May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Anyone watching Jericho? Season 2 premiered last night and what a great episode.

i had stopped watching season 1 for several reasons - which i won't bore you with, since i know you love the show - so i didn't see the last bunch of episodes. this first episode of s2 was... interesting... should i maybe have watched all of s1 before watching it?

Watching all of season one will help season two make more sense, but they explain things well enough in the premiere that you could probably get by without seeing all of the first season.

Sorry to hear you stopped watching season one. I know it doesn't appeal to everyone, if it did we wouldn't have had to fight so hard to get CBS to reverse their decision to cancel it. I hope you will give season two a chance if you like it.

I liked it, though I'm disappointed (with CBS, not the series) that they had to marginalize a bunch of characters (from "regular" to "recurring" or "off-screen").

Yeah, that part sucked. Unfortunately that was one of the concessions to save the show. According to Brad Beyer who plays Stanley, they had to cut the cast, cut the budget, and cut it down from a full season to just the eight episodes they have now. Lots of cuts, but it beats no season two at all.

I do like the fact it allows for more focus on the primary story and the characters integral to that storyline which will allow more depth.

I thought the episode was very good. The ratings weren't high, although having Big Brother as a lead in show couldn't have helped very much.

I wonder why they didn't show Season 1 first. A lot of people missed it the first time around, and are looking to see something new on tv rather than realty shows.

No doubt the 10pm time slot didn't help the ratings at all, that and the long delay between season 1 and this new one.

CBS did replay all of season one during Nov & Dec and currently Sci Fi is showing season 1 on Monday nights. You can also catch the episodes online at CBS.com.

Jericho was never long for this world, and I'm pretty sure everyone involved with it's "revival" was aware of that. Boothe, sweetie, correct me if I'm wrong - I thought they knew that they'd have a only limited number of episodes to finish up the story before the plug was permanently pulled.

There are many reasons for this, too, but I won't ramble cuz this is a Jericho appreciate thread....

So, that being said, I thought this past episode was pretty good. I think the ending gave it the kick in the ass it's been needing all along.

Well, I'm sure some of the fans had hoped other wise. I still feel for them, because I enjoyed Jericho, but was a bit wary of this season, though it is starting to grow on me.

I did like the last episode, though I hear

That some people are really offended that they killed off a deaf character, and are making a big hullabaloo in the forums over there.

((snerk)) seriously?

yet no one seemed to have any problem that the only black man in the small white town was immediately targeted as the big bad evil terrorist for the majority of the first season?

honestly, i'm glad the character is dead. she really annoyed me, and the death is potentially a great catalyst for a good story....

Yeah, I agree; if they don't pull a Firefly and cut it midseason (indicators are they won't, CBS wants to wait and see how it'll play out-remember, it was going up against some pretty serious election primary coverage this week) then I expect to see some fun; rebellion anyone?

Jericho is and always was to me just.. ok. It had potential to be great but only really ever achieved mediocrity. For Jericho to have such a rabid fanbase says alot about the viewing populace and why Firefly never succeeeded.

Just my two cents..

No chance, Lance. That was just wishful thinking on their part. It's not even remotely going to happen.

It's possible to be disappointed with CBS?
You might be setting your expectations too high.
