Jericho is the one and only reason I watch CBS it would be terrible to see such an amazing piece of television history and greatness be torn away from a culture that so desperately needs to break away from the game shows, reality television and dull repetitious sit-coms that have created a vacuum that is devouring truly great television that inspires and makes you feel as though you are right in the thick of the action standing side by side with your fellow Rangers!

I love Jericho. If CBS is smart it will keep it on. I hate all the reality tv shows. What’s wrong with America. The networks always cancel the good shows. SAVE JERICHO!!!!!!!!!!!

[...] last night’s ratings, combined with what we’ve seen all season, it seems unlikely that we will see a Season Three, [...]

Jon, we have not rehashed Idol versus Dancing it’s the first time that’s happened since we launched the site! I didn’t overlook Miss Guided either…I’m not optimistic.

Robert you do such a great job about not beating around the bush with the dumbass in charge of CBS, and really speaking out against nepotism, because it has failed time and time again, but Americans keep failing to hold parents accountable! Thanks, as always:-)

We’ve rehashed a lot these scenarios before – Idol, Dancing, Jericho (terrible slot for that here).

What about the over-looked debut of Miss Guided. How real are those numbers following ‘Dancing with the Smucks’ (love Judy Greer AND Brooke Burns, Chris Parnell)? For those who don’t have the time, this isn’t just for high-schoolers (I could quote you a couple of mature/adult lines – but won’t).

There’s always room for another good sitcom with likeable actors and good writing.

If Jericho could have followed a winning show all along, it might have stood a chance. It has gotten to be a quantum leap above the insipid and ridiculous “24″ and is groundbreaking when you consider that no other series in the history of TV has ever done this scenario before.

In fact, there has not even been a movie that seriously explored what a post-nuclear America would be like — especially when the “enemy” is big business!

I really do hope that CW or Sci-Fi picks it up because there is so much depth to the characters and the story lines that has yet to be plumbed.

I hope the finale is in double-digits. I’ve been telling everyone I know to watch it, and asked them to tell everyone they know to watch it.

At the very least, if next week is the series finale, it will be the most intense series finale in recent memory.

Yeah it doesn’t look good for Jericho while the episodes have gotten better and better each week.

I only wish they had started the season 2 premiere more like the rest of the episodes. Anyone deciding to watch it for the first time didn’t get to see what the show is really like (from last season or the rest of this season).

I also wish they would have used a different time slot/day.

Well the fact BB lost viewers half from NCIS and continued to lose through the hr shows it is time to close the house on BB. Jericho regained almost a point from what BB lost gaining Hh and 18-49 to me BB needs to go away Jericho following NCIS is money bet on it #s would easily been 5.3/6 18-49 and 8 HH

I wonder what the ratings of Jericho would be like if they had kept it on wed. at 8 or even 10, there isn’t much competition in those time slots. Considering it has one of the worst lead in shows on television (I hate big brother) and gets higher ratings than its lead in tells me a lot about the popularity of the show.
