CBS’ Last JERICHO Ever!!

everybody dies in a horrible conflaguration by bacci40	Mar 25th, 2008 12:20:21 AM

SciFi Wire has a story about Jericho looking for life on cable...
Who cares, really? by Paragon Complex	Mar 25th, 2008 12:51:51 AM
I never gave a rat's ass for either of these shows. Big Brother is something I just never had the notion to watch. Never loooked to suit me. Jericho? Good riddance to bad rubbish. That show had every chance in the world to succeed and failed miserably. Good riddance.
Jericho: So this week's episode won't wrap things up... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 25th, 2008 12:58:23 AM
I have a bad feeling this week's episode won't wrap things up satisfyingly at all, despite the fact that CBS ordered two different endings to be shot. I think Carol Barbee should let this one go -- there just does not seem to be much demand for Jericho, especially in the "lesser" mediums (comic books and the Internet).
If they had a deal to take it elsewhere... by Bill Clay	Mar 25th, 2008 01:07:32 AM
...they would have announced it by now. I'll miss Jericho, but no more nuts for me.
re: If they had a deal to take it elsewhere... by snowpuff	Mar 25th, 2008 01:37:50 AM
And your point being..? They didn't say they have a deal to take it elsewhere yet. So why would they have announced something they don't have? Maybe they would announced that they're looking to move the show to cable... oh wait, that's what they did.
They can't take Jericho elsewhere -- CBS owns it. by Prof. Pop-Cult	Mar 25th, 2008 01:43:45 AM
Unless another network on cable is willing to pay for the production of a series that they do not own, this is highly unlikely. The only possibility that comes to my mind is DirecTV, but they are already flipping the bill for Friday Night Lights season 3.
My prediction by Don Lockwood	Mar 25th, 2008 02:02:10 AM
I predict that Dick Donato will be an ass.
I'm Spartacus!!!! by Monkeybrains	Mar 25th, 2008 02:12:18 AM
Now Ashley Scott has plenty of free time to put back on her Huntress outfit. Or maybe not
Cheilsa is a fucking skank! I didn't think any- by GQtaste	Mar 25th, 2008 02:28:34 AM
anybody would give Josh a run for his money in the scumbag factor but Cheilsa is trying her best to win first prize. Talk about a sore loser. It's funny, that she gave Matty shit for crying the week of his eviction. Now it's her turn and she went way over simply tears. The things she's said to Nat., who bytheway, I"m no fan of, deserves an asswhoppin'. Cheilsa calling Nat. white trash is calling the kettle. And i'm not buying the fact that shes' twenty one years of age. She's going to have her plate full when she finds out about James' past, w/ the gay porn. Not to mention the reality of her going back into the "real world." Bascically, she's the lowest of the low. And a pathetic loser.
The only way for Jericho to end by The Selecter	Mar 25th, 2008 04:25:17 AM
is with a town block party. They can have self-roasting marshmallows from the radiation emanating from the remains of Cheyenne, and the natural atmospheric glow will be a redux of the fireworks display from the episode with the fake Marines. Plenty of booze to go around, with margaritas topped with salt from Skylar's salt mine. It ends in spectacular fashion with Hawkins and his daughter skipping town after spiking the feast with poison to cover their tracks.
guess it's just you and me Herc... by Maniaq	Mar 25th, 2008 04:36:22 AM
Actually now that I think about it, this series reminded me a lot of The Postman (the excellent book by David Brin, not the cheesy film by Kevin Costner) - and of course there's a story which proved pretty damn unpopular, huh? Guess the Yanks don't want to hear any stories post-apocalypse at the moment. The post-apocalyptic genre died in the arse in the early eighties - the "Greed Is Good" decade - when a booming global economy meant nobody wanted to hear "doom and gloom" because they were too busy partying like it's 1999... Interestingly, one of the highlights of this series (for me anyway) has been their nod to "Bartertown" from the last Mad Max film. Anyway, with many already describing the US economy as "in Recession" and the rest of us poised, waiting to see if the country may crumple into full-blown Depression and maybe take us all with it - are we not ready yet for a revival of this genre? Not if the latest Resident Evil film is any indicator...
Jericho will end with the war ending and the 4077 demobilising by newc0253	Mar 25th, 2008 05:15:09 AM
the finale will open with Skeet talking to a shrink about a woman strangling her chicken. But, oh my god, it turns out later it was her child! But he will return to wise-cracking form soon enough and he and BJ, Klinger, Radar, that posh guy and Hotlips all live happily ever after. The end.
Jericho needs more Terminators. by ChrisTuckersOnlyFan	Mar 25th, 2008 07:32:43 AM

surprise ending by almostgrown	Mar 25th, 2008 07:34:03 AM
the bomb detonates in Cheyenne and only reality TV survives.
Watched part of the finale last night by Highlander25	Mar 25th, 2008 08:49:46 AM
It wasn't a bad conclusion, and still leaves it open ended somewhat if they wanted to continue with the Civil War angle.
Just reveal that Obama and Jeremiah Wright are leading the Cheye by uss cygnus	Mar 25th, 2008 09:32:19 AM
And Have the legit US government forces nuke the city, as Wright makes a "Not God Bless America, God D### America---" Speech, with Obama Chuckling in the background. For the first time in her life, Michelle Obama will be proud to be an American. Cut to shots of the patriotic legitimate American cities celebrating as the mushroom cloud rises, fade to black.

That happens all the time. It used to be the norm.

"Unless another network on cable is willing to pay for the production of a series that they do not own..." Happens all the time. Used to the norm. Who do you think owns Scrubs? Not NBC. ABC.
I don't know Maniaq, I think the genre is making by Big Jim	Mar 25th, 2008 03:41:16 PM
a comeback. Time did an article on it a few months back, using Jericho, I am Legend, Cloverfield as examples, as well as well-received books The Road (which I just finished) and The World Without Us (which I just started).
Jericho ended with Bob Newhart waking up from a dream! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 25th, 2008 10:34:40 PM
...or maybe not!
BEST.EPISODE.EVER. by wackybantha	Mar 25th, 2008 10:37:15 PM
I LOVE YOU JERICHO!!!
Last word was "History." Start sending CBS History Books! by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Mar 25th, 2008 11:09:29 PM

I was very satisfied with the end. by jimbojones123	Mar 26th, 2008 12:30:13 AM
Great job Jericho folks.
Who knows.......spoiler by chuffsterUK	Mar 26th, 2008 08:44:55 AM
.......maybe "Jericho"as a title is dead,because the towns story has finished,but the whole Civil War story could be a whole new series.... P.s-At least they didn't finish it like that old Simpsons episode"And they were rescued by,oh,let's say,Moe..."!!!!
Novelizations by snowpuff	Mar 26th, 2008 04:55:42 PM
I don't usually go for books that continue shows after they're off the air, but Jericho could be a great series of books if you got someone like Harry Turtledove to carry the torch. Hint to CBS: This wouldn't cost you anything. Or at least very little. Bring on the second civil war!
Great finish!!! by Ashok0	Mar 26th, 2008 08:51:20 PM
100x more fulfilling that the lame Heroes finale.
