2004 and Drive in 2007. Point Pleasant was cancelled after only 7 shows, despite modest ratings and a slightly crazy fan base (sound familiar?). Drive was a great show that was cancelled (with a ginormous cliff-hanger no less) after only 3 epidsodes. I am not sure how the ratings were for that show, but I do know that over half of the 55 people I worked with were already hooked on it. Personally I do not care what network picks the show up. I will be ecstatic for a 3rd season, even if I have to go out of my way to get a network that I don't already have. My ideal scenario though would be something like seeing a rival network to CBS like NBC pick it up on a whim and having it air in front of a hit show like Heroes. . . But that's just me. . .

At this point, I don't really care....as long as it gets back on the air. I liked prison break and 24 on fox and they seem to promote their shows well. I think the fans will follow just about anywhere. I think sci fi or fox would be a good choice. At this point, I don’t really care….as long as it gets back on the air.

They invest in their shows and give them time to grow. I also believe that all people have access to FOX. I would say FOX. They invest in their shows and give them time to grow.

It really doesn't matter to me...I can dvr it if I have to. The only time I wouldn't be able to watch it live is if it is on during the day while I am at work or if it is on Sunday when I am in church. Either way, I can watch it online or dvr'd. I will go out of my way to watch Jericho...I always have and always will.

If a cost-sharing arrangement is necessary to keep the show as we know and love it (same cast, writers, producers, etc.), I'd like to see a Comcast or DirecTV pairing with NBC or Hallmark Channel.

Not only that, but we're also interested in apocalyptic or endtimes philosophy.

And NBC's fall lineup has a great deal of fantasy/SF on it. Anyone want to place bets on how long Knight Rider lasts?

There would need to be the ability for on-line streaming for our international Jericho fans or for those who are not able to get it via traditional ways. Most important, I want CBS Paramount to find a home for Jericho that knows and appreciates what they are getting and will work hard to keep Jericho alive.
