Is Jericho the Show That Wouldn’t Die?

Taking a cue from rival net NBC, CBS may be seeking a cost-sharing partnership to save a fan fave.

Apocalyptic drama Jericho may once again be resurrected, this time by means of a possible deal between CBS and cable provider Comcast. The deal may be structured similarly to one between NBC and DirectTV, which gave the sat TV provider first run rights to Friday Night Lights in exchange for splitting the show’s production costs with NBC.

A steady decline in ratings notwithstanding, Jericho has a dedicated following. Fans of the show have once already pulled Jericho back from the brink. CBS, it seems, may once again be ready to favor the faithful who just won’t let Jericho go gently into that good night. If this show manages to crawl out of the crypt for a second time, I may actually have to watch.

    Thanks for helping to spread the word.

    If you want more Jericho please write to: Ms. Nancy Tellem, President, CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group, 4024 Radford Avenue, Studio City, CA 91604-2190.

    Ask her to continue to produce Jericho and sell it to another network. These letters need to go out now, if we wish to save Jericho.

    As a “Jericho” fan since Season 1, I’m optimistic about the show’s possible return. I hope that, if it does come back, you’ll give it a try! In the meantime, you can catch up on the first two seasons at CBS.com.

    I hope it does crawl out of the crypt and that you do watch this time around. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you do! Thanks for covering this story!

    I might check out the show at cbs.com. I watched the season 1 premiere but I lost interest. But if the show inspired this kind of passion, I think it’s worth another look.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Trust me. JERICHO is well worth watching.
    From the very beginning to the end of season 2 and beyond!
