Two "finales" were filmed for Tuesday: one that left viewers with a cliff-hanger (in the event of a Season 3), and one that resolves things a bit more. The latter edit, the one now headed to your screens, will leave fans "not too happy," Skeet Ulrich confirmed in this Mitovich Mega Minute Q&A (at the 3:00 mark):

I hate neilsen families

I hate the average imbecile American --> too stupid to recognize a great show even if it bit him in the ass

I hate television executives with their astronomical paychecks, unable to figure out a way to support and keep brilliant shows on the air... despite the lack of viewership from J6P

How can a show like the Apprentice, that outlived it's usefullness and became TOTALLY uninspired after it's second season get 5 more seasons while brilliant shows keep on getting cancelled one after another

People need to make some SERIOUS noise and rants to make sure Jericho gets picked up by the Sci-Fi network

I'm beggining to wonder if I will EVER watch a scripted show again unless it's on a network like FX, USA, HBO, SHOWTIME or SCI-FI

My cousin's son (my second cousin?) was in season 1 of Jericho. I never saw that episode or episodes though. He was one of the kids on the school bus. He was an orphan on Nacho Libre too. I did see that! It was my first Blu-ray purchase in November 2006!

Although 1080 and I rarely agree on anything. I was really disappointed to find out the Jericho was canceled. Total bummer.

I would love to see it get picked up.

Zman2k2 · 03-22-2008, 03:52 PM

WHAT!!! Cancelled again. This totally sucks. What do we do? How do we make enough noise to have the show picked up again? I'm loving how the show goes, the last episode was fantastic.

WickyWoo · 03-22-2008, 03:54 PM

If it's canned again, the likelyhood of a second uncanning is slim to none

The show is being shopped around. Noise MUST be made to let potential networks (SciFi in particular... since they are allready airing Seasons 1 & 2) realize that we care and want to see more!

I suggest:

1) participating in any online petitions

2) Voice directly on the SciFi.com Jericho forum:

http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showforum=149

3) E-mail SCIFI directly --> feedback@scifi.com

There's a good chance Jericho could be SciFi's highest rated show if they pick it up... especially since Batlestar Galactica is ending...

P.S. A show like Jericho should last at least 5 seasons (they KEY amount for getting lots of cash in syndication) and I don't want to see my dream of owning a Blu-Ray 5 season box set of Jericho go up in smoke

I hear you -- I cancelled out HBO when they canned 'Carnivale'.

i watch it every week since day one. some of the editing in the show is sooo bad. but i love this show.

Nathan0490 · 03-23-2008, 08:43 AM

Awesome show, I recently watched all of Season 1 in a matter of 2 days and have been watching Season 2 every week! It is the only show on CBS that I watch so I will be canceling them off my list of networks. (now just FOX and NBC)

Think I'm nuts?

Not a single person who has left his employ while the shows were still on have had success

Greenwalt- Every show cancelled, even the good ones. Tim Minear, same thing. Amber Benson- Didn't give up theother job to play the first- Retribution was swift

Ira Behr just can't seem to get a break. Old BlueBeard is one of the bestshowrunners in the biz, and 4400 is a testament to that. I've put in some emails asking about it from people who would know, but haven't gotten a response back, and my friend in LA couldn't make it out to the picket line to ask Ira while there still was one

Trail of bodies for them also includes Drive, the "let's put it on Sunday, and cancel it the following Monday" show.

Amber Benson was asked to be The First? Geez, that was dumb to turn down. Not that it was much of a part on screen... Fillion was great as Caleb though.

I don't find the Firefly axing anywhere near as harsh as Tru Calling. A) it didn't end on a devastating-baddies-winning abrupt end. B) They got to make a movie to tie things up.

I'm looking forward to seeing Dushku and Whedon together again with Dollhouse.

And Dushku was at the end of Buffy, remember...

Who knows what has happened to Gellar though... Been very quiet - although maybe intentionally. I liked The Return though.

Editing bad? Like what for example? Or are you talking about ad breaks being put in nastily? I'm watching it on DVD so can't comment on butchered TV broadcasting.

BPHusker · 03-24-2008, 03:43 AM

I never watched Jericho, but I know how the Jericho fans feel. I was a big fan of Journeyman and NBC had to go and cancel it. Hopefully it gets picked up by Sci-Fi or someone else, but now that it has been almost 4 months and the actors doing other things, I doubt it will happen.

Bigdog · 03-24-2008, 02:22 PM

Im done trying to watch any network show ever again, i got better things to do with my time then get wrapped into a series only for them to end it with no reason other then it isnt competing with that waste of space american idol!

KenThompson · 03-24-2008, 04:45 PM

Now that really pisses me off. What will they replace it with, another lame ass reality show. Have never watched one and never will. Everytime the wife and I get into something they cancel, CBS can blow me.
