… no official confirmation yet and some rumours there will be staff reductions. That’s to be expected but let’s hope the cuts are not too heavy..

Jericho’ fans win; CBS may bring back show

It appears that fans of “Jericho” have pulled off one of the rarest of television feats: bringing a canceled series back from the dead. CBS is close to finalizing a deal to resurrect the post-nuclear holocaust drama, less than a month after the network dropped the show from its schedule. Since the series’ cancellation was announced last month, CBS executives have been bombarded with thousands of e-mails and tons of nuts in protest. (The nuts were in reference to a line in the show’s season finale.) Within days, Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, posted a message on the network’s web site saying that in the wake of the protest campaign, CBS was looking for some way to “bring closure” to the series.
While the initial discussions involved a two-hour movie, sources said today they quickly evolved into whether to bring the show back for a limited run of episodes at mid-season. Word about the possible renewal leaked out early today and while CBS still has no official comment, “Jericho” co-creator and executive producer Carol Barbee tells the Los Angeles Times in Wednesday’s editions that it is CBS’s intent to bring back the series for eight episodes. “The idea would not be to bring it back for eight and out but to bring it back for eight with the hope that it would keep going,” Barbee tells the Times. “They’re making deals with the actors, and there’s other logistical stuff to work out.” Barbee says deals with actors could be in place within 48 hours.

In recent years, network shows have rarely been revived after being cancelled. The only recent example is “Roswell,” a show dropped by the WB in 2001. It was picked up by UPN after fans launched a campaign to save it.

(Hmmmm, it’s sounding very, very promising … Now let’s just hope there are no problems with the deals they are making with the actors.)

Thank you Paul! I’ve been working round the clock for a couple of weeks now (letters, e-mails, phone calls, t-shirt orders, calling into the Shaun O’mac show, ordering nuts and nuts and nuts, posting and posting and posting on boards! We will save this show! If CBS doesn’t bring it back they are NUTS!

Thank you for the encouragement, guys .. let’s hope CBS realises the error of their ways and at the very least sells the show to another network. Sure to be a big money earner and even more popular now after all the amazing publicity that’s been going on.

Thanks for the easy links. Only season 2 will do. Best thing fans can do is: Sign the Petition, send nuts via nutsonline.com, and email/call their tv/radio stations to request more stories done on this movement.

don’t get angry, get nuts!
