TV's Jericho is scrapped for good

Jericho, the TV drama portraying the aftermath of nuclear attacks on the United States, has been cancelled by CBS, despite viewers' protests, reports the BBC.

"Last year some of them sent 40,000lb (18,100kg) of peanuts - a reference to a line of dialogue - to CBS when it announced Jericho was being scrapped.

CBS made more seven episodes, but Tuesday's edition is to be the last."

"Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this programme," said Nina Tassler, the network's entertainment president, in a statement issued to the Associated Press.

"We simply wish there were more," she added. "We have no regrets bringing the show back for a second try."
