Can't end a stupid war, but got time for tv by EvilWizardGlick	May 21st, 2007 10:12:22 PM
How fucked up are people that they can't end a war but will unite to save a tv show.

GIVE THE FUCK UP! by ShiftyEyedDog2	May 21st, 2007 10:29:33 PM
Jesus Christ you people are pathetic. The show is dead. you should be THANKING GOD that you are apparently going to get some kind of "closure" in a wrap-up episode or movie. Most shows dont get that. Hell, if I were CBS, after this kind of annoying dumbass "nuts" campaign, I'd cancel the plans for that as well!
I'm curious... by wackybantha	May 21st, 2007 11:00:11 PM
Can anyone tell me which shows have been brought back after cancelation due to fan outcry? I think FAMILY GUY is one, right? What others, if any? I'd really like to know. SAVE JERICHO!!!!!!!!
NUTS!!!!!!!! by wackybantha	May 21st, 2007 11:01:41 PM
And furthermore......NUTS!!!!!!!!!
To the haters..... by tristeele	May 21st, 2007 11:03:19 PM
Why even post about it? This Obviously this isn't for you. I've never understood why people just bitch about stuff. It might not have been that good a show but we like it. Hell I read every post nuke book I can find most suck....but every once in awhile one is good. I like the subject. This show isn't GREAT...but its the best post nuke show on the air. That is good enough for me and my $10 bucks. And I seem to remember- Star Trek, Firefly and fucking CAGNEY AND LACEY coming back after similar stupid acts as ours.
Mmmmm....peanut butter. by Pennsy	May 21st, 2007 11:53:16 PM
Not so hot on just nuts, tho.
I hope CBS minds a worthy charity by Napoleon Park	May 22nd, 2007 12:01:56 AM
to contribute all this fat and protien to. Because with world hunger and homelessness, protesting the cancellation of a show about a city with limited food reserves by contributing a ton of food to a major national television network is... sigh... Original Star Trek was either "on the bubble" or on the verge of cancelation when a letter wriging campaign gave it a(n ill-fated) third season. Family guy came back and four 90 minute DVD Futurama features (which can be aired as a dozen TV series episodes) are in the works.
LOL. that'll feed alot of squirrels by palewook	May 22nd, 2007 12:10:59 AM

Right ON!!! They had a good nod on "The Soup" by modlight	May 22nd, 2007 12:20:08 AM
This week... I'm glad its happening. And this is a way more clever way to spend money to save a show than buying the DVD. Maybe we can send fish to NBC to get Surface back.
Really sends a message by areynol2	May 22nd, 2007 12:47:27 AM
Take that, minimum wage mail room worker at CBS studios.
i want my money back if this fails.... by funnyhat	May 22nd, 2007 12:48:24 AM
if we get a movie, i'll be happy.
I wish I was a television producer by chrth	May 22nd, 2007 12:50:46 AM
I'd make a geek show with Ribs as part of the plot, and then I'd cancel it. Mmm-mmm I'd be eating Ribs nonstop!
yep my $10 has been spent! by tristeele	May 22nd, 2007 12:56:02 AM
Hehe. I know our show isnt coming back but its still fun messing with CBS. All I want now is a 4 hour miniseries and Id be very happy.
Don't hire Tobias Fuenke by INWOsuxRED	May 22nd, 2007 12:56:19 AM
If fans really wanted to be true to their "favorite" show, they would shell CBS with mortar rounds. THAT would be funny.
wackybantha by slder78	May 22nd, 2007 01:19:40 AM
Well there's the grandaddy of all letter writing campaigns TOS Star Trek, Cagney and Lacey (also on CBS), Roswell from WB to UPN (a division of Viacom, parent of CBS). That's off the top of my head. Personally, I'm all for the nut thing. So what if it pisses CBS off? What are they gonna do, cancel the show again?
Here ya go, CBS... choke on THEEESE NUTS!! by LlGHTST0RMER	May 22nd, 2007 01:36:34 AM
Wow... it's like I'm a sophomore in High School all over again. And I don't just mean the nostalgia, I mean... I'm acting like one.
This is, well, nuts! by Krazy1	May 22nd, 2007 01:53:46 AM
I love it! I hope it works out. I am thinking about sending some embalming fluid to NBC to save Crossing Jordan now. At this point, my Wednesday tv watching is the shits with both these shows gone and Lost not comming back til '08.

Trying to make sense of talkback hate is like trying to make lemonade with your forehead, a brick wall and a bucket. You may have lemonade when you're done, but in the end the headache will make you not want lemonade. And thanks, by the way, for inspiring what must be one of the worst metaphors in history. Oh and NUTS!!! Write letters, folks. The show had real promise and just started delivering.
Jericho was AWFUL! So don't bother! by silentbobafett2	May 22nd, 2007 05:18:04 AM
GREAT IDEA! Done fucking awful! How can any of you supprt a show that was baout the end of the world, but people had fucking street parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the most insanley awful show, from a brilliant idea, I've ever seen! Don't wast eyou money on Nuts for these guys! Eat them yourselves!!! JERICHO IS A GOOD THING TO BE CANCELLED! :-)
We should send a truckload of pigs blood for Angel! by captboulder	May 22nd, 2007 07:15:57 AM
over at the CW! Now that would freak some bitches out for the next 10 years!
Actually, Boulder... by LlGHTST0RMER	May 22nd, 2007 07:37:52 AM
...in an attempt to show goodwill and dedication to their cause, many Angel fans gave blood as a "positive" protest to Angel's cancellation. Not given to the WB, but to the Red Cross or somewhere. Although I think the show's fate may have been different, had they tried your tactic. ;-)
LIGHTSTORMER, don't you mean "scare" tactic? by captboulder	May 22nd, 2007 10:34:54 AM
Because that what I would have went for if I was spearheading that campaign at the time!
The homeless in NYC will be eating nuts for MONTHS! by Bill Clay	May 22nd, 2007 11:30:22 AM
I don't understand how CBS can ignore this groundswell of support. Even if the numbers weren't statistically there, all this 'sound and fury' should clue them in that Jericho has a passionate fan base. Hell, I doubt that most Top 20 shows have the kind of rabid fans that Jericho has. CBS is NUTS to throw away this proven fan base on an untested reality show that will probably be canceled in a month. The only reason I can see for CBS not to reverse their decision, and at least bring Jericho back as a mid-season replacement when Kid Nation gets canceled, is stubborn pride. CBS' executives are too stubborn to admit that they made a mistake. Maybe they're afraid their jobs will be in jeopardy if the bosses at CBS realize how bad they screwed up?
"NUTS" Very Nice , Yes?????????? by EyesAll Around1	May 22nd, 2007 12:52:37 PM
This is a show that needs saving. Did you people that put down the show really watch more the 20 minutes of the.There was some pretty sucky episodes yes indeed, like the barn is on fire type of episodes and that is what is what got the show in trouble. It needs saving.
Any one know what final lbs were by indyjonez100	May 22nd, 2007 12:54:05 PM
How many lbs of nuts were delivered to CBS? I give them credit, it definitely is creative.
Just spent 5 bucks by optimus122	May 22nd, 2007 12:58:43 PM
MORE JERICHO!!!!MORE ASHLEY SCOTT!!!
silentbobafett2 SUCKS A MEAN CWAHKKK by optimus122	May 22nd, 2007 12:59:31 PM
Stupid kid :)
What they don't realise... by GilesT	May 22nd, 2007 01:02:28 PM
...is that while they'll get higher viewing figures, and therefore advertising revenue, for the first few episodes of a new show, rather than those of a returning show, eventually people are going to stop bothering watching the new shows altogether 'cause the probability of it being worth their time investment (ie, getting to see a whole story play out) is small. Short termism is ruining narrative TV.
Good luck guys by Coenbro	May 22nd, 2007 01:17:29 PM
Ones small problem. CBS doesn't need some middling (actually less-than-middling) cultish show. All of there shows are huge. They have some of the highest rated dramas and the highest rated comedy. Sure, I hate it all and can't remember the last time I watched CBS, but the fact is, they have no need for Jericho. It wasn't popular, it doesn't create any sort of buzz, and it costs a lot. I bet you Kid Nation will do better in the ratings. And the enitre run of Kid Nation probably costs 10 times less than a season of Jericho. It's the nature of TV these days and it's why you are seeing more reality and game shows. They cost nothing. I work in TV. Dramas cost a fortune, tons of people get risiduals (and God do I love them), and every one is union (which I love as well). It won't help CBS one whit to carry this show.
the show was dumb, but this really funny by JackLint	May 22nd, 2007 01:40:53 PM
too bad there wasn't this kind of outcry for shows that really deserved it (The Tick).
And why you should also eat me bitch by optimus122	May 22nd, 2007 03:41:01 PM
Please die
People of Jericho GOTTA EAT!! by dudemandude	May 22nd, 2007 10:50:35 PM
and that's the cold hard truth sukka fool.
That show was... by HardNate	May 23rd, 2007 02:19:17 AM
dull.
This thing is picking up steam by indyjonez100	May 23rd, 2007 01:03:59 PM
The media is finally getting wind of this campaign and their about to hit another 4000 lbs of nuts for today on top of the 4000 lbs they shipped today to CBS.
The Variety add money is... by tristeele	May 23rd, 2007 05:30:45 PM
almost collected as well. I think this thing is gonna keep going. Ive still been calling, emailing each day. lets go Jericho Nuts!!!
They collected enough for the Variety Ad! by none2525	May 23rd, 2007 10:02:34 PM
http://www.film.ca/jericho.htm and I bought another pound for ms tassler tonight too:-)
On a baser level... by GilesT	May 24th, 2007 12:16:40 AM
$5 is a VERY small price to pay to have Ashley Scott be grateful for your nuts. Or Skeet Ulrich, if that's what floats your boat!
