MEL’S MUSINGS

“Jericho” was a good show in its own right. Kept you on the edge of your seat many times. It ran its first season last year, which ended in a cliffhanger. Fans were appalled. How could they just let it end like that? So fans of the show sent truckloads of peanuts to CBS to try to get it back on the air, my boyfriend included. Peanuts were part of the story line, but forgive me for not telling you why, since I don’t remember why. CBS heard the fans and aired 7 more episodes recently to appease them. No cliffhanger, everything ended neat and tidy.

However, I guess that wasn’t enough. I received the following email last week:

Jericho - Update!
Today, Fri April 4, is the last day CBS is logging (counting) calls from people who want Jericho back.www.cbs.com/jericho

they’re logging calls! 323.575.2380. Please take a moment to call.

You may get a person or you may get a machine. Just tell them you want to be counted as someone who enjoyed it and would enjoy it back on the air.

This info is from the jericho message boards at CBS.com

This won’t mean CBS will put jericho back on the air but it will encourage them to find a new network home for it.

Ummm……seriously? I liked “Jericho” as much as the next guy, but maybe it’s time for it to go by way of the dodo bird. I mean, what’s next? Sending in blue leisure suits to get The Brady Bunch back on the air?

If you’re really sad about “Jericho” ending, maybe buy the boxed DVD set so that you can bask in the goodness that is Jake anytime you want. Or start a rally to get all these damn reality shows off the air. Yeah, I think that’s a better idea. Down with Survivor!!!
