Jericho has been renewed for a mid-season replacement! After an incredible "bring em back" campaign waged by the viewers of Jericho (a series based on the premise of what life would be like after the detonation of multiple nuclear bombs within the continental USA through the eyes of people living in Jericho, KS) bombarded CBS Execs with peanuts which was a tag line in the season finale episode uttered by Gerald McRaney prior to his untimely death in the ending moments of the ep. People decided to send bags of peanuts to CBS in protest of pulling the series off after what appeared to be an incredible cliff hanger episode. This afternoon CBS has announced that it will be bringing Jericho back for at least 7 eps and possibly more, looking at ways to enlarge the fanbase through the release of the first season on DVD to rerunning the series this summer. That could work, it was how I got into LOST during the first season.
There aren't too many series that I drop everything for, or TiVo regularly - but Jericho and LOST are the two that are "must watch" with UGLY BETTY running a close third. Kudos to the fans for keeping this one alive. Keep your word CBS...there are more peanuts waiting to be sent if need be.

Skeet (Jake) was the one who said, "NUTS!".
THANK YOU to CBS!!
Oops, I stand corrected. I'm just thrilled it's on again!
actually Grandpa said it first, years before at the brothers (whose name escapes me totally right now) wedding - while they were in the bar. Then Dad said it, when talking to Jake, then Jake said it to Whats-his-name (who used to be on Judging Amy *L*) NOt that I care, I'm just thrilled to see CBS is listening and bringing it back! WHOOHOO
