Starting November 30, The CW is the home for JERICHO. We JERICHO fans must continue to kindly ask The CW for a message board community for our favorite show.

A TV series that was written off twice is on its way back to TV on The CW. There are no promises as to what will happen when the JERICHO episodes are done airing. But as we all know by now..

With JERICHO, the impossible IS possible !!!

Fans, spread the word far and wide and please do so positively and politely.

JERICHO is back on TV on The CW !!

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:16:00 -0500

Once more Jericho is returning to network television !!!

This time The CW has called in Jericho to help with its Sunday lineup.

With the message boards down on the Jericho/CBS site, its up to the fans to spread the word far and wide !!!

The announcement was made today by CW Chief Operating Officer John Maatta:

November 20, 2008

Dear Affiliate:

We are now two and a half months into our new season and some terrific progress has been made.

Our strategy this year was to focus on Monday-Friday, particularly the early part of the week. Clearly that strategy has worked, as we are up in our key demographic of women 18-34 by 150% Monday and 41% on Tuesday. “Top Model” continues to shine Wednesdays, winning its time period on a regular basis, while “Smallville” and “Supernatural” continue to keep us in the game on Thursday versus tough competition. Additionally, we have improved our 18-49 demos by 78% Monday and 8% Monday-Thursday.

In the process, we are building a distinct and powerful brand of young-female skewing programming with new shows like “Gossip Girl” and “90210” complementing veteran hits “One Tree Hill” and “Top Model.”

As you know, to focus our efforts on the earlier part of the week, we entered into a time buy agreement with Media Rights Capital to program Sunday night. While this move has clearly paid dividends for the overall schedule, the results on Sunday night have been below expectations. The MRC shows are simply not working.

To that end, we have made a business and programming decision to protect our network and your local interests on Sunday for the remainder of the season.

The programs from Media Rights Capital will have their final airing this Sunday, November 23, 2008. Effective November 30, 2008, The CW will resume programming Sunday nights.

Our plan is to program Sunday with distinctive, first-rate programming that can quickly stabilize the night. We will work with you to promote and market this new night, with a lineup that will include quality scripted series and contemporary theatrical titles. Here is the lineup:

5:00 – 6:00 p.m.: EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS/THE GAME
6:00 – 7:00 p.m.: THE DREW CAREY SHOW
7:00 – 8:00 p.m.: JERICHO
8:00 – 10:00 p.m.: MOVIE

Our Affiliate Relations and Affiliate Marketing teams will be in immediate touch with your personnel regarding this important schedule change.

We will continue to work diligently and find success via the best means possible and move quickly to shore up troubled timeslots. We will continue to invest in new programming that will evolve into valued primetime assets for you, our affiliates, and our parent companies, CBS and Warner Bros.

We appreciate the partnership we have with you, our affiliates, and we will continue to work closely to take our success to the next level.

Sincerely,

John D. Maatta

Enjoy this bit of good news right in time for the Holiday season !!!

Social Viewing Rooms

What a great way to watch episodes of our favorite series together and at the same time !!

CBS is really stepping up with its newest feature !!

Its so easy to go into a social viewing room and its fun !!

Of course, I saw an episode of Jericho and then I went to see an episode of How I Met Your Mother and I was able to interact with others who were watching the episodes at the same time, its great !!!

The CBS Social Viewing Rooms is now THE place to watch episodes of our favorite shows with fellow fans and at the same time, you can chat during the episode and share thoughts etc..

Thank you CBS !!!

A new season dawns...

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:06:16 -0400

As we continue to mourn the loss (temporarily) of JERICHO, the networks are presenting us with an array of potentially great shows !!

Eleventh Hour looks good for CBS, Fringe is fantastic on FOX, 90210 has potential on The CW and more..

Nothing will compare to Jericho, but if you look hard enough, I am sure you will find a good scripted show for you to enjoy this coming season.

Of course the Jericho team is on shows, Loomer is working on Raising The Bar on TNT, Sprague Grayden is on Sons of Anarchy on FX and will be seen on 24 on FOX, Claire Carey will be seen on the series Crash on Starz, Michael Gaston will be on a pilot called Last of the Ninth for premium cable, Junction is working on Harper’s Island mid season on CBS and dont forget Carol Barbee, she has been hard at work on Swingtown and I am sure she is going to have another great series for us to enjoy soon !!!

Lets create a spot on the Jericho board, where we can put notices of our Jericho friends and their upcoming works.

There is a little radio show that talks prime time TV for the most part. We are on weekdays at 3pm PT, its called TV Talk. Join us and talk about your returning shows and your new favorites.

Save Jericho..again !!

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 02:52:00 -0400

The pressure has been building since the last episode of the second season of Jericho, the pressure is to find a new home for Jericho.

Fans have called CBS/Paramount, Comcast, Scifi etc..

Fans have sent letters and postcards in as well…

Fans have raised money for ads in the Hollywood trade papers once more..

Fans have raised money for an enormous billboard in the shadows of the broadcast and cable network headquarters and studios…

Fans have even raised the money and created a TV ad that is bombarding the area around Hollywood…

The never say die attitude is alive and well in the Jericho fandom !!

Who will see the passion of the Jericho fans and decide, lets do it again??

The show that changed TV, is still very much alive !!!

Find Jericho A New Home Billboard is UP !!!

Tue, 27 May 2008 17:58:00 -0400

Looming larger than life over the Studio City Mobil gas station,

located at 11001 Venturaa Blvd Studio City, CA 91604.

The sign went up earlier today.

We hope to get some pictures and a video up soon.

A great effort by all of us, again working together to pull off the impossible.

I am sure other shows producers are sitting back and saying "how do we get fans

like Jericho's?"

To the ones that worked out the logistics and to all of us who donated what we could,

WE DID IT !!!

Lets hope the billboard triggers some good news from CBS/Paramount and

Nancy Tellem soon!!

The JERICHO effect and scripted TV

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 19:54:00 -0400

With the news on Friday, it may be hard to look beyond the sadness and anger.

But I urge you to while fighting for more Jericho, to look beyond those feelings.

The Jericho effect has forever changed TV.

The internet, iTUNES and etc are now elements that the networks and cable networks will have to take into account at a higher level than ever before when figuring out a TV series popularity.

Jericho showed all of TV that if you have a compelling show with a unique web presence, the viewers will come.

Dan and Karim said on my radio show Friday night, that the new shows they are working on will all have a similar web presence and interactivity with the viewers, that Jericho has. I would say every new TV show will follow the Jericho model.

Returning shows like Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles, undoubtedly will ramp up its web presence and fan interactions.

Also, we must not shy away from scripted TV, either on the networks or on cable. As long as the balance between scripted and reality is still tilting towards scripted TV, the fight is still on.

Great minds are creating some terrific new shows for us to fall in love with. It is incumbant upon all of us to support scripted TV. Watch the new shows in the fall, dont be afraid to fall in love with a new show. Support your new favorites and get active on their websites and forums.

Every TV show on the air risks getting cancelled, its just the way things are with TV.

We must hang in there and support these new shows coming on in the summer and fall as well as our returning favorites.

The minute we give up on scripted tv, we and all of TV will be the losers.

I for one do not want to look at TV in 5 years and see a wasteland of reality shows.

So while the fight for Jericho rages on, lets continue to fight for good quality scripted TV. Keep your eyes out for familiar names involved with new shows and give them a chance, I know I will.

We owe it to everyone on Jericho to stay in the fight for good scripted tv series.

Thank you

Why We Fight...for more JERICHO ?

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:35:46 -0400

We fight on for a third season of Jericho, because its the best show on TV !!

The story is so engaging that you cannot help but to be drawn in..

Of course the characters have all been brought to life by a great cast in such a way, that we truly down to our core believe in these characters and hope for the best for them.

The music is so complimentary to the show..that too pulls you in even more.

And the way the show is filmed, it is of theatrical quality.

To me each episode of Jericho is a movie of the week.. each episode is like a chapter in a book. The first book was great, this abridged second book is as good if not better than the first book and I for one cannot wait for the third book.

Jericho is a show that is worth fighting for..for the cast, the crew, the producers, support staff and for us the fans. We are all in this fight together.

Win or lose, TV will never be the same because of Jericho and Jericho will live on forever in our hearts and minds forever…

South by Southwest and JERICHO ???

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:31:00 -0400

Very true…

I am writing this, from the press room at the South By Southwest Interactive, Film and Music Expo in Austin Texas.

You would think that Jericho would be as far from peoples minds here as humanly possible..

However, when I walked into the BlogHaus the first day..I bumped into the Chief blogger for Dell and he knew me from the Jericho campaign..

And during our conversation another person, asked me if I was who I said I was..he has prepared a presentation for MTV about social media and its effect on “old” media. Guess what the case study is?? JERICHO and the nuts campaign of course.

Images of the old CBS/Jericho site, the message board and a picture and profile of yours truly.

And later, when I walked back into the BlogHaus, the bloggers clapped and gave me a standing ovation..humbling but nice as the same time.

And walking through the hall way this morning, I heard last night’s episode playing on someones laptop computer..

So again, let your heart not be troubled. There are more fans of Jericho than anyone realizes..

Hopefully CBS or another network sees or will see this and keep Jericho on our TV screens in a couple more seasons to come..

Let Your Heart Not Be Troubled..enjoy Jericho !!

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 20:28:56 -0500

We have to stop agonizing over the ratings..we are doing all we can..

Viewers are watching…on TV, online, on DVR and on TIVO.

All we can do is keep spreading the good word and hope for the best..The ball is entirely in CBS’ court..

I truly believe that Jericho is such a quality TV show that I would hope another network will see that and pick up Jericho..if CBS does the unthinkable…again

If not, I am happy with the battle we won and the 7 episodes..

These characters and that town that was brought to life by the cast and crew of Jericho, will live on forever in my heart no matter what happens to the TV series..

Enjoy the coming episodes and say to the world..YES I WATCH JERICHO AND I LOVE IT !!!!

“JERICHO” and Big Brother ADDS MILLIONS OF VIEWERS ACROSS MULTIPLE PLATFORMS

On-Air + Online + On-DVR = Many More Eyeballs and Double Digit Percentage Demo Increases

“Jericho” and “Big Brother” Viewer Engagement Across Multi-Platforms Is Far Greater Than Initial Same Day Ratings Indicate

On-air, online and on-DVR viewing are resulting in many more eyeballs for CBS series JERICHO and BIG BROTHER, according to Nielsen Live Plus 7-Day ratings and new data from CBS Interactive Research.

JERICHO:

According to Nielsen Live Plus 7-Day ratings, JERICHO’s second season premiere (Feb. 12) ratings increased by +15% in adults 18-49 (3.0/07 from 2.6/07), +17% in adults 25-54 (3.5/08 from 3.0/07) and by more than one million viewers (8.14m from 7.13m, +14%) compared to its live plus same day ratings.

WonderCon and Jericho

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:25:00 -0500

Last Sunday, I was lucky enough to be able to make it to San Francisco for the Jericho screening and Q and A afterwards…

Flight was a nightmare getting there, it was raining in LA when my flight landed at LAX.. The people at the airline counter at LAX said the flight from LA to SFO would be delayed three hours due to fog in SFO.. The lady at the counter suggested I try to get on the flight from LAX to Oakland, as I was about to walk over, a woman walked up to the desk and was going from LA to SFO. After she was told of the delay, I said to her to come with me to the Oakland counter and we can both see about that flight..

We both did get on the flight to Oakland, the lady said that she had a meeting in SFO that she had to get to at the Marriott across the street from the Moscone Center and would give me a ride in her limo..

So I wound up getting there in time..saw Sean from Jericho Kansas and then saw Carol Barbee..once in the back I reacquainted myself with Alicia Coppola, Lennie James and Brad Beyer..and introduced myself to a couple of people from CBS. CBS had flyers made to pass out to the people in the Expo center, I passed out many and gave the rest to two friends who were dressed as Stormtroopers to pass out outside of the building. We then went to the interview area…was flattered that a couple of journalists talked to me..then it was back to the green room..

There I met Summer Glau and Thomas Dekker from Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles…

Everyone at the Jericho table had a nice lunch and a great conversation about many topics.. Then it was time for the Q and A, Carol and the gang you can tell love the show and love to talk to the fans about Jericho..Carol was nice enough to give me a shout out from the stage..took me by surprise and humbled me..

Once back behind the curtain of the Q and A, Thomas Dekker shook my hand and said he is a huge Jericho fan as well.. When in interviews people ask him what show besides his does he like, he says Jericho.

Then after more conversation, the Jericho team and I said our good byes and I was left to get in touch with my inner geek at WonderCon..

A great event with at least 1,100 people in the hall on a rainly and foggy day in San Francisco on a Sunday..

Big promotional efforts from one little fan!

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 13:34:05 -0500

rubberpoultry:

When Jericho was cancelled and we were all fighting to get the show back, many of us listened to Shaun Omac Radio to hear the latest on the effort to save Jericho. Over the course of those three weeks we were able to speak to our heroes in the Jericho universe, by calling in with questions, encouragements, and thank yous.

One of my favorite reoccurfing moments was when a (then)9 yr old girl named Shelby would call in to talk to our Jericho family. This sweet little fan has been one of the most prolific promoters in the fandom, and her motives are as pure as can be. She just loves Jericho, plain and simple. This love has led her to do incredible things from supporting our troops with Jericho DVDs, to visiting the set where she made her trip about the fandom by getting autographs for raffles, and special recorded messages for a few lucky fans.

Her site www.jericho4kids.com is chock full of incredible interviews, videos, and games. She is one of a kind, and I am very proud of her.

Shelby got an incredible opportunity this week when she was interviewed by the Kansas City CBS affiliate. Check out this story about an amazing little girl, and her family:

I was fortunate enough to meet Shelby when business travels took me near her home. This was a fun moment, just before we called Shaun’s show together when Michael Loomer was on:

Shelby, if you’re reading this, you’re the best, and I’m so glad you’re part of this fandom. Keep up the great work!

Bombwatcher's Amazing Video Signature Offer

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 00:18:20 -0500

Signature graphics have been popular on the CBS Jericho board for as long as it has been around. I’ve only been a community member for 10 months, and I know they’ve adorned the posts of many a user for that amount of time anyway.

I’ve seen some awesome designs along the way, but one Jericho artist has raised the bar for everyone, and the best part is that she’s taking requests!

Tracy-AKA bombwatcher, has recently begun capturing favorite fan requested scenes from Jericho and then converting them to signatures. The icing on the cake is that she adds in custom usernames (in really great fonts) for a custom style that is way beyond cool.

Here’s an example:
