A Sad Day, Indeed
Hot off the presses....and I am depressed!!!!! 
Jericho Cancelled Again
It's the end of the road for the resurrected series.

March 21, 2008 - Last year Jericho got a lot of attention when CBS cancelled the series, only for the fans to rally behind it. The ensuing "nuts" campaign was a very impressive one, and resulted in the series achieving the incredibly rare feat of being un-cancelled, as CBS renewed it for a seven episode second season.
Unfortunately for Jericho fans however, the publicity surrounding the show's resurrection didn't result in increased ratings for Season 2, leaving its fate very much in doubt once again. And indeed, CBS has now announced that this coming Tuesday's Season 2 finale will serve as a series finale. 
CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler has released the following statement:
"The March 25th episode of Jericho will be the series finale. Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more. We thank an engaged and spirited fan base for keeping the show alive this long, and an outstanding team of producers, cast and crew that went through creative hoops to deliver a compelling, high quality second season. We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try. We listened to our viewers, gave the series an opportunity to grow, and the producers put a great story on the screen. We're proud of everyone's efforts."
It had previously been revealed that two different endings were shot for the Season 2 finale - one to be used if the show was coming back, one if it was not. Clearly the producers will now be using the more definitive ending version.
I guess it would be too much to ask for another network to pick this GREAT show up.....and cable - from everything I am hearing, this show is way too expensive to produce for a cable network to pic it up....(SCIFI???? CAN YOU HEAR ME?????)
Tonight's episode is the final episode. Luckily I have the first season on DVD and the second season Tivo'd.
Peace.Love.Live.
