CBS Execs Finally Pull Trigger on Jericho
Jericho’s View from the CBS Scheduling Office
It’s “goodnight sweetheart” for our boys over at Jericho. According to Syfy Portal, CBS finally pulled the plug.
We all saw this coming and those that didn’t are delusional. No broadcast network could continue to support a show that was garnering so little in terms of ratings/market share. Regardless of whatever reason may be responsible for those ratings.
I agree with Syfy Portal that CBS does deserve credit for responding to the “Nuts!” campaign and bringing the show back for a season (although a truncated one).
I will always maintain, however, that the timeslot killed this show but CBS, for whatever reason, has decided that Big Brother is very important to their network (no matter that no one is watching it).
There are some rumors that the show may appear on another network. Honestly, this show probably makes more sense on a SciFi network or USA (maybe after episodes of Walker, Texas Ranger!).
Be sure to tune into this week’s episode on Tuesday. It’s the finale…for now.
