KnightoftheRose 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'm not sure if anyone here watched Jericho, or has even heard of it. The big story was that CBS canceled it last week. The bigger story is that the fans reacted in an unprecedented fashion Like to the toon of a 75k Petition, a full page ad in Variety Weekly, and 13,000 pounds (over 6 TONS) of peanuts sent to CBS corporate office in NYC. If you want to participate, OR if you just want to see a major corporation overrun by 8 million furious fans, swing by some of these links http://www.JerichoLives.com http://copywriteink.blogspot.com/search/label/jericho http://find-the-boots.blogspot.com/ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=save+jericho http://blog.myspace.com/dwcarless Thanks and have fun Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Heya Kotr! long time no see ^^ I remember when serenity was cancelled, and the huge internet backlash that followed. It was cool seeing fans all come together like that and the number of websites that sprouted up was phenomenal I'll give your posted links a visit and see what's up. Cheers! gogo Link to comment
bhj 24 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 well I have never heard about Jericho but it looks like a lot of people have hers a bit of reading on the CBS forum Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 heh, it's pretty crazy huh. lol, if, somehow, the fans can't get this show back I'll definitely go and get the whole first year season. It sounds like the peeps who loved Galactica loved this show too. definitely something I'd like to see gogo Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 actually...I wanted to know this too... why peanuts, inside show joke? gogo Link to comment
Schot 406 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I think the peanuts thing is kinda like throwing Tomatoes at a very unpopular/terrible stage performer or if a person speaking to a large group of people says something the people really don't like. Like maybe... *CBS* "Good day people of T.V. land. We've decided to cancel Jericho..." *The People* "Boooooo!" <--CBS spokeperson getting pelted-< Something to that affect I think, haha. For myself though I've never heard of Jericho. Oh and... Hi KOTR! Link to comment

moonkeybla 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 actually...I wanted to know this too...why peanuts, inside show joke? gogo It was a quote from the very last episode of season 1, where the main character calls this other guy Nuts...something like that Anyway, you probably all already know this, but Jericho has been renewed for a shortened 2nd season, and they're in talks of having a 3rd!

gogoblender 3,042 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 wow Didn't know it was renewed That's fantastic news. I haven't watched the show, but I always appreciate it when big business listens to the folks. Powah to dah peeps! gogo Link to comment
Funkilicious 1 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 We had this discussion on another forum, whereby, shows get cancelled because of lack of numbers which is what the big studios look at for advertising dollars, afterall its the advertising dollars that they want. BUT since the internet and access to bittorrent is now so easy, most folks don't wait for commercial stations to air the program 2 to 3 months down the track (in Australia's case anyway) they just grab it more or less an hour after it is shown and thrown on to torrent sites. So a dilemma occurs when the studios start talking about cancelling the show, they need dollars from advertising to keep afloat yet a majority of the audiences aren't watching commercial TV. So the question is, how will commercial TV survive the download phenomenon as most programs are allowable via download legally the next day via CBS, ABC etc and how will they crack down on torrent sites:) Link to comment
puppyonmyfeet 0 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hello Gogo The reason they chose peanuts is because that was the reply the town gave to the overthrowing forces that were about to start the final battle. his answer to the surrender deal was NUTS! . Link to comment
