Thanks, EKG, and welcome to the fight. We appreciate everyone who can contribute in any way to spreading the word. We are building this fan base brick by brick, and it takes time. We have 4 more months to deliver results that the bean counters cannot ignore.

I’m new to the party in terms of just having seen Jericho for the first time in the past couple of weeks…a job where I worked at night prevented much television watching…but I happened on it a couple of weeks ago on CW and have been watching since….I’ve also watched all of the episodes on line (and rented the DVD from Blockbuster) because I can’t get enough!

In any case, I went from knowing nothing to a complete conversion and I hope that this show will be given another chance! I’ve started doing what I can (letters and emails) because I think that Jericho is the best show that I have seen in years! Great plan and hopefully it will work!

Thank all the fans for their support. I hope they are enjoying the CW run of Jericho and assure them we’re still working on a continued life of the series.

Happy Holidays to everybody.

Love Carol Barbee

I agree, K6! Their strategy has certainly cost them millions in dollars and millions in audience – who’ve now flocked to cable and other mediums for entertainment. It would seem to me if your business model and mission is to garner viewership they’ve been doing everything possible to insure they fail at their corporate mission! Jericho has a proven audience – obviously faithful – and when promoted properly and given proper air times will draw not only television viewers but internet and DVR viewers as well. This is an excellent business proposal, and they’d have to be blind not to be able to see it. Hat’s off, RS for listing concisely what steps we need to take to make this happen.

Thanks, Red.

I know the economy is in poor shape, but the fact is the television industry is going to continue to spend millions on shows.

A good portion of that is going to be wasted on shows that will only air a short time before they are canceled.

Asking the television industry to bring Jericho back in a Friday Night Lights deal with a baseline that, if done properly, will increase in numbers is a good business argument.

It sure beats what they doing now with throwing-money-at-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks program.
