I came across this article. It's for those who enjoyed the TV Show Jericho. This article gives some insight as to why it was probably canceled early. For those who haven't seen Jericho, it's a must see. Best TV show I've seen.

Jericho was a fantastic program and probably the best thing network television has produced in decades. I believe you can see episodes on fancast.

It was a bit too dramatic and the cheese factor was a little high in some places.

BUT, overall, yes, I really enjoyed watching it. I rented the DVDs from NetFlix and watched the entire 2 seasons in just a couple of days. It would be nice if more episodes, even if direct to DVD, were created.

It was definitely a fun fantasy mind-trip to ponder the possibilities of that scenario playing out.

I read somewhere once that there were some other networks that were considering picking up the series. I hope they do. Yes, it could drift towards the cheesy and the first season was head and shoulders above the second but it was still an awesome show and I believe I saw a very libertarian message in the show.

I was going to buy it on DVD for myself for Christmas, but oddly enough the week after I decided to it was either pulled from the shelves ( tin foil hat! ) or sold out.

I got John Adams instead, though, and have been too busy to watch it. Anyone seen it? :P

It won't come back now. By now the cast and crew are engaged in other projects.

I quit subscribing to SHowtime because they could rarely be bothered to finish their series'. Odyssey 5 and another one - starred Luke Perry, Sean Astin and Theo from Cosby....

Maybe it;s just this episode, but I'm watching episode I of Jericho and it seems to jump from scene to scene without any sort of transition. Kind of like when you get a "last week...this stuff happened" summary...except the entire episode is like this - wtf

so apparently cbs replaced the original pilot with a summary video that summarizes the entire season. There is no longer a season 1 episode 1

guess i gotta start with FALLOUT

John Moore is a former Green Beret that has a radio show on Republic Broadcasting
http://www.republicbroadcasting.org/
and he often covers some survival issues. he recommends watching "Jericho" not so much to get direct survival tips, but to get an idea of some of the human relations that might occur as a result of a SHTF scenario.

I'm rewatching it again now (got it from BitTorrent). Lots of good themes in the series.
