Jericho
According to TrekMovie.com Jericho, officially cancelled (again) by CBS, is looking for a new home.
This time, instead of peanuts I’m going to send a nice old-fashioned letter to the SciFi channel.
If you’d like to tell SciFi how happy you’d be if they picked up Jericho you can send a letter to:
SciFi Channel
21st Floor
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112
I’ll be sending a letter on Monday.
Jericho Lives
To the Fans of Jericho:Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year. In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show. But that community needs to grow. It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of “Jericho” in such an extraordinary manner. Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone. You made a difference.
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler President, CBS Entertainment
P.S. Please stop sending us nuts :-)
Excellent, now if more people will watch.
Also, check out the map Brasten created of all those who sent nuts to CBS.
That's a Lot of Nuts 1
The NUTS for Jericho campaign is sending an astounding amount of nuts to CBS Television in New York to protest the cancellation of Jericho. 23,536 pounds of nuts are already on their way. 14 pounds from Courtney and I.
If you’d like to see more Jericho, send some nuts.
Also, as Brasten notes, the RailsConf Charities are an even better thing to give money to.
