Title: Jericho, cancelled again
Post by: Universe Prince on March 21, 2008, 11:38:14 PM
The show Jericho has been cancelled again. After next week's episode, there will be no more. Which is a shame, because the show was pretty good and the last few episodes have been really good. Bold moves were made in the story telling that one just doesn't see on television much. Too bad more people couldn't be persuaded to want to watch.

I liked it a lot better than LOST. It was hard to follow Jericho because of the off-again, on-again airings.

Reminds me of the show Firefly (http://www.scifi.com/firefly/), cancelled after only 1 season.  Well done plotlines and great characters, but just could't pull enough of an audience, according to the studios     :-\    I'm gonna miss Jericho almost as much

That "almost" is what saved you. Jericho is good, but not Firefly good. Well, imo anyway. It could have been. A little less big brother Green screwing the barmaid and a little more Jake and Hawkins fighting the bad guys would have gone a long way.

I should re-qualify that while Jericho is good, Firefly was excellent.  6.5 & 9 respecfully on a 0-10 scale

IMHO

Perhaps a thread asking what are the best shows that never were allowed a real opportunity to make it

You guys....











Have made me very unhappy.  Here I was, toodling along in ignorance of this show Jericho, until you started posting about it.  My curiosity piqued, I went last night and watched the first three episodes of season I (online of course).  I really like this show, it's right up there with Lost and House.  Now it's being cancelled.

AAAAARGH

Finally something that isn't a bunch of celebrities dancing, no-talent singers, or losers stranded on an island, and they get rid of it.  Now I remember why I don't watch much TV.

yeah
I saw the last 15min. last night
damn I hope they find a ghost writer to make new  stories like firefly comic
or a bunch of fans get together and continue it online like star trek new voyages.
at least it didn`t degrade in story like seaquest or dark angel
brrr

I like the flag
don`t tread on me

Also, the illegitimate version surfthechannel.net has all of them too.  That's how I've been watching them most of the day, I'm up to episode 11 of season I.  Hopefully I can wrap it up this weekend.
