This time the fans are rallying in the hope that another network may pick up the series. Executive producer Carol Barbee is reportedly shopping the show around to a few other networks, which may include the CW or TNT. The Sci Fi Channel, which would seem the most obvious choice, is probably unlikely since it's owned by NBC. Fans are already writing to these networks, as well as sending letters to advertisers who have supported Jericho, such as Sprint and Snickers. The angrier fans are talking about boycotting CBS and, of course, sending the network rage-filled letters. There are also online petitions being created to beg CBS to save the show.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Looks like a large percentage of the people taking the poll on this site want to see another network to pick this show up. I for one agree!

I agree. With the lowered expectations for ratings on cable Jericho just might be able to make it.

Great seed, rottlady! I thought they'd keep it another season from what the announcer said.

Jerico is one of my favorite shows. Actually, I think I'd rather watch Jerico than Lost most days. I really hope that it gets picked up by one of the cable companies.
