The 2nd season is even better than the first. Trying to run opposite that moronic "American Idol" it doesn't have a chance. I hope it gets picks up on another network if CBS bales on it again.

Pick the farthest left choice and you see what direction the plot will take. Assume all corporations are evil --- "This isn't a country, it's a corporation" --- and you have the plot. Really? That's just lazy writing and propaganda. The reason I used to tune into the show was that I didn't know where it was going. Taking the socialist highway with the rest of hollywood is just plain boring. Why not actually surprise us with something like J&R being the good guys in an episode? Why not make the army the good guys --- and not after they have had a deep emotion epitome about the evils of fighting. Do us a favor and have the Jericho writers go back on strike.

Couldn't it have more to do with the fact that it came back late season (instead of in the fall with all the big season premieres) and that it is playing in a later time slot than last season (not to mention on a crummy night when there are already too many popular shows on)? I initially didn't like the new direction the show was taking in the season premiere. But since then I think it has hit it's stride and has really gotten interesting. I just needed to watch a couple of the shows to get locked in. I like all the ideas on here about how to save the show. Hopefully the people "upstairs" at CBS are as clever as people on here, because I think the show could do really well on a better night and at a better time. (I really like the idea of pairing it up with Supernatural on CW. Another show that I enjoy that doesn't get the audience it deserves...)

But I can imagine how difficult it must be to try and pick up a show towards the end for those who have never seen it or know little about it. Committing to watch all of season one is a bit much for most. Toast or not (which I hope not) it's a great show and have enjoyed this ride. P.S. you mean there were other shows on Tuesday night?

I guess I should be happy about this AMAZING second season of Jericho and I sure don't regret being part of the fight last year. Even if just for 7 eps it was well worth it. Best so far, there's just no time-out.
