This is pretty sad news for fans [<a style=\"color: #cc0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/zablozone.blogspot.com\/search?q=jericho\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">myself included<\/span><\/a>] who&#8217;ve followed the show since episode one.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Jericho<\/span> was one of those shows that seemed to gain momentum as the season progressed. The <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">season one premiere<\/span> left me feeling that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Jericho<\/span> had a great concept, and the potential to be really good or it go the opposite direction and become a &#8220;new romance \/ save one of the townsfolk&#8221; of the week dramas. Instead it became a <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">compelling vision<\/span> of life in a small town cut off from the rest of the country after the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">US<\/span> was the victim of multiple nuclear attacks. Increasingly, I found myself anticipating each new episode. I was sad to learn that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Jericho<\/span> was cancelled at the end of the first season.<\/p>\n<p>Of course we&#8217;re all aware that <a style=\"color: #cc0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/zablozone.blogspot.com\/2007\/06\/jericho-to-rise-again.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Jericho was saved by a massive fan base<\/span><\/a> and brought back for an abbreviated <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">season two<\/span>. Unfortunately, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">season two<\/span> got off to a slow start. There was a new focus &#8212; instead of being about how the folks of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Jericho<\/span> were going to survive life after nuclear attacks, the show took a broader canvas and became about how the country would survive a potential overthrow from within. The change was jarring, but for those of us who stayed with <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Jericho<\/span>, we were treated to a show that had the potential to be <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">even better than the first season<\/span>. I was diggin&#8217; the direction of the show and again looking forward to each new episode.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Jericho has been cancelled yet again. One thing I&#8217;ve learned from the show and it&#8217;s fan base, is it ain&#8217;t over until it&#8217;s over. Hopefully <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Jericho<\/span> will find new life on a different network [perhaps the SCIFI channel?] and the story will continue to unfold. If so, I&#8217;ll be coming along for the ride.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS has announced that Jericho has been cancelled.
