After being canceled last spring, Jericho was rescued thanks to an impressive ‘bring back the show’ campaign by the fans and 50,000 pounds of nuts sent to CBS headquarters in New York. For once the execs listened and a second season was green-lighted.
Tonight Jericho returns at 10pm on CBS with seven new episodes, just in time to counter the abysmal choices on television. If you love post-apocalyptic sci-fi this is the series for you. Heck, even if you don’t like the genre you should check it out.
So what is Jericho? The show in a nutshell…
And just when you think it can’t get any better it does starting tonight. The Season Two preview…
If that doesn’t get you pumped for tonight’s premiere, then make sure you view the first five minutes of tonight’s episode.
One thing I like about the second season is that they filmed both a cliffhanger ending and an actual ending for episode seven. Like most fans, I hate when shows don’t get the chance to have closure. So no matter what, we won’t be left high and dry not knowing the fate of the citizens of Jericho.
That is a good thing.

GREAT piece, Chris!! I am soooo excited about tonight I can hardly stand it!
I LOVED season one of JERICHO and from what I hear, season two is even better.
People, don’t think this is a dark, depressing show……it’s NOT. It’s exciting, different, warm, with a touch of romance. It’s about a town trying to cope with a new world.
Give it a try tonight! I PROMISE you will love it!
10 p.m. EST on CBS!!
TICK……TICK……BOOM!!!!!!!

We didn’t watch Jericho when it first aired because we thought it would be depressing. When we actually checked out the show we were hooked. Last night we rewatched the first episodes on the SCI-FI channel and my husband said after hearing Johnston Green talk about how this town was in a fight to save its humanity that what the show in a nutshell. it was about people in an inhumane situation staying humane. It is the best show on television today. We can’t wait for tonight.

So glad you like the show, and thanks for the blog piece! I’m looking forward to tonight, I really hope that they eventually end up using the alternate ending that leads to a third season.

Rickey’s more of a fan of LOST and The Wire, but has been meaning to check this out. Perhaps he’ll catch up on season 1 shortly…
