I don't know if anyone caught the ridiculous NPR review of the show, but the numnuts actually said they didn't like it because it was "upsetting".

Ultra conservative friend of mine said the same thing. "I don't like it because the idea kind of scares me."

It's supposed to! It preys on that fear of extinction. That in combination with the fear for survival should make for some gripping television.

... only if the writers handle it well.

Major Dad seemed a little miscast.

Well there you have it, ultra conservative and ultra liberal actually agree on something. :eek: :D

Yet another sign of the apocalypse. The show is profound.

The pilot is up on Yahoo.com

I agree with you. That would be like saying that you don't like half of the movies out there because they are based on something that may or may not happen in the future. I think they need to expand their minds a little, and also realize that the show is entertainment!

Major Dad actually plays a good role! After seeing him in the pilot I thought they did a good job casting him.

EW reckon it'll get the chop early on this season.

I don't think so. I think that its only real competition is Bones, which is also a Drama, and there is a big chunk of audience that doesn't watch that show. That being said, hopefully viewers won't be drawn to watching the DWTS results as opposed to this, but you never know. I think that it has a fighting chance of getting through!

I doubt that... the numbers arn't amazing, but FOX usually keeps shows with those numbers around for awhile...



As far as JERICHO is, I personally LOVED the pilot... it was engrossing, and at the end I just wanted to watch more and more... While I think the major arc will probably take a backseat to the small town/reshaping stories-of-the-week, it should still make for a good TV show.

I NEVER watch TV but I caught a preview for Jericho and it looked really REALLY good, and I will be watching; I believe the pilot is on Wednesday night.

I saw that as well. Not sure I agree with it though (reasoning was that it is up against Dancing with the Stars).
