Default "Jericho" cancelled...... again.

Well, this is hardly surprising. But it still sucks. Season 2 was freakin' awesome, and this show was definitely killed before its time. But I can't fault CBS too much, they shows it much more patience than, say, Fox.

Yeah, I don't think anyone is particularly surprised. The fact of the matter is that CBS probably had little intentions of keeping it on longer anyhow. The "renewal" was probably just a publicity thing. But still, kudos to them for at least giving us a wrap up to the show, where FOX would have just tried to tell us that it didn't matter what we think, what we really want is reality tv.

The folks at FOX make excellent Executive Powder, though.

Sci-Fi bought the rebroadcast rights to the first two seasons...I wonder if they're thinking about picking it up, especially since BSG is entering its final season?

I'd be really suprised, but that would be awesome if they did. And for once, it'd be a show that actually fit with SciFi.

Oh man, what a great finale. Just like last year, I'm left really, really wishing there was another season coming up. What a fabulous, fabulous fucking storyline that would have been! A new American Civil War, this time the East vs the West! Small-town Jericho, stuck in the middle, a garrison of insurrection against an evil corporate government commanding a powerful mercenary military!

Damn! I really hope they manage to continue this story somehow - comic book, movie, whatever!

The greatest moment of the episode, I really hope you get the reference:

Blip, blip.
