Well, not yet. Though we are getting closer than ever.
A few hours ago, several reports started coming in regarding the cancelled TV series, 'Jericho'. It has been reported that CBS is now reconsidering the cancellation of 'Jericho'. I must say that I'm incredibly proud of the people who got involved with the campaign. With the number of people involved, we did make a big impact because CBS has realized that they may have made a mistake. They must had gotten the message since they got over 50,000 pounds of nuts from the fans of 'Jericho'. Wouldn't you say? What's really neat is that they are donating the nuts to charities including these that send care packages to troops overseas. Got to command CBS for making a good move on that part.
So far, it has been reported that there is a possibility that they will bring the show back onto the air mid-season. That would be somewhere near the beginning of spring 2008. Eight episodes are being considered for the second season, and it has been said that there will be reductions in the budget. I cannot say I'm surprised and this also means getting rid of some regular characters. Chances are it will be the secondary characters. Don't be surprised if the deaf character gets the boot. But who knows?
The big problem is that the sound stage they used for 'Jericho' is going to be used for the new CBS program, 'Swingtown'. Though in some of the reports, it says that they are trying to find ways to solve the problems associated with the sound stage, scheduling, cast members and more.
The show hasn't been officially saved yet. 'Jericho' has not been saved yet. CBS is definitely readying the plans and in talks with the cast members.
Let's keep hoping because we are getting closer to accomplishing our mission to save ‘Jericho’.
All we have to wait is for a press release from CBS to declare victory.

I'm curious WHY you are so eager to save Jericho.
ReplyDeleteIs it because you REALLY believe it is a top-quality television show, or because it just so happens it has a Deaf character?
Would you still be interested in watching it if the Deaf character gets the boot?
Let's be honest here - the only real reason most Deaf people tuned in to the show is because of the Deaf character...otherwise, I bet most of them wouldn't even bother.
I watched it one or two times, and I didn't particularly think there was anything all that fantastic about it. It was okay, but it didn't inspire me to keep watching. Frankly, I kept forgetting about it.
But hey, if these folks all think it's great television, more power to you. But truthfully, I haven't seen that many people talking about it, and I would think it wouldn't be getting canceled if the ratings were better. Networks don't cancel successful shows.
I don't care about Jericho. I think it needs to go! I watched it a few times and didn't think that any of the episodes were that good. I don't see why you really want to save this show but I'm guessing that you're obsessing about this deaf female actress.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of Jericho.
The simple reason why I’m so eager to save the show is because I like it. Eager enough to save it.
ReplyDeleteWe're not really talking about whether we like the show or not. It has no relevance to the subject. The mission here is to encourage people into helping out with the campaign. Now, you’re saying that not a lot of people are talking about it.
Where have you been? A lot of people are talking about it and I don’t mean just a few hundred people. Literally hundreds of thousands sent e-mails, letters, postcards, sent roasted nuts to the headquarters and more. Many people blogged about it and if you’ll check the Google News, you’ll see a large number of Jericho-related news. Apparently a lot of people do talk about it despite what you say.
Don't turn it into a political issue here just because I’m deaf. It’s rather low of your character to make such an implication toward me, I’ll say.
Before you leave a comment. At least read my previous posts regarding the TV series then you'll get the idea what I think of the TV show. Then you wouldn't have made all these implications about my intentions. Yes, I would still watch it even if the deaf character gets the boot. I made this clear in some of the previous blog entries.
It isn't about the deaf character. I mention it because it happens to have a deaf character. I also happen to be deaf; it’s just a coincidence. I like a show where there's a strong sense of character development.
It's not for everybody. If you don’t like it, I’m fine with that. But this isn’t really the place to discuss it.

Don't put words into mouth and I won't put words into yours.
We don’t need the naysayers here.
