Issue:

Should Jericho be kept on CBS and should someone call the head of CBS to let them know the viewers feelings?

Belief:

CBS did not give Jericho a fair chance, by asking the cast and crew for seven (1/3 the number of the first season) episodes. CBS changed the time of the showing of the show, a show which could help families to have some positive conversation on their beliefs of the reality of the show, as well as a chance to speculate "what if atomic bombs were to go off in the United States?"

This show gave families a chance to allow children to watch the show without having to worry about sexual innuendos and a chance to bring families closer

CBS changed to a time slot, that while still in prime time, did not allow children to watch the show.

95%

CBS cut the budget the cast AND the number of shows to 1/3 of the shows from the first season, as well as ignoring audience members who either taped, or watched the show online. One of the writers strike issues was about the internet, yet CBS still ignored that section of the audience

I very rarely watch shows on the "Top Three" networks, and Jericho was no exception! But.... I "accidentally" watched the first episode because my DVR recorded it on the SciFi channel. I was hooked! I am now in the process of watching all the episodes and am saddly disappointed that 2 seasons is all I get! I wish the exce's would listen to their viewers! We want something different, we want good writing, interesting characters, plot development. We don't want "Commercial" I say, forget CBS! Let a cable network pick up this fabulous series and run with it. Come On SciFi channel, here's your chance!

One of the best shows out there that the whole family can watch. I feel it would be a big mistake on your part.Some other network might pick it up and put it in a good time slot and keep it there.

I like the show and was looking foward to the new season. My husband & I have been renting the tapes and watching the series. We waited all spring for the 2nd season to come out on DVD

Loved the show and want it to return for a full season. I watched all the shows online.

Due to changing the time slot, we would have to TIVO it and then my entire family (40, 50, 16 & 5) set aside the very next evening with popcorn and all just to watch Jericho as a family. This was such a special night for the entire family. How dare you take such a wonderful show off the air. When will you ever learn. No wonder we have to watch cable due to CBS having nothing but crap on. Such a shame especially when the last few episodes were some of the best written that I can remember in a long time. I think it is about time for this country to see that "WE, USA" can in fact fight back, stay strong and "WIN!" as portrayed in Jericho.

Please..not again. I find it confusing as to why a network giant would insist on cancelling a terrific show like Jericho after they have already attempted to do this in the past. Besides, I have always been taught the old saying....
IF IT'S NOT BROKE............DON'T FIX IT !!!
Jericho is only one of a handful of shows on television today that I would not be embarrased for my grandchildren to see me watching.

Why does CBS put on those stupid reality shows and ignore Jericho? This was a superb series!!!!! I do not watch the stupid reality shows they present, thus I do not watch CBS. Bring this show back!!!! I also do not understand cancellation after all the protest last year when they pulled this same stupid decision. They (CBS) do not listen to the viewers!!!
