Well if you ask me I think one major problem has been that CBS has always seemed to mishandle the series. Past the first week or two that the show was on the air I never seemed to see or hear a single peep or ad about the show. It got off to a strong start but then they put the show on a three month hiatus. End result? They lost 25% of their viewers according to Nielsen rating. Of course as some people may be aware the Nielsen system is very outdated and is a poor measure of how many viewers a show has. Also don't forget that in the first season it was matched up against Bones and Deal or No Deal.

Now when the show returned many people said they didn't catch it at the 9 PM timeslot or that they either watched on demand from the CBS website or downloaded the episodes on Itunes. So what did CBS do? They moved it to Tuesday at 10 PM with Big Brother as the lead in. Well no one gives a shit about BB not to mention that's Idol night. In other words me and many fans of the show agree. CBS brought it back and purposely threw it into a poor timeslot as a way of saying fuck you. CBS claims low viewership was the cause with the average numbers for the second season (according to Nielsen mind you) of about 6 million.

I'm sorry low viewership? I guess they didn't count the fact that the DVD set was a big seller not to mention Jericho being a consistant #1 download for Itunes. Finally a guy at CBS later admited that they get between 12 and 15 million people watching the episodes on their own time at CBS.com

I call it as I see it.....and personally I see a case where CBS wanted it to fail. I've got a theroy on that which I'll hold off on lest I draw in certain people on this board and turn it into a totally different disscussion no longer related to Jericho.

In any case if you've seen the show feel free to share fav moments, quotes, ect. If you haven't then start with season one. This is one of those shows where if your willing to give it a chance and see at least the first two or three episodes you'll be hooked ^_~
