Default Jericho to be saved?

LINK

Well, 8 episodes to resolve all the story seems a bit scant, but hell, it's better than none.

Yeah, I been reading about that the last couple days. Apparently, CBS has received over 8 TONS of nuts. I'm hopeful, but a little pissed... There were other shows I liked better than "Jericho" that deserved to be saved.

I know. I'll be glad to have it back, certainly, if it comes to pass. But I'd have preferred "Angel" or "Veronica Mars" to be spared the axe over "Jericho", as much as I enjoy it.

Well, it's official: "Jericho" is coming back.

CBS reverses decision to ax 'Jericho'

LOS ANGELES - "Jericho" fans who slammed CBS with protests over the drama's cancellation have won the battle: It will return next season, the network said Wednesday.

It was an unusual display of viewer might since networks usually put ratings ahead of even the most passionate, well-organized fan base. But CBS said the show deserved another chance, while cautioning that it must prove it has wider appeal.

"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," CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said in a letter to "Jericho" boosters.

The letter was released to The Associated Press.

"You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard," Tassler wrote, and seven episodes have been ordered for midseason 2007-08. "In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more `Jericho,' we will need more viewers."

Holy sweet mother of god.... I can't believe they actually decided to bring it back. And with no "we're just wrapping it up" fine print either! That's fucking awesome!

CBS has been redeemed from the "Big Evil Network" theme I placed it in.
