'Jericho' fan campaign seems successful
Baltimore Sun reports on the success of a fan-based campaign which managed to pressure a big network to bring a TV series back.
"For weeks, Jericho junkies have been firing e-mails (effectively shutting down inboxes at CBS), signing petitions and sending bags of nuts to CBS headquarters in protest.
The assault seems to have worked, Jericho creator and executive producer Carol Barbee said this week. CBS executives are in discussions with the show's producers and actors to resuscitate the show -- killed just last month -- for an eight-episode run in midseason."
Synopsis of Jericho: What if you lived in a small town and spotted a nuclear mushroom cloud off in the distance? What if you realized your town may be one of the only surviving towns in the country? Would your town band together or would complete chaos erupt? Jericho offers a believable view of what might happen should the worst-case scenario come to fruition.
